:00:00. > :00:00.gold medal for Adam Gemili. And the latest from the Oval where England

:00:00. > :00:00.got the final test against India off to a fine start. All that in 20

:00:00. > :00:22.minutes. Welcome to the look ahead at what

:00:23. > :00:31.the papers are bringing us tomorrow. With me are Kevin Schofield and the

:00:32. > :00:39.broadcaster and author. First let's have a look at the sneak preview of

:00:40. > :00:42.some of the front pages. The Financial Times says Ukraine

:00:43. > :00:49.destroyed a Russian column that passed on to its country. The

:00:50. > :00:58.Independent has a picture of a woman and her sick husband, succumbed to

:00:59. > :01:01.the bowler crisis. Police defend televised raid on Sir Cliff is the

:01:02. > :01:05.front of the Telegraph. The Mirror has more on the decision to search

:01:06. > :01:10.the house belonging to Sir Cliff, and allegations is Islamic state

:01:11. > :01:13.minister and are hacking into celebrity bank accounts. The

:01:14. > :01:18.Guardian says a report into the causes of the horse meat scandal has

:01:19. > :01:23.been shelved until at least the autumn. The Times reports America is

:01:24. > :01:27.considering air strikes around Baghdad to protect the leadership

:01:28. > :01:33.from the threat of Islamic militants. Good evening to you both.

:01:34. > :01:38.Let's start with the sun, which pretty much represents most of the

:01:39. > :01:42.front pages tomorrow. More on Sir Cliff Richard, police revealing they

:01:43. > :01:47.have been contacted by people with information after Sir Cliff was

:01:48. > :01:50.accused of sexually assaulting a young boy, and allegation he

:01:51. > :01:55.strenuously denies. He says he will fully cooperate with the

:01:56. > :02:00.investigation. If we go to the times, another story that continues

:02:01. > :02:06.to dominate the papers. The situation in Iraq and revelations

:02:07. > :02:15.that the US are considering raids around Baghdad. You get the feeling

:02:16. > :02:23.the West has been sucked further into Iraq. Is this part of the

:02:24. > :02:29.humanitarian issue to protect civilians? That is the main

:02:30. > :02:36.objective at the moment, but I do not think it is solely focused on

:02:37. > :02:40.that clearly. ISIS are on the march. If they were to get Baghdad, at the

:02:41. > :02:43.moment it is still a slim possibility, but if they were to get

:02:44. > :02:49.Baghdad we are into a whole new phase of the crisis. It says here

:02:50. > :02:53.that President Obama has authorised military personnel to do all they

:02:54. > :02:59.can to protect Baghdad. Primarily to protect American personnel, but as I

:03:00. > :03:04.say, to keep ISIS that they. If they got Baghdad it would be a huge

:03:05. > :03:09.prizes and it would be a new scenario. The leadership in Baghdad

:03:10. > :03:14.is important, as the Times says, they have to do all they can to

:03:15. > :03:18.protect it? It is a significant move. The current prime ministers

:03:19. > :03:22.stepping down, everyone hoping the new guy in the post would be much

:03:23. > :03:27.more progressive. For me, when I hear about the US thinking about

:03:28. > :03:32.bombing around Baghdad, I shudder. I think the West, particularly Britain

:03:33. > :03:37.and the US, we have two step back and think about this country is

:03:38. > :03:42.partly in the state it is because we were in that country. What they

:03:43. > :03:46.should be doing is not this thinking of protecting US. What about the

:03:47. > :03:50.Kurds? That is what they should be doing. They shouldn't be talking

:03:51. > :03:53.about Baghdad, they should be talking primarily about how they are

:03:54. > :03:59.going to save the Kurdish population. Because they are not. It

:04:00. > :04:04.worries me when they are talking about Baghdad. I really wonder what

:04:05. > :04:07.is actually going on on the ground. A humanitarian disaster, that is

:04:08. > :04:12.where the focus has to be. This is a worry for me when I read a story

:04:13. > :04:18.like this. It is worth pointing out there was a meeting of EU Foreign

:04:19. > :04:25.Minister is today. They agreed the EU nations should be able to arm the

:04:26. > :04:28.Kurds. That is problematic, Kurdish leaders have wanted to have a

:04:29. > :04:34.separate Kurdish state. It might draw Europe into that. It is

:04:35. > :04:38.different to Syria. It is universal. Pretty much everybody is

:04:39. > :04:41.agreeing that as much needs to be done as possible, as long as it does

:04:42. > :04:46.not involve ground troops at the moment. That is the thing, that is

:04:47. > :04:55.completely toxic. We remember ground troops in Iraq. That is a last thing

