:00:22. > :00:36.Wearing the metaphorical black armband, sorry it have to be
:00:37. > :00:41.tonight. The crisis in Iraq is the main story in the Telegraph, which
:00:42. > :00:49.has an interview with General Petraeus, the former head of the
:00:50. > :01:02.CIA. The Guardian says new rules brought in after the Trojan horse
:01:03. > :01:11.controversy says that it could prevent conservative Muslims running
:01:12. > :01:15.schools. General Petraeus is warning of a terrorist army he believes is a
:01:16. > :01:21.threat to the West, as President Obama says it is going to send in
:01:22. > :01:27.300 special forces advisers. This will be music to the ears of the
:01:28. > :01:32.Republicans, but not the Democrats? That's right. A lot of people are
:01:33. > :01:37.concerned about what is happening. How do we know who are the good guys
:01:38. > :01:44.and the bad guys? Do we want to get involved? What The Telegraph is
:01:45. > :01:48.saying is that many of the major Arab countries all around are saying
:01:49. > :01:57.to America, please don't get involved. The Saudi ambassador to
:01:58. > :02:00.the UK has apparently written in the Telegraph, warning against direct
:02:01. > :02:09.involvement, warning against air strikes and America really's or
:02:10. > :02:12.America and the UK, actually sending troops in, or being involved
:02:13. > :02:16.militarily. They fear it will inflame the situation. After the
:02:17. > :02:20.experiences we have had in the last few years, it's very difficult to
:02:21. > :02:29.know what we can actually do, militarily. That was President Obama
:02:30. > :02:34.was saying, in a country written by sectarianism, the last thing he
:02:35. > :02:37.wants to do is to target one particular group, Sunni Shia. At the
:02:38. > :02:45.moment, they don't have the intelligence to know who they would
:02:46. > :02:49.be aiming at? I'm always wary when Western governments take sides in
:02:50. > :02:52.these sort of things, and then try to impose, once they have gone in in
:02:53. > :02:59.the name of democracy, tell the people in that country who should be
:03:00. > :03:03.in charge. They are talking about military attacks as a last resort.
:03:04. > :03:10.But they are already using words like targeted, precise, they have
:03:11. > :03:16.given this thought already. They say they are military advisers. Does
:03:17. > :03:21.that mean they are troops? In The Guardian they call them troops.
:03:22. > :03:27.Getting them inside the country under a different label? We really
:03:28. > :03:33.don't know. They are talking about not having ground troops. You know,
:03:34. > :03:37.they may not be talking about an invasion again, but these are air
:03:38. > :03:42.strikes. It is an attack, by any other name, and they have to be
:03:43. > :03:47.careful. They will alienate Saudi Arabia and neighbouring countries.
:03:48. > :03:52.General Petraeus makes this point, having said the US must strike
:03:53. > :03:55.particular Iraqis, he is saying, I suspect most Iraqis, despite the
:03:56. > :03:59.desperate situation, would not welcome outside assistance,
:04:00. > :04:04.suggesting they would not be happy to see a return of American combat
:04:05. > :04:08.forces in the country? That is what we have learned over the last few
:04:09. > :04:13.years. Even if we try to help one side or the other, it is inevitable
:04:14. > :04:17.that, in any situation, going in with air strikes, you will be
:04:18. > :04:22.telling some people, inadvertently, who you didn't want to target at
:04:23. > :04:28.all. That leaves the West in a very difficult situation. People,
:04:29. > :04:33.understandably, will see the West as aggressors in some way. They will be
:04:34. > :04:38.trying to defend people. Repeated criticism of Nouri al`Maliki for
:04:39. > :04:42.residing over what many people regard as a very corrupt government.
:04:43. > :04:47.There has not been and inclusive government, they are saying he needs
:04:48. > :04:52.to sort this out for himself, and that does not include foreign
:04:53. > :04:55.intervention? That is right. There is an example that this should be
:04:56. > :05:00.kept as an internal conflict, if you like. That is what you would hope.
