:00:12. > :00:15.much anticipated fight between Tyson Fury and Dereck Chisora will not go

:00:16. > :00:23.ahead after Dereck Chisora pulled out after injuring himself. Welcome

:00:24. > :00:27.to the Papers. Hello and welcome to our look

:00:28. > :00:30.ahead to what the the papers With me are

:00:31. > :00:33.the political commentator Miranda Green and Tom Bergin,

:00:34. > :00:38.Business Correspondent at Reuters. Starting with the Financial Times,

:00:39. > :00:46.it leads with the story of the Tesco chief executive going. They claim

:00:47. > :00:48.that Tesco buyers to the City. The Independent has a picture of Tulisa

:00:49. > :00:52.Contostavlos on the front page after the collapse of the court case

:00:53. > :00:59.against her, it claims that France and Germany are accused of going

:01:00. > :01:03.soft on Putin over the MH17 crash. Tulisa is also in the Metro, talking

:01:04. > :01:07.about her torment. The Daily Mail features a new official picture of

:01:08. > :01:13.Prince George, celebrating his first birthday, and the Daily Express also

:01:14. > :01:19.has a picture of him. The Guardian elites of the story on genital

:01:20. > :01:24.mutilation. `` the Guardian leads with a story on female genital

:01:25. > :01:28.mutilation. We begin with the front page of the Independent. It refers

:01:29. > :01:32.partly to the discussions that have gone on in the UN and partly to

:01:33. > :01:37.those that will go on tomorrow about the downing of the Malaysia

:01:38. > :01:43.Airlines. Tom, what are they saying? The story in the Independent looks

:01:44. > :01:46.at what the Europe is doing that, or rather not doing. The story is that

:01:47. > :01:50.France and Germany are accused of not taking a stand against Russia

:01:51. > :01:54.purely because of commercial interests that they have. This is

:01:55. > :02:01.not new, it has always been the case. What is new, and for many

:02:02. > :02:05.people will be depressing, is that 200 dead Europeans doesn't change

:02:06. > :02:13.this position. And the countries in Europe are still visibly concerned

:02:14. > :02:16.with the commercial interests. This particular story focuses very much

:02:17. > :02:21.on David Cameron, calling upon the French to stop the sale of two

:02:22. > :02:25.military ships to Russia. We were discussing this before we came on

:02:26. > :02:27.air. The interesting thing is, normally in a crisis, friends

:02:28. > :02:31.discuss what they can do to improve this and they bring to the table

:02:32. > :02:38.what they can do to help. Written seems to be saying what fans can do

:02:39. > :02:42.to help, `` Britain seems to be saying what the French can do. The

:02:43. > :02:46.best placed people to say which sanctions could be brought against

:02:47. > :02:49.Russia are those with the closest connections to the place so that

:02:50. > :02:53.they themselves could bring leveraged but David Cameron has not

:02:54. > :02:57.listed any sanctions the UK might bring against Russia perhaps because

:02:58. > :03:03.it might damage British commercial interests. Because the City of

:03:04. > :03:08.London is hugely important financial Centre for Russian businesses. And

:03:09. > :03:14.London is a sort of playground for the Russian oligarchs. So London,

:03:15. > :03:17.particularly, and the UK economy generally, to financial services,

:03:18. > :03:22.has a lot to lose through strict sanctions on Russia. So the rhetoric

:03:23. > :03:27.today from David Cameron very firmly casts the blame on other European

:03:28. > :03:31.countries, not willing to come forward with suggestions of how to

:03:32. > :03:38.put pressure on Putin. He may be playing a bit of a game there. Also

:03:39. > :03:42.there is this wider question of what the European Union is for, and how

:03:43. > :03:49.it can function in a crisis like this, because what you are seeing

:03:50. > :03:53.from David Cameron is, I expect a unified foreign policy stance from

:03:54. > :03:57.the EU. In a sense that is out of step with the rest of the

:03:58. > :04:03.Conservative Party's views on Europe! Not what his party would

:04:04. > :04:06.normally advocate. Exactly. And this meeting of Foreign Minister is in

:04:07. > :04:11.Brussels tomorrow, one thing that is on the agenda at the moment is the

:04:12. > :04:15.question of who should be the next individual in charge of your's Forum

:04:16. > :04:20.policy. It has been barren as Ashton, a British person, it won't

:04:21. > :04:24.be another British person. In this story they go big on France and

:04:25. > :04:28.Germany not wanting to sacrifice their business links with Germany

:04:29. > :04:32.but Italy also has important business links with Russia, an

:04:33. > :04:37.Italian name has been floated as the next foreign policy chief for

:04:38. > :04:41.Europe. Will that work if Italy has such close business links with

:04:42. > :04:46.Russia if they try to put pressure on Putin? It is a compensated

:04:47. > :04:50.picture. It is questionable if you will ever achieve Europe speaking

:04:51. > :04:54.with one voice at a moment like this, which is why the Independent

:04:55. > :05:00.says that the reaction of the Dutch is so crucial. Given what has

:05:01. > :05:03.happened, particularly to the Netherlands, if their Prime Minister

:05:04. > :05:09.speaks as passionately as you imagine he will already has, and the

:05:10. > :05:17.Dutch Foreign Minister will speak tomorrow, will that happen impact?

