13/06/2014 The Papers

and I suspect it will feel quite warm. `` high pressure.

Welcome to our look ahead to the morning papers. This is your

starter. You get the main course later. Thank you very much to you

both for being here tonight. The front pages, then. The crisis in

Iraq is the main story in The Independent. The Telegraph reports

that the SAS may be deployed in the Iraq conflict. The times says the

Ministry of Justice is scrambling to recruit enough prison officers to

deal with the prisoners in Britain's jails. The Daily Mail

claims a big rise in applicants for passports from migrants is

contributing to the problem at the Home Office. Stephen Sutton has been

included in the birthday honours list in the Daily Mirror. And The

Guardian shows the honour awarded to the actress Angelina Jolie. So we

begin with Iraq and we will take a look at the headline from The

Independent. Iran now makes its move. Old enough to remember that

Iran and Iraq spent a long time at war with each other. So peculiar to

read a headline like this. Absolutely. Also some countries were

sucked in and it went on for a long time but it is beginning to look a

bit more `` more and more like that as an analogy. You have Syria

involved, Turkey, now even troops from Iran and advising

al`Maliki government on how to stop this Sunni terror group from

advancing towards Baghdad. It is getting more and more complex and

being more and more difficult for Western powers to judge how they

intervene or whether they should intervene at all. `` becoming more

and more difficult. That is the odd thing, for America to be watching

and thinking, we don't want to send ground

surveillance. But Iran might be the one local power which could help

Iraq out. Exactly. I also remember those pictures of the Iran`Iraq war

from my childhood. I watched John Kerry, the Secretary of State in

America, earlier talking about this. I watched the live news conference.

And he painted a picture which I don't recognise. And he was saying

that they all need to do more to put sectarian differences aside. And he

was talking about the country coming together to fight this Islamic State

of Iraq and this terrorist group. I just get the sense that that is not

what the various members of this country want to do. They want to

advance their own religion or their own version of their religion and

their own power bases, and when I look at the mess being created, one

wonders how much this has to be blamed on foreign policy mistakes of

the past from the West. From a very long time ago. From the very

creation of Iraq, which was always ridden, since its current boundaries

were drawn up, I sectarian tensions? Yes. These were drawn up... It is

the straight lines. Yes. And those have been disregarded as these

countries were created and it looks like Iraq could be at risk of

breaking apart. And there is a terrible irony for the US in the

present scenario because they have been at odds with the Iranian regime

quite forcefully over the past arcade also, and very against

Al`Qaeda. `` past decade or so. So do they intervene or do they let

them get on with it? Very fraught, complex and difficult decisions in

the days ahead. For America, I think. Yes. The Daily Telegraph the

SAS could be sent in to help the Iraqi army. Obama macro considering

air strikes. `` Barack Obama. It seems this group which has carried

out some truly horrifying atrocities, if an atrocity can be

anything but that, they have taken people by surprise with their recent

progress towards Baghdad. I think it is the speed. They are not that far

from Baghdad but also from Turkey, they are 68 miles from the Turkish

border. Turkey is supposed to be one of the friends in the West `` of the

West in the region. It now has the mess of Syria and Iraq on its

borders. In terms of the story of the SAS possibly being sent in, can

I just suggested is overwritten `` suggest it is? You may! Well,

firstly, if they were going to get involved, with The Daily Telegraph

no? The point is, no one knows! And then tucked in there, the Foreign

Secretary "gave no details". That is the clue. And then in 2011, the SAS

advise rebels. So that is despite Cameron saying no boots on the

ground. I am sorry, Richard Spencer, Middle East correspondent, and Peter

Foster in Washington, I think that could be overwritten. But they

grabbed our attention in our review! Let's move on to the Daily Mirror.

And the Queen's birthday honours list being released tonight. And

hero MBE. Here we have on the front of the Daily Mirror a picture of

Stephen Sutton, the teenage fundraiser, who, despite suffering

cancer, raised nearly ?4 million for the Teenage Cancer Trust, and he has

been included in the birthday honours. And this will be welcomed

by so many people. Yes. He captured the imagination of everyone with his

fortitude and activism and his courage in the face of this illness.

And this sort of thing really gives the honours system a good name.

There are a lot of celebrities and people where you think, well, do

they need an honour? They are doing their jobs! And getting paid a lot

to do it! But let's give the an honour anyway `` and honour anyway!

But he also did that before he died as well. I am impressed he raised

money for the Teenage Cancer Trust because if you look at the health

system, it is set up to deal with children and with adults. But where

it often fails is the particular emotional demands of teenagers which

are neither one nor the other. I know the Marston, the cancer

hospital in South London, set up a specific teenage unit because it

recognised the need to take care of teenagers differently than adults.

`` the Marston. Especially those with a life`threatening illness. So

how do we feel, then, about an honorary dame for the actress

Angelina Jolie? For her work on rate as a weapon of war. We have seen her

in London this week repeatedly with William Hague tried to bring our

attention to this. Is this a good thing? She doesn't have to do it,

does she? She uses her celebrity to do something positive and that is

clearly something she feels an emotional attachment to, that also

politicians like to hang out with celebrities. I think William Hague

has enjoyed it. That's the papers for this are. We will be back again

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

Coming up next, it is time for sports day. Welcome to sports day.

Coming up, a World Cup wake`up call. Reigning champions Spain are
