and Ashley Cole has signed for Roma. The defender has signed a two`year | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
deal. That is coming up in 15 minutes. | :00:00. | :00:13. | |
Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers | :00:14. | :00:16. | |
With me are Beth Rigby, Deputy Political Editor of the Financial | :00:17. | :00:20. | |
Times and John Kampfner, Director of the Creative Industries Federation. | :00:21. | :00:27. | |
Let us look. The Guardian is leading with the story that the Home | :00:28. | :00:34. | |
Secretary has announced two different enquiries into historic | :00:35. | :00:37. | |
child abuse. Relating to the same story, the Daily Mail claims at the | :00:38. | :00:42. | |
Home Office gave money to groups linked to paedophiles. The Daily | :00:43. | :00:46. | |
Telegraph is leading with the airport security story. You will not | :00:47. | :00:50. | |
fly if your phone is flat. It also has a picture from the tour France | :00:51. | :00:56. | |
and finished in London. And the daily express describes a major | :00:57. | :01:02. | |
breakthrough in the fight on Alzheimer 's with a simple blood | :01:03. | :01:10. | |
test. The Guardian, the child abuse enquiry will take on the | :01:11. | :01:12. | |
establishment. Ever since the lid was lifted on what Jimmy Savile was | :01:13. | :01:18. | |
getting up to, so many more people have come forward and the whole of | :01:19. | :01:23. | |
British society seems to have been roped into this and the government | :01:24. | :01:28. | |
is acting? As you say, there are two different enquiries announced, the | :01:29. | :01:36. | |
first is a powerful public enquiry into how complaints of sexual abuse | :01:37. | :01:42. | |
were treated in all public buddies over several decades. The genie is | :01:43. | :01:48. | |
out of the bottle and you cannot put it back. This will run and run. | :01:49. | :01:55. | |
There is a second specific enquiry about the Home Office reviewing | :01:56. | :02:01. | |
allegations of child abuse between 1979 and 1999 but the first one has | :02:02. | :02:06. | |
the potential to be an extremely long`running story. They have | :02:07. | :02:11. | |
decided to begin to cover this. It is hard to imagine what else they | :02:12. | :02:17. | |
will find but as we have seen, in terms of people and personalities in | :02:18. | :02:23. | |
the media, these stories, they just run because people come forward and | :02:24. | :02:28. | |
when there is any accountability like this, people who have been | :02:29. | :02:32. | |
victims and have been silent for decades, they feel that they can | :02:33. | :02:37. | |
come out and their voice will be heard. There was a very interesting | :02:38. | :02:44. | |
story that the BBC uncovered, there was that documentary where that | :02:45. | :02:50. | |
one`time wet from the Tory party was interviewed and he said that they | :02:51. | :02:56. | |
would cover it up all sorts of scandals, talking about the 1970s, | :02:57. | :03:01. | |
and he said it might be dead or a scandal involving small boys, any | :03:02. | :03:07. | |
sign of scandal, we would store up Ronnie points and if we could get | :03:08. | :03:11. | |
someone out of trouble, we would. They called it the dirt book. And | :03:12. | :03:17. | |
this was broadcast in 1985? There was no Ferrari about the reference | :03:18. | :03:24. | |
to little boys. `` fraud. Just the existence of this dirt book, and it | :03:25. | :03:31. | |
is quite amazing to cast your mind back to the 1980s and 1990s and | :03:32. | :03:35. | |
think about what society was like, and we really live in a society | :03:36. | :03:40. | |
where alleged child abuse was accepted? My prediction for what it | :03:41. | :03:48. | |
is worth, and based on a hunch, but I think we're going to see a very | :03:49. | :03:55. | |
broad swathe of public life, former MPs and members of the Lords, | :03:56. | :04:02. | |
judges, who knows, an entire swathe of the British establishment in the | :04:03. | :04:07. | |
1970s and 1980s and the early 1990s, and a lot of people, if still alive, | :04:08. | :04:14. | |
sleeping on comfortably and thinking, what could come up? 1995, | :04:15. | :04:24. | |
that is when I started working as a political journalist in the House of | :04:25. | :04:29. | |
Commons, I had spent my previous decade as a young journalist | :04:30. | :04:34. | |