:05:01. > :05:03.Let's move on. Staying with the Telegraph, another story on the
:05:04. > :05:09.front page, passport solution, stay here! There is a crisis in the
:05:10. > :05:12.passport office and a backlog of tens of thousands of people waiting
:05:13. > :05:18.to have their passport applications processed. Here, but there minister,
:05:19. > :05:22.Helen Grant, suggesting people should take their summer holiday in
:05:23. > :05:32.Britain. `` tourism Minister. Tell us, who is Helen Grant? Well, it was
:05:33. > :05:41.delivered while she is at the World Cup, in Brazil. So, she has her
:05:42. > :05:46.passport! You can't go abroad, stay at home. We do hear these things
:05:47. > :05:52.quite often, they seem to have that foot in mouth syndrome. If you have
:05:53. > :05:57.booked a holiday, you don't have the option to stay here, you need your
:05:58. > :06:00.passport to go on holiday. It's the summer, didn't anybody see this
:06:01. > :06:04.coming? People might want to go abroad. Surely, there is an upsurge
:06:05. > :06:12.in passport applications? It seems fairly obvious to me. She is risking
:06:13. > :06:19.the Rath of people caught up in the fiasco. ``
:06:20. > :06:27.I would say, what planet are you on? She came in for criticism recently
:06:28. > :06:30.for saying that British girls might want to take up a feminine
:06:31. > :06:35.activities like cheerleading and ballet. I feel sorry for her, they
:06:36. > :06:40.didn't intend for there to be this backlog. They've got to introduce
:06:41. > :06:45.emergency measures. But I don't know, you have to be careful. It's a
:06:46. > :06:50.misunderstanding of the situation and of ordinary people that need a
:06:51. > :06:57.passport. Let's move on to the Daily Mail. England against Uruguay. We
:06:58. > :07:01.had to come to it in the end. It was looking quite positive in the 75th
:07:02. > :07:04.minute, when Wayne Rooney scored the equaliser. Luis Suarez came back
:07:05. > :07:07.minute, when Wayne Rooney scored the equaliser. Luis Suarez came with a
:07:08. > :07:11.second goal. We will probably get in`depth analysis from Clive. It
:07:12. > :07:17.seems too good to be true, and it was? I was so excited when we got
:07:18. > :07:22.that equaliser. I thought, yes, we can do it. Technically, I think
:07:23. > :07:27.there is a chance that we may still survive, but what the Daily Mail is
:07:28. > :07:30.pointing out, worryingly, is that England fans have been attacked
:07:31. > :07:33.ahead of the game. They were worried about them being attacked after the
:07:34. > :07:39.game. Apparently there were some problems even before the game. Fans
:07:40. > :07:44.hospitalised? There have been some arrests, but we don't think any
:07:45. > :07:50.England fans have been arrested? I'm not sure if this was confirmed, but
:07:51. > :07:57.it's quite bizarre, really, the timing of it. Only in our paper, The
:07:58. > :08:03.Times, our correspondent had written a fantastic piece about how great
:08:04. > :08:13.the atmosphere was between fans. The cocoa cabana Beach was standing out
:08:14. > :08:26.as the home of football. Then out of the blue we see that they were
:08:27. > :08:28.attacked by thugs, and England fans have needed treatment after
:08:29. > :08:43.fireworks and Molotov cocktails were thrown into this bar. How might it
:08:44. > :08:47.not be too late? It sounds odd to hope that a team can qualify with
:08:48. > :09:05.just three points, but they will have to to beat Costa Rica. We are
:09:06. > :09:13.going to have to be Italy fans, they can beat them and Uruguay. Anything
:09:14. > :09:28.of that has to happen? A flash of lightning? There is a big statue
:09:29. > :09:38.that looks down over the beach. The reaction on social media was elation
:09:39. > :09:44.to depression, the plane coming back to bring the England team home? For
:09:45. > :09:53.a while, when Wayne Rooney rise to, it looked like only one team was
:09:54. > :09:59.going to win the game. Luis Suarez showed why he is one of the worlds
:10:00. > :10:03.best strikers. And he was injured? He wasn't sure to start. He had
:10:04. > :10:09.surgery just days before start of the tournament. He was a doubt to
:10:10. > :10:15.start. Certainly wasn't expected to last the entire match. It would have
:10:16. > :10:19.been handy if he went off before that. I'm going to get shot down.
