Welcome to look ahead to what the papers will be bringing us. Raring

:00:18.:00:30.

to go to night. Good to have you both here. Tomorrow's front pages.

:00:31.:00:36.

The Daily Mail has the jailing of Rolf Harris. The Western mail

:00:37.:00:46.

pictures the disgraced star. The tension was too lenient according to

:00:47.:00:50.

child protection campaigners but notes he could be free in three

:00:51.:00:55.

years. The Independent says a major Tory donor is the favourite take

:00:56.:00:59.

over the schools watchdog the critics say he could face a conflict

:01:00.:01:05.

of interests because he a chain of academies. Statins could be used to

:01:06.:01:10.

prevent breast cancer. The Times says the Prime Minister has secretly

:01:11.:01:13.

agreed to transfer more policing powers to the TEU. Andy Coulson is

:01:14.:01:21.

pictured on the Guardian. He was sentenced 18 months in jail for

:01:22.:01:25.

conspiracy to hack phones. Let's begin with a story that has

:01:26.:01:27.

dominated most of the bulletins today, the sentencing of Rolf

:01:28.:01:34.

Harris, the disgraced entertainer. On the front pages of quite a few

:01:35.:01:41.

papers. The Daily Mail. Smoking is a final insult to his victims. A judge

:01:42.:01:47.

savages him as he shows no remorse. As we look back at what went on in

:01:48.:01:53.

court, singing songs and describing his career, it seems extraordinary.

:01:54.:02:00.

It does. What really stands out for me, if he was smirking in court, is

:02:01.:02:06.

the voice of the victims. I don't want to paraphrase it. One said it

:02:07.:02:13.

made me feel dirty, grubby and disgusting and another said he stole

:02:14.:02:16.

her innocence. That's what we've got to remember. Lives have been

:02:17.:02:23.

damaged. I know we will talk about the sentencing because I think a lot

:02:24.:02:25.

of people were quite shocked at that. We will talk about that in a

:02:26.:02:34.

moment. What has come out when some of them speak, some of them have so

:02:35.:02:44.

wanted to have their story told and believed. The sentence didn't really

:02:45.:02:47.

matter to them, it was being believed publicly and having their

:02:48.:02:52.

day in court. Absolutely. This season that seems to be going on of

:02:53.:02:57.

these trials from the past, if anything good has come out of that

:02:58.:03:01.

it's been the absolute recognition that the victims are not the ones

:03:02.:03:05.

who are the bearers of shame and guilt in anyway. The vast majority

:03:06.:03:12.

of people who've suffered abuse have been ` would not have been abused by

:03:13.:03:17.

household names. Hopefully this could encourage more people to step

:03:18.:03:24.

forward and throw away the last scintilla of stigma. Even though a

:03:25.:03:30.

long time has passed it doesn't mean that it's impossible to secure a

:03:31.:03:36.

conviction. That's what I've been encouraged by. If you commit a crime

:03:37.:03:41.

justice will find you. We will come after you. That's another thing that

:03:42.:03:49.

has stuck with me. Hopefully it is a deterrent as well as providing

:03:50.:03:53.

justice. We've talked about this a lot over many trials. Time seemed to

:03:54.:04:01.

have changed. This is probably leading as nicely into the headline

:04:02.:04:06.

for the Daily Mail. Five years in jail but could he be jailed for

:04:07.:04:10.

longer. A sickening stash of child porn is revealed. Images of child

:04:11.:04:15.

abuse, he will be prosecuted because it's not in the public interest.

:04:16.:04:25.

Because this is an historical set of crimes the law as it stood in those

:04:26.:04:28.

days is what applied. It's not the law that stands today which might

:04:29.:04:36.

account for the sentence. I suppose it shows that people say the world

:04:37.:04:46.

is getting worse, but thanks goodness standards have changed in

:04:47.:04:50.

this case. It says something about the times we were living in. You

:04:51.:04:54.

think about that sentence, five years and nine months. One year plus

:04:55.:05:04.

a month each victim. If he gets out in three years it's less than a

:05:05.:05:09.

year. It's quite shocking and the Attorney General should look at this

:05:10.:05:12.

sentence. It's being referred already. Let's move on to the

:05:13.:05:20.

Independent. It's one of the few papers that does not have Rolf

:05:21.:05:26.

Harris on its front page. It has the hacking corporate. This is the

:05:27.:05:35.

sentencing. Andy Coulson got 18 months. That's their main picture

:05:36.:05:41.

story. The main story on the Independent is an outcry as a Tory

:05:42.:05:47.

donor is put in charge of Ofsted. David Ross has made a lot of money

:05:48.:05:50.

through his carphone warehouse business. Donating money to the

:05:51.:05:55.

Conservatives. He might be up for the job, we don't know for certain.

:05:56.:06:02.

It is very interesting. One of the rationales is that they were the can

:06:03.:06:06.

for somebody with great business experience. It shows what an

:06:07.:06:20.

inspector would be looking for. Michael Gove seems to be producing

:06:21.:06:27.

no end of sensations and discussions wherever he goes. It's a shocker of

:06:28.:06:33.

a story. We're talking about standards in our children's

:06:34.:06:37.

education. Who do you have chairing it, and entrepreneur. What is their

:06:38.:06:43.

experience level? There's a clear conflict of interest if he gets this

:06:44.:06:50.

job because he has helped fund 25 academies. What happens when Ofsted

:06:51.:06:54.

goes into one his academies. Do they get an outstanding straightaway?

