:00:00. > :00:17.and I suspect it will feel quite warm. `` high pressure.

:00:18. > :00:24.Welcome to our look ahead to the morning papers. This is your

:00:25. > :00:30.starter. You get the main course later. Thank you very much to you

:00:31. > :00:35.both for being here tonight. The front pages, then. The crisis in

:00:36. > :00:41.Iraq is the main story in The Independent. The Telegraph reports

:00:42. > :00:46.that the SAS may be deployed in the Iraq conflict. The times says the

:00:47. > :00:50.Ministry of Justice is scrambling to recruit enough prison officers to

:00:51. > :00:53.deal with the prisoners in Britain's jails. The Daily Mail

:00:54. > :00:57.claims a big rise in applicants for passports from migrants is

:00:58. > :01:02.contributing to the problem at the Home Office. Stephen Sutton has been

:01:03. > :01:08.included in the birthday honours list in the Daily Mirror. And The

:01:09. > :01:13.Guardian shows the honour awarded to the actress Angelina Jolie. So we

:01:14. > :01:16.begin with Iraq and we will take a look at the headline from The

:01:17. > :01:26.Independent. Iran now makes its move. Old enough to remember that

:01:27. > :01:35.Iran and Iraq spent a long time at war with each other. So peculiar to

:01:36. > :01:37.read a headline like this. Absolutely. Also some countries were

:01:38. > :01:42.sucked in and it went on for a long time but it is beginning to look a

:01:43. > :01:47.bit more `` more and more like that as an analogy. You have Syria

:01:48. > :01:56.involved, Turkey, now even troops from Iran and advising

:01:57. > :02:00.al`Maliki government on how to stop this Sunni terror group from

:02:01. > :02:00.advancing towards Baghdad. It is getting more and more complex and

:02:01. > :02:06.being more and more difficult for Western powers to judge how they

:02:07. > :02:12.intervene or whether they should intervene at all. `` becoming more

:02:13. > :02:15.and more difficult. That is the odd thing, for America to be watching

:02:16. > :02:22.and thinking, we don't want to send ground

:02:23. > :02:25.surveillance. But Iran might be the one local power which could help

:02:26. > :02:34.Iraq out. Exactly. I also remember those pictures of the Iran`Iraq war

:02:35. > :02:36.from my childhood. I watched John Kerry, the Secretary of State in

:02:37. > :02:40.America, earlier talking about this. I watched the live news conference.

:02:41. > :02:50.And he painted a picture which I don't recognise. And he was saying

:02:51. > :02:54.that they all need to do more to put sectarian differences aside. And he

:02:55. > :03:00.was talking about the country coming together to fight this Islamic State

:03:01. > :03:03.of Iraq and this terrorist group. I just get the sense that that is not

:03:04. > :03:07.what the various members of this country want to do. They want to

:03:08. > :03:11.advance their own religion or their own version of their religion and

:03:12. > :03:18.their own power bases, and when I look at the mess being created, one

:03:19. > :03:23.wonders how much this has to be blamed on foreign policy mistakes of

:03:24. > :03:28.the past from the West. From a very long time ago. From the very

:03:29. > :03:32.creation of Iraq, which was always ridden, since its current boundaries

:03:33. > :03:44.were drawn up, I sectarian tensions? Yes. These were drawn up... It is

:03:45. > :03:47.the straight lines. Yes. And those have been disregarded as these

:03:48. > :03:51.countries were created and it looks like Iraq could be at risk of

:03:52. > :03:55.breaking apart. And there is a terrible irony for the US in the

:03:56. > :03:59.present scenario because they have been at odds with the Iranian regime

:04:00. > :04:07.quite forcefully over the past arcade also, and very against

:04:08. > :04:12.Al`Qaeda. `` past decade or so. So do they intervene or do they let

:04:13. > :04:16.them get on with it? Very fraught, complex and difficult decisions in

:04:17. > :04:21.the days ahead. For America, I think. Yes. The Daily Telegraph the

:04:22. > :04:30.SAS could be sent in to help the Iraqi army. Obama macro considering