:05:18. > :05:21.This story makes the point that a softer tone with Russia might be

:05:22. > :05:27.more practical and might help with the investigation. On the other

:05:28. > :05:33.hand, their anger might lead them to say, they want some firm results. So

:05:34. > :05:38.how they react, they have huge moral force on this. Let's go to the front

:05:39. > :05:42.of the Guardian. We will focus on two stories. Further coverage of

:05:43. > :05:48.events in Gaza, more than 20 members of one family killed in Gaza

:05:49. > :05:52.strike, that's at the foot of the front page, this gives as an

:05:53. > :06:00.opportunity to reflect not just on the scale of the story but also the

:06:01. > :06:03.telling of the story. We have a piece on the front of the newspaper

:06:04. > :06:09.which is representative of what the media has been able to do, this

:06:10. > :06:14.terrible diplomatic Lall, the crisis is being addressed from time to time

:06:15. > :06:17.by the President of the United States from his podium outside the

:06:18. > :06:23.White House, but he can't really take any action. There have been

:06:24. > :06:28.failed attempts to broker a cease`fire by Egypt, in the

:06:29. > :06:33.meantime, reporters are in there, bringing out a distressing stories

:06:34. > :06:39.on a daily basis. The BBC has leased Doucet there with very upsetting

:06:40. > :06:44.footage. We have Peter Beaumont that `` Lyse Doucet. There are some very

:06:45. > :06:53.distinguished journalists there. Bringing out stories which are

:06:54. > :06:56.horrific. In this piece to might, Save The Children says that on

:06:57. > :07:04.average seven young children have been killed everyday `` in this

:07:05. > :07:08.piece tonight. I think that really, it is this question of the

:07:09. > :07:14.uncontrollable number of civilian casualties. I had my hair cut today

:07:15. > :07:17.and my hairdresser spent the whole time discussing it and he isn't

:07:18. > :07:26.usually given to discussing politics with me over haircut. The images

:07:27. > :07:34.have just been horrific. This is what touches people. This commentary

:07:35. > :07:39.will resonate for a long time. Parents who allow female genital

:07:40. > :07:44.mutilation will be prosecuted. This is the point that both of you picked

:07:45. > :07:52.up on, this figure, 137,000 victims in England and Wales, much higher

:07:53. > :07:55.than previously thought. And even if this happened before they arrived in

:07:56. > :07:59.the country, because some of these will include immigrants, still

:08:00. > :08:05.shocking. I remember when this subject first came about. I had this

:08:06. > :08:09.idea that it was very niche. I associated the practice with the

:08:10. > :08:14.Horn of Africa. I thought it was something small. It got a big degree

:08:15. > :08:19.of political push behind it. In one sense we can see it wasn't niche,

:08:20. > :08:26.it's an enormous problem. That's necessary to have serious sanctions

:08:27. > :08:31.to tackle it, because obviously, the previous approach of coaxing people

:08:32. > :08:34.wasn't successful. Unfortunately, it is the time of year. This week, most

:08:35. > :08:52.of the state schools break up. family in their country of origin.

:08:53. > :08:56.Unfortunately, it is very important to rate at the beginning of the

:08:57. > :09:04.summer and to publicise the any families that it is an illegal

:09:05. > :09:11.practice and is no longer seen as something that should be viewed with

:09:12. > :09:17.cultural sensitivity. Where as now, we as a country seem to prioritise

:09:18. > :09:21.the rights of the girls and women over any sense of respecting

:09:22. > :09:26.cultural sensitivity. Again, the media has been very important in

:09:27. > :09:39.this. The evening standard has enormous campaign in FGM. The

:09:40. > :09:42.metro, we have been covering the news of Tulisa Contostavlos and was

:09:43. > :09:59.told of her terrible ordeal for allegedly brokering a cocaine deal

:10:00. > :10:04.collapsed. Incredible story. My interest spiked when they did the

:10:05. > :10:12.nature of it. There was reference to a witness who had been accused of

:10:13. > :10:18.lying. It was the investigative reporter from the sun on Sunday and

:10:19. > :10:20.that reporters now been suspended. Tulisa is obviously calling for

:10:21. > :10:31.further investigation and was the police to be involved. It is very

:10:32. > :10:48.much tabloid journalism, celebrity stings, very much in question. These

:10:49. > :10:51.troubles continue. It is fascinating because this particular

:10:52. > :10:55.investigative journalist, the fake sheik as he's known, he was the star

:10:56. > :11:04.reporter for the News of the World, the painter `` paper which Rupert

:11:05. > :11:10.Murdoch closed down to try and turn over a new leaf and yet he is the

:11:11. > :11:14.witness who the judge said was not being honest in court and that is

:11:15. > :11:23.why the case collapsed. You get back to a really interesting discussion

:11:24. > :11:27.about journalistic ethics because he, the fake sheik, says over the

:11:28. > :11:37.course of his career, his investigations have resulted in 260

:11:38. > :11:44.successful criminal prosecutions. How far do the ends justify the

:11:45. > :11:49.means? The Daily Mail: Priced out of a home beneath the photograph of

:11:50. > :11:58.Prince George and his first birthday. It's a lovely picture. You

:11:59. > :12:02.may possibly allude to the fact that Prince George 's unlikely to be

:12:03. > :12:12.worried about where he will live in later life! There will be a choice

:12:13. > :12:17.of bedroom and houses, I imagine. But actually, the story they

:12:18. > :12:21.splashed with is a recurrent one at the moment and is a subject of

:12:22. > :12:26.generation Renta, as they are calling it, the under 30s who may

:12:27. > :12:35.never afford a home of their own, very different to previous

:12:36. > :12:47.generations. Time has beaten us. For the moment, thank you both very much

:12:48. > :12:51.indeed for that. At 11pm, the latest from the United Nations as the

:12:52. > :12:56.security council passed a resolution. Coming up next, time for

:12:57. > :13:05.sports day.
