:00:00. > :00:17.weight of the grasscourt tennis season for the men's number two and

:00:18. > :00:20.three at Queens. Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers

:00:21. > :00:23.will be bringing us tomorrow. With me are Isabel Hardman of the

:00:24. > :00:26.Spectator, Torcuil Crichton of the Daily Record, and from Glasgow, with

:00:27. > :00:29.100 days of campaigning to go before the Scottish referendum, Richard

:00:30. > :00:34.Walker of the Sunday Herald. Tomorrow's front pages, starting

:00:35. > :00:38.with: The Metro dedicates its front page to the Young Ones comedian Rik

:00:39. > :00:41.Mayall, who has died at the age of 56. The Scotsman leads with the Yes

:00:42. > :00:43.and No camps marking one`hundred days until the Scottish independence

:00:44. > :00:46.referendum. The maximum fine for speeding is to be quadrupled, rising

:00:47. > :00:49.to 10,000 pounds, according to the Telegraph. The Ofsted report into 21

:00:50. > :00:52.Birmingham schools is the Guardian's main story. The paper quotes

:00:53. > :00:53.Education Secretary Michael Gove as saying schools must "promote British

:00:54. > :01:02.values". The FT says moves from central banks have extinguished

:01:03. > :01:05.volatility in global financial markets. Glasgow newspaper the Daily

:01:06. > :01:09.Record marks the death of comedian Rik Mayall and reports that Alex

:01:10. > :01:23.Salmond says he'll remain as First Minister if Scotland returns a no

:01:24. > :01:26.vote in September. The Times reports that all children will be taught

:01:27. > :01:28.British values of liberty and tolerance from September following

:01:29. > :01:32.today's Ofsted report. And the Daily Mail goes with the same story

:01:33. > :01:46.reporting on what it says is a "damning verdict" by Ofsted. So

:01:47. > :01:52.let's begin. A damning verdict by Ofsted. Trojan horse schools. The

:01:53. > :01:58.fact is that the report from Ofsted, it didn't really go as far as saying

:01:59. > :02:02.that hardline Muslims were trying to take over the schools. No, it did

:02:03. > :02:06.not find any evidence of a Trojan horse plot as alleged in the

:02:07. > :02:12.original letter which sparked the investigations. But to a certain

:02:13. > :02:16.extent, the fact that there wasn't a plot was almost as worrying. This

:02:17. > :02:20.infiltration without there being something systematic and organised

:02:21. > :02:26.and the extent to which strict Islamist practices and was in

:02:27. > :02:30.practices were being introduced in these schools is worrying. Because

:02:31. > :02:34.there wasn't something organised going on. It was almost easier to do

:02:35. > :02:41.it without it. It is the kind of report that might reflect badly on

:02:42. > :02:45.an education secretary. It is happening on his watch. How do you

:02:46. > :02:48.think Michael Gove comes out of this, bearing in mind some of these

:02:49. > :03:01.allegations were made four years ago? They haven't accounted for it

:03:02. > :03:05.before he became secretary, it was a worry he had. He is looking for it

:03:06. > :03:13.and has found it. The so`called Trojan horse plot. It is fairly

:03:14. > :03:17.damning stuff. The Daily Mail has taken the angle of how bad things

:03:18. > :03:23.were. Michael Gove said it wasn't his fault and the Home Office should

:03:24. > :03:31.have stamp this out years ago. The Home Secretary was having none of

:03:32. > :03:36.that nonsense. She released a letter showing that the Education

:03:37. > :03:42.Department had been warned about this beforehand, years ago. And so

:03:43. > :03:48.the ball went backwards and forwards in a very damaging Cabinet row over

:03:49. > :03:53.the weekend. She had to answer an urgent question, and afterwards made

:03:54. > :04:05.a statement outlining the Ofsted report and what Michael gof will do

:04:06. > :04:12.about it. `` Michael Gove. It was very artificial in some places.