:04:31. > :04:37.air strikes. `` Barack Obama. It seems this group which has carried

:04:38. > :04:42.out some truly horrifying atrocities, if an atrocity can be

:04:43. > :04:46.anything but that, they have taken people by surprise with their recent

:04:47. > :04:50.progress towards Baghdad. I think it is the speed. They are not that far

:04:51. > :04:54.from Baghdad but also from Turkey, they are 68 miles from the Turkish

:04:55. > :05:01.border. Turkey is supposed to be one of the friends in the West `` of the

:05:02. > :05:07.West in the region. It now has the mess of Syria and Iraq on its

:05:08. > :05:15.borders. In terms of the story of the SAS possibly being sent in, can

:05:16. > :05:22.I just suggested is overwritten `` suggest it is? You may! Well,

:05:23. > :05:26.firstly, if they were going to get involved, with The Daily Telegraph

:05:27. > :05:32.no? The point is, no one knows! And then tucked in there, the Foreign

:05:33. > :05:40.Secretary "gave no details". That is the clue. And then in 2011, the SAS

:05:41. > :05:45.advise rebels. So that is despite Cameron saying no boots on the

:05:46. > :05:49.ground. I am sorry, Richard Spencer, Middle East correspondent, and Peter

:05:50. > :05:53.Foster in Washington, I think that could be overwritten. But they

:05:54. > :05:58.grabbed our attention in our review! Let's move on to the Daily Mirror.

:05:59. > :06:04.And the Queen's birthday honours list being released tonight. And

:06:05. > :06:09.hero MBE. Here we have on the front of the Daily Mirror a picture of

:06:10. > :06:14.Stephen Sutton, the teenage fundraiser, who, despite suffering

:06:15. > :06:20.cancer, raised nearly ?4 million for the Teenage Cancer Trust, and he has

:06:21. > :06:28.been included in the birthday honours. And this will be welcomed

:06:29. > :06:32.by so many people. Yes. He captured the imagination of everyone with his

:06:33. > :06:37.fortitude and activism and his courage in the face of this illness.

:06:38. > :06:40.And this sort of thing really gives the honours system a good name.

:06:41. > :06:45.There are a lot of celebrities and people where you think, well, do

:06:46. > :06:49.they need an honour? They are doing their jobs! And getting paid a lot

:06:50. > :06:58.to do it! But let's give the an honour anyway `` and honour anyway!

:06:59. > :07:03.But he also did that before he died as well. I am impressed he raised

:07:04. > :07:07.money for the Teenage Cancer Trust because if you look at the health

:07:08. > :07:11.system, it is set up to deal with children and with adults. But where

:07:12. > :07:17.it often fails is the particular emotional demands of teenagers which

:07:18. > :07:21.are neither one nor the other. I know the Marston, the cancer

:07:22. > :07:30.hospital in South London, set up a specific teenage unit because it

:07:31. > :07:33.recognised the need to take care of teenagers differently than adults.

:07:34. > :07:40.`` the Marston. Especially those with a life`threatening illness. So

:07:41. > :07:52.how do we feel, then, about an honorary dame for the actress

:07:53. > :07:57.Angelina Jolie? For her work on rate as a weapon of war. We have seen her

:07:58. > :08:02.in London this week repeatedly with William Hague tried to bring our

:08:03. > :08:19.attention to this. Is this a good thing? She doesn't have to do it,

:08:20. > :08:24.does she? She uses her celebrity to do something positive and that is

:08:25. > :08:28.clearly something she feels an emotional attachment to, that also

:08:29. > :08:35.politicians like to hang out with celebrities. I think William Hague

:08:36. > :08:42.has enjoyed it. That's the papers for this are. We will be back again

:08:43. > :08:46.at 11:25pm with them and the ways for another look at the front pages.

:08:47. > :09:07.Coming up next, it is time for sports day. Welcome to sports day.

:09:08. > :09:09.Coming up, a World Cup wake`up call. Reigning champions Spain are

:09:10. > :09:10.thrashed by the
