:00:00. > :00:13.papers. Hello and welcome to
:00:14. > :00:16.our look ahead to what the papers With me are Kate Devlin,
:00:17. > :00:19.the Westminster Correspondent for the Herald, and Amol Rajan,
:00:20. > :00:26.editor of the Independent. The Metro's front page has more
:00:27. > :00:33.on the police search of a property in Berkshire owned
:00:34. > :00:36.by Sir Cliff Richard in connection with an allegation of a sexual
:00:37. > :00:42.nature dating back to the 1980s. Sir Cliff says the accusation
:00:43. > :00:44.is "completely false". "Eurozone recovery shudders to a halt" is the
:00:45. > :00:47.headline in the Financial Times, and it reports calls on
:00:48. > :00:50.the European Central Bank to take The Express also has Sir Cliff
:00:51. > :00:54.Richard on the front page, and says That story also features on front
:00:55. > :01:04.page of The Daily Telegraph. The paper also has the headline
:01:05. > :01:07."Thousands saved from Iraq death Finally, The Guardian reports
:01:08. > :01:10.that the UK is ready to arm Kurds And it pictures teachers jumping
:01:11. > :01:23.with joy after the success Let's begin with the Metro. We
:01:24. > :01:26.clearly can't linger on it for too long as there is only a certain
:01:27. > :01:32.amount we can say. The headline is Sir Cliff's fury over child sex
:01:33. > :01:37.police swoop. This was one of his properties in Berkshire being
:01:38. > :01:40.raided, says the paper, the police. There was no arrest. Sir Cliff is in
:01:41. > :01:47.Portugal at the moment with his sister. He says he has been aware of
:01:48. > :01:52.allegations made against him, but he says they are completely false.
:01:53. > :01:57.Let's move on to the Guardian. The headline is, UK is ready to arm
:01:58. > :02:04.Kurds. Move to help forces facing Isis, or Islamic State, draws
:02:05. > :02:08.Britain back into the crisis. Kate, we firstly heard the government
:02:09. > :02:11.saying, we are just going to be providing humanitarian assistance.
:02:12. > :02:16.No suggestion of any military involvement, but now the story is
:02:17. > :02:19.moving further? It is. Downing Street hinted at this on Monday,
:02:20. > :02:23.when they were asked if they could be involved in arming Kurds. They
:02:24. > :02:26.suggested that they would look at this kind of thing, but this seems
:02:27. > :02:35.to be a clear moving on from that position. You are right, it comes at
:02:36. > :02:40.a time when Number Ten has very much tried to emphasise that we would be
:02:41. > :02:48.involved in the humanitarian end of things. This moves on from the
:02:49. > :02:52.immediate crisis, and starts to look at how we are going to try and
:02:53. > :02:58.tackle Isis, or is Islamic State, in the longer term. It is desperately
:02:59. > :03:07.trying to keep the country together. There is the immediate humanitarian
:03:08. > :03:11.thing, with all these Yazidis who need to be held in the short term.
:03:12. > :03:14.Iraq is a country which has seized to exist in any meaningful sense.
:03:15. > :03:17.This is about working out what on earth we can do to try and
:03:18. > :03:22.consolidate the Middle East and stop it becoming a power vacuum. It seems
:03:23. > :03:26.to be a strategic decision that the people who are best able to resist
:03:27. > :03:30.the Islamic State advance other PKK, and there was a feeling that by
:03:31. > :03:34.arming them, we can do something about it. It is terrifying to look
:03:35. > :03:42.at a map of what used to be Syria and Iraq. You have a quasi state
:03:43. > :03:46.being set up by these fascists. A caliphate, as they call it. It
:03:47. > :03:52.sounds so grand. When it is actually sinister and nasty. Which is not to
:03:53. > :03:57.say that this is not controversial. The Guardian points out that the UK
:03:58. > :04:02.once again bears responsibility for deaths in Iraq, and that will be of
:04:03. > :04:06.interest to the public. The moment when troops on the ground are put in
:04:07. > :04:13.physical danger, that is a much bigger political gambit. This was
:04:14. > :04:18.initially about high`tech equipment and surveillance and technical
:04:19. > :04:22.support, which is a very different cup of tea from saying, here are UK
:04:23. > :04:27.soldiers who are going to be putting their lives in danger. We have not
:04:28. > :04:30.got there yet, but it feels like the momentum and the threat from Isis
:04:31. > :04:34.are such that that could come further down the line. The United
:04:35. > :04:38.States are doing all they can to make sure they do not have to send
:04:39. > :04:42.troops in, although they did talk about the siege of Mount Sinjar
:04:43. > :04:47.having been broken, thanks to to some kind of US personnel. It was
:04:48. > :04:51.not as bad as they initially thought. President Obama got elected
:04:52. > :04:57.off the back of saying Iraq was a dumb war. He has been in charge of
