diving and we will show you how gymnast Max Whitlock landed his | :00:00. | :00:07. | |
second goal of the games, with Dan Keatings from Scotland taking | :00:08. | :00:09. | |
silver. That's all in Sportsday in 15 minutes after the papers. | :00:10. | :00:17. | |
Welcome back to our look ahead at what the Papers will be bringing us | :00:18. | :00:24. | |
tomorrow `` papers. Jennie Bond and Lynn Faulds Wood are with me. Let's | :00:25. | :00:27. | |
go through the front pages, starting with the Metro. It starts with an | :00:28. | :00:33. | |
exclusive interview with a London doctor who gave up his job to | :00:34. | :00:38. | |
volunteer in Sierra Leone. He said doctors are struggling to cope with | :00:39. | :00:41. | |
treating the victims of the Ebola virus. Flames billowing out of | :00:42. | :00:44. | |
Eastbourne Pier dominate the cover of the Telegraph. The paper also has | :00:45. | :00:48. | |
a warning that on one of the busiest weekends of the year, holidaymakers | :00:49. | :00:50. | |
face flying without their luggage from Gatwick Airport because of | :00:51. | :00:53. | |
staff shortages. The Express also has a photo of black smoke and | :00:54. | :00:56. | |
flames engulfing Eastbourne Pier. But its main story is Conservative | :00:57. | :00:59. | |
hopes that the 40p higher rate tax threshold could be raised, if they | :01:00. | :01:13. | |
win the next election. The Financial Times says the incoming European | :01:14. | :01:15. | |
Commission, President Jean Claude Junker, is considering a new EU | :01:16. | :01:18. | |
Financial Services Tsar, who would be charged with regulating the City | :01:19. | :01:21. | |
of London and ensuring financial stability. But the Guardian leads | :01:22. | :01:29. | |
with the Israeli attack on a United Nations school in Gaza, killing at | :01:30. | :01:32. | |
least fifteen people who were taking shelter from the violence. The paper | :01:33. | :01:35. | |
quotes UN officials: 'The World Stands Disgraced'. The Mail says | :01:36. | :01:38. | |
that Eastbourne Pier was an 'icon of the English seaside'. The paper also | :01:39. | :01:41. | |
claims that an NHS hospital was forced to pay a nurse ?1,800 to | :01:42. | :01:44. | |
cover a shift on a Bank Holiday. Another dramatic picture of that | :01:45. | :01:48. | |
pier in flames is on the cover of the Independent. It also claims | :01:49. | :01:51. | |
Germany and Russia have been working on a secret plan to try to end | :01:52. | :01:57. | |
international tensions over Ukraine. And finally, The Times asks: Is it | :01:58. | :02:00. | |
the end of Eastbourne Pier? The paper also says that energy firms | :02:01. | :02:04. | |
are failing to pass on huge falls in the costs of wholesale oil and gas | :02:05. | :02:05. | |
to their customers. The horror of what is going on in | :02:06. | :02:28. | |
Gaza and Israel is beyond words. It leaves you speechless, really. The | :02:29. | :02:34. | |
Guardian has got it right. A picture of a little girl. It is a great | :02:35. | :02:38. | |
picture. It is so poignant, so emotive. A little girl splattered | :02:39. | :02:46. | |
with blood. It could be much more graphic. But the sorrow on this | :02:47. | :02:52. | |
little girl's face, the blood on her dress, it is profoundly moving. | :02:53. | :02:57. | |
Perhaps today has been the worst day of recent weeks. I am just saddened, | :02:58. | :03:07. | |
really. Saddened that Eastbourne Pier has knocked off the front page. | :03:08. | :03:14. | |
The UN are saying that this is a disgrace to the world. A serious | :03:15. | :03:21. | |
violation of international law. We know that terrible things are | :03:22. | :03:24. | |
happening on either side. But the innocents caught in the middle. This | :03:25. | :03:28. | |
view when school is not the first one to be hit. 3300 people, women | :03:29. | :03:36. | |
and children mainly. People who have been told to get out of their houses | :03:37. | :03:41. | |
by the military because the area was going to be hit. They thought they | :03:42. | :03:46. | |
were in a safe haven. 40 of them were sleeping in one classroom when | :03:47. | :03:49. | |
it was hit. Just to make that point, a lot of these papers have a | :03:50. | :03:56. | |
picture of Eastbourne Pier. What does that say? Is that the | :03:57. | :04:02. | |
depressing familiarity of this conflict? We must not let ourselves | :04:03. | :04:07. | |
become too familiar with this. It has got to be on every front page. | :04:08. | :04:13. | |
After such a dreadful day. Not only the attack on the school, but the | :04:14. | :04:17. | |
attack on the market. More people were injured and killed. Credit to | :04:18. | :04:22. | |
television news, it has been carrying pictures of small babies | :04:23. | :04:26. | |
being buried or carried in severe injury. How can small children | :04:27. | :04:34. | |
recover from this kind of bombardment? What kind of hatred are | :04:35. | :04:41. | |
we breeding? That was supposed to be a ceasefire today. People went out | :04:42. | :04:50. | |
shopping. They got hit. I know the rockets are being fired from areas | :04:51. | :04:58. | |
where people are, but it is just terrible. It is all men. I was | :04:59. | :05:05. | |
making this point earlier. We must stop this. That is one of the most | :05:06. | :05:14. | |
depressing things. There is also this talk of a ceasefire, but it | :05:15. | :05:19. | |
seems to be meaningless. They are so entrenched in their positions. I do | :05:20. | :05:25. | |
not know what we can believe and who can we believe. In the Guardian, | :05:26. | :05:31. | |
there is a story deeper in the paper. Apparently they are not close | :05:32. | :05:39. | |
