result. Many have taken place in the annual | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
parades of the Orange Order. It is the most significant stage in the | :00:00. | :00:09. | |
Protestant marching order. `` marching calendar. | :00:10. | :00:15. | |
Welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will | :00:16. | :00:18. | |
With me are David Akinsanya, campaigner and broadcaster | :00:19. | :00:21. | |
and Vincent Moss, political editor of the Sunday Mirror. Tomorrow's | :00:22. | :00:33. | |
front pages. It leads with Archbishop Tutu's support for those | :00:34. | :00:40. | |
issuing `` wanting a change. Criticism of a Channel four drama | :00:41. | :00:44. | |
which fictionalised as the IRA killing of Tory MP Airey Neave in | :00:45. | :00:49. | |
1979. And child abuse victims to sue the | :00:50. | :00:55. | |
government of a lack of victim support. | :00:56. | :00:59. | |
And the Sunday Telegraph says Tony Blair may be called to Parliament to | :01:00. | :01:03. | |
rear `` to explain what advice was given to reassure on the run IRA | :01:04. | :01:08. | |
members that they would not be prosecuted. Let's start with the | :01:09. | :01:14. | |
Independent on Sunday. Child abuse victims to sue government, | :01:15. | :01:19. | |
exclusive. Legal impact `` embattled questioning on the victims. And lack | :01:20. | :01:25. | |
of action. It speaks to one of the alleged victims about the kind of | :01:26. | :01:30. | |
experience he has had a trying to get justice in the criminal justice | :01:31. | :01:37. | |
system. David, this story will have huge interest for you. Yes. Just | :01:38. | :01:43. | |
watching the stuff over the last couple of weeks it has been | :01:44. | :01:46. | |
interesting to see that we are now looking at people `` at the places | :01:47. | :01:50. | |
people have been worried about for a long time. They used to be an | :01:51. | :01:56. | |
association called the National Association of Young people in care | :01:57. | :01:59. | |
and they lost funding from the government because a lot of people | :02:00. | :02:03. | |
were coming to them and say to them about what was going on and giving | :02:04. | :02:07. | |
them names and evidence. And one of the people who worked for that | :02:08. | :02:11. | |
organisation at her house raided for that information. This was going up | :02:12. | :02:16. | |
`` this was going on for a long time. Lots of people like me in the | :02:17. | :02:21. | |
care system who were physically and sexually abused. For people like me | :02:22. | :02:25. | |
it is great to see this happening. I hope they get to the bottom of it. | :02:26. | :02:31. | |
Vincent, it seems that any kind of claim would be made under the | :02:32. | :02:38. | |
European Convention of human rights that they were not given access to | :02:39. | :02:44. | |
justice and not believed. Absolutely the case. Victims have been making | :02:45. | :02:50. | |
this point for decades have have been ignored. This particular case | :02:51. | :02:55. | |
refers to a fitting in a care home in Richmond in south`west London. | :02:56. | :03:03. | |
The point is that this man `` the point is this man says he thought he | :03:04. | :03:07. | |
had built a safe world and it was taken away from him. He says that | :03:08. | :03:13. | |
victims can come forward but there will be afraid of coming forward | :03:14. | :03:17. | |
because all the pain will have to be relived. He is single so he is not | :03:18. | :03:21. | |
in as bad a place as people with families who would be putting them | :03:22. | :03:28. | |
through that trauma. I expect it is only the first tranche of many | :03:29. | :03:31. | |
victims we will see coming forward complaining about abuse in care | :03:32. | :03:36. | |
homes. We are seeing it in schools and my own paper the Sunday Mirror | :03:37. | :03:40. | |
is reporting on Sunday about right at the heart of the British | :03:41. | :03:43. | |
establishment, people involved in abusing young people. What sort of | :03:44. | :03:50. | |
justice to victims won't? We heard from victims of Rolf Harris, they | :03:51. | :03:54. | |
were saying that the sentence did not matter, it was having the story | :03:55. | :04:00. | |
believed. Absolutely. The reason I did not sue Essex social services | :04:01. | :04:03. | |
for what happened to me is because I got a five page apology letter from | :04:04. | :04:10. | |
them. But the local authority were told not to apologise because then I | :04:11. | :04:17. | |
could sue. But they did apologise. When that was enough. I did think | :04:18. | :04:22. | |
about suing, but I thought where will that come from, children and | :04:23. | :04:25. | |
services. Let's move on to the Observer. | :04:26. | :04:35. | |
Bishop Tutu supports assisted dying. This is the story about whether | :04:36. | :04:40. | |
