18/07/2014 The Papers

have been forced to concede that a Tour de France win is highly

unlikely. That is all coming up in about 15 minutes.

This camera keeps catching me by surprise... Welcome to Outlook at

what they are newspapers will be bringing us tomorrow morning. ``

welcome to our look. The Financial Times says the US president is

warning of further action. The father of one of the ten British

victims confirmed Lays blame firmly on Putin. Pictures of the British

victims on the front of the Daily Telegraph. The Mirror devotes its

entire front page to those who died on the flight. The Times says the

flight was lost after rebels shot down the wrong jets. The Guardian

reports on what they described as a cover`up. Rebels have destroyed all

links to the atrocity. A rebel fighter at the crash site, holding

up a cuddly toy. The headline is the quote: People fell from the sky.

This is the story that is dominating the front pages tonight and it is

where we will begin. The rebels have destroyed all links to the MH17

atrocity, according to the Guardian. Separatists block access to the

crash site. A Russian fighter holding up a cuddly toy among the

debris that has been found. James, the concern is that this team of

experts that have only been given limited access to the crash site

today, which they are obviously very pleased with, really must get in

there before the site is ruined by people travelling all over it and

taking things from it. The Guardian have done a good job. They have

worked out what the story is. There is not a lot of hard evidence

around. This story is that there should be experts on site. If you

want to find out what happened, you should have experts on this site

looking for evidence to prove one way or another whether the Russians

were involved. That is not happening. The article makes the

point that this is according to evidence from Weston `based defence

and intelligence specialist. There are sceptics as to the voracity of

even that. Claim and counterclaim. People on social media have been

saying that they don't believe them either. Don't forget that some

countries claiming Russia was responsible also tried to say that

Iraq had weapons of mass destruction. Absolutely. It is not

immediately clear. I assume the experts they are talking about would

be the observers. Yes, with the OSCE. Yes, but at least we have a

story from the Guardian that is based on actual observation of

events that have happened. They were getting the story from closer to the

crash site. Yes. They were there. And their report is that there was

actually a stand`off between the OSCE and the rebel commanders and

that a shot was fired, which gives you quite a good picture of what

that situation was. And I believe those advisers, those specialists,

were only on`site for about 75 minutes. They were there for a very

short time. They had a big argument. And they were not allowed to do

anything very much and were seen off by gunfire. And some suggestion

several hours ago that the black boxes on the other devices which are

useful to investigators are not at the scene and may have been taken

somewhere else. Let's look inside the Times. Rebels should done wrong

plane. This suggests that MH17 took a quick and cheap retention not have

been flying over this particular area because of the violence we have

seen. `` a quick and cheap route. Some of the rebel groups had tweeted

that they had brought down what they thought was a military aircraft of

some sort. Those posts have now been removed, which is why we have this

headline. This is good work from Times, bringing it together very

nicely. There is a lot on social media pointing to Russian

involvement. Pointing to the Russian backed separatists. And if it was

not as serious... It would almost be like keystone cops. Shooting down

the wrong plane. You know, if there had not been so many people on

board... We should not be bringing anything to suggest either way. It's

an interesting theory that they did want to do it in order to draw

Russia into the conflict more closely. I cannot see how that would

work. Another headline about taking the cheap route. Some airlines had

already stopped flying over this part of Ukraine because of the

violence but then this article suggests that even at the supposedly

safe height this aircraft was flying, it was well within the range

of certain weaponry. I think there is a lot more still to come on this

aspect of the story. It's quite fascinating. Why was anybody flying

across that airspace? But I'm also intrigued by the list of airlines

that are not flying and to see that among the ones that are not going

across it, Virgin, British Airlines, is the Russian airline.

And this is a very bad day for Malaysian airlines and their

business. Were they trying to save fuel? It is cheaper to fly directly

over that route. The other airlines, Singapore, Air India... It leaves a

lot of questions. The Mirror is one of a number of papers who has quite

rightly, one could say, with the victims on the front page. You can

see the range of people who have been killed in this crash, whatever

its cause. And hearing some of the stories from the families is so

moving. We report on tragedies all the time but this one seems to

really get under the skin. Yes, it does. And these images. The fact

that because of social media and smartphones, these images are

readily available in a way that in the past they would not have been.