:06:55.:07:01.

Timmy lowers the role of Ofsted. It's not a political football. ` to

:07:02.:07:10.

me it lowers. Impartiality. This is a statement in one of the newspaper

:07:11.:07:16.

articles. The recruitment process for the new chair of Ofsted is

:07:17.:07:21.

ongoing. And in the Linacre independent panel will decide who

:07:22.:07:25.

was short listed. They will recommend to ministers a list of

:07:26.:07:29.

suitable candidates. There are quite a few hurdles and articles like this

:07:30.:07:35.

may make them think twice. Absolutely. This article points out

:07:36.:07:39.

that there is the possibility of more coalition rapture and is. `

:07:40.:07:51.

ruptures. You do wonder. If this gentleman has a passion for the

:07:52.:07:58.

role. Passion is not enough. We need the right person. I remember the

:07:59.:08:02.

last time I was on here we were talking about children's reading

:08:03.:08:08.

levels. We are on a real trajectory. We need the right

:08:09.:08:13.

person. I wonder why a multimillionaire would choose to

:08:14.:08:17.

jump into this massive stew of hot potatoes. A move to tighten terror

:08:18.:08:30.

laws in light of the Lee Rigby killing. Civil liberties groups are

:08:31.:08:34.

concerned over a report that next week might be used to press for

:08:35.:08:37.

emergency anti`terrorist legislation. The article suggests

:08:38.:08:43.

that it could take emergency legislation to prevent potential

:08:44.:08:47.

extremists from travelling to Syria and surely this is about the

:08:48.:08:50.

surveillance of people when they are back here in a country rather than

:08:51.:08:53.

stopping them from going to Syria in the first place. It's not clear what

:08:54.:09:05.

they it was a terrible murder. They might be using that to think about

:09:06.:09:09.

putting in emergency legislation. I don't think it's the right thing to

:09:10.:09:16.

do. There's a lot more grassroots work that can be done. Once you

:09:17.:09:23.

start where do you stop? We always talk about UK Muslims. We are

:09:24.:09:28.

talking about a huge range of people from a huge range of cultural

:09:29.:09:32.

backgrounds and national backgrounds. We need to be careful.

:09:33.:09:39.

It has to be done sensitively. Following the murder of Lee would

:09:40.:09:45.

there were concerns that the security services had lost sight of

:09:46.:09:52.

the two men. That is mentioned here. Is it a failure of surveillance and

:09:53.:09:56.

they weren't able to do that or is it because they weren't able to keep

:09:57.:10:03.

track of people? Will we bring in restrictions on Civil Liberties to

:10:04.:10:08.

deal with a bureaucratic mess up? How many people do you keep track

:10:09.:10:17.

of? You have to keep track of so many people. I've been to Syria.

:10:18.:10:23.

Would I have come back... With people have been watching me. You

:10:24.:10:28.

may be under surveillance. Perhaps you wouldn't know it. Whether you

:10:29.:10:35.

stop? I don't mind being under surveillance if it is to eliminate

:10:36.:10:40.

me from a list. I think it's a dangerous road to go down. If they

:10:41.:10:45.

do go down it a lot of thought needs to go into at. No emergency powers?

:10:46.:11:01.

The level of debate within Islam at the moment compares to Reformation

:11:02.:11:12.

Europe, dozens of groups, nations, that will not be tackled simply by

:11:13.:11:17.

an attack. Let's look at the Daily Mirror. They are saying that statins

:11:18.:11:24.

could invent breast cancer. Women with high cholesterol are at

:11:25.:11:27.

greatest risk of the disease. Here they are on the front of the Mirror.

:11:28.:11:32.

We don't know we huge amount about the study. It seems that statins can

:11:33.:11:38.

do so many wonderful things. They can. But I am a person who will go

:11:39.:11:43.

for natural options myself, rather than take drugs. I would worry about

:11:44.:11:47.

side effects. Sometimes there might be side effects and they are still

:11:48.:11:52.

not quite sure what the results would be, in terms of helping women

:11:53.:11:57.

with breast cancer. Sure, it can help with cholesterol levels, but

:11:58.:12:02.

what does that mean? More research needs to be done. Often, we jump on

:12:03.:12:07.

these things and it is years from a cure. It is. It is fascinating to

:12:08.:12:13.

see health on the front pages. On a crowded news agenda, a story like

:12:14.:12:19.

this cuts through to relatives and family and you think... Very

:12:20.:12:25.

quickly, we will look at the Daily Telegraph. There is a commentator

:12:26.:12:30.

speaking to the camera. Judging by their tiny waistlines, it

:12:31.:12:48.

could not be any of them. That visit for the Papers this hour. We will be

:12:49.:13:02.

back at 25 past 11. Stay with us on BBC News. At 11pm, disgraced

:13:03.:13:07.

entertainer Rolf Harris is beginning his sentence. Coming up next, sports

:13:08.:13:11.

day. Hello and welcome to Sportsday ` I'm

:13:12.:13:23.

James Pearce. Will the party continued? Can Brazil

:13:24.:13:37.

hold off for a place in the semifinals? Germany beat France. The

:13:38.:13:46.

old guard
