business end of the season and Ramberg will join the Wolves in the

:00:00.:00:00.

Premier League. More after the papers.

:00:00.:00:16.

Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be

:00:17.:00:21.

bringing us tomorrow. With me are the broadcaster Shyama Perera and

:00:22.:00:22.

freelance Parliamentary Correspondent Rob Merrick. There

:00:23.:00:30.

will be no mention of swimming trunks this time. Tomorrow's front

:00:31.:00:40.

pages, starting with... In an interview with the Independent, the

:00:41.:00:42.

Government's Surveillance Commissioner has warned roadside

:00:43.:00:46.

cameras are threatening our privacy. The Mail reports allegations that

:00:47.:00:49.

British Gas have paid staff bonuses to inflate customers' bills. The

:00:50.:00:56.

Mirror says one of the men convicted over the killing of a young boy in

:00:57.:00:59.

Liverpool in 2007 has been released from prison. The Archbishop of

:01:00.:01:02.

Canterbury tells the Telegraph about his anguish over the Church of

:01:03.:01:05.

England's position on gay marriage. The Express says pensioners are

:01:06.:01:07.

taking out equity from their homes to make ends meet. The FT says the

:01:08.:01:11.

world's largest asset manager is preparing to launch new pension

:01:12.:01:14.

products in the UK in the light of changes announced in the Budget. The

:01:15.:01:17.

Guardian says the personal financial data of millions of people could be

:01:18.:01:20.

sold under plans being drawn up by Revenue and Customs. And the Times

:01:21.:01:23.

says a document has emerged which undermines claims by a group of

:01:24.:01:26.

Iraqis that they were ill`treated by British soldiers a decade ago. And

:01:27.:01:36.

that is the story we will start with. The scandal of Rikishi troops

:01:37.:01:42.

left to face a murder lies. A secret papers shows that at users were

:01:43.:01:49.

militants. This was a group of Iraqis that have claimed they were

:01:50.:01:52.

mistreated and they got quite a bit of legal aid to fight the case. The

:01:53.:02:00.

inquiry is still ongoing I believe. It is already cost ?23 million. What

:02:01.:02:07.

I don't quite get is whether or not, ultimately, it is a bad thing

:02:08.:02:16.

that this went ahead or in a strange way, even if they cheated to get

:02:17.:02:21.

their weight into legal aid, it might not be entirely clear in

:02:22.:02:31.

this. What has been worth the money? The company that represents the

:02:32.:02:41.

Iraqis shredded the original English translation of a document which

:02:42.:02:46.

showed that the defendants were members of a paramilitary. That was

:02:47.:02:55.

the day before the inquiry was due to begin. This document was not

:02:56.:03:02.

shown when legal aid was applied for and if it had been, they would not

:03:03.:03:06.

have got legal aid. That in itself is a vital part of this story. What

:03:07.:03:14.

I am not entirely sure of when reading this is whether that

:03:15.:03:18.

undermines what did then came out of the inquiry. The article goes on to

:03:19.:03:24.

say as well that if this is true, that the soldiers had been put under

:03:25.:03:30.

incredibly close scrutiny and it has gone on for years, that is part of

:03:31.:03:42.

this outrage. And yes it is. In 2007 the detainees and their families

:03:43.:03:48.

were refused judicial review and it has been seven years since that

:03:49.:03:53.

decision was taken. As you say, what the story says is that the case

:03:54.:03:58.

would not have gone ahead because he would not have got legal aid. It is

:03:59.:04:03.

a very strong headline. But whether that means that anyone set out at

:04:04.:04:08.

the start who says that the murders took lays, or whether it was

:04:09.:04:12.

established during the case, that is something different isn't it? The

:04:13.:04:17.

issue is mistreatment and that is still ongoing and we know of other

:04:18.:04:22.

cases where it has been true. Regardless, most people would say it

:04:23.:04:27.

was clearly wrong that the case went ahead and that it was a war and

:04:28.:04:30.

these were people fighting in horrific circumstances with terrible

:04:31.:04:35.

injuries done. I am certain this will have repercussions. The law

:04:36.:04:42.

firms at the centre of it still have 2000 additional claims against the

:04:43.:04:45.

administration for unlawful killings and you wonder what the impact of

:04:46.:04:50.

those will be. Yes, you wonder whether they will have any merit

:04:51.:05:03.