abroad. Did you know about the dirt book? I did not. I had no | :04:35. | :04:40. | |
information about what anybody was often but there was something rather | :04:41. | :04:44. | |
tawdry about Westminster and the building and the strange habits and | :04:45. | :04:50. | |
the rituals and there was an atmosphere of portly, middle aged | :04:51. | :04:53. | |
men with red faces drinking too much. And to a very large degree at | :04:54. | :05:01. | |
Westminster, it has cleaned itself up. But it still feels like a very | :05:02. | :05:06. | |
antiquated establishment but I got the sense then of people getting | :05:07. | :05:13. | |
away with what they could with and that culture of indulgence. Going | :05:14. | :05:18. | |
back to this idea of what society was like, the sex register was only | :05:19. | :05:26. | |
set up in the mid`19 90s. And I think something like this, talking | :05:27. | :05:31. | |
about Westminster, the establishment was much more powerful 30 years ago | :05:32. | :05:39. | |
than it is today, power has been disseminated from white privileged | :05:40. | :05:45. | |
men to more and more people. And I think that has changed the balance | :05:46. | :05:50. | |
and it has enabled people to bring these things forward and challenge | :05:51. | :05:54. | |
authorities and say, what you are doing is not right. The Daily Mail, | :05:55. | :06:01. | |
the Home Office gave money to groups linked to paedophiles. This is a | :06:02. | :06:14. | |
paedophile exchange. This is in the headlines again. Yes, and the | :06:15. | :06:21. | |
interesting thing when looking at the use of the word historic, that | :06:22. | :06:26. | |
is one that is much used now, when it comes to individual cases that | :06:27. | :06:30. | |
have gone through the courts, whether people have been convicted | :06:31. | :06:38. | |
or acquitted, the curiosity is that while all of these actions and | :06:39. | :06:42. | |
activities, alleged or otherwise, where illegal, even then, as we have | :06:43. | :06:53. | |
been saying, blind eyes were turned and there was that sense of | :06:54. | :06:56. | |
indulgence. You have the sense of a much less... Much less tolerance. | :06:57. | :07:05. | |
And what condemnation of all of this, judging a generation that | :07:06. | :07:12. | |
thought they could get away with it. And that is why that use of the word | :07:13. | :07:18. | |
historic is quite important, this is a different era. That is the thing. | :07:19. | :07:26. | |
This story, the Home Office gave nearly ?500,000 to groups linked to | :07:27. | :07:36. | |
campaigners sex with children. The phrase is, the past is another | :07:37. | :07:40. | |
country. Clearly, thousands of miles away, if this is what alleged `` is | :07:41. | :07:49. | |
alleged. The Daily Mail have had a very big campaign about this because | :07:50. | :07:53. | |
they have find links between organisations and Harriet Harman | :07:54. | :07:59. | |
worked in when she was an activist and this particular group, so they | :08:00. | :08:03. | |
have a particular drum to bank. What I would say, there is this case | :08:04. | :08:10. | |
about whether or not someone from this group actually had access to | :08:11. | :08:14. | |
the Home Office. Where these documents alleging sex abuse of | :08:15. | :08:23. | |
children have disappeared. There is this connection but I think... It is | :08:24. | :08:30. | |
shocking that this was a different time but the bigger issue is going | :08:31. | :08:34. | |
to be the first enquiry, the soul`searching national enquiry and | :08:35. | :08:42. | |
this is a specific thing. A particular element? In line with the | :08:43. | :08:49. | |
campaign they have been running. The Telegraph, you will not fly if your | :08:50. | :08:57. | |
telephone is flat. And if you are heading to the United States, you | :08:58. | :09:01. | |
must prove that your phone is charged and can switch on and it is | :09:02. | :09:08. | |
not a bomb. Inside America, this has been the rule for a very long time. | :09:09. | :09:12. | |
They were not throw you off the flight but they would interrogate | :09:13. | :09:16. | |
you, why is your phone not charged? They would take it away. One | :09:17. | :09:22. | |
slightly mischievous but I had, apparently you will not be able to | :09:23. | :09:27. | |
buy new phones or other electronic gadgets at the airport. You can buy | :09:28. | :09:34. | |