:04:56. > :05:00.that Obama and Cameron want to do. Let's move on to the Guardian. The

:05:01. > :05:05.headline is horse meat findings blocked. The story is basically that

:05:06. > :05:09.the publication of the official report into the horse meat scandal

:05:10. > :05:16.has been delayed. Wide EU think this has been delayed? It always seems a

:05:17. > :05:21.bit fishy when official investigations, which have been

:05:22. > :05:26.authorised and organised by the government, then do not see the

:05:27. > :05:30.light of day. `` why do you think? It makes you think it cannot be good

:05:31. > :05:33.as far as the government is concerned. That is what the Guardian

:05:34. > :05:39.seems to suggest. That the government is going to come in for

:05:40. > :05:47.quite a lot of criticism, spending cuts for leaving the food system

:05:48. > :05:54.open to the abuse by criminal elements, who got horse meat and

:05:55. > :05:59.other types of unsavoury types of meat into the food chain under the

:06:00. > :06:05.cover of it was beef. It looks a little suspicious that the

:06:06. > :06:08.government, who called this about 16 months ago and was due to report in

:06:09. > :06:16.the spring, they are now talking about the autumn. You wonder what it

:06:17. > :06:21.will reveal. The other thing coming out here from Chris Elliott, a

:06:22. > :06:25.professor at Queen 's University in Belfast, is this whole thing about

:06:26. > :06:29.one of the things that will come out in this report is about the

:06:30. > :06:37.government cutting front line inspections. All the things that are

:06:38. > :06:41.there to actually keep food safe. I think it is another mirror about

:06:42. > :06:45.what is actually happening with public funding, with things that

:06:46. > :06:49.directly affect the public, like education, the National Health

:06:50. > :06:52.Service. Here we have the food industry, as well. I am sure the

:06:53. > :06:57.government are really embarrassed about it, but they need to think

:06:58. > :07:00.about what they are going to do about front line staff like

:07:01. > :07:04.inspectors. We need them if this is not to happen again. In the blame

:07:05. > :07:08.game it is not just the government. There are a lot of people involved

:07:09. > :07:13.in the food chain. There have been criminal elements exposed as well.

:07:14. > :07:16.Absolutely. But if you have front line staff who are meant to be

:07:17. > :07:21.safeguarding food, if they are not able to get on and do their job, and

:07:22. > :07:25.with the frequency to do their job, these issues will not come up and

:07:26. > :07:30.therefore criminal elements are going to flourish. That seems to be

:07:31. > :07:34.what has happened. One of the few things they have cut through, you

:07:35. > :07:37.cannot trust the food that you are buying in the supermarkets

:07:38. > :07:44.off`the`shelf if you cannot believe what it says on the label. It is a

:07:45. > :07:48.shocker for me, I am a real foodie. It makes us realise we do not look

:07:49. > :07:53.enough that what we put in our mouths. Ultimately you have to take

:07:54. > :08:00.it on trust. You can go to your local butcher, or farm shops, but

:08:01. > :08:05.ultimately you have to be able to trust the person selling you that

:08:06. > :08:10.food. The Guardian says Elliott was understood to have delivered his

:08:11. > :08:13.final report to the government a few weeks ago. Hopefully they're coming

:08:14. > :08:19.up with some recommendations. In the Independent on the front page, a

:08:20. > :08:25.shocking photo of an Ebola victim. It just brings it home, doesn't it?

:08:26. > :08:29.Before when we were discussing it, you called this picture haunting. I

:08:30. > :08:33.think it is a haunting, horrific picture. I think what happened with

:08:34. > :08:37.Ebola, because it has been around a long time, it is not the disease

:08:38. > :08:42.there is a cure for. I do not think people have been taking it very

:08:43. > :08:47.seriously. In the public, like with the bird flu incident, nothing came

:08:48. > :08:51.of it. I think we become a bit blas? when we hear about this. Reports

:08:52. > :08:55.coming out now are really horrific. I believe in Liberia it is up to 1

:08:56. > :08:59.million people who are in quarantine. That is because they

:09:00. > :09:04.think there has been a lot of under reporting. I saw an earlier report

:09:05. > :09:09.where they were in Liberia. They were actually moving slumber

:09:10. > :09:13.dwellers out of their homes because they thought it might be a breeding

:09:14. > :09:17.ground. These people 's homes were destroyed. There is confusion, fear

:09:18. > :09:23.and the countries in West Africa and need significant outside help. You

:09:24. > :09:26.mentioned medicine, the medical charity say it will be at least six

:09:27. > :09:31.months and it is brought under control. Six months during which

:09:32. > :09:36.there is every possibility that it could spread out of Africa. At the

:09:37. > :09:40.moment it is terrible what is happening in Africa, but if it was

:09:41. > :09:45.to move out of Africa... We heard today there is someone from Sierra

:09:46. > :09:52.Leone who is being tested in Scotland. We hope that is clear. All

:09:53. > :09:57.it takes is for one case to get out of Africa. That is another thing,

:09:58. > :10:01.after a while how will climb trees respond in terms of their borders?

