:00:00. > :00:00.We will have both results on the way. And more on Chris Hoy and his
:00:00. > :00:24.attempt to forge a career in motor sports. That comes after the papers.
:00:25. > :00:27.Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing
:00:28. > :00:29.us tomorrow. With me are the Spectator's Assistant editor Isabel
:00:30. > :00:32.Hardman and Owen Jones from The Guardian. Tomorrow's front pages.
:00:33. > :00:35.The Telegraph leads with comments from the culture secretary, Maria
:00:36. > :00:41.Miller ` 'I have let you down' is the paper's headline. But its front
:00:42. > :00:44.page is dominated by Martin McGuinness, the Deputy First
:00:45. > :00:47.Minister of Northern Ireland wearing a white tie as he toasted the health
:00:48. > :00:51.of the Queen at this evening's state banquet at Windsor Castle. Martin
:00:52. > :00:55.McGuinness dressed in his evening finery also features on the front
:00:56. > :00:58.page of the Mail. But alongside is what the paper describes as the
:00:59. > :01:02.'dignified protest' of a father of an Omagh bomb victim, holding a
:01:03. > :01:04.placard. The Irish Times not surprisingly leads with today's
:01:05. > :01:07.historic state visit to the UK by the Irish President Michael D
:01:08. > :01:10.Higgins. But for the Guardian, it's the controversy over the culture
:01:11. > :01:13.secretary Maria Miller, which makes the lead story, and the desperate
:01:14. > :01:17.plea from her parliamentary aide to Tory MPs to back her. The
:01:18. > :01:20.Independent claims some drugs clinics are offering addicts
:01:21. > :01:23.shopping vouchers to quit. And the Times carries an exclusive,
:01:24. > :01:25.reporting that the Ministry of Defence is attempting to block the
:01:26. > :01:28.publication of a book it commissioned one of its own officers
:01:29. > :01:31.to write, which paints a bleak picture of the way military
:01:32. > :01:42.operations were carried out in Afghanistan. But it's the sad death
:01:43. > :01:45.of Peaches Geldof that the Metro chooses to focus on ` it says her
:01:46. > :01:49.father Sir Bob Geldof was a sombre figure as he flew home to Britain
:01:50. > :01:52.from the United States. And Peaches is also pictured with her baby sons
:01:53. > :01:56.on the front page of the Star. The paper claims drugs and suicide have
:01:57. > :02:08.not been ruled out as a cause of her death. So let's begin. We begin with
:02:09. > :02:13.this picture, as the Queen hails Irish friends. Michael D Higgins,
:02:14. > :02:23.the head of state for the Irish Republic. There is an Irish folk
:02:24. > :02:27.ballad called the fields of Rye, talking about the two main
:02:28. > :02:33.oppressors of Ireland being famine and the Crown. And you have this
:02:34. > :02:41.lovely picture of the Queen with Michael D Higgins, and they look
:02:42. > :02:44.like best chums. The other side of this is the anger from those who
:02:45. > :02:51.filled the past is not something they are ready to let go of. They
:02:52. > :02:57.are living in it. One of the themes of this visit for both the Queen and
:02:58. > :03:00.Michael D Higgins have been that the two countries need to deal with
:03:01. > :03:03.their history and look to their future. But there have been protests
:03:04. > :03:07.of relatives of those killed. They say there are still questions from
:03:08. > :03:13.the past which need to be Ansett before the countries can move on.
:03:14. > :03:26.The speeches from both heads of state `` need to be answered. The
:03:27. > :03:30.speeches were about looking and moving forward. For people on the
:03:31. > :03:39.ground, that is difficult. Of course it is. It goes back centuries. The
:03:40. > :03:43.colonial histories, with famine, the Irish famine in the 19th century,
:03:44. > :03:47.the colonial terror which lasted into the 20th century after the
:03:48. > :03:55.First World War, and then you have the legacy of the Irish Troubles,
:03:56. > :04:01.where thousands of civilians were killed by loyalists as well as the
:04:02. > :04:05.British Army, you also have a legacy of discrimination suffered by the
:04:06. > :04:11.Irish community. We see a move before normality. That is a great
:04:12. > :04:17.legacy of the peace process. If you have suffered, as so many have, the
:04:18. > :04:21.bitter memory of a father, a son, a daughter, being killed in horrific
:04:22. > :04:26.circumstances, no one should expect them to just move on and put it
:04:27. > :04:30.behind them. A peace process says that enough people have died, let's
:04:31. > :04:42.move on and have a process to stop it ever happening again. That is
:04:43. > :04:55.what this is a part of. As you said, the Daily Mail leads with a father
:04:56. > :04:58.who cannot for give. This man's son was killed in a bombing, and he says
:04:59. > :05:03.there are still questions which desperately need to be answered.
