:00:19. > :00:28.Welcome to look ahead at what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow.

:00:29. > :00:33.Welcome to my guests. Tomorrow's front pages. Starting with the

:00:34. > :00:39.Telegraph. The crisis in Iraq is the main story. It has an interview with

:00:40. > :00:45.the former head of the CIA. The government claims new rules

:00:46. > :00:47.introduced could prevent conservative Muslims from being

:00:48. > :00:51.trustees of schools. The Financial Times says new IT

:00:52. > :00:55.systems have brought some departments in Whitehall to a

:00:56. > :00:58.virtual standstill. Faces painted with the expressions

:00:59. > :01:04.of the English bands on the front of the Times. Glum, after their key

:01:05. > :01:08.World Cup game loss. Luis Suarez console in his good

:01:09. > :01:13.friend, the England captain Steven Gerard, by ruffling his hair.

:01:14. > :01:17.The Mail reports on a sharp rise in the cancers caused by lifestyle

:01:18. > :01:23.choices like smoking and sunbaking. The Express offers some hope in the

:01:24. > :01:27.fight against cancer and says vegetables like carrots could be the

:01:28. > :01:33.key. The Times first and its coverage of

:01:34. > :01:37.the Iraq story. Just checking that I am on the same page as everybody

:01:38. > :01:42.else. Of course we have been hearing from President Obama today, talking

:01:43. > :01:51.about what kind of commitment the Americans can make Iraq, given this

:01:52. > :01:55.march by the Sunni insurgents, ISIS. Special forces head for Baghdad as

:01:56. > :02:00.US targets military action. That suggests it's a little more imminent

:02:01. > :02:09.and the president said. He said, should the time the right? Now he is

:02:10. > :02:16.talking in terms such as targeting and precise military action. While

:02:17. > :02:23.at the same time insisting that ground action is completely out of

:02:24. > :02:29.the question. It still smacks of the West going on and intervening and

:02:30. > :02:35.possibly causing more friction. Difficult when Iraq asks you for

:02:36. > :02:38.airstrikes, isn't it? It is but then the Iraqi government itself is going

:02:39. > :02:42.to ask for any help it can, when it is facing some kind of civil

:02:43. > :02:47.uprising. Problem is that we don't really know what the implications

:02:48. > :02:53.are if we do go in, because we have had such bad experiences in the

:02:54. > :02:59.past. America we built and trained the Iraqi army. `` rebuilt. It

:03:00. > :03:06.disbanded the whole thing and started training them in 2003. In

:03:07. > :03:09.2011 the US pulled out. Now we are seeing the whole situation falling

:03:10. > :03:14.apart. And they don't quite know how to handle it. I think the idea is

:03:15. > :03:22.they are sending in military advisers, which seems... 300 of

:03:23. > :03:29.them. A little bit like some ground force, to assess what targets to

:03:30. > :03:31.strike, if they are going to strike. But many Arab countries are calling

:03:32. > :03:37.for them not to get involved militarily. The military leaders in

:03:38. > :03:42.America feel they are in the dark about this and they don't know who

:03:43. > :03:47.they will be striking. It's not as if the ISIS fighters where uniform.

:03:48. > :03:53.Exactly and that's half the problem, determining who the bad guys are in

:03:54. > :04:02.this situation. Also, in aggravating the situation with neighbouring

:04:03. > :04:06.countries, because, as you say, Saudi Arabia has already warned

:04:07. > :04:14.against any intervention from the West. They are worried it will

:04:15. > :04:19.inflame the situation even more. It is one of these awful situations.

:04:20. > :04:25.Your natural instinct is to say, you want to help, you want to stop this.

:04:26. > :04:30.But maybe the main aim is to at least stop the advance of ISIS. At

:04:31. > :04:35.the moment they are just cutting a swathe through lots of areas, which

:04:36. > :04:38.is very scary. Very different pressures on Barack Obama from the

:04:39. > :04:51.Democrats and Republicans and also little appetite from other

:04:52. > :04:56.countries. After the promise of no more ground action, they really

:04:57. > :05:04.don't want to see them go any further. But it is difficult, as you

:05:05. > :05:05.say. The problem with that is with airstrikes there's the problem with

:05:06. > :05:25.the S `` with innocent victims. Michael Gove's rules could prevent

:05:26. > :05:28.conservative Muslim being trustees of schools. Community leaders are

:05:29. > :05:32.warning that some Watson's would effectively be part of becoming

:05:33. > :05:38.trustees or governors. Is that what they want to see, really? This is in

:05:39. > :05:41.the light of the Trojan horse controversy as it is being called,

