:00:00. > :00:00.head into the weekend. More on the prospects for the weekend where you
:00:00. > :00:20.live on the website. Hello and welcome to our look at
:00:21. > :00:25.what the papers will bring us tomorrow. Michael Booker is the
:00:26. > :00:31.deputy editor at the Daily Express and so Mira Shackle, freelance
:00:32. > :00:36.editor. Let's have a look. The Times reports militants had for the Iraq
:00:37. > :00:42.capital of Baghdad. The Metro leads on the online abuse that the Harry
:00:43. > :00:44.Potter author, J K Rowling, received after making a ?1 million donation
:00:45. > :00:49.to the campaign against Scottish independence. The Mirror shows the
:00:50. > :00:54.pitch on which England will play for the first World Cup match against
:00:55. > :00:57.Italy on Saturday. The Guardian claims passport office staff have
:00:58. > :01:02.been told to relax the rules to help clear the backlog of applications.
:01:03. > :01:08.Passports are the lead of the Daily Mail. The PM claims there is no
:01:09. > :01:13.crisis at the office. Black cab drivers protest eight taxi hailing
:01:14. > :01:19.app, on the front of the Financial Times. The i reports on a record
:01:20. > :01:25.boost to the job market, as figures show the number of people in work
:01:26. > :01:29.has grown by 350,000. The express says walking 6000 steps per day
:01:30. > :01:31.could reduce the pain of arthritis `` the Daily Express. It would
:01:32. > :01:37.increase the chances of not getting the condition. We will begin with
:01:38. > :01:45.the times and the situation in Iraq. Islamic insurgents push
:01:46. > :01:49.Baghdad to the brink. It looks as if the security forces, after billions
:01:50. > :01:54.was pumped into the training of the Iraq army and the police, and
:01:55. > :01:58.allowing the suggestion that it made sense in some people's mind for
:01:59. > :02:05.Western forces to pull out, it seems to have been a waste of money. The
:02:06. > :02:10.fact that the security forces abandoned their post, didn't fight
:02:11. > :02:13.against the militants, a report suggests that 30,000 troops ran away
:02:14. > :02:18.in the face of 800 militants. It undermines the US claim to have
:02:19. > :02:33.created a unified, well`trained, strong Iraq army. It is a dire
:02:34. > :02:36.situation. It demonstrates how long he remained responsible for when you
:02:37. > :02:44.invade a country or take part in an occupation. So many things are set
:02:45. > :02:50.in motion that cannot be predicted. Americans were trying to sort out a
:02:51. > :02:54.military agreement with the Iraqis in 2011 that would have allowed a
:02:55. > :02:58.small contingent of US forces to remain in the country. We couldn't
:02:59. > :03:04.work out the details. Barack Obama had the public saying, get out of
:03:05. > :03:09.there. Nouri Maliki said, we don't want you here anyway and now this
:03:10. > :03:13.could be the result of that impasse. Nouri Maliki himself, David Cameron
:03:14. > :03:16.said that he hasn't acted quick enough. We can see that he is
:03:17. > :03:21.focusing on him being the problem and Iraqis being the problem. There
:03:22. > :03:26.has been 11 years of fighting in the country. You can understand the
:03:27. > :03:31.bloodthirsty mob. People don't want to fight any more. There is talk in
:03:32. > :03:36.one story about how there was a phone call to an oil refinery. They
:03:37. > :03:40.said, lay down your arms or fight to the death. I know what I would do in
:03:41. > :03:45.that situation. I would run a mile as well. You have got to put
:03:46. > :03:53.yourself in their position. This Isis group, it is the speed of this
:03:54. > :03:58.that is apparent, these cities, towns, oil refineries are going
:03:59. > :04:07.down. They have come from Syria. Should we have then got involved in
:04:08. > :04:10.Syria? If we had, would it have stopped this problem or would there
:04:11. > :04:13.be another Al Qaeda affiliate popping up, another head from the
:04:14. > :04:18.hydra that would have done this anyway. It begs those questions,
:04:19. > :04:22.should we have got involved? We didn't want to get involved. That
:04:23. > :04:25.was due to public opinion. We don't want to get involved here either.