to a ceasefire, despite the mounting pressure. We are getting nowhere. | :05:40. | :05:48. | |
Hamas are not close either. It is going to get worse before it gets | :05:49. | :05:54. | |
better. I am going to move us onto the front page of the Telegraph. It | :05:55. | :06:02. | |
also features Eastbourne Pier. But the Archbishop of Canterbury has | :06:03. | :06:05. | |
been talking about the situation in the Middle East. Justin Welby, a man | :06:06. | :06:11. | |
who I have quite a lot of time for, he has been making a lot of sense to | :06:12. | :06:17. | |
me. We need some wisdom in this situation. He is talking about a | :06:18. | :06:20. | |
rise in anti`Semitic attacks in Britain. There has been a doubling | :06:21. | :06:29. | |
of the incidents. Apparently we are talking about verbal abuse, | :06:30. | :06:34. | |
vandalism, that sort of thing. And actual assaults as well. He is | :06:35. | :06:38. | |
accusing both sides of breaking the rules of war. War does have certain | :06:39. | :06:45. | |
areas that are meant to be sacrosanct. Why don't they just | :06:46. | :06:58. | |
somehow, we have got to get both sides together. We have got to stop | :06:59. | :07:04. | |
this. He is saying there must be hope given to the Palestinians. | :07:05. | :07:12. | |
People who have no hope will be violent. Israel have to understand | :07:13. | :07:16. | |
that they will continue to understand while the Palestinians | :07:17. | :07:23. | |
are without hope. Let us move on to a different story. In the Times, | :07:24. | :07:30. | |
they have the picture of the Black Smoke billowing out of Eastbourne | :07:31. | :07:35. | |
Pier. But they also have the story about energy firms doubling profits. | :07:36. | :07:40. | |
Huge falls in the cost of oil and gas are not being passed on. I | :07:41. | :07:45. | |
switched energy suppliers and we managed to halve our bill. The last | :07:46. | :07:56. | |
lot, we sure it did not sign onto a standard agreement, but that is what | :07:57. | :08:00. | |
we were on. If you are not on some kind of saving, switch. Ask how much | :08:01. | :08:11. | |
different companies will charge if you switch. I finally switched. I | :08:12. | :08:22. | |
went on something that was fixed. It is really complicated. It depends on | :08:23. | :08:29. | |
how long you fetch four. I am benefiting. The energy companies are | :08:30. | :08:37. | |
saying, an election as `` is coming. They are blaming Ed Miliband for | :08:38. | :08:47. | |
this. I can remember in the past, the companies have not passed drops | :08:48. | :08:52. | |
onto us. There are sheltering behind the fact an election is coming. It | :08:53. | :08:59. | |
makes your blood boil. You say you're going to have a freeze, why | :09:00. | :09:03. | |
can't you legislate to, you must pass these cost reductions on. It | :09:04. | :09:10. | |
must be possible. And clear bills as well, please. And we can go on to | :09:11. | :09:20. | |
Eastbourne Pier. Fantastic pictures on nearly every front page. I am not | :09:21. | :09:27. | |
quite sure why it is getting quite such prominence. We have been a | :09:28. | :09:32. | |
starter kit catchment to our peers. `` aid the spellcheck attraction to | :09:33. | :09:40. | |
our piers. They should restore it to its former glory. There was a 900 | :09:41. | :09:48. | |
seat music room and ballroom. How much nicer would it be to restore it | :09:49. | :09:52. | |
to that instead of the amusement arcade which it is now? There are no | :09:53. | :10:04. | |
longer economic. Now a lot of the piers I have visited are mainly slot | :10:05. | :10:14. | |
machines. I just wonder if we are being a bit middle`class. A lot of | :10:15. | :10:23. | |
people like these things. There was one in the centre of Richmond. I do | :10:24. | :10:28. | |
not know, I do not play slot machines. You are possibly right. I | :10:29. | :10:34. | |
remember I managed to crack the code for the fruit machine and get at | :10:35. | :10:44. | |
least half a crown. We are running out of time. I want to take you to | :10:45. | :10:48. | |
the Express. There are headline is, millions are set for tax cuts. There | :10:49. | :10:56. | |
is a election coming up. All of these women being put into positions | :10:57. | :11:02. | |
of ministerial power. Now they are talking about struggling families | :11:03. | :11:08. | |
who pay 40% tax and they are going to change the threshold. I am not | :11:09. | :11:13. | |
sure how that helps poor people. They do not pay 40% tax. It is a | :11:14. | :11:21. | |
squeezed middle. It is a squeezed uppermiddle. David Cameron has said | :11:22. | :11:27. | |
he would like to raise the threshold. But he also says he | :11:28. | :11:32. | |
cannot make that promise. Nice headline. In terms of the actual | :11:33. | :11:39. | |
story, when that threshold was introduced, one in 20 were paying | :11:40. | :11:49. | |
the rate. Now it is fired in sex. `` five in the six. | :11:50. | :11:55. | |
When you put up things like VAT, it falls on poor people. If he was | :11:56. | :12:05. | |
interested in being fairer, he would look at the half of the country that | :12:06. | :12:11. | |
are poorer. People may say the economy is recovering, that people | :12:12. | :12:16. | |
say that their living standards have not, but all and they are suffering. | :12:17. | :12:24. | |
`` gone up at all. Thank you so much for coming. Do stay with us. At | :12:25. | :12:36. | |
midnight, we will have much more on the situation in Gaza of the United | :12:37. | :12:44. | |
Nations school came under attack. `` after a. Also coming up is the | :12:45. | :12:53. | |
Commonwealth Games Sportsday. That is why from Glasgow. | :12:54. | :12:55. |
