:00:13. > :00:15.Hello, and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers

:00:16. > :00:18.With me are James Rampton, features writer for The Independent,

:00:19. > :00:36.An oversight that you end it did not coordinate outfits. I apologise.

:00:37. > :00:40.The Express leads with news of a breakthrough

:00:41. > :00:44.The Metro reports on claims of atrocities in Iraq carried out

:00:45. > :00:48.The Telegraph has a picture of a Yazidi woman cradling her child

:00:49. > :00:51.The story to the right focuses on Government plans to clamp

:00:52. > :00:53.down on trusts designed to avoid inheritance tax.

:00:54. > :00:56.The Guardian says at least half of the 40,000 people besieged

:00:57. > :01:00.by jihadists in northern Iraq have escaped in the past 24 hours,

:01:01. > :01:05.aided by Kurdish rebels who crossed from Syria to rescue them.

:01:06. > :01:07.The Mail says the number of foreign criminals avoiding

:01:08. > :01:14.Kellie Maloney is on the front of the Mirror, talking about her

:01:15. > :01:20.Maloney is on the Sun's front page too.

:01:21. > :01:22.And the Independent reports on claims that women

:01:23. > :01:33.and children have been buried alive by Islamists in Iraq.

:01:34. > :01:43.We will begin with that story. Women and children are buried alive,

:01:44. > :01:48.Islamic extremists putting 500 people in mass graves in Iraq. Just

:01:49. > :01:52.when you thought you could not read about any more atrocities, here we

:01:53. > :01:59.have this story, which as you are reading it, you cannot believe what

:02:00. > :02:02.you are seeing. Shocking is a word overused in journalism, but it

:02:03. > :02:06.really does apply. I was astounded when I read the details of this. 500

:02:07. > :02:15.people, including women and children, with 300 women allegedly

:02:16. > :02:20.kidnapped and sent into slavery, and 1500 UCD is still stuck on this

:02:21. > :02:25.mountain. They are at risk from the elements. `` Yazidis. It is

:02:26. > :02:28.extraordinary what they are going through. I am glad we're doing

:02:29. > :02:34.something about it. I think more must done. These people don't have

:02:35. > :02:40.an army. The very fact that the Kurdish rebels have come across the

:02:41. > :02:45.mountains, and other persecuted race of people, but now they have their

:02:46. > :02:51.own territory, they can assist. And the fact that these people felt the

:02:52. > :02:59.best option for them was to run to Mt. No food and no water. `` Mt. It

:03:00. > :03:06.is a measure of the peril they face. The sun is punishing. Even if the

:03:07. > :03:11.jihadist I get them, the elements will. That is why we need to do

:03:12. > :03:19.something quickly. It is a true catastrophe. The Mac when you see

:03:20. > :03:22.things like this, why are people not stepping in? By a then not

:03:23. > :03:28.coordinating this effort? That is what they are there for. Iraq has

:03:29. > :03:33.asked the USA for help, and many people in Iraq, although they think

:03:34. > :03:36.America is to blame for the mess the Iraqis in politically, they are at

:03:37. > :03:43.least coming to the rescue they asked them to do so. The issue is we

:03:44. > :03:47.have a league of Arab nations that need to stand up for what is right

:03:48. > :03:51.about is line and put that forward. This is not that is not Islam I

:03:52. > :04:00.know. The jihadist what they are doing, we need people drawn from the

:04:01. > :04:05.locality to support these people. They need to stepping from the area.

:04:06. > :04:10.They don't need to call on a bummer to sort out this mess. The Iraqi

:04:11. > :04:19.army has not stood up to the March of the Islamic State. `` President

:04:20. > :04:25.Obama. The peshmerga seemed to be doing a better job. We saw a

:04:26. > :04:29.peshmerga commander saying we do need the UN, and the president said

:04:30. > :04:33.he would not be a matter of weeks but months. He is a loosely

:04:34. > :04:40.unwilling to get involved in a boots on the ground operation, that

:04:41. > :04:43.dreaded word mission. George W Bush catastrophe years ago is again