:04:26. > :04:32.Let's hope there is more resistance from American troops who are there.
:04:33. > :04:35.Towards the end of this story in Kirkuk, it seems as though security
:04:36. > :04:40.forces are putting up a fight. Maybe it has caught them by surprise. Now
:04:41. > :04:46.that they have... They have organised themselves, there could be
:04:47. > :04:52.more resistance. Let's move on to the Daily Mail. Kamran, what
:04:53. > :05:03.passport crisis? Angry families face ruin Summers, the PM is response ``
:05:04. > :05:06.VPN's response. The government has taken action apparently, 250 staff
:05:07. > :05:11.on the frontline, the passport frontline, they have been deployed.
:05:12. > :05:16.Geoffrey Robinson is quoted, saying, we are told all is well but staff
:05:17. > :05:20.are working 17 hour days and paid ?70 per hour overtime for the job of
:05:21. > :05:25.sticking labels on with names and addresses. If this is not a crisis
:05:26. > :05:29.of management, I don't know what is. Party politically, they are stirring
:05:30. > :05:32.it up. It seems as though people are not getting their passports. They
:05:33. > :05:36.are waiting for weeks, driving hundreds of miles to get to passport
:05:37. > :05:42.offices and getting them in person. It is a big problem. There is a
:05:43. > :05:44.story in the Daily Telegraph, where there was a meeting of high
:05:45. > :05:49.commissioners and ambassadors, a great meeting to be out, and they
:05:50. > :05:51.say that it isn't because there are hundreds out thousands more
:05:52. > :05:59.applications but because they have class overseas passport centres. ``
:06:00. > :06:02.they have shut. Was that just spend? David Cameron saying that because
:06:03. > :06:05.the economy has improved, people have more money so there are more
:06:06. > :06:24.applications for passports. It is a roundabout excuse.
:06:25. > :06:28.It was acknowledged that changes to the rules about overseas passport
:06:29. > :06:35.applications was going to create a huge backlog. It is a situation for
:06:36. > :06:41.the government, you are dammed if you do and then if you do not. There
:06:42. > :06:46.are huge amounts of anger about passports being delayed and not
:06:47. > :06:52.being able to get them in time. On the other hand, if the Home Office
:06:53. > :07:00.start relaxing checks to speed up the process, that is also a scandal
:07:01. > :07:07.in its self. People do not want to feel that it is less secure or
:07:08. > :07:14.reliable. As you were suggesting, the Labour Party and opposition
:07:15. > :07:18.benches are having a field day. There is a statement, this is a
:07:19. > :07:26.seriously chaotic and the government is in denial about the extent of the
:07:27. > :07:37.crisis. David Cameron is suggesting there is no crisis. It is a good
:07:38. > :07:41.front`page story. But the Home Office has already put out a
:07:42. > :07:47.statement saying it is nonsense. Are they saying it is nonsense or that
:07:48. > :07:53.they were not aware? They are not aware, but they have stamped on it.
:07:54. > :08:10.That is what they would like as to believe. It is a simple effort to
:08:11. > :08:17.reduce the backlog. Cos signatories as well as requirements for
:08:18. > :08:25.evidence. The sources say it could leave it to talk criminals and
:08:26. > :08:29.fraudsters. We were very worried about our leaking borders and if
:08:30. > :08:35.passports at being made easier for people who are fraudsters. It is
:08:36. > :08:40.clearly very worrying. Just to reiterate, they have told the
:08:41. > :09:05.passport office to withdraw it immediately. The Herald. JK Rowling
:09:06. > :09:14.attacks call to end online bile. She is receiving stick online for her
:09:15. > :09:20.donation. `` attracts. This story features not just the attacks on JK
:09:21. > :09:26.Rowling, but calls for figures in Scotland to stop these sorts of
:09:27. > :09:31.attacks on people who dared to voice an opinion on the referendum. That
:09:32. > :09:37.is actually something that is heated. That is a good thing to call
:09:38. > :09:45.for. People are entitled to have an opinion, JK Rowling has made no
:09:46. > :09:51.secret of being a donated. I think it is very corrosive if you have a
:09:52. > :09:57.situation where people are afraid to say one way or another what they
:09:58. > :10:04.think. That tenders the public debate. `` tenders.
