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. | :00:00. | |
minutes. Welcome to the look ahead at what | :00:00. | :00:22. | |
the papers are bringing us tomorrow. With me are Kevin Schofield and the | :00:23. | :00:31. | |
broadcaster and author. First let's have a look at the sneak preview of | :00:32. | :00:39. | |
some of the front pages. The Financial Times says Ukraine | :00:40. | :00:42. | |
destroyed a Russian column that passed on to its country. The | :00:43. | :00:49. | |
Independent has a picture of a woman and her sick husband, succumbed to | :00:50. | :00:58. | |
the bowler crisis. Police defend televised raid on Sir Cliff is the | :00:59. | :01:01. | |
front of the Telegraph. The Mirror has more on the decision to search | :01:02. | :01:05. | |
the house belonging to Sir Cliff, and allegations is Islamic state | :01:06. | :01:10. | |
minister and are hacking into celebrity bank accounts. The | :01:11. | :01:13. | |
Guardian says a report into the causes of the horse meat scandal has | :01:14. | :01:18. | |
been shelved until at least the autumn. The Times reports America is | :01:19. | :01:23. | |
considering air strikes around Baghdad to protect the leadership | :01:24. | :01:27. | |
from the threat of Islamic militants. Good evening to you both. | :01:28. | :01:33. | |
Let's start with the sun, which pretty much represents most of the | :01:34. | :01:38. | |
front pages tomorrow. More on Sir Cliff Richard, police revealing they | :01:39. | :01:42. | |
have been contacted by people with information after Sir Cliff was | :01:43. | :01:47. | |
accused of sexually assaulting a young boy, and allegation he | :01:48. | :01:50. | |
strenuously denies. He says he will fully cooperate with the | :01:51. | :01:55. | |
investigation. If we go to the times, another story that continues | :01:56. | :02:00. | |
to dominate the papers. The situation in Iraq and revelations | :02:01. | :02:06. | |
that the US are considering raids around Baghdad. You get the feeling | :02:07. | :02:15. | |
the West has been sucked further into Iraq. Is this part of the | :02:16. | :02:23. | |
humanitarian issue to protect civilians? That is the main | :02:24. | :02:29. | |
objective at the moment, but I do not think it is solely focused on | :02:30. | :02:36. | |
that clearly. ISIS are on the march. If they were to get Baghdad, at the | :02:37. | :02:40. | |
moment it is still a slim possibility, but if they were to get | :02:41. | :02:43. | |
Baghdad we are into a whole new phase of the crisis. It says here | :02:44. | :02:49. | |
that President Obama has authorised military personnel to do all they | :02:50. | :02:53. | |
can to protect Baghdad. Primarily to protect American personnel, but as I | :02:54. | :02:59. | |
say, to keep ISIS that they. If they got Baghdad it would be a huge | :03:00. | :03:04. | |
prizes and it would be a new scenario. The leadership in Baghdad | :03:05. | :03:09. | |
is important, as the Times says, they have to do all they can to | :03:10. | :03:14. | |
protect it? It is a significant move. The current prime ministers | :03:15. | :03:18. | |
stepping down, everyone hoping the new guy in the post would be much | :03:19. | :03:22. | |
more progressive. For me, when I hear about the US thinking about | :03:23. | :03:27. | |
bombing around Baghdad, I shudder. I think the West, particularly Britain | :03:28. | :03:32. | |
and the US, we have two step back and think about this country is | :03:33. | :03:37. | |
partly in the state it is because we were in that country. What they | :03:38. | :03:42. | |
should be doing is not this thinking of protecting US. What about the | :03:43. | :03:46. | |
Kurds? That is what they should be doing. They shouldn't be talking | :03:47. | :03:50. | |
about Baghdad, they should be talking primarily about how they are | :03:51. | :03:53. | |
going to save the Kurdish population. Because they are not. It | :03:54. | :03:59. | |
worries me when they are talking about Baghdad. I really wonder what | :04:00. | :04:04. | |
is actually going on on the ground. A humanitarian disaster, that is | :04:05. | :04:07. | |
where the focus has to be. This is a worry for me when I read a story | :04:08. | :04:12. | |
like this. It is worth pointing out there was a meeting of EU Foreign | :04:13. | :04:18. | |
Minister is today. They agreed the EU nations should be able to arm the | :04:19. | :04:25. | |
Kurds. That is problematic, Kurdish leaders have wanted to have a | :04:26. | :04:28. | |
separate Kurdish state. It might draw Europe into that. It is | :04:29. | :04:34. | |
different to Syria. It is universal. Pretty much everybody is | :04:35. | :04:38. | |
agreeing that as much needs to be done as possible, as long as it does | :04:39. | :04:41. | |
not involve ground troops at the moment. That is the thing, that is | :04:42. | :04:46. | |
completely toxic. We remember ground troops in Iraq. That is a last thing | :04:47. | :04:55. | |
