:00:00. > :00:09.Islam or pay a protection tax. Coming up: Dawn Of The Planet Of The

:00:10. > :00:32.Apes and the rest of the latest releases.

:00:33. > :00:42.Time for a look at the front pages. Thank you for joining us. Most of

:00:43. > :00:56.them are leading with the plane crash. The Times shows some of the

:00:57. > :01:01.80 children who died. The families of a British lawyer and a bankable

:01:02. > :01:10.top armed rebels deny access to the tragic that is of flight MH17. ``

:01:11. > :01:15.tragic victims. The Telegraph takes a similar line, saying that the

:01:16. > :01:17.victims have been robbed of their dignity by the rebels. And an

:01:18. > :01:26.official photograph of Prince George on his birthday. The crash in

:01:27. > :01:38.Ukraine and the Gaza conflict share the same headline in the

:01:39. > :01:47.Independent: The innocents. The front page of the Sunday Herald says

:01:48. > :01:55.one third of the plane victims came from Commonwealth nations. As you

:01:56. > :02:00.can imagine, it is hardly a surprise that MH17 has not disappeared from

:02:01. > :02:07.the front pages of the papers. It probably will not for some time. The

:02:08. > :02:15.Sunday Times is a harrowing front page. It's dreadful. These could be

:02:16. > :02:22.your own children, grandchildren, nieces, nephews. Ordinary little

:02:23. > :02:26.children whose lives had not even started and they are just some of

:02:27. > :02:33.the 80 children who died in this appalling incident. And it brings it

:02:34. > :02:40.home, the human cost to this. People like us, people like people we know.

:02:41. > :02:45.That is the awful tragedy. The other story on the Sunday Times is the

:02:46. > :02:52.hard edged side to this, which is a powerful piece by David Cameron, I

:02:53. > :03:01.think, where he has written, calling for some action. It has some attacks

:03:02. > :03:05.on European partners. And what is interesting is that like President

:03:06. > :03:09.Obama, he is pointing the finger of blame at the separatist and on

:03:10. > :03:17.Russia for backing them. Without any doubt at all will stop it is very

:03:18. > :03:21.strong language. It is a fine piece. He is giving Vladimir Putin an

:03:22. > :03:24.ultimatum. He says that unless he changes his approach to Ukraine,

:03:25. > :03:32.Europe must change its approach to Russia. What he means by that our

:03:33. > :03:36.sanctions but you get the impression that he is going further than that.

:03:37. > :03:41.This is making Vladimir Putin and international pariah, completely

:03:42. > :03:46.freezing him out, unless Vladimir Putin starts doing what needs to be

:03:47. > :03:52.done and the first stage will be to allow unfettered access immediately

:03:53. > :04:00.to international investigators. He makes comparisons to Lockerbie. Yes,

:04:01. > :04:06.he does. The horrors of Lockerbie that he remembers from when he was a

:04:07. > :04:15.young man. Similarly, the images of MH17 will not leave us. The Sunday

:04:16. > :04:20.Times says there is new evidence of an intercepted phone call, which,

:04:21. > :04:23.again, point very clearly towards the Kremlin, saying that the

:04:24. > :04:28.missiles were smuggled into Ukraine into the night `` in the night.

:04:29. > :04:35.David Cameron is talking about European partners. He says he has

:04:36. > :04:42.seen the reluctance to challenge Russia. Is he saying in the EU is

:04:43. > :04:47.not doing enough? Absolutely. And they do tend to be the countries

:04:48. > :04:53.with closest physical proximity to Russia and the most direct

:04:54. > :04:57.experience. And in a horrible twist of the tragedy that is unfolding,

:04:58. > :05:04.this could be quite an important moment for David Cameron. If he is

:05:05. > :05:09.seen to be the tough man of Europe on this instead of saying that we

:05:10. > :05:14.have to be grateful to the Russians for their gas and oil and so on, he

:05:15. > :05:25.actually could make a statesmanlike... This is nothing

:05:26. > :05:32.short of an ultimatum to President Putin and Putin has to respond to

:05:33. > :05:38.this literally immediately. The Mail on Sunday also focuses on the

:05:39. > :05:44.victims. They are looking at the British victims and two families in

:05:45. > :05:47.particular. Yes, two families of a lawyer and a banker who died with

:05:48. > :05:56.their wives and five children between them. They were going on

:05:57. > :06:05.holiday. John Allen and his wife and three sons. Andrew Hoare, a banker,

:06:06. > :06:11.with his wife and their two sons. The human cost. It brings it

:06:12. > :06:15.home... There has already been a huge human cost anyway before the

:06:16. > :06:19.plane crash in this conflict. What this does is tipped the

:06:20. > :06:24.international condemnation. Innocent people who were simply flying over.