:04:58. > :05:00.try to take American troops out of Iraq. He does not want to be the guy
:05:01. > :05:07.going into his final years as president his second term, sending
:05:08. > :05:12.more troops in. One quick Newsline on this is that Nouri al`Maliki, who
:05:13. > :05:16.has been the leader of Iraq, was deposed. He resisted it and has said
:05:17. > :05:19.tonight that he is actually going to step down. There is a replacement
:05:20. > :05:23.for him, who we hope will be more effective at keeping Iraq more
:05:24. > :05:29.stable. Yes, that came as a surprise to a lot of us, because he had been
:05:30. > :05:34.holding out for a third term. It was inevitable. Let's move on to the
:05:35. > :05:38.FT. Eurozone recovery shudders to a halt. Flat growth prompts calls for
:05:39. > :05:43.action by the European Central Bank. This is Germany's economy not doing
:05:44. > :05:50.as well as they had hoped in the last quarter, and France not putting
:05:51. > :05:55.on any growth in quarters one and two. And Italy. It is astonishing
:05:56. > :06:01.that we have had this huge crisis for a long time, going back five or
:06:02. > :06:09.six years. We thought it was something that attached itself to
:06:10. > :06:12.Europe's periphery, countries like Portugal. But Germany, France and
:06:13. > :06:17.Italy, three of the biggest economies, have not grown in the
:06:18. > :06:21.last two quarters, which is astonishing. After the crisis, there
:06:22. > :06:25.was a lot of quick action by policymakers, lots of fiscal and
:06:26. > :06:31.monetary stimulus to try and help sort the euro area out. The FT have
:06:32. > :06:36.an editorial saying, for goodness' sake, let's not sit on our hands,
:06:37. > :06:44.let's do something like wanted to easing to try and drive the economy.
:06:45. > :06:49.But one of the people driving that was Germany, the beating heart of
:06:50. > :06:57.the Eurozone economy. The problem is, with the dismal numbers coming
:06:58. > :07:02.out of Germany, does she lose her authority, which was very
:07:03. > :07:05.instrumental last time? This is all in the context of incredibly grim
:07:06. > :07:09.stuff to Europe's East, which is Ukraine and Russia. There are
:07:10. > :07:15.currently 300 vehicles being sent from Moscow in a weird convoy
:07:16. > :07:20.towards Ukraine's eastern edge. There is a feeling that actually,
:07:21. > :07:24.war might be about to erupt along Europe's eastern edge, which will
:07:25. > :07:29.have a huge effect on gas prices and so on. It feels suddenly like Europe
:07:30. > :07:32.has plunged into turmoil. Reading further into this article, I did not
:07:33. > :07:37.realise this, the Netherlands economy actually contracted at the
:07:38. > :07:41.beginning of this year. So as you say, it is those economies that you
:07:42. > :07:47.normally think were stable and robust, even they are suffering. And
:07:48. > :07:52.this is at a time when you have an implement in Spain `` use an
:07:53. > :07:57.implement in Spain is over 50%. There was a feeling in Britain that
:07:58. > :08:04.maybe we are through the worst of it. This would suggest that some of
:08:05. > :08:07.the systemic problems that 2007 showed up around Europe and the way
:08:08. > :08:12.its banks were operating have not gone away and we need urgent action
:08:13. > :08:16.to address that. And there are still some banks teetering on the brink in
:08:17. > :08:20.these countries. The problem is, while we think it is great that we
:08:21. > :08:24.have managed to recover and we are leading the way, Europe will be a
:08:25. > :08:29.drag because we are also interconnected. There is a political
:08:30. > :08:34.dimension, which is that lots of people on the right of British
:08:35. > :08:37.politics argue that Britain ought to remain outside the euro. This is a
:08:38. > :08:43.vindication for them that it is a good thing that we were not dragged
:08:44. > :08:50.into this euro hell. Let's move on to the Daily Express. Page seven,
:08:51. > :08:53.patrol boats on stand`by to head off channel migrants. Apparently, there
:08:54. > :08:56.is a feat of Border Force ship that are going to try to intercept
:08:57. > :09:04.migrants trying to reach Britain from Calais in small boats. We have
:09:05. > :09:09.seen boats of Lampedusa, the island of Italy's coast, having to do this
:09:10. > :09:13.on a daily basis. Malta is being swamped by people desperate to get
:09:14. > :09:18.away. But they have clearly come a very long way if they have managed
:09:19. > :09:23.to cross the English Channel. Absolutely. They are desperate to
:09:24. > :09:27.get here if they are crossing one of the most busy shipping channels in
:09:28. > :09:36.the world in these tiny little thingies `` beanies `` dinghies. It
:09:37. > :09:43.looks like a toy. A child's toy that you would use in the swimming pool.