that Obama and Cameron want to do. Let's move on to the Guardian. The | :04:56. | :05:00. | |
headline is horse meat findings blocked. The story is basically that | :05:01. | :05:05. | |
the publication of the official report into the horse meat scandal | :05:06. | :05:09. | |
has been delayed. Wide EU think this has been delayed? It always seems a | :05:10. | :05:16. | |
bit fishy when official investigations, which have been | :05:17. | :05:21. | |
authorised and organised by the government, then do not see the | :05:22. | :05:26. | |
light of day. `` why do you think? It makes you think it cannot be good | :05:27. | :05:30. | |
as far as the government is concerned. That is what the Guardian | :05:31. | :05:33. | |
seems to suggest. That the government is going to come in for | :05:34. | :05:39. | |
quite a lot of criticism, spending cuts for leaving the food system | :05:40. | :05:47. | |
open to the abuse by criminal elements, who got horse meat and | :05:48. | :05:54. | |
other types of unsavoury types of meat into the food chain under the | :05:55. | :05:59. | |
cover of it was beef. It looks a little suspicious that the | :06:00. | :06:05. | |
government, who called this about 16 months ago and was due to report in | :06:06. | :06:08. | |
the spring, they are now talking about the autumn. You wonder what it | :06:09. | :06:16. | |
will reveal. The other thing coming out here from Chris Elliott, a | :06:17. | :06:21. | |
professor at Queen 's University in Belfast, is this whole thing about | :06:22. | :06:25. | |
one of the things that will come out in this report is about the | :06:26. | :06:29. | |
government cutting front line inspections. All the things that are | :06:30. | :06:37. | |
there to actually keep food safe. I think it is another mirror about | :06:38. | :06:41. | |
what is actually happening with public funding, with things that | :06:42. | :06:45. | |
directly affect the public, like education, the National Health | :06:46. | :06:49. | |
Service. Here we have the food industry, as well. I am sure the | :06:50. | :06:52. | |
government are really embarrassed about it, but they need to think | :06:53. | :06:57. | |
about what they are going to do about front line staff like | :06:58. | :07:00. | |
inspectors. We need them if this is not to happen again. In the blame | :07:01. | :07:04. | |
game it is not just the government. There are a lot of people involved | :07:05. | :07:08. | |
in the food chain. There have been criminal elements exposed as well. | :07:09. | :07:13. | |
Absolutely. But if you have front line staff who are meant to be | :07:14. | :07:16. | |
safeguarding food, if they are not able to get on and do their job, and | :07:17. | :07:21. | |
with the frequency to do their job, these issues will not come up and | :07:22. | :07:25. | |
therefore criminal elements are going to flourish. That seems to be | :07:26. | :07:30. | |
what has happened. One of the few things they have cut through, you | :07:31. | :07:34. | |
cannot trust the food that you are buying in the supermarkets | :07:35. | :07:37. | |
off`the`shelf if you cannot believe what it says on the label. It is a | :07:38. | :07:44. | |
shocker for me, I am a real foodie. It makes us realise we do not look | :07:45. | :07:48. | |
enough that what we put in our mouths. Ultimately you have to take | :07:49. | :07:53. | |
it on trust. You can go to your local butcher, or farm shops, but | :07:54. | :08:00. | |
ultimately you have to be able to trust the person selling you that | :08:01. | :08:05. | |
food. The Guardian says Elliott was understood to have delivered his | :08:06. | :08:10. | |
final report to the government a few weeks ago. Hopefully they're coming | :08:11. | :08:13. | |
up with some recommendations. In the Independent on the front page, a | :08:14. | :08:19. | |
shocking photo of an Ebola victim. It just brings it home, doesn't it? | :08:20. | :08:25. | |
Before when we were discussing it, you called this picture haunting. I | :08:26. | :08:29. | |
think it is a haunting, horrific picture. I think what happened with | :08:30. | :08:33. | |
Ebola, because it has been around a long time, it is not the disease | :08:34. | :08:37. | |
there is a cure for. I do not think people have been taking it very | :08:38. | :08:42. | |
seriously. In the public, like with the bird flu incident, nothing came | :08:43. | :08:47. | |
of it. I think we become a bit blas? when we hear about this. Reports | :08:48. | :08:51. | |
coming out now are really horrific. I believe in Liberia it is up to 1 | :08:52. | :08:55. | |
million people who are in quarantine. That is because they | :08:56. | :08:59. | |
think there has been a lot of under reporting. I saw an earlier report | :09:00. | :09:04. | |
where they were in Liberia. They were actually moving slumber | :09:05. | :09:09. | |
dwellers out of their homes because they thought it might be a breeding | :09:10. | :09:13. | |