:06:25. > :06:28.They would not even have known they were flying over Ukraine. They were

:06:29. > :06:32.on their way to conferences, holidays or whatever and they were

:06:33. > :06:43.blown out of the sky. That is what brings the horror... In the

:06:44. > :06:46.Observer: Armed rebels deny access to the disaster site. Quick to jump

:06:47. > :06:53.to the conclusion they are trying to cover up the evidence. We do not

:06:54. > :06:58.know but again, we have to look back at what Putin is saying. Either he

:06:59. > :07:02.is a very bad liar or not good at telling the truth but either way, he

:07:03. > :07:08.has been dissembling all the way through. Everything he says sounds

:07:09. > :07:12.hollow. The onus is on him now to sort out the investigation. That

:07:13. > :07:17.means immediate access to the crash site. These are pro`Russian

:07:18. > :07:23.militia. Surely there is some control over them. He can force the

:07:24. > :07:28.agenda. He will show that he is trying to find out who did it. We do

:07:29. > :07:32.not know who pulled the trigger of the missile but we do know that

:07:33. > :07:40.somebody did and that person must be found out as soon as possible. It is

:07:41. > :07:43.a confusing situation on the ground. Our reporters say you do not know

:07:44. > :07:47.who is in charge when it comes to the rebels. However, direction does

:07:48. > :07:55.probably have to come from Russia, as the Observer says. Absolutely.

:07:56. > :07:58.And Putin has it within his power to say that we must prove

:07:59. > :08:05.internationally that we can deal with this properly. The Independent

:08:06. > :08:08.on Sunday reminds us that the conflict in Ukraine is not the only

:08:09. > :08:14.one Taking Place in the world. Indeed, there are many. But two

:08:15. > :08:25.emerging ones. And their headline focuses on the victims. It is a

:08:26. > :08:28.stunning photographs, `` it is a stunning photograph. The independent

:08:29. > :08:36.without exception has stunning photographs. Carrying the wreckage

:08:37. > :08:40.of flight MH17 in Ukraine and carrying the bodies of children

:08:41. > :08:44.killed in Gaza. It is a powerful message for a Sunday newspaper. As

:08:45. > :08:51.people around the world call for an end to the bloodshed in Palestine,

:08:52. > :08:55.political leaders unite to call for an end to violence in Donetsk we

:08:56. > :09:02.report with the blood of innocents are being spilt. These are not

:09:03. > :09:06.soldiers, these are innocent people. And a reminder that there is an

:09:07. > :09:11.awful conflict going on in Gaza as well. And rather like Ukraine, the

:09:12. > :09:15.whole danger of Gaza is that it will keep escalating and escalating.

:09:16. > :09:20.There is no sign of any side pulling back. There are ceasefires here and

:09:21. > :09:24.there but they come to nothing until again we get pressure on both the

:09:25. > :09:30.Israelis and the Palestinians and Hamas to stop the fighting. This is

:09:31. > :09:37.going to carry on and it will get worse. That is the point. And both

:09:38. > :09:40.conflicts rely on the international community to try to end them as well

:09:41. > :09:49.and bring peace. The Sunday Telegraph. We will take a look at a

:09:50. > :09:54.slightly different story, now, because this is a headline I'm sure

:09:55. > :09:59.people like you, Nigel and Joe, did not think you would be reading

:10:00. > :10:04.tomorrow. Voters approve Cabinet changes. I'm actually surprised

:10:05. > :10:08.about this. What's David Cameron was trying to do was not so much make

:10:09. > :10:14.his Cabinet reshuffle a positive, he was removing negatives. We're coming

:10:15. > :10:19.up to the general election and all of the politicians will be trying to