doctors should have the ability to issue a terminal dose to somebody | :04:41. | :04:44. | |
who no longer wants to live. We have heard from George Carey in the last | :04:45. | :04:49. | |
couple of days, changing his mind about assisted dying for the | :04:50. | :04:52. | |
terminally ill, not people with other illnesses from which they | :04:53. | :04:56. | |
would like to escape. Here we have somebody from the world stage, | :04:57. | :04:59. | |
Desmond Tutu, saying something similar. Very much so. The Observer | :05:00. | :05:06. | |
took on this story quite successfully. Desmond Tutu wrote an | :05:07. | :05:11. | |
article for the Observer. He says it is time for a mind shift in this and | :05:12. | :05:15. | |
he says he has revered the sanctity of life throughout his career but | :05:16. | :05:21. | |
not at any cost. And you want this issue looked at. And it is coming up | :05:22. | :05:25. | |
next week in the House of Lords when Lord Falconer will be raising it | :05:26. | :05:30. | |
again and pushing for a mind shift as Desmond Tutu says. And many | :05:31. | :05:34. | |
people, including those in the church who have resisted it for | :05:35. | :05:37. | |
decades, are starting to come round. He talked about how his | :05:38. | :05:44. | |
friend Nelson Mandela was treated and we know he was kept alive for a | :05:45. | :05:48. | |
long time and we were wondering when they were finally going to let him | :05:49. | :05:54. | |
go. He says here that he underwent numerous painful hospitalisations, | :05:55. | :05:58. | |
forced to endure a photo stunt with politicians just shortly before he | :05:59. | :06:03. | |
died. That is something we did not know about. That was shocking to | :06:04. | :06:07. | |
hear that about Nelson Mandela. You can understand why when we know the | :06:08. | :06:13. | |
games that politicians play. It is sad. I could talk about this in | :06:14. | :06:17. | |
terms of people I know. The bottom line is, I cannot imagine wanting to | :06:18. | :06:23. | |
be in a situation where I can't care for myself. I think a lot of people | :06:24. | :06:28. | |
have that thought. If we start talking about it... It is an | :06:29. | :06:32. | |
important issue for the church but a lot of these people dashing a lot of | :06:33. | :06:37. | |
people in this country are not involved in church and they're | :06:38. | :06:42. | |
thinking about personal issues. I would not want to live if I were not | :06:43. | :06:47. | |
able to enjoy my life. We talked about this before from, it is so | :06:48. | :06:56. | |
difficult for the church as well. Judaism and Islam does not agree | :06:57. | :07:02. | |
with assisted dying but religions tried to remain relevant to their | :07:03. | :07:06. | |
congregations. If their congregation's attitude shifts, then | :07:07. | :07:09. | |
the faith has got some thinking to do. It is also important to remember | :07:10. | :07:16. | |
that the church only represents a portion of society. Many people are | :07:17. | :07:19. | |
not particularly religious. Many people would like to have a say in | :07:20. | :07:26. | |
how they spend their final weeks. There needs to be a voice for those | :07:27. | :07:33. | |
as well. That is what Lord Falconer will be trying to do next Friday. | :07:34. | :07:36. | |
The church has an important voice, but not the only voice. Let's go to | :07:37. | :07:42. | |
the Sunday Telegraph. Three stories, they always do us proud. The lead | :07:43. | :07:49. | |
story, Blair must explain IRA deals. Tony Blair coming under pressure to | :07:50. | :07:53. | |
appear before Parliament to expend secret deals he made with the Sinn | :07:54. | :08:00. | |
Fein to assure some people they will not wanted by police. A trial | :08:01. | :08:04. | |
collapsed because this evidence came to light. Tony Blair always says he | :08:05. | :08:09. | |
is too busy to answer questions. That is rather Tony Blair's mantra | :08:10. | :08:15. | |
when it comes all of things! These are related to the so`called comfort | :08:16. | :08:20. | |
letters and the details behind those. Tony Blair has an private | :08:21. | :08:24. | |
explained what went on in those historic days when deals were done | :08:25. | :08:28. | |
to try to get peace in Northern Ireland and he is under renewed | :08:29. | :08:32. | |
pressure to go before the Northern Ireland committee and explain | :08:33. | :08:35. | |
exactly what happened. I am sure he will not be sure to do every last | :08:36. | :08:40. | |
detail of that but there is mounting pressure for him to do that and | :08:41. | :08:48. | |
explain what he agreed to. A loss of us were quite shocked when that came | :08:49. | :08:52. | |
out, that these promises and been made, members of the general public. | :08:53. | :08:56. | |
We are pleased that things can't down in Northern Ireland and there | :08:57. | :09:00. | |