:04:13. > :04:17.Theresa May gave her statement first. And Michael Gove was nodding

:04:18. > :04:23.furiously, trying to show her approval `` his approval. And she

:04:24. > :04:29.tried to leave very quickly, and it was immediately indicated that she

:04:30. > :04:33.should set down. I am sure you are laughing at this in Glasgow,

:04:34. > :04:37.Richard. The shenanigans which have been going on down here, have the

:04:38. > :04:41.people of Scotland been following them much or as the debate on

:04:42. > :04:46.independence taking over everything? It is not taking over everything, it

:04:47. > :04:51.is a big important debate. I am laughing at this but mainly at the

:04:52. > :04:59.Daily Mail front page, which begins with a campaign for hardline

:05:00. > :05:03.Islamist, when it wasn't. It mentions the shocking extent to

:05:04. > :05:08.which strict Muslim practices are being imposed. That would be the

:05:09. > :05:13.banning of Raffles from school fates. I am shocked to my very core.

:05:14. > :05:23.I am starting to get a bit worried about the reporting of this story.

:05:24. > :05:29.`` fetes. Michael Gove rejects extreme Muslim perspectives? I would

:05:30. > :05:34.agree with that, I would also reject an extreme Christian perspective.

:05:35. > :05:39.The Ofsted report is damning. There is no question about that.

:05:40. > :05:41.Governments do not reach their statutory responsibilities to

:05:42. > :05:48.safeguard pupils. I don't know about these schools. And nor do you and

:05:49. > :05:54.nor does anyone in the studio. I know that two years ago, one school

:05:55. > :06:00.was described as a modern school, and is now is described as failing

:06:01. > :06:05.in every single category. What has changed in two years? I suspect that

:06:06. > :06:13.what has changed is what the inspectors are looking for. I wonder

:06:14. > :06:16.if that changes motivated by politics or standards? Would you

:06:17. > :06:23.consider that the original inspections are flawed? That it was

:06:24. > :06:28.all about ticking boxes and not inspecting the actual ethos of these

:06:29. > :06:33.schools. It must have been fairly flawed the first time if they didn't

:06:34. > :06:38.realise what had been prohibited. OK. Let's go on to the times. All

:06:39. > :06:45.schools must teach what is be British. Richard, I will stick with

:06:46. > :06:48.you on this. Richard, what would you say it means to be British? And is

:06:49. > :07:27.it possible to get that across in schools?

:07:28. > :07:35.Where British values and Scottish values start to be defined, that it

:07:36. > :07:39.is difficult. It is difficult. That will be the problem here. Do you

:07:40. > :07:45.agree with what Richard was saying, that the application is that Muslim

:07:46. > :07:50.values or Islamist values potentially are not British values?

:07:51. > :08:05.You have to recognise this as the political chat it is. `` chaff.

:08:06. > :08:08.Having to write letters of apology, distracting from the Newark

:08:09. > :08:12.by`election, the D`Day commendations and everything else. He messed up

:08:13. > :08:21.badly last week. So he has to do come out and address British values.

:08:22. > :08:24.The schools involved are a lot more important than political

:08:25. > :08:29.machinations in Westminster. Isabel, has this hurt Michael Gove? The

:08:30. > :08:37.suggestion was that after he had to apologise on Sunday, when Theresa

:08:38. > :08:40.May lost her lieutenant as it were, but she came off the worst. But

:08:41. > :08:46.longer term, is it really that create? Longer term, it is still

:08:47. > :08:50.damaging for Theresa May. There are some special advisers in Westminster

:08:51. > :08:53.who do the job with the department. They make sure the department is

:08:54. > :08:57.safe and they will stay committed to the department even if the minister

:08:58. > :09:01.stays on and they would like to stay at the department. Fiona Cunningham,

:09:02. > :09:07.Theresa May's special adviser, wasn't just ambitious for the Home

:09:08. > :09:12.Office for Theresa May's you chat. And she was fiercely loyal. If you

:09:13. > :09:17.criticise her even with one line in a column, you would get a fierce

:09:18. > :09:24.response from Fiona Cunningham. `` future. In the future she doesn't

:09:25. > :09:28.have that ally. A week is a long time in politics, and Theresa May

:09:29. > :09:33.will be around for longer than a week. She is the one who is a tough

:09:34. > :09:36.cookie and has chewed up and spat out the Police Federation in a

:09:37. > :09:41.speech which should have been made 25 years ago. She is the one who

:09:42. > :09:46.stood up and did it. She stood them down. A lot of policemen would

:09:47. > :09:51.disagree with you on that. A lot of other people also. Yes, but she will

:09:52. > :09:55.take on her enemies and sit them down. I wouldn't like to be Michael

:09:56. > :10:01.Gove walking down a dark alley in Westminster. She does bear a grudge.