:05:04. > :05:08.This is the other side to the visit. One of the problems is that the
:05:09. > :05:12.letters sent out in some cases suggested that some suspects might
:05:13. > :05:17.be guaranteed immunity from prosecution, staring all of this up
:05:18. > :05:21.again. Perhaps if the case hadn't arisen in the last few weeks and
:05:22. > :05:25.months, that would not have been such an issue. But things are a lot
:05:26. > :05:36.more broad than they would have been. `` a lot more raw. . Let's not
:05:37. > :05:43.forget the attack there was by dissident republicans, attempting to
:05:44. > :05:53.destabilise the peace process, it was by parties very opposed to Sinn
:05:54. > :05:59.Fein. So it was the last great big atrocity of the Troubles. And one of
:06:00. > :06:06.the worst it in terms of civilian deaths. It gave a renewed sense of
:06:07. > :06:12.determination to the peace process, which others had tried to
:06:13. > :06:18.destabilise. It is proving to be hugely symbolic. The fact that he
:06:19. > :06:21.went to Windsor Castle, toasted the Queen, Stuffer the national anthem,
:06:22. > :06:28.would previously have been unimaginable. Many who remember the
:06:29. > :06:36.past decades could not have imagined it. Sinn Fein did not take up their
:06:37. > :06:41.seat in Parliament, because that would mean respecting the
:06:42. > :06:46.sovereignty of Britain. The fact they ended up in coalition with Ian
:06:47. > :06:53.Paisley shows that this is a remarkable piece of progress. The
:06:54. > :06:57.commitment to the peace process in terms of stability for the peoples
:06:58. > :07:08.of Northern Ireland, written, and Ireland, this is `` Britain, this
:07:09. > :07:17.reminds us how far we have come. Sounds like praise for Tony Blair!
:07:18. > :07:37.You are at the Guardian now, and you have changed. Already. Bowen, where
:07:38. > :07:46.did you go there is back `` Owen. The media accused of a hidden agenda
:07:47. > :07:56.with regard to the Leveson proposals. The vast majority of
:07:57. > :08:01.voters, across the spectrum, UKIP might even be marginally more angry,
:08:02. > :08:15.even though three quarters of the population thinks she should resign.
:08:16. > :08:25.The reason this has caused such a outrage, is that if you are accused
:08:26. > :08:29.of benefit fraud, you get the full force of the law down on you. They
:08:30. > :08:35.don't understand why are MPs are allowed, if accused of wrongdoing,
:08:36. > :08:41.to have their colleagues sit in judgement. They don't understand why
:08:42. > :08:47.MPs, who are paid far more than them, at a time of long falling
:08:48. > :08:53.living standards, are basically regarding expenses as a way to top
:08:54. > :09:02.up salaries. That is why this is causing outrage. Leveson may be
:09:03. > :09:09.fuelling this further, but that is why people are upset. She was
:09:10. > :09:12.pleading with colleagues to support Maria Miller, suggesting a
:09:13. > :09:17.witch`hunt. One of the things exactly that very few colleagues
:09:18. > :09:23.have been prepared to defend her in public. Some have done so because it
:09:24. > :09:28.is their job to do so, but without a great deal of enthusiasm for her as
:09:29. > :09:31.a minister. She seems to have very few allies in Cabinet, even before
:09:32. > :09:36.this blew up. Her non` apology on Thursday, it was very difficult to
:09:37. > :09:40.find a Cabinet minister who thought she would survive the summer
:09:41. > :09:45.reshuffle anyway. She was damaged goods because of Leveson and gay
:09:46. > :09:51.marriage. She wasn't a great performer, as well. I actually
:09:52. > :09:55.disagreed with that. She was hugely respectful over gay marriage. She
:09:56. > :10:03.took questions from all sides. Watching her apology last week, I
:10:04. > :10:07.turned the TV on, and sought her colleagues sitting next to her,
:10:08. > :10:14.Jeremy Hunt. And then I saw the report later that showed him going
:10:15. > :10:17.back up there in order to show physically for the cameras his
:10:18. > :10:25.support. He hasn't come out and said anything, or George Young. He
:10:26. > :10:31.probably wouldn't, because he is the chief. He probably feels the her,
:10:32. > :10:37.because he has been through his own crisis. Most Tory MPs have looked at
:10:38. > :10:41.this and decided it was too toxic. I think the difference is between
:10:42. > :10:48.David Cameron and other prime ministers is that others would have
:10:49. > :10:51.let her go very quickly. You mentioned Jeremy Hunt, he was
:10:52. > :10:59.embroiled in controversy, and ended up being promoted. He would now
:11:00. > :11:12.think that he made a big mistake. Absolutely, people like me have
:11:13. > :11:21.apologised publicly. Folks, you can get this on iPlayer. Owen Jones said
:11:22. > :11:27.he was wrong. There is a difference in approach where David Cameron is
:11:28. > :11:33.loath to let ministers go. He doesn't have many women in Cabinet.