:09:44. > :09:48.It is a perfect story for my comrades at the express. It has got
:09:49. > :09:58.war, patriotism, migrants. And these huge military vessels. The idea that
:09:59. > :10:03.what we have to do is used military vessels strikes me as mildly
:10:04. > :10:08.ludicrous. But the Daily Express are worried that these people are going
:10:09. > :10:11.to take their jobs and so forth. But what happens to them when they are
:10:12. > :10:16.picked up? They enter an asylum system, which we have got incredibly
:10:17. > :10:19.good at running in this country. If they are fit for asylum, they are
:10:20. > :10:23.given asylum. If not, we send them back. But because our asylum system
:10:24. > :10:28.has been so terribly underfunded and badly run, you end up with a lot of
:10:29. > :10:32.people who either end up becoming illegal migrants, or they are stuck
:10:33. > :10:36.in asylum centres for years. If we could sort that out, this would be
:10:37. > :10:41.less of a problem. But this is going to be the kind of story that many
:10:42. > :10:44.people will point to, because we know immigration will be a massive
:10:45. > :10:49.subject in the run`up to the next general election. Absolutely, and
:10:50. > :10:54.this kind of thing, stopping boats with refugees on them from trying to
:10:55. > :10:59.land, has dominated Australian politics for the last ten years. One
:11:00. > :11:03.of the people involved in that has been Lynton Crosby, who is now
:11:04. > :11:06.advising David Cameron. It has had a really divisive impact on Australian
:11:07. > :11:11.politics. But actually, you could argue that it has very much help
:11:12. > :11:16.them right in that country to power. Kate has just come back from
:11:17. > :11:24.Australia. I am not envious at all(!). The Daily Telegraph
:11:25. > :11:27.front`page has a couple of stories. Everyone was so shocked earlier in
:11:28. > :11:31.the week when we heard that Robin Williams had died and it appeared
:11:32. > :11:38.that he had taken his own life. Now, his wife says he was in the early
:11:39. > :11:42.stages of Parkinson's disease. And this may have worn a relation on the
:11:43. > :11:47.fact that he chose to commit suicide, we don't know. Very
:11:48. > :11:50.difficult for somebody like him to have to face up to that and tell the
:11:51. > :11:54.public about. And very difficult for his family, because his wife has had
:11:55. > :12:02.to say he was sober when this happened. So in the 48 hours after
:12:03. > :12:07.losing her husband, she is having to make very public statements about
:12:08. > :12:12.what happened. I feel for the family. It must be very difficult.
:12:13. > :12:16.And above that, the abuse on Twitter. It is astonishing. You look
:12:17. > :12:20.at social media and think, what sort of person feels that the thing they
:12:21. > :12:23.really want to do when Robin Williams commits suicide is abuse
:12:24. > :12:26.his daughter? There was a story it today when his daughter thought
:12:27. > :12:31.about leaving Twitter because of the abuse she got. She closed her
:12:32. > :12:35.account for a while. It is astonishing that social media, which
:12:36. > :12:41.gives us so many opportunities and has been so in reaching in so many
:12:42. > :12:45.ways, also means it is quite hard to have a private family tragedy these
:12:46. > :12:48.days. Robin Williams is clearly an exceptional case, but the fact that
:12:49. > :12:51.his wife has to manage this media operation at a time when she should
:12:52. > :13:06.be grieving for her husband is appalling. This is the story about
:13:07. > :13:09.A`level results. Record numbers of students going to university even
:13:10. > :13:20.though there has been a small drop in the grades and no one seems to be
:13:21. > :13:27.troubled about that? It is interesting as has happened under a
:13:28. > :13:32.Conservative led government. They oppose the Tony Blair opinion of 50%
:13:33. > :13:40.of children going to university. It will cost a lot of money. One way we
:13:41. > :13:42.are supposed to be providing for these children under student loans
:13:43. > :13:46.is that we were going to sell off the student loan book. Vince Cable
:13:47. > :13:54.admitted that was not going to happen. There is a danger here. On
:13:55. > :13:59.the other hand, investing in education is a good thing. The guide
:14:00. > :14:06.for whom this is bittersweet is Michael Gove, the former Education
:14:07. > :14:13.Secretary. These results are a triumph for him and he wanted more
:14:14. > :14:15.people doing tough subjects. Lots more people are doing those partly
:14:16. > :14:24.because they have taken up the baccalaureate. He also wanted more
:14:25. > :14:27.people going to university but he wanted to expand access and there
:14:28. > :14:34.seems to be a suggestion from these statistics that has happened. It is
:14:35. > :14:38.sad for him. He wanted people getting more top grades and that has
:14:39. > :14:43.happened. He will be looking at the headlines tomorrow morning and
:14:44. > :14:53.thinking that should have been his glory. It is time gone. Just a
:14:54. > :15:00.little voice in my ear! That is all from the papers. It is a sign of
:15:01. > :15:05.madness, Boyce is in your ear! My guests will join me at 11:30pm.
:15:06. > :15:17.Thank you both for now. Stay with us on BBC News. We will focus on the
:15:18. > :15:20.police search of a part went `` of an apartment belonging to Sir Cliff
:15:21. > :15:27.Richard. Now it is time for Sportsday.
:15:28. > :15:34.Two days before the first ball is even kicked, the Premier League
:15:35. > :15:37.Crystal Palace boss Tony Pulis has parted company