:10:20. > :10:23.You can't help thinking that if it was like the Olympics, we had Team
:10:24. > :10:29.GB, rather than England, would we have... Would we be celebrating? I
:10:30. > :10:34.am going to get shot down. I can only think of one other player that
:10:35. > :10:43.might have got into Team GB, that wasn't English, and that is Gareth
:10:44. > :10:47.Bale. Well, he's my hero. Well, I'm a Tottenham supporter, so I still
:10:48. > :10:53.have good memories. One final thing, we will move on, how many more
:10:54. > :10:59.world`class players have the Uruguay team got? If you take Luis Suarez
:11:00. > :11:05.out? Well, you just have to go back to the first game, when he didn't
:11:06. > :11:10.play. The big upset was the 3`1 defeat by Costa Rica, who were meant
:11:11. > :11:14.to be the whipping boys of the group. We kind of hope they reverted
:11:15. > :11:20.to type on Friday and hope that Italy breeze through their remaining
:11:21. > :11:24.games. Let's go back to the Telegraph and have a look at the
:11:25. > :11:29.cartoon. I have to confess, I'm so ashamed of this, I had to have this
:11:30. > :11:32.explained to me. I thought it was something to do... There is a
:11:33. > :11:38.fridge, I thought it was something to do with NPower and electricity
:11:39. > :11:42.bills. Clive was on hand to explain. A man holding his beer mug? I assume
:11:43. > :11:46.he has been watching the football, he might be going to drown his
:11:47. > :11:53.sorrows. His very canny wife has used a spray can to get an exclusion
:11:54. > :11:58.zone around the fridge and him. This is a reference to referees in
:11:59. > :12:03.Brazil, armed with spray cans to mark out and make sure the defensive
:12:04. > :12:14.walls are ten yards away from the ball. I think he has used the beer
:12:15. > :12:16.can? I am kind of hoping so, the spray in Brazil disappears after a
:12:17. > :12:21.few minutes, I hope she hasn't ruined her floor. Miliband shrugs
:12:22. > :12:29.off criticism. Ed Miliband insists she can defy the odds and win next
:12:30. > :12:35.make's general election. Unemployed people would not be in receipt of
:12:36. > :12:39.certain benefits unless they have training, that could almost have
:12:40. > :12:44.come from the coalition? That's right. In the other papers, a view
:12:45. > :12:48.of the Labour bigwigs are saying, we cannot expect to win an election if
:12:49. > :12:53.we are just trying to bash the poor. If we are trying to be tough
:12:54. > :12:57.on welfare than anybody else, they are not sure it is the right
:12:58. > :13:02.approach. What Mr Miliband was saying was, rather than giving
:13:03. > :13:09.people unemployment benefits, let's give them training. Actually, I
:13:10. > :13:12.think that makes sense. If you are just getting money and you haven't
:13:13. > :13:16.got any skills, that is not going to get you a future. But if you are put
:13:17. > :13:24.into some kind of training programme, and you are helped to go
:13:25. > :13:27.back into the labour market, that is fine. One of the worries is that he
:13:28. > :13:31.was talking about means testing. If your parents are well off, you will
:13:32. > :13:38.not get help. If your parents aren't, you will. That creates
:13:39. > :13:42.family tension. Some parents, if the kids are rebelling, they may not
:13:43. > :13:51.want to support them. Is that the answer? If your kids are at home,
:13:52. > :13:56.let your parents make you get a job. They are obviously not leaving the
:13:57. > :13:59.house. They've got no skills, what are they going to do? Let's move on
:14:00. > :14:03.to the business pages of the Telegraph. The story has been in
:14:04. > :14:08.bulletins were very much. Ofgem gets tough on NPower over Alinghi errors.
:14:09. > :14:15.They have been told they have to stop touting for new customers until
:14:16. > :14:19.they sort these problems out. Apparently, one in every four NPower
:14:20. > :14:22.customers are complaining. Bank accounts are being debited with
:14:23. > :14:31.direct debits that other wrong amount. Why don't they leave? It's
:14:32. > :14:38.easy to move? My experience of NPower, it isn't. I used to be one
:14:39. > :14:45.of their customers, and I did what you suggested, it takes ages before
:14:46. > :14:49.you actually start getting connected to another supplier. If you have
:14:50. > :14:56.been wrongly billed, you want the money back? I changed again, not too
:14:57. > :15:00.long ago, before Christmas. I have only just received, and this is not
:15:01. > :15:03.with NPower, I have only just received my first bill. It is not
:15:04. > :15:10.just them, it seems to be the big six. They are saying that customers
:15:11. > :15:20.trying to phone them up are being kept on hold for over an hour, who
:15:21. > :15:27.has time for that? The These watchdogs get a lot of criticism.
:15:28. > :15:34.They are toothless and have no say. Does this sound quite promising to

:15:46. > :15:50.takes notice. It is essential that customers know the regulators are