:04:44. > :04:50.hanging over him. But something must be done. That is a terribly glib

:04:51. > :04:56.phrase, but something must be done. It is the horror in hell of being

:04:57. > :05:02.buried alive. We as a people and nation have to step in and do

:05:03. > :05:06.something. Once it happens once, it can happen again. Let's move on to

:05:07. > :05:14.the Daily Express. A bit more cheerful, at least. I don't seem to

:05:15. > :05:20.have this on the right order in my stack. I am not very organised. I

:05:21. > :05:23.know what the story is. Boris Johnson, I became a to besmirch it

:05:24. > :05:37.is of being Prime Minister. Shock horror. `` a Mayor to boost my

:05:38. > :05:41.chance. I know people in Henley were crying when he came to be the London

:05:42. > :05:46.mayor, but the issue is that Boris always had this plan. Do you know

:05:47. > :05:55.that for a fact? Have you chatted to him personally? Unfortunately for

:05:56. > :06:08.the other candidates that are eyeing up the big seat, he has laid down

:06:09. > :06:14.the gauntlet. He is not without being prone to saying the wrong

:06:15. > :06:18.thing. Any other politician, that would've been a career ending

:06:19. > :06:25.incident. He just once on and keeps going on, impervious to any

:06:26. > :06:28.criticism. `` Swans on. Whenever issues you may have with these

:06:29. > :06:33.policies, you have to say he is the most fantastic self publicist, and

:06:34. > :06:37.that may be why 34% of Tories believe he should be the next Tory

:06:38. > :06:43.leader. 19 points ahead of Theresa May, who was the previous favourite.

:06:44. > :06:51.She has blown `` been blowing out of her shoes. He was asked what he had

:06:52. > :06:57.voters may, and he said you have to keep showing relentless energy. He

:06:58. > :07:04.is bringing the game of brains back to Westminster. `` game of thrones.

:07:05. > :07:16.He would be on in international stage on a daily basis. This is my

:07:17. > :07:19.personal opinion, but I think he has not convinced me he has the

:07:20. > :07:25.responsibility and Gravett is for that job. The idea of him with his

:07:26. > :07:30.finger on the nuclear button terrifies me. Lots of people love

:07:31. > :07:36.him. `` repeaters. Adobe key is a potential Prime Minister. A

:07:37. > :07:47.watermelon smile. I will say no more. Let's look at the Daily

:07:48. > :07:50.Telegraph. An interesting story. People to pay in intelligence tax

:07:51. > :07:55.was still living. It is a new drive to avoid tax avoidance planning,

:07:56. > :07:59.when people try to reduce the impact of inheritance tax before they die,

:08:00. > :08:04.and in assets over to their children. We will cut to the

:08:05. > :08:10.legality in a minute. I'm sure you can enlighten us. I'm glad we have a

:08:11. > :08:19.boy here. It would bring in a few quid to the Treasury. `` more you.

:08:20. > :08:26.Perhaps be this headline, it is a good PR move by NHMRC, because it

:08:27. > :08:29.was a huge funeral a few months back about Gary Barlow and other

:08:30. > :08:32.celebrities allegedly using these tax shelter schemes, and I think

:08:33. > :08:36.that created a lot of bad feeling that rich people were apparently

:08:37. > :08:41.able to dodge some aspects of taxation, and to avoid things that

:08:42. > :08:44.other people weren't able to avoid. That was certainly the perception.

:08:45. > :08:48.Whether that was true or not, I don't know. Knowing this down is a

:08:49. > :08:52.good idea, because it will really convince people they are trying to

:08:53. > :08:57.do something about it. `` nailing this down. The Mac before you die,

:08:58. > :09:01.you hand over the keys to your house to your child, but if you die within

:09:02. > :09:07.seven years, you are caught by this new rule anyway. Lee Mack the best

:09:08. > :09:10.thing about it, it will stop that, seek on hand over the keys to your

:09:11. > :09:15.house, and if you die within seven years, it they will catch you. They

:09:16. > :09:19.will lengthen that time. Doing have to pay market rates rent to your

:09:20. > :09:24.children if you want to carry on living in a house having handed the

:09:25. > :09:30.keys over? You died. Anyone in their 50s or a bit younger, they need to

:09:31. > :09:37.start handing over those houses a bit earlier. For how much longer?