was a long period that we were very happy. You saw people shopping | :09:01. | :09:04. | |
without fear of bombing. But when it comes down to it, people need to | :09:05. | :09:08. | |
explain themselves and because this is going to cause us lots of problem | :09:09. | :09:11. | |
in the future, he should come forward and explain himself. You | :09:12. | :09:18. | |
wonder what impact it will have in destabilising different communities | :09:19. | :09:22. | |
if questions are asked of him and he explains some of the background? | :09:23. | :09:28. | |
Exactly. Although Tony Blair has a good track record of appearing on | :09:29. | :09:32. | |
stands and appearing eminently plausible so he will find a way of | :09:33. | :09:38. | |
talking his way out of trouble. I am sure `` I am not sure how much it | :09:39. | :09:42. | |
will benefit the situation to go to much into the anatomy of all of | :09:43. | :09:47. | |
these talks. I am sure people would like to have historical reasons, to | :09:48. | :09:51. | |
see people involved in terrorism brought to justice, but be careful | :09:52. | :09:58. | |
what you wish for, sometimes. The Home Office did say that if any new | :09:59. | :10:05. | |
evidence were to come to light, it is not covered by these previous | :10:06. | :10:08. | |
assurances. It did not mean that they could not in future be | :10:09. | :10:13. | |
prosecutions. Exactly. That remains the case. Whether or not Tony Blair | :10:14. | :10:19. | |
appears before these MPs. Another story, take therapy or have your | :10:20. | :10:27. | |
benefits cut. Thousands of benefit claimants with `` stripped of their | :10:28. | :10:33. | |
benefits unless they have treatment for anxiety or depression. People | :10:34. | :10:37. | |
who are unemployed have complex needs and reasons why they do not | :10:38. | :10:42. | |
have a job, not just the reason that they have not been able to keep a | :10:43. | :10:56. | |
job. And does the maths and up? It was up in the long one? It is | :10:57. | :11:04. | |
punitive. A lot of the people I know who cannot go for work still under | :11:05. | :11:11. | |
the same rules as other benefit claimants, so they are not let off | :11:12. | :11:16. | |
completely. No idea from this article where the money would come | :11:17. | :11:22. | |
from? Exactly. And talking about people who are on employment support | :11:23. | :11:26. | |
allowance who have anxiety or depression and with treatment, you | :11:27. | :11:30. | |
could get them back into work. We have seen this in the bedroom tax. | :11:31. | :11:34. | |
Iain Duncan Smith is very good at coming up with the first part of the | :11:35. | :11:41. | |
agreement which is coming `` cutting people 's money, but the therapy, | :11:42. | :11:45. | |
I'm sure they will be encouraging people back to work who have severe | :11:46. | :11:51. | |
depression but will they provide the therapy that is needed? I severely | :11:52. | :11:55. | |
doubt it. What about other people who might think therapy is nonsense | :11:56. | :11:59. | |
and we should just sort themselves out, pull themselves up and get on | :12:00. | :12:07. | |
with it. I suspect that is closer to Iain Duncan Smith's Andy Department | :12:08. | :12:10. | |
for Work and Pensions's feed. But suggesting therapy is the opposite. | :12:11. | :12:17. | |
They are not suggesting how they will pay for it. And Norman Lamb has | :12:18. | :12:22. | |
already been quoted as not thinking it is a sensible idea. Finally with | :12:23. | :12:28. | |
the Telegraph, cometh the hour, day of destiny for Lionel Messi. The | :12:29. | :12:34. | |
world's most lauded footballer will line up at the Maracana Stadium in | :12:35. | :12:39. | |
the World Cup final to take on the Germans. Your money on? The Germans! | :12:40. | :12:48. | |
I wonder how many people in Brazil will want Argentina to win because | :12:49. | :12:51. | |
they are their neighbours or whether there is a rivalry like there is | :12:52. | :12:56. | |
between England and Scotland as Mac it is hard to say but I think it is | :12:57. | :13:03. | |
hard that I think it is interesting that the Telegraph shows and a | :13:04. | :13:08. | |
picture of Lionel Messi celebrating. I had Brazil in the sweepstakes so | :13:09. | :13:13. | |
I'm already out of it. Will you be watching? No. Not bothered? If | :13:14. | :13:21. | |
England were playing. Only because I felt I had to. No? I don't think so, | :13:22. | :13:29. | |
I have lost interest now. I shall be glued to it. Believe that, you'll | :13:30. | :13:34. | |
believe anything! That if the papers for now, but David and Vincent will | :13:35. | :13:42. | |
be back with us at 11:30pm. For another look at the stories making | :13:43. | :13:46. | |
the front pages. Stay with us because missiles continue to fly. | :13:47. | :13:52. | |
Coming up next, reporters. | :13:53. | :14:03. |
