This is all very exciting, isn't it? We are a little bit early. | :00:20. | :00:24. | |
This is all very exciting, isn't it? We are a little This is BBC News. We | :00:25. | :00:31. | |
will be looking at the morning's front pages. Early but perfectly | :00:32. | :00:39. | |
formed. Britain has the fastest`growing economy of the main | :00:40. | :00:43. | |
developed countries, according to the IMF. The Queen at the | :00:44. | :00:48. | |
Commonwealth Games but not an official portrait this time. She is | :00:49. | :00:53. | |
tapping into the edge of the selfie being taken by two of Australia's | :00:54. | :01:00. | |
athletes. The Independent has a picture of injured children in | :01:01. | :01:05. | |
Gaza. And claims that new government figures show that council tax rises | :01:06. | :01:09. | |
are hitting Britain's for the hardest. Gaza is on the front of the | :01:10. | :01:18. | |
Metro. A grief stricken father, whose son has died in the recent | :01:19. | :01:22. | |
shelling. The Guardian says the Health Secretary is demanding | :01:23. | :01:31. | |
investigation by the Food Standards Agency. This is in relation to a | :01:32. | :01:38. | |
poultry farm scandal. The IMF raises growth forecast to more than 3%, | :01:39. | :01:44. | |
leaving other developed countries are standing, by the looks of | :01:45. | :01:50. | |
things. How real and deep rooted is the economic recovery and who is | :01:51. | :01:56. | |
benefiting and who will benefit politically? In this article, they | :01:57. | :02:05. | |
seem to feel that they accept this IMF report, the same IMF that told | :02:06. | :02:10. | |
us one year ago that the Chancellor was playing with fire with austerity | :02:11. | :02:18. | |
measures, is now saying that the UK is surging ahead with every other | :02:19. | :02:22. | |
member of the G7 group of leading nations. They were wrong but George | :02:23. | :02:28. | |
Osborne was right? That has to be the implication that you would take | :02:29. | :02:35. | |
from it but they are saying that we have to see where we are in one year | :02:36. | :02:39. | |
and so on will stop and then further down the article, quite | :02:40. | :02:44. | |
interestingly, talking about the politics of it, we have Danny | :02:45. | :02:46. | |
Alexander telling us that this confirms again that "our decision" | :02:47. | :02:54. | |
to form the coalition has given the UK the strength and stability to | :02:55. | :02:57. | |
deliver the economic plan, every part of which there is the hallmark | :02:58. | :03:03. | |
of Liberal Democrat very useful top they all want some credit for this | :03:04. | :03:08. | |
in the run`up to the general election. `` Liberal Democrat | :03:09. | :03:14. | |
values. This is very interesting. George Osborne has not jumped on | :03:15. | :03:19. | |
this story. There are quotes from George Osborne everywhere all over | :03:20. | :03:26. | |
these stories normally but this is quite canny of him. He knows that an | :03:27. | :03:32. | |
election is coming up and now is probably not the right moment to | :03:33. | :03:36. | |
make too much of this. There will be plenty of that further down the line | :03:37. | :03:39. | |
as we get closer to the general election next year. The other | :03:40. | :03:43. | |
question is about the credibility of the IMF. We think of it as a gold | :03:44. | :03:50. | |
standard brand, that is the IMF says something, we should believe it. And | :03:51. | :03:55. | |
yet, one year to the next, we have a big change in their own reliability | :03:56. | :04:05. | |
being called into question. One tweet says that some expect the UK | :04:06. | :04:09. | |
economy to be the biggest in the EU by 2050, which raises serious | :04:10. | :04:12. | |
questions for an EU referendum because if that is true, the UK | :04:13. | :04:16. | |
could lead the EU. I don't know where... Inside the EU. It would be | :04:17. | :04:26. | |
a different proposition. It would be. If the Conservatives win the | :04:27. | :04:32. | |
next general election and if there is another referendum in 2017, it | :04:33. | :04:39. | |
will be very interesting to see how this sort of thing plays out. But | :04:40. | :04:45. | |
why is the economy doing so well? One reason is because we're in the | :04:46. | :04:51. | |
EU. And because we get the sort of inward investment that other | :04:52. | :04:54. | |
countries do not have. And the business case against leaving the EU | :04:55. | :04:58. | |
will be as strong as ever despite this. Moving onto the Guardian. | :04:59. | :05:04. | |