:10:02. > :10:05.A lot of this row has to do with the previous row and Cabinet when

:10:06. > :10:10.Michael Gove gave Theresa May a dressing down in front of her

:10:11. > :10:14.colleagues. Some slapped him on the back ahead of that. So who knows

:10:15. > :10:23.what her next revenge will be like? Let's go to the Scotsman. The yes

:10:24. > :10:26.movement and as referendum nears, do you think Alex Salmond is pouring

:10:27. > :10:31.whiskey thinking they have lost this? 100 days to go and they

:10:32. > :10:35.haven't done enough? No, strangely enough I don't think that. I think

:10:36. > :10:41.right now he is pouring whiskey and saying right, we have 100 days to

:10:42. > :10:46.go, let's do this. They have gained ground, the yes campaign. They are

:10:47. > :10:52.still eight points behind, something like that. It varies from Pole to

:10:53. > :11:03.Pole. What do the SNP and the yes campaign need to do `` poll to poll.

:11:04. > :11:06.They need to target the people who are undecided and spend all their

:11:07. > :11:12.time and energy making sure they decide to vote yes. They need to

:11:13. > :11:17.move the vote towards yes, some polls suggest it has stalled. If it

:11:18. > :11:21.has, at this stage, there is plenty of time. But that work needs to be

:11:22. > :11:27.done right now. 20 of time, is there enough time? As the days get

:11:28. > :11:33.shorter, the odds get longer. With 100 days to go, it is game on. Some

:11:34. > :11:38.would say that thank goodness there is only 100 days to go. I have

:11:39. > :11:43.written a short tune to celebrate the fact that it is only 100 days to

:11:44. > :11:47.go. It has been a long held up. The nationalist camp and the ASCAP is

:11:48. > :11:57.looking for a game changer. Something to change these odds. ``

:11:58. > :12:02.that yes camp. It was suggested it would be a good idea if David

:12:03. > :12:06.Cameron engaged in a TV debate with Alex Salmond, the First Minister of

:12:07. > :12:13.Scotland. That is exactly what Alex Salmond wants. He wants Scotland

:12:14. > :12:26.versus the Tories. Salmond versus the E `` Etonians. He said they had

:12:27. > :12:34.mismanaged things by making it written versus Scotland. Only Scots

:12:35. > :12:38.being relevant here. He says it has to be a vote promoting two different

:12:39. > :12:44.visions of what Scotland will be, independent or within the UK. But

:12:45. > :12:56.the gift to Alex Salmond tonight was Brown's speech. Would people be

:12:57. > :13:00.wondering why he would say that? His job is to unite the squabbling

:13:01. > :13:06.factions in the Better Together Campaign. You can't envy that task.

:13:07. > :13:17.His task is to stay calm and keep a reasonable voice in the know come ``

:13:18. > :13:23.no camp. And a vote for the status quo, if there is a no vote, that

:13:24. > :13:27.needs to be not seen as a copout but a good thing for Scotland. It is a

:13:28. > :13:31.difficult case to make because you don't want to get to emotional, it

:13:32. > :13:35.is you can never beat the Nationalists at emotion. By saying

:13:36. > :13:41.that the status quo is excellent. It is about tone, and they have made

:13:42. > :13:49.things almost boringly quiet. But that is also having a calming effect

:13:50. > :13:53.on the other camp. Whoever sounds most reasonable will probably win.

:13:54. > :13:59.With 100 days to go, as it hits 50, 40, 30... We will see a lot of

:14:00. > :14:05.emotion. From both sides, because a lot is at stake for people. It is

:14:06. > :14:10.great to see the nationalist side except that they have been a bit too

:14:11. > :14:25.negative `` acts that. Changing their tactics from `` accept.