something completely new, if it is not charged... ? I'm thinking about | :09:35. | :09:39. | |
all of the electronic firms in those terminals, they make loads of money | :09:40. | :09:47. | |
selling goods... If it is shrink`wrapped? No, apparently, you | :09:48. | :09:53. | |
must take it out of the packaging. I do not know what they will do. This | :09:54. | :10:00. | |
happened after September 11. Can you remember the chaos? Bottles of | :10:01. | :10:08. | |
water? Taking equipment and by phone card, and that has fallen away until | :10:09. | :10:15. | |
now. This is a different regime but it does seem to me... I would say, | :10:16. | :10:23. | |
can the airport authorities not be more intelligent about how they can | :10:24. | :10:28. | |
apply these rules? And apply some common`sense? It will not be | :10:29. | :10:36. | |
everybody, it is who they decide is potentially... The old profiling | :10:37. | :10:43. | |
question? But when people are travelling, it yields you another | :10:44. | :10:48. | |
set of problems and worries that you will have. I haven't charged my | :10:49. | :10:57. | |
phone, I will have two which it. `` I will have two throw it away. When | :10:58. | :11:06. | |
the story broke one week ago about the enhanced checks and increased | :11:07. | :11:13. | |
fears from Syria and Iraq, and all of that, do they not also say in | :11:14. | :11:20. | |
that we brought from the US intelligence that the concerns were | :11:21. | :11:29. | |
that people were concealing explosives inside their body? We | :11:30. | :11:37. | |
haven't seen anything on that? Aspirate and you can put on | :11:38. | :11:40. | |
clothing, that was something they are working on. `` a body spray. | :11:41. | :11:48. | |
Will those scanners make full scanners for everybody? Will not be | :11:49. | :11:55. | |
compulsory? How many hours will it take to get through the airport? | :11:56. | :12:01. | |
Staying with The Daily Telegraph... Vernon puts allies back into the | :12:02. | :12:08. | |
cold? Really interesting, going back to the Edward Snowden revelations, | :12:09. | :12:15. | |
the National Security Agency was listening to the phone of Angela | :12:16. | :12:21. | |
Merkel and the Americans were surveying their allies and not just | :12:22. | :12:29. | |
former Cold War enemies or particular states in the Middle | :12:30. | :12:35. | |
East. The revelation of somebody working for the German services | :12:36. | :12:39. | |
being unmasked as a double agent last week. The Germans are | :12:40. | :12:46. | |
pushing... The quote that I like is from a spokesman for Angela | :12:47. | :12:51. | |
Merkel's party, we must focus strongly on our so`called allies. | :12:52. | :13:06. | |
The Germans are fed up with being spied on by her American friends. | :13:07. | :13:13. | |
The revelation have phone was being tapped by the Americans went down so | :13:14. | :13:18. | |
badly. Barack Obama had to apologise publicly for it. Without actually | :13:19. | :13:25. | |
revealing what other world leaders phones they were listening to. They | :13:26. | :13:29. | |
get over that and now it turns out they are using some | :13:30. | :13:32. | |
get over that and now it turns out they are using kind of double agent. | :13:33. | :13:35. | |
And David Cameron needs Angela Merkel. He needs to keep in with | :13:36. | :13:40. | |
her. One of the allies, that is true. This is a country where the | :13:41. | :13:48. | |
eastern half during the Cold War, they did not think that spying on | :13:49. | :13:53. | |
each other. It is a very raw nerve for the German people. Absolutely. | :13:54. | :14:00. | |
The far greater emphasis on Reeva Sea issues on data protection | :14:01. | :14:04. | |
issues, the Germans and the French and others in continental Europe as | :14:05. | :14:11. | |
being cavalier in terms of both allowing states to survey and to | :14:12. | :14:23. | |
tap, but also being cavalier about our own approach when it comes to | :14:24. | :14:28. | |
commercial companies as well. This will really throw this open. OK, you | :14:29. | :14:30. | |
will be back in about 15 minutes. Slightly shorter than usual. | :14:31. | :14:35. | |
State Withers on BBC News. On the top of the hour we will have more on | :14:36. | :14:37. | |
the Home Secretary's announcement there will be two new enquiries on | :14:38. | :14:45. | |
historic child abuse allegations. But now it is time for sports day. | :14:46. | :14:49. |