:10:05. > :10:13.It is getting nasty now. It is, but it goes wider than this issue. Any
:10:14. > :10:19.issue that seems to get people excited also ends up with people
:10:20. > :10:24.going online, sending these messages to people, unnecessary messages. It
:10:25. > :10:31.could just be a general message to everyone. People getting on their
:10:32. > :10:36.computers and firing out the nasty as the thing that comes into their
:10:37. > :10:41.minds. There is no justification for this. Give it a rest. Yet on the
:10:42. > :10:53.doorsteps and offshore computers. That is a good idea. `` get on your
:10:54. > :11:01.doorsteps and off your. Let us go to the i. A good, positive headline for
:11:02. > :11:10.the i. The number of people in work leaps. But there is a sting in the
:11:11. > :11:16.tail. Wages are below inflation. People are going into short`term
:11:17. > :11:18.work, part`time work. People are leaving jobseekers allowance and are
:11:19. > :11:26.trying to get as much work as they possibly can. But it is very
:11:27. > :11:35.low`paid. The cost of living, it is the sort of thing the Labour Party
:11:36. > :11:40.keep banging away at. In fact, in the figures released today, the
:11:41. > :11:45.suggestion is that wage rises are not going up as fast as they were. I
:11:46. > :11:53.did not think wages were going up at all. That is the thing. We could go
:11:54. > :11:58.into the next election where there is a situation where there is a
:11:59. > :12:00.booming jobs market, but it is a funny kind of recovery where the
:12:01. > :12:06.numbers are good but people do not feel the difference. Something I was
:12:07. > :12:11.struck by was the office of budget responsibility saying that it will
:12:12. > :12:20.be 2018 before wages return to where they were at. That is still a long
:12:21. > :12:24.way off. That is the one bit of light for the Labour Party. They can
:12:25. > :12:30.hammer away at the cost of living prices. People might get bored of
:12:31. > :12:33.it, but because the coalition seemed to have done well with the economy,
:12:34. > :12:40.this is one part they have not managed to crack. The headline is
:12:41. > :12:44.the record boost to the UK jobs market.
:12:45. > :12:50.Onto the Express. Daily walk to stop the writers. That is your front
:12:51. > :12:57.page. `` arthritis. It affects millions of people across the world.
:12:58. > :13:04.It costs the NHS various things. Any replacement is ?5.2 billion every
:13:05. > :13:11.single year. `` a knee. We are supposed to get 10,000 steps per
:13:12. > :13:17.day. 1000 steps is a brisk walk. It is something that can be done by
:13:18. > :13:24.anyone. The study has found that problems have been slashed by 20%
:13:25. > :13:33.with just an extra 1000 steps. You can understand how people would
:13:34. > :13:37.think, maybe I should not move around as much. You would get that
:13:38. > :13:44.impression. It apparently if you keep walking around, the mobility
:13:45. > :13:51.does improve. Hopefully it will change lives. On to the Daily
:13:52. > :13:59.Mirror. I know you are excited about this. This is the picture on the
:14:00. > :14:03.front, the pitch that England are going to play on against England.
:14:04. > :14:12.This is what happens when you put too much manual on the grass. ``

:14:19. > :14:28.It will start and everyone will forget about it. All of the great