:05:42. > :05:45.with quite conservative Muslim is having an impact in the way schools

:05:46. > :05:49.are run in Birmingham. I must admit that I don't know if I'm missing

:05:50. > :05:53.something here, but what he seems to be saying is that we want to make

:05:54. > :05:58.sure that people who are governors of schools do are by high what he

:05:59. > :06:02.calls fundamental British values. I think the word fundamental is

:06:03. > :06:08.perhaps a bit unfortunate. At the actual issues that he talks about,

:06:09. > :06:13.respect for democracy, the law, equality, tolerance of other faith,

:06:14. > :06:16.mutual respect, community service, you would have thought that surely

:06:17. > :06:25.governors of schools should have those very values. And if somebody

:06:26. > :06:30.doesn't have those values, should we be concerned about the education

:06:31. > :06:33.provided in that school? I'm not sure that they are fundamentally

:06:34. > :06:39.reddish as opposed to fundamentally values of anywhere. It is difficult

:06:40. > :06:42.to know what the problem is. Maybe they are worried that people will

:06:43. > :06:47.interpret these in ways that might be prejudiced against certain

:06:48. > :06:49.groups. I would have thought that if people can't sign up to these basic

:06:50. > :07:25.values. bar to Muslims becoming governors.

:07:26. > :07:29.They want a diverse range of people from all faiths to serve in

:07:30. > :07:32.governing bodies. It is right that we prevent unsuitable people from

:07:33. > :07:38.becoming governors. We believe any behaviour which undermined

:07:39. > :07:42.democracy, the rule of law, respect and tolerance is incompatible with

:07:43. > :07:47.being a governor in a state funded school in England. As you say, that

:07:48. > :07:50.seems fairly self explanatory. I would have thought that most Muslims

:07:51. > :07:57.would sign up for that. Leeds if you were setting those values, what sort

:07:58. > :08:02.of people are setting those values? But you can't argue with those, can

:08:03. > :08:05.you? Leeds as you say, that seems fairly straightforward `` as you

:08:06. > :08:11.say, that seems fairly straightforward. What is different?

:08:12. > :08:15.A senior member of the Muslim Council of Britain says that as a

:08:16. > :08:19.matter of principle to have so much power in this that in one hand is

:08:20. > :08:23.wrong. To have so much power in any area is dangerous. He suggests there

:08:24. > :08:28.needs to be a balance, a governing body in every school. But OFSTED

:08:29. > :08:37.have to go and check whether this is happening. And where would they not

:08:38. > :08:42.be a consensus? I'm not sure. Maybe we are missing something. May it

:08:43. > :08:49.continues on page two? Moving on to the Telegraph. Ministers' passport

:08:50. > :08:54.solution. Families should think about taking their summer holidays

:08:55. > :08:58.in Britain in the wake of crises at the passport office. This is the

:08:59. > :09:03.suggestion from the tourism Minister Helen Grant who was speaking while

:09:04. > :09:07.in Brazil. Lucky her. And she is planning a holiday in Spain. So she

:09:08. > :09:20.has no issues with her passport. This really gets people's backed up.

:09:21. > :09:24.It really does. The tourism minister saying why don't you stay at home?

:09:25. > :09:28.That is not the point. The point is that if you have walked a holiday,

:09:29. > :09:34.you can't go. If you haven't booked a holiday abroad, you probably won't

:09:35. > :09:36.be worried. `` booked a holiday. So people have already decided they

:09:37. > :09:42.want to travel, and they can't. That is the problem. It is a classic

:09:43. > :09:52.mouth before rain, note thought there at all `` mouth before brain.

:09:53. > :09:56.It is true that you can have great holidays in Britain, but if you need

:09:57. > :10:04.a passport... You have already bought the holiday and you want to

:10:05. > :10:07.go. And disability benefits. This is not the support allowance we have

:10:08. > :10:10.been talking about all day, this is a different one. This is the

:10:11. > :10:16.personal independence payment which is paid to people with disabilities

:10:17. > :10:20.to help them live independently. And replaces the previous allowance,

:10:21. > :10:23.which was the Disability Living Allowance. Apparently it is taking

:10:24. > :10:27.months for people to have a decision made on their claim. It is causing

:10:28. > :10:31.huge amounts of distress in the process. The Independent revealed

:10:32. > :10:35.that some claimants have been forced to turn to food banks, apply for

:10:36. > :10:39.loans, or rely on charity to survive. Which on top of everything,

:10:40. > :10:46.you actually have to put up with in that position, it is an

:10:47. > :10:50.incredible... Another example of a very hardhearted attitude. In the