Chickens. You will be thrilled with this. A story about the destruction | :05:05. | :05:14. | |
of a school used as a refuge in Gaza. Hundreds of people have been | :05:15. | :05:17. | |
injured in this missile strike, this shelling. Both sides blame each | :05:18. | :05:25. | |
other. Here in the Guardian, it does say that the IDF have responded by | :05:26. | :05:33. | |
targeting the source of the fire, and that in a series of tweets, they | :05:34. | :05:39. | |
later confirmed the deaths were as a result of the Israeli strike. We | :05:40. | :05:43. | |
hear all the time that Israel gives warnings to people who are in | :05:44. | :05:48. | |
targeted areas and that they are pinpoint accurate, but it raises | :05:49. | :05:51. | |
questions over both of those is, that people were not able to get out | :05:52. | :05:56. | |
and for some time, no one was able to find out who had fired this | :05:57. | :06:02. | |
missile. Clearly the UN believes they were not given sufficient time | :06:03. | :06:06. | |
to evacuate civilians from the area. Whether or not the UN accepts | :06:07. | :06:11. | |
that there have been missiles inside their own schools and why they have | :06:12. | :06:15. | |
not done something about it in advance is another question. These | :06:16. | :06:20. | |
stories at the moment don't get onto this. I find it interesting that it | :06:21. | :06:24. | |
used to be that something as as this, people like the IDF would put | :06:25. | :06:32. | |
out a statement. Now they are putting out tweets, which they don't | :06:33. | :06:35. | |
have to update and change as they go along. You would almost think this | :06:36. | :06:41. | |
is too serious for Twitter. I was going to say exactly the same | :06:42. | :06:46. | |
thing. I think that it is really... That any government would use | :06:47. | :06:52. | |
Twitter... But they know people follow it. They do know. They | :06:53. | :06:58. | |
absolutely no. And that is the very reason for making sure that you are | :06:59. | :07:02. | |
right and you are putting out the facts certainly from your point of | :07:03. | :07:06. | |
view. The other thing is that most of the injured were women and | :07:07. | :07:11. | |
children. Among the dead was a mother and her one`year`old baby. | :07:12. | :07:18. | |
And UN staff, of course, as well. Some of them lost their lives in | :07:19. | :07:25. | |
this. Food agency forced to carry out an investigation on chicken | :07:26. | :07:30. | |
factories. The Guardian has been plugging away at this, talking about | :07:31. | :07:34. | |
the standards of hygiene or lack thereof in chicken processing | :07:35. | :07:38. | |
factories. This seems like a resurrection of a story we have been | :07:39. | :07:42. | |
hearing of quite a few times. This talks about how many chickens have | :07:43. | :07:49. | |
this bacteria that none of us particularly want to come into | :07:50. | :07:50. | |
contact with. It looks as if they have almost been | :07:51. | :08:09. | |
pushed into it by the Health Secretary, into doing an enquiry. | :08:10. | :08:16. | |
They do not think it is necessary. I think this could be the beginning of | :08:17. | :08:19. | |
lots and lots of stories about the way in which food is produced. We | :08:20. | :08:27. | |
turn a blind eye to a lot of it. We do turn a blind eye and in other | :08:28. | :08:32. | |
countries they turn both of their eyes in that way. Our standards, I | :08:33. | :08:39. | |
still believe, and the farming lobby believes very strongly, are as high | :08:40. | :08:45. | |
as just about any country in the world. Also interesting, the | :08:46. | :08:50. | |
government has separately been considering proposals to reduce the | :08:51. | :08:58. | |
contamination of fresh chicken. But stories like this do bring matters | :08:59. | :09:01. | |
to a head. Jeremy Hunt's intervention shows. I had chicken | :09:02. | :09:08. | |
for dinner tonight. I will eat chicken again tomorrow. If 66% of | :09:09. | :09:13. | |
the content got this and it has not made me fall and over, why does it | :09:14. | :09:22. | |
matter? `` of chicken. This is Russia under pressure after what has | :09:23. | :09:28. | |
happened in eastern Ukraine, with the plane coming down last week. | :09:29. | :09:33. | |
Retaliation with the threat of greater sanctions. This is the | :09:34. | :09:40. | |
question. How would Russia actually react to David Cameron's threats of | :09:41. | :09:49. | |
significant sanctions? This is a story which addresses that issue. | :09:50. | :09:54. | |