:11:34. > :11:38.He doesn't have to make her resign in order to sack her. What he could
:11:39. > :11:44.have done is insist on some form of public contrition which made her
:11:45. > :11:56.apology in the House of Commons. And possibly not use the words "warm
:11:57. > :12:02.support" . She has managed to fuel this as best she could. She gave a
:12:03. > :12:08.terrible non` apology. And Mary Macleod's intervention has not
:12:09. > :12:13.helped. Especially with all the things going on. The Times doesn't
:12:14. > :12:27.have Maria Miller on the front, actually. At the very bottom. And
:12:28. > :12:34.from them, how surprising! This is fascinating. It is a book from a
:12:35. > :12:38.captain in the Territorial Army about the lessons from Afghanistan.
:12:39. > :12:42.It is about what the government can learn from that conflict. The
:12:43. > :12:45.Ministry of Defence feels, their argument is that could contain
:12:46. > :12:50.intelligence material which shouldn't be in the public domain.
:12:51. > :12:53.But it is surely part of a really important public debate about the
:12:54. > :12:57.lessons from the conflict in Afghanistan. As we start to pull out
:12:58. > :13:02.from that country, you see everyone, left my right, and centre, offering
:13:03. > :13:07.their own opinions, when they may not have even been to Afghanistan.
:13:08. > :13:12.Surely this is an important part of accountability process. I think it
:13:13. > :13:20.is a travesty of their block this book. This is a war which began, and
:13:21. > :13:30.was over very quickly. It was one of these "mission accomplished" , and
:13:31. > :13:35.13 years later with many deaths and no peace and security in
:13:36. > :13:44.Afghanistan, a disastrous conflict in which so many died horrendous
:13:45. > :13:50.deaths. There was that sense, partly, it was because you had had
:13:51. > :13:57.the British quite humiliating rout in Basra in Iraq, and this was in a
:13:58. > :14:00.sense to compensate for that, and I think all people, regardless of
:14:01. > :14:08.their stamps on the conflict, would want lessons to be learnt in order
:14:09. > :14:12.for such an unnecessary loss of life to be avoided. If they block this,
:14:13. > :14:27.it could put people 's lives at risk in future and end Finally, the Daily
:14:28. > :14:34.Telegraph. How not to make cheese on toast. I hope we can bring this
:14:35. > :14:39.picture up now. We really lobbied for this. What happened here? The
:14:40. > :14:43.London Fire Brigade were called out to a house they are being used by a
:14:44. > :14:53.toaster on its side with cheese in it. That is quite clever. If I was
:14:54. > :14:59.the worse for wear I could imagine myself doing this. You are
:15:00. > :15:07.desperately cheese, you don't want the cheese to fall off. It makes
:15:08. > :15:16.perfect sense. Was there a problem here? To the house blowup? There was
:15:17. > :15:22.a house fire. I was going to give it ago but I have decided not to on the
:15:23. > :15:38.basis this story. Import and cooking advice. Bowen and Isabel thank you.
:15:39. > :15:42.Stay with us here on BBC News. We will have more on the first of a
:15:43. > :15:50.state visit to the UK by the president of the Irish Republic. The
:15:51. > :15:57.Queen has welcomed him. Now it is sports day. .