:10:51. > :10:54.way that things are being carried out. But the number of things

:10:55. > :11:01.involved in the systems which will have to change, yes, there are

:11:02. > :11:04.people at the heart of this who are struggling. These reforms are never

:11:05. > :11:09.quick, are they? They are always slow and cumbersome and fraught with

:11:10. > :11:12.difficulties. And we have such a complex benefits system, that any

:11:13. > :11:16.change you make to it throws up all kinds of goblins. You have to feel

:11:17. > :11:20.for people who are already disabled, particularly ill, and being told

:11:21. > :11:32.they have to wait six months. Terminally ill people having to

:11:33. > :11:41.wait. `` all kinds of problems. The medical assessments are being done

:11:42. > :11:44.by another body. I imagine DWP was working hard to try and improve it

:11:45. > :11:49.or not but it seems to be taking time. A sharp rise in cancers caused

:11:50. > :11:59.by lifestyle. The usual suspects, alcohol, obesity, sunbaking, it is

:12:00. > :12:03.up to us to prevent this. I saw this at first, and I don't want to make

:12:04. > :12:13.light of cancer, but it strikes me that unhealthy lifestyle will cause

:12:14. > :12:18.you to become ill. Drinking, smoking... It is the fact that it is

:12:19. > :12:22.only increase. We are at figures which should go down and down. But

:12:23. > :12:27.how do we do this? We see with cigarettes that all sorts of efforts

:12:28. > :12:31.are being made over marketing, which don't always work. Do we need to do

:12:32. > :12:34.the same with alcohol and poor quality food? It sounds as if a

:12:35. > :12:48.thing is becoming a problem. Liver cancer is up a 66%. Overall cancers

:12:49. > :12:52.are up by 27% over ten year period. Interestingly, the North has a

:12:53. > :13:03.higher incidence of cancer. There was talk yesterday about refusing

:13:04. > :13:08.people treatment in A if they are drunk. All of this has invitations

:13:09. > :13:13.for the NHS and what it can do. But there is only so much you can do.

:13:14. > :13:24.The incidence of skin cancer increased by 61%. That is going on

:13:25. > :13:29.holidays in hot countries. So we should stay at home in the rain.

:13:30. > :13:33.Looking at the Daily Express. Carrots can fight cancer. The danger

:13:34. > :13:37.is that we talk about cancer as though it is one disease and of

:13:38. > :13:41.course it is many different sorts. The argument here is that there are

:13:42. > :13:45.natural compounds in carrots that protect it from attack by pestilent

:13:46. > :13:53.diseases, and if we could harness that, it seems, maybe it would help

:13:54. > :14:05.us. It seems that these cures are a long way off. They hope that these

:14:06. > :14:10.polyester `` chemicals in carrots which protect the carrot itself from

:14:11. > :14:16.attack, could be used to prevent attacks from cancer type diseases in

:14:17. > :14:21.humans. So let us all eat celeriac. I like those vegetables. It says

:14:22. > :14:24.they are going to recruit schools of volunteers to participate in a

:14:25. > :14:30.dietary trial. If you don't like carrots at the beginning, you might

:14:31. > :14:38.at the end. Let us look at a miniature carousel of things. A

:14:39. > :14:46.patronising ruffle of the hair by Luis Suarez. The Sun says we are

:14:47. > :14:55.through, but there is a huge caveat. It says that if Italy beat Costa

:14:56. > :15:01.Rica, and then we score against Costa Rica, we will be through.

:15:02. > :15:09.Finally, the Times. Game over, it asks. How might they still make it

:15:10. > :15:15.through? Leeds amazingly, if there is a chance that if they beat Costa

:15:16. > :15:20.Rica, it seems a bit mad to suggest that the team could win just one

:15:21. > :15:25.game and get through, but England must beat Costa Rica, and then we

:15:26. > :15:29.will all be cheering on Friday that Italy do indeed beat Costa Rica and

:15:30. > :15:35.that the Italians are much better at keeping Luis Suarez quiet than

:15:36. > :15:39.England were tonight. Basically, Italy must go through with maximum

:15:40. > :15:46.points, and England must hope that they beat Costa Rica by a handful of

:15:47. > :15:50.goals. It's possible. It is possible. We have to hope. We can't

:15:51. > :15:56.possibly give up now. If there is still a chance, we have to believe.

:15:57. > :16:03.It is time for all England fans to start praying. Towards Christ the

:16:04. > :16:08.Redeemer. They have paid a lot of money to get there. We will wait and

:16:09. > :16:23.see. We can only hope. We are all behind them. Thank you both, it is

:16:24. > :16:24.time for World Cup