And the Russians do not want to get into a tit for tat reaction. The | :09:55. | :10:01. | |
Russians have their own economic robins. `` problems. The solution | :10:02. | :10:09. | |
for Russia is not very optimistic, put it in its mildly. `` putting it. | :10:10. | :10:17. | |
There was a story we were talking about which shows a downgrading of | :10:18. | :10:20. | |
growth prospects for the Russian economy. This is an idle threat from | :10:21. | :10:26. | |
Russia. Vladimir Putin likes to throw his weight around, but he is | :10:27. | :10:30. | |
the head of a very weak and fragile state. An economy that could not | :10:31. | :10:37. | |
sustain this. He does have a lot of people in parts of Ukraine who are | :10:38. | :10:41. | |
looking to him to look after them. Absolutely. As he has a | :10:42. | :10:46. | |
responsibility to his own people and to the world. I think the Russians | :10:47. | :10:58. | |
are comforted by the situation of the reliance on the Germans and that | :10:59. | :11:07. | |
relationship. How Angela Merkel and the Germans handle this situation | :11:08. | :11:11. | |
going forward is very interesting. Staying with the daily Telegraph. | :11:12. | :11:19. | |
Scotland's gold rush is under way. Medals in the judo. We have been | :11:20. | :11:27. | |
looking at the English edition of the Telegraph. This is the Scottish | :11:28. | :11:31. | |
version. A different selection of photographs. Again, a tussle for | :11:32. | :11:40. | |
prominence on the front pages. The Scottish women were not given a look | :11:41. | :11:45. | |
in on the English edition. I do not think the English are given a | :11:46. | :11:50. | |
built`in on the Scottish version. `` look in. I was always the person | :11:51. | :11:55. | |
accused of making sure that England never played Scotland unless we | :11:56. | :12:02. | |
absolutely had to. There is some truth in that allegation, I have two | :12:03. | :12:11. | |
say. For me, yes, our coaches always wanted to play the game. It `` but | :12:12. | :12:20. | |
recently, the rivalry was so intense. I still remember an England | :12:21. | :12:27. | |
team going to Hamdan, not a happy experience, even though we won. We | :12:28. | :12:32. | |
have got the referendum only a few weeks away on the future of | :12:33. | :12:41. | |
Scotland. This cartoon brings sport and politics together. Glasgow 2014. | :12:42. | :12:49. | |
Two people tangled up in each other in judo. Is this judo, or a | :12:50. | :12:56. | |
discussion about keeping the pound? This is such a ripe subject for all | :12:57. | :13:06. | |
of these puns and rivalry. Absolutely. We often debate the way | :13:07. | :13:09. | |
in which sport gets entangled in politics. And apparently sports | :13:10. | :13:16. | |
people hate that. They want sport to be pure and just about the game. But | :13:17. | :13:20. | |
of course it get involved in politics. I remember the days in | :13:21. | :13:29. | |
which people said, sport and politics must never mix mingle. | :13:30. | :13:38. | |
There was a prime minister, didn't he have a competition with Kevin | :13:39. | :13:49. | |
King? We have seen the Prime Minister on the tennis court. That | :13:50. | :13:54. | |
also caused controversy. Do not mess with the red arrows. This would have | :13:55. | :14:10. | |
been an outrage. The Ministry of Defence have told us that the red | :14:11. | :14:13. | |
arrows are ambassadors for the UK. So it was appropriate that red, | :14:14. | :14:21. | |
white and blue smoke was used. Apparently it was never a formal | :14:22. | :14:30. | |
request. It is a bit of a nonstory. It seems that somebody who was | :14:31. | :14:34. | |
involved in the promotion of the games thought there might have been | :14:35. | :14:37. | |
some suggestion that perhaps the Redwood have been taken out of the | :14:38. | :14:45. | |
red arrows. `` red would. There is also a line in the story. The BBC | :14:46. | :14:50. | |
understands the production company only became aware of the possibility | :14:51. | :14:53. | |
of the change in colour the day before the opening ceremony. This | :14:54. | :15:00. | |
may have gone a little bit further than some are suggesting. One quick | :15:01. | :15:07. | |
look at the Queen. She is at the Commonwealth Games. She has photo | :15:08. | :15:19. | |
bombed a selfies. There she is looking extremely happy. It reminded | :15:20. | :15:32. | |
me of that day. Do not do it again, your Majesty. Thank you for being | :15:33. | :15:38. | |
with us. It is time for Commonwealth Games Sportsday. | :15:39. | :15:40. |