:10:02. > :10:06.Will they be saying people from particular nations... `` how will

:10:07. > :10:11.other countries respond Grissom and there are big ramifications about

:10:12. > :10:16.how we respond to this. I hope we respond swiftly and sharply. We do

:10:17. > :10:22.not want this to get out of control. I have just been told the person in

:10:23. > :10:27.Scotland tested negative. But it shows the paranoia, and how there is

:10:28. > :10:32.a fear it could cross borders beyond West Africa. Absolutely, the world

:10:33. > :10:37.is a smaller place, people can travel very easily. Then it becomes

:10:38. > :10:42.a question of if the National Health Service is ready? I don't think it

:10:43. > :10:49.will be, definitely not. Let's move onto another story, still in the

:10:50. > :10:54.Independent. The headline is to tear justice, the private prosecution

:10:55. > :10:58.revolution. I thought this was hugely expensive, it surprises me

:10:59. > :11:03.that has been a revolution. It is expensive. It means the only people

:11:04. > :11:09.that can pursue private prosecutions are the wealthy. Everyone should be

:11:10. > :11:13.equal under the law and everybody should have the same access to

:11:14. > :11:19.justice, regardless of their means. But getting back to spending cuts,

:11:20. > :11:24.that has been blamed by the independent for a huge rise in

:11:25. > :11:29.private prosecutions. People do not feel they are getting the justice

:11:30. > :11:34.they expect from the CPS or from the police. It is a worry. Obviously

:11:35. > :11:41.these cases, private prosecution cases are subject to legal aid. It

:11:42. > :11:48.is only open to the wealthy. `` are not subject to legal aid. The better

:11:49. > :11:53.off have better access to justice, that would be a sorry state. A look

:11:54. > :12:00.at the Financial Times, which reports on reports that Ukraine

:12:01. > :12:04.attacked that Russian column that reportedly crossed over into

:12:05. > :12:07.Ukrainian territory. As you would expect, the Financial Times reports

:12:08. > :12:12.on the effect it has had on the markets. It is, the impact it will

:12:13. > :12:16.have on the markets. I have to say, that is not what I am thinking

:12:17. > :12:20.about. If you think about it, in the world at the moment there are all

:12:21. > :12:25.these conflicts. Every time you look there are women, children and people

:12:26. > :12:29.being displaced their homes. Ukraine is one of those places. It goes on

:12:30. > :12:36.and on. On the one hand the Ukrainians are saying in Kiev they

:12:37. > :12:39.have destroyed two dozen Russian military vehicles. The Russians

:12:40. > :12:49.counter about their humanitarian convoy they want to send in. At some

:12:50. > :12:51.stage, because this group of people, Russians, pro`Russians, the

:12:52. > :13:00.Ukrainians, are in this area, there has to be some kind of political

:13:01. > :13:01.solution. The reason the markets are reacting the way they are is because

:13:02. > :13:29.it has an effect on everyone. It's worth pointing out. It was

:13:30. > :13:36.supposed to be a humanitarian accident. Some of the vehicles were

:13:37. > :13:45.actually empty so it suggests that... Almost empty, yes.

:13:46. > :13:49.Also in the Financial Times, plans for HMRC to seize unpaid tax could

:13:50. > :13:54.flout human rights. There is a lot of concern about this. This won't

:13:55. > :13:59.necessarily be targeting people who are hiding money, just people who

:14:00. > :14:04.are behind on repayments. Yes, it says that HMRC insist that

:14:05. > :14:10.it will only be to seize debts of more than ?1000. That's not very

:14:11. > :14:16.much. It's people who might have forgotten or didn't get a letter and

:14:17. > :14:22.then check their bank balance and realise that HMRC have swiped it!

:14:23. > :14:28.Leaving aside all the civil rights issues about whether the state

:14:29. > :14:38.should have this kind of power, I wouldn't be surprised if HMRC had a

:14:39. > :14:44.spotless record in terms of billing people incorrectly, but they don't.

:14:45. > :14:51.He will get letters saying that they have overcharged. The right for them

:14:52. > :14:55.to swiped money from your account is concerning.

:14:56. > :15:01.For now, many thanks retaking through the papers. Stay with us on

:15:02. > :15:23.BBC News. Coming up next, its sports day.