:10:20. > :10:29.do this, jettisoning things that are unpopular. In Nick Clegg's Chase, ``

:10:30. > :10:35.Nick Clegg's case, it is the bedroom tax. In David Cameron's case, it is

:10:36. > :10:42.not having enough women. But this has turned out to be popular with

:10:43. > :10:46.the voters. This reshuffle, even more so among Tory voters. Maybe it

:10:47. > :10:53.is having more impact than we thought it would. I think that is

:10:54. > :10:57.actually the truth. Westminster watchers are looking for the

:10:58. > :11:01.minutiae and are being caught on the hop by William Hague and Michael

:11:02. > :11:08.Gove, obviously, but down at the local pub, people think actually,

:11:09. > :11:12.that's all right. But it has to be said that there is an interesting

:11:13. > :11:18.interview with Ken Clarke in the Observer, who has said some

:11:19. > :11:23.rather... He has thrown some cigar lead and hand grenades into the

:11:24. > :11:32.commentary. And Owen Paterson is also writing in the Telegraph today.

:11:33. > :11:36.`` cigar laden hand grenades into the commentary. This shows that

:11:37. > :11:42.policy still matters when it comes to the voters, not just

:11:43. > :11:46.personality. But the fact that it is Ken Clarke saying it makes me think

:11:47. > :11:51.this is just the opening shot of what he will be doing over the next

:11:52. > :11:58.few years, campaigning. And so the subtext of what he is saying about

:11:59. > :12:02.the recovery and that it is fragile, but most importantly the idea that

:12:03. > :12:07.we cannot go it alone, breaking away from Europe... He says it will not

:12:08. > :12:14.be wonderful if we break away from Europe. I think that if you put

:12:15. > :12:19.everything he says against that backdrop of his fanaticism for

:12:20. > :12:24.Europe... And returning to the Sunday Telegraph, because for a

:12:25. > :12:28.moment we could perhaps try to forget about some of the horrors in

:12:29. > :12:33.Ukraine and Gaza and for a fleeting moment, we could turn our attention

:12:34. > :12:41.to one particular very famous, very important one`year`old boy. If you

:12:42. > :12:46.could put a sepia filter over that photograph, it could be his father

:12:47. > :12:56.and his band father. The most extraordinary commonality. And ``

:12:57. > :13:02.his father or his grandfather. The most extraordinary commonality and

:13:03. > :13:06.the same wardrobe, it seems. They have slipped his hair back to make

:13:07. > :13:18.him look like he is out of the 1930s. He says he looks like Winston

:13:19. > :13:24.Churchill. As do all babies! LAUGHTER. But he is dressed like

:13:25. > :13:28.Winston Churchill as well! It shows that the monarchy is still well and

:13:29. > :13:35.truly alive and has a future in this country. And as you say, we need

:13:36. > :13:42.something that is quite cheering and what is nicer than seeing a baby

:13:43. > :13:45.take his first steps? This must be a delight for the Queen as well who

:13:46. > :13:52.has no doubt been worrying about the future of the monarchy in British

:13:53. > :14:00.society. This is good news for the Queen. Of course. What she can see

:14:01. > :14:06.is that the monarchy continues. The line is pretty much worked out. Is

:14:07. > :14:12.it how she would like it to continue, do you think? She has

:14:13. > :14:18.changed things. You have to remember how much she has been able to change

:14:19. > :14:24.the way... Or allow the changes. If you take the watershed of Princess

:14:25. > :14:29.Diana's death, she was the one who decided they had to come to London

:14:30. > :14:33.and not day in Balmoral, had to come and talk to the people, be among the

:14:34. > :14:39.people. Those things for her decision in the end. And that was

:14:40. > :14:43.quite important. When you look at the younger members of the Royal

:14:44. > :14:47.family now, they are doing their duty, going around the world and

:14:48. > :14:53.seeing people. It does show that the monarchy has a future. It seems a

:14:54. > :15:00.younger, more relaxed generation. Yes. I think back to the opening of

:15:01. > :15:07.the Olympic Games and there was a genuine sense of affection of these

:15:08. > :15:15.people who could teach politicians a thing or two. Thank you. Coming up

:15:16. > :15:17.next, the Film Review.