And you can immediately see and identify these victims. The Scotsman

has a similar front page with this montage of people who were on

board. People of all ages, all backgrounds. A global tragedy. The

number of nationalities on board has drawn many countries into a conflict

that perhaps they had been keeping away from and they now cannot avoid

being drawn in now. Yes. It is interesting that we have what is

essentially a local paper looking at the global aspect, if you like. I'm

not sure the picture works as it is very busy but... This is just a

handful of people. And yet there are hundreds more. Exactly. You get an

idea of the range of people in the nationalities. It also emphasises

how isolated Russia now seems. You have the impression that this

represents the world and all of these countries have been affected.

It highlights the isolation. On another day, this would have been

all over the front pages, I'm sure. Because of the crash, it is not.

Israel and Gaza and what is happening between Hamas and the

Israeli Defence Force. It has been pushed inside the papers, mostly.

This is the second page of the Sun. Israeli tanks pound Gaza. After 2000

air strikes in which 274 Palestinians have been killed, the

vast majority of them civilians, we now have this ground offensive,

which has also become a ground incursion, with troops on the

ground. Benjamin Netanyahu says it will be intensified even further.

Yes. Apparently, it is to target Hamas's tunnel network and the push

continues. That cannot be done from the air, it seems. An invasion is

being used by the other side. It's not good news. It's another terrible

story. We said yesterday that Benjamin Netanyahu said it would be

of limited scope but not limited intensity. It just means that peace

is further away because you create more mistrust and anger on both

sides. And we will have to wait even longer before we get close to any

kind of arrangement. I remember Bill Clinton having both sides at the

White House and thinking, here we go, we are almost over the line.

That was 20 years ago and it is worse than ever. Egypt tried the

other day that lasted for about five hours. If you are in Israel, you

want your country to protect you from rockets that are being fired

from Gaza. Conversely, how defensible is this in terms of the

proportionality of the response? But if the missiles are coming at your

house, it would seem proportionate to you. The state has to protect its

citizens, every single one. If this is what they think they have to do

to protect them, it seems proportionate. I'm not saying it is

but that is the kind of defence. It depends on which side of the

argument you are on. It's difficult not to see this with the historical

perspective and the feeling that there is an inevitability about the

way this has unfolded and is unfolding and the hope that there

will be a break and a pulling back in the fullness of time. We feel we

have been here before. The Sun on the same page. The possible breakup

of the big four banks. The big four banks face a lengthy competition

probe, a word that nobody ever uses in normal speech, which could result

in their breakup. Lloyds and the Bank of Scotland are partly owned by

us, the taxpayer. This has been mooted for ages. They have too much

power and need to be smaller. This is a very happy story. However, it's

not quite as simple as that. As ever. It says in the story that it

may spell the end of free banking for many. There is no such thing! Of

course there is! You pay for it in other ways, don't you? Apparently

they have to advertise and be more transparent and shared data. Only if

you read the small print, and who does, frankly? Once again, this is

an Ed Miliband initiative which started off great and somehow

doesn't quite work out for him. Why not? Because he put forward this

idea and it has been taken up but there is a sting in the tail and as

James was pointing out, it's not going to be quite as popular as it

seems at first. But the costs are hidden. It's not that we don't pay

anything, we just don't realise what we're praying. I just feel sorry for

Ed Miliband in a way but somehow he cannot get through with his ideas.

Let's get through with the Telegraph. Buying the groceries and

a new house. As well as your milk and bread, you can get one of 4000

new homes that will be built by Tesco on land previously earmarked

for supermarkets. The reason the land is available is they have been

stopped in their tracks from building in some places. Yes and

they are turning it to good use. They are quite versatile. They are

in banking as well. They are diversifying. Apparently, the land

around this area is worth a lot of money, so if they are going to be

building desirable residences on it, they might be making more money than

from the supermarkets. They certainly would think of it as a

safe bet. This is the south of England where people do not want

supermarkets. It's extraordinary. The fingers that supermarkets having

so many different pies. It's because they're facing competition from

algae `` from Aldi and Lidl. They have so many strange things now.

Now, they are selling houses. Thank you for joining us.