:09:38. > :09:41.We're not sure. They are trying to close the loophole. If you handed

:09:42. > :09:46.over as a gift, you will be trapped. White baby a clever tax consultant

:09:47. > :09:54.who will get around the law? `` won't there be. We were told not to

:09:55. > :09:58.drink two days in a row last week. Now they are suggesting that wine,

:09:59. > :10:02.beer and spirits should have a health warning put on them

:10:03. > :10:09.compulsorily, like on cigarette packets. Doesn't really work? A lot

:10:10. > :10:14.of people have given up smoking, haven't they? In Australia, there is

:10:15. > :10:19.evidence that the graphic pictures of lung damage they put on the front

:10:20. > :10:22.of packages did help, but adds to this general sense of a nanny state,

:10:23. > :10:29.and the things we are not allowed to do. I know it is an extremely prop

:10:30. > :10:38.`` big problem, and the figures for alcohol abuse are shocking. Liver

:10:39. > :10:43.disease amongst under 30s doubled. ?21 billion is the cost to the

:10:44. > :10:47.economy. Those are shocking figures. Has an part of the problem being the

:10:48. > :10:55.legislative change that brought in broader jinking hours, because I

:10:56. > :11:00.remember you could not buy alcohol on a Sunday. `` drinking hours.

:11:01. > :11:08.Perhaps those hours have contributed. How much is being made

:11:09. > :11:16.from the tax on alcohol? It is the collateral damage from the issue of

:11:17. > :11:23.sobriety. It is the domestic violence. It is the drink`driving.

:11:24. > :11:28.It is the general degrading. We think it is a bit of a laugh, having

:11:29. > :11:36.one too many? Lee Mack and especially the girls, Winer o'clock

:11:37. > :11:40.going around Twitter. We know the tobacco lobby has been fighting

:11:41. > :11:44.against plain packaging and so forth. It may well be that the

:11:45. > :11:47.drinks lobby will step in and try to influence the government not to put

:11:48. > :11:52.these warning on, because they want to sell more of their products. At

:11:53. > :11:57.this moment in time, I think it is a step too far. Maybe looking at how

:11:58. > :12:01.history will go with these under 30s and whether they will be dead by 50,

:12:02. > :12:10.we may have to step in with proper legislation. More foreign convicts

:12:11. > :12:13.win the right to stay. It is the number of foreign criminals avoiding

:12:14. > :12:17.deportation rose 50% last year despite repeated pledges by the

:12:18. > :12:21.government to kick them out. The trouble with these is if they are

:12:22. > :12:28.winning the right to stay, citing their human rights to a family life,

:12:29. > :12:34.laws apply to everyone, don't they? Is irrespective of whether you

:12:35. > :12:40.committed a crime or not. The issue is deciding how foreign are they?

:12:41. > :12:44.Add AEEU National 's who have been hearing in caught doing the wrong

:12:45. > :12:51.thing, and have the right to stay? `` are they EU nationals? Or are

:12:52. > :12:55.they from the Commonwealth, from Jamaica? That has been a problem in

:12:56. > :12:58.the past. Or are they polished? We don't know, and again in the Daily

:12:59. > :13:13.Mail, the idea of foreign. raise a lot of questions. The other

:13:14. > :13:18.is the European kon European Convention on Human Rights. I think

:13:19. > :13:22.UKIP is very anti`that as well. It may be another that the Tory

:13:23. > :13:27.backbenches are rumbling about. This is an issue that the Tories will

:13:28. > :13:30.have to appear tough. It is a get`tough`issue for them. That is it

:13:31. > :13:48.for the papers this hour. If you have a comment you want to make, we

:13:49. > :13:55.encourage you to contribute. You can Tweet to us me. More air strikes are

:13:56. > :13:58.launched by America against Islamic militants in Iraq. Coming up next,

:13:59. > :14:00.it is time for Click.