:14:26. > :14:31.Changing their tactics from "no" to "no thanks". Nick Clegg came off

:14:32. > :14:38.second best in recent debates, that in itself means that we are unlikely

:14:39. > :14:42.to see a debate. If it doesn't happen for political reasons, and

:14:43. > :14:47.they don't want portrayed this fight as being between Scotland and posh

:14:48. > :14:51.boys in Westminster on and I can see the politics behind that. He has

:14:52. > :14:54.also said that he is passionate about saving the union. And that he

:14:55. > :14:59.will fight with every fibre of his being to do so. So I am not sure why

:15:00. > :15:05.the political machinations triumph over his emotional attachment to the

:15:06. > :15:11.union. So I don't see why he doesn't do the debate. There is more chance

:15:12. > :15:16.of Scotland winning the World Cup than of David Cameron agreeing to a

:15:17. > :15:18.debate unless the polls changed dramatically. Or as much chance of

:15:19. > :15:36.England winning the World Cup. Rick Mayall has died suddenly at the

:15:37. > :15:43.age of 56 and there is no explanation as of yet why he has so

:15:44. > :15:47.young. It is such a shock. He was so talented and seemed so healthy and

:15:48. > :15:58.it must be dreadful for his family to have had no warning at all. Was

:15:59. > :16:05.there a character like him in your dorm when you were in college? What

:16:06. > :16:10.he managed to do was tap into a side of society that we all knew about

:16:11. > :16:15.but that was not being written about or publicized on television. It is

:16:16. > :16:21.hard now to remember what the British comedy was like before the

:16:22. > :16:30.comic strip but if you try to test your memory, it wasn't good and he

:16:31. > :16:33.completely revolutionized it. There were groups of people you hated the

:16:34. > :16:38.same things you hate it and sat arise the same things and I think

:16:39. > :16:45.him and he has sacrificed that recently. As a comedian he made

:16:46. > :16:53.comedy out of nothing. He did a lot with very little. A combination of

:16:54. > :17:08.physicality and timing and stupidity all coming together in his weird

:17:09. > :17:18.characters. All of these were really clever comedians did it very well.

:17:19. > :17:21.In between those shows, you had mother`in`law jokes and racist jokes

:17:22. > :17:26.and all of that seem to be wiped away by the alternative comedians in

:17:27. > :17:35.the 90s and he was part of that revolution. We will now look at this

:17:36. > :17:48.one coming I'm not sure what it is coming I guess they went to a favela

:17:49. > :17:57.before their training session in Brazil? Two things struck me about

:17:58. > :18:03.this. It delivers all the stereotypes of Brazil and as we see

:18:04. > :18:10.it is not changing its image during this World Cup but it also appeals

:18:11. > :18:19.to me as a Scotsman as there are two pages here about England and it

:18:20. > :18:23.doesn't mention 1966. Why would it? England has long got over 1966 and

:18:24. > :18:33.it might be time for us to get over it. We are both tripping over each

:18:34. > :18:39.other to show how much we're going to support over the next few weeks.

:18:40. > :18:45.The obvious question for a man who works for a paper and is supporting

:18:46. > :18:51.the Yes campaign, who will you be supporting for the World Cup?

:18:52. > :19:01.Football and me have no relationship. No relationship. All

:19:02. > :19:06.right. I know you are excited about the whole football story and it

:19:07. > :19:09.concerns you deeply. You stay awake at night again about the games. Are

:19:10. > :19:17.you looking forward to the opening match on Thursday? You will be

:19:18. > :19:22.supporting England quite clearly. I am joking by the way, she hates

:19:23. > :19:32.football. You will be really bored over the next month. So will many

:19:33. > :19:37.people in the country. I might become a glory supporter and start

:19:38. > :19:44.cheering along if they do well but I will probably just do housework. It

:19:45. > :19:53.will be a month of fun and we will see Brazil edges a country we don't

:19:54. > :19:58.know much about `` which is. What I like is that there is no great

:19:59. > :20:06.expectation of England this time. Do us proud just by turning up. We will

:20:07. > :20:16.all be able to get behind them. None of this drumbeating. None of this

:20:17. > :20:33.golden generation rubbish. At least England are there... Thank you to

:20:34. > :20:37.all of you for joining me. Stay with us here on BBC News: At midnight

:20:38. > :20:39.we'll have full details of that Ofsted report into a number of

:20:40. > :20:41.Birmingham schools, and its implications. But coming up next

:20:42. > :20:48.it's time for Sportsday.