(all. The argument here `` at all. The argument is that the soldiers

:05:04.:05:07.

were put through the rigors of an inquiry that they should not have

:05:08.:05:16.

had to face. Yes, some MPs are calling for investigation. Clearly

:05:17.:05:20.

this needs to happen. These two firms did not show a piece of paper

:05:21.:05:27.

that was absolutely vital. We have had Nigel Evans talking about the

:05:28.:05:31.

cost of defending himself, and issues around legal aid because

:05:32.:05:35.

there are people who cannot get it when they most needed, the idea that

:05:36.:05:44.

?23 million has been spent on two law firms `` from, misleading the

:05:45.:05:52.

fact that the case, it brings the whole thing under scrutiny. Are the

:05:53.:05:59.

wrong people getting money? Now to the interview with the Archbishop of

:06:00.:06:08.

Canterbury. Concentrating on the difficulty that gay marriage, now

:06:09.:06:10.

that it has been legalized, poses for the church. You have much

:06:11.:06:21.

sympathy for the church about Rob ``, Rob, since people of the same

:06:22.:06:32.

sex can now be married? I do have sympathy for people trying to see

:06:33.:06:37.

the issue through religious eyes. For people who have grown up

:06:38.:06:40.

believing that it is a religious institution, it is hard to look at

:06:41.:06:45.

it a different way. The Archbishop is one of those people. He spoke out

:06:46.:06:50.

against gay marriage and was taken aback by the hostility around him

:06:51.:06:56.

when he did it. He is now in a position of accepting it and I

:06:57.:06:59.

imagine that is what more and more people will do. They might think

:07:00.:07:03.

that the whole issue is done and dusted. But for the Church of

:07:04.:07:09.

England it is an ongoing issue. He talks about his almost impossible

:07:10.:07:13.

task of reconciling the views of riches church `goers with those in

:07:14.:07:18.

Africa for example. I read that the Church of England is conducting

:07:19.:07:24.

lesson type services which would feel like gay marriage happening in

:07:25.:07:29.

church, so it is still an ongoing issue. The law changes, but

:07:30.:07:38.

attitudes take a while to catch up, don't they? The trouble is if you

:07:39.:07:44.

truly believe something is wrong, it is very difficult even when you have

:07:45.:07:48.

been told that the current thinking is that it is not the case, it is

:07:49.:07:52.

very difficult to just change your views simply because the rest of the

:07:53.:07:59.

country thinks you should. I stay out of church issues. I am a

:08:00.:08:04.

Buddhist and I remember an archbishop a number of years ago,

:08:05.:08:09.

who I was sent to talk with. I didn't know that they all were

:08:10.:08:15.

different colours so I went up to one and said, " Archbishop can I

:08:16.:08:24.

talk to you? " and it was the wrong one. So I stay out of this. I am

:08:25.:08:33.

always slightly anxious about people bowing down to a higher force that I

:08:34.:08:40.

cannot see. But he has got to navigate this hasn't he? He is the

:08:41.:08:44.

head of the Anglican Church as well and as Rob was saying among other

:08:45.:08:51.

parts of the word tend to, how can I say it, leg behind? It is a

:08:52.:08:54.

difference of opinion though, isn't it? It is not just a difference of

:08:55.:09:02.

opinion. There are brutal actions being taken out over the world that

:09:03.:09:07.

are covered up by the Church of England and the Archbishop is quite

:09:08.:09:13.

right to be juxtaposing what is right against what can actually be

:09:14.:09:21.

done and it is a Catch`22. To me, there is a simple solution, but

:09:22.:09:26.

obviously you cannot take it. As the head of the church though, he can

:09:27.:09:32.

say that the abuse gay people have suffered is an acceptable without

:09:33.:09:37.

agreeing with gay marriage can't he? You can stand up for one thing

:09:38.:09:44.

without caving in over everything. But this country is accepting gay

:09:45.:09:50.

marriage to a greater degree. The Archbishop probably strikes people

:09:51.:10:00.

as one of life great optimist `` like's. Let's move on. The moment

:10:01.:10:12.

the ferry captain abandoned the ship. This is the ferry that sank in

:10:13.:10:18.

North Korea earlier this week `` South Korea. Many still not

:10:19.:10:27.

accounted for and we know of at least 20 who have died. The death

:10:28.:10:32.

toll is likely to rise and now we know that officers and the captain

:10:33.:10:41.

have been formally arrested. This is the last thing you ever expect of a

:10:42.:10:44.

captain who is supposed to be the last one off the ship. It is an

:10:45.:10:49.

extraordinary photograph. It is so clear and it looks to the naked eye

:10:50.:10:54.

as if there is still time for him to go back and help people come out as

:10:55.:11:00.

a large part of the ship is out of the water. It reminds one of the

:11:01.:11:08.

Costa Concordia when that happened. The captain also instantly jumped

:11:09.:11:14.

ship. Perhaps we have watched Titanic one too many times, but you

:11:15.:11:20.

are expected to do everything you can to save everyone on board. I

:11:21.:11:25.

thought that was what made you a captain not just that you can steer.

:11:26.:11:34.

It appears there were catastrophic errors while he was still on the

:11:35.:11:39.

ship, many of the children told to stay below deck when they could have

:11:40.:11:45.

done more to survive. The story had it all, in terms of his behaviour.

:11:46.:11:49.

We were amazed how little coverage this has gotten today. It is quite

:11:50.:11:56.

difficult to see as this is quite a small picture, perhaps it should

:11:57.:12:01.

have had greater prominence. It is all very interesting with the

:12:02.:12:05.

Malaysian plane going down, the focus on that part of the world

:12:06.:12:11.

around disasters, it is so interesting and will be interesting

:12:12.:12:14.

to see how they are all managed afterwards. Moving on. Anonymous

:12:15.:12:26.

financial details cannot be bought by different firms. What uses this

:12:27.:12:37.

data, do you know? I would imagine it is of great use to credit rating

:12:38.:12:41.

companies and advertisers who are able to look in either Norma's

:12:42.:12:47.

detail at this. They can make money off of this. I suppose when most

:12:48.:12:51.

people look at these companies, the realise that they do not have golden

:12:52.:12:59.

records when it comes to people 's data particularly HMRC. I think

:13:00.:13:07.

people might also remember this is on the back of the GP records being

:13:08.:13:17.

sold off in a similar way. But there were health benefits their, ``

:13:18.:13:29.

there. But if there are clear benefits in that case, where are the

:13:30.:13:33.

benefits here? He looked to be eerily financial. HMRC, like all

:13:34.:13:41.

public bodies, has had to make huge cutbacks in recent years. We have no

:13:42.:13:52.

choice to give in the matter do we? You can look in one area and see

:13:53.:13:55.

that there are more pensioners with too little in their pots, I am not

:13:56.:14:00.

sure how it works or what they use it for. It may be used to help with

:14:01.:14:08.

social support. We don't know but we don't want to take the risk. I think

:14:09.:14:12.

that is basically what is being said. To suggest that they can

:14:13.:14:19.

practice price dissemination, I don't know how they can do that if

:14:20.:14:22.

it is all anonymous. I need an accountant to explain. This is a man

:14:23.:14:35.

who is accused of conning his way around the London Marathon. He was

:14:36.:14:50.

boasting about the time in which he had done it. I do not know how it

:14:51.:14:55.

works. I'm told that on some parts of the London Marathon route, you

:14:56.:15:00.

double back. I suppose he could have climbed over a couple of barriers. I

:15:01.:15:06.

just think... It's a terrible thing to say but I think it's a very funny

:15:07.:15:13.

story. Do you? He got a medal for it. Do you think it is funny? It is

:15:14.:15:25.

hilarious! He allegedly ran the second half of the marathon faster

:15:26.:15:31.

than Mo Farah. He was uncovered by a man who looks into everything like

:15:32.:15:35.

this. And he was not the only person to have done this. He has written,

:15:36.:15:41.

with a second`half like that, you must work on your first half pacing.

:15:42.:15:46.

The fact that he could go around in two hours and hold the world

:15:47.:15:50.

record... One of my friends did it in three hours and that seems

:15:51.:15:53.

unfeasibly fast. Perhaps I should get in contact with this man and see

:15:54.:16:01.

if he can check up on my friend. Do you think he realised there were

:16:02.:16:04.

markers where you are literally clocked? Does he care? I know I

:16:05.:16:11.

could probably walk it faster than I could run it, and that is not

:16:12.:16:14.

happening any time soon. Thank you for joining us this evening. I will

:16:15.:16:19.

be back at midnight with the news. Next, Sportsday.