ground. These people 's homes were destroyed. There is confusion, fear | :09:14. | :09:17. | |
and the countries in West Africa and need significant outside help. You | :09:18. | :09:23. | |
mentioned medicine, the medical charity say it will be at least six | :09:24. | :09:26. | |
months and it is brought under control. Six months during which | :09:27. | :09:31. | |
there is every possibility that it could spread out of Africa. At the | :09:32. | :09:36. | |
moment it is terrible what is happening in Africa, but if it was | :09:37. | :09:40. | |
to move out of Africa... We heard today there is someone from Sierra | :09:41. | :09:45. | |
Leone who is being tested in Scotland. We hope that is clear. All | :09:46. | :09:52. | |
it takes is for one case to get out of Africa. That is another thing, | :09:53. | :09:57. | |
after a while how will climb trees respond in terms of their borders? | :09:58. | :10:01. | |
Will they be saying people from particular nations... `` how will | :10:02. | :10:06. | |
other countries respond Grissom and there are big ramifications about | :10:07. | :10:11. | |
how we respond to this. I hope we respond swiftly and sharply. We do | :10:12. | :10:16. | |
not want this to get out of control. I have just been told the person in | :10:17. | :10:22. | |
Scotland tested negative. But it shows the paranoia, and how there is | :10:23. | :10:27. | |
a fear it could cross borders beyond West Africa. Absolutely, the world | :10:28. | :10:32. | |
is a smaller place, people can travel very easily. Then it becomes | :10:33. | :10:37. | |
a question of if the National Health Service is ready? I don't think it | :10:38. | :10:42. | |
will be, definitely not. Let's move onto another story, still in the | :10:43. | :10:49. | |
Independent. The headline is to tear justice, the private prosecution | :10:50. | :10:54. | |
revolution. I thought this was hugely expensive, it surprises me | :10:55. | :10:58. | |
that has been a revolution. It is expensive. It means the only people | :10:59. | :11:03. | |
that can pursue private prosecutions are the wealthy. Everyone should be | :11:04. | :11:09. | |
equal under the law and everybody should have the same access to | :11:10. | :11:13. | |
justice, regardless of their means. But getting back to spending cuts, | :11:14. | :11:19. | |
that has been blamed by the independent for a huge rise in | :11:20. | :11:24. | |
private prosecutions. People do not feel they are getting the justice | :11:25. | :11:29. | |
they expect from the CPS or from the police. It is a worry. Obviously | :11:30. | :11:34. | |
these cases, private prosecution cases are subject to legal aid. It | :11:35. | :11:41. | |
is only open to the wealthy. `` are not subject to legal aid. The better | :11:42. | :11:48. | |
off have better access to justice, that would be a sorry state. A look | :11:49. | :11:53. | |
at the Financial Times, which reports on reports that Ukraine | :11:54. | :12:00. | |
attacked that Russian column that reportedly crossed over into | :12:01. | :12:04. | |
Ukrainian territory. As you would expect, the Financial Times reports | :12:05. | :12:07. | |
on the effect it has had on the markets. It is, the impact it will | :12:08. | :12:12. | |
have on the markets. I have to say, that is not what I am thinking | :12:13. | :12:16. | |
about. If you think about it, in the world at the moment there are all | :12:17. | :12:20. | |
these conflicts. Every time you look there are women, children and people | :12:21. | :12:25. | |
being displaced their homes. Ukraine is one of those places. It goes on | :12:26. | :12:29. | |
and on. On the one hand the Ukrainians are saying in Kiev they | :12:30. | :12:36. | |
have destroyed two dozen Russian military vehicles. The Russians | :12:37. | :12:39. | |
counter about their humanitarian convoy they want to send in. At some | :12:40. | :12:49. | |
stage, because this group of people, Russians, pro`Russians, the | :12:50. | :12:51. | |
Ukrainians, are in this area, there has to be some kind of political | :12:52. | :13:00. | |
solution. The reason the markets are reacting the way they are is because | :13:01. | :13:01. | |
it has an effect on everyone. It's worth pointing out. It was | :13:02. | :13:29. | |
supposed to be a humanitarian accident. Some of the vehicles were | :13:30. | :13:36. | |
actually empty so it suggests that... Almost empty, yes. | :13:37. | :13:45. | |
Also in the Financial Times, plans for HMRC to seize unpaid tax could | :13:46. | :13:49. | |
flout human rights. There is a lot of concern about this. This won't | :13:50. | :13:54. | |
necessarily be targeting people who are hiding money, just people who | :13:55. | :13:59. | |
are behind on repayments. Yes, it says that HMRC insist that | :14:00. | :14:04. | |
it will only be to seize debts of more than ?1000. That's not very | :14:05. | :14:10. | |
much. It's people who might have forgotten or didn't get a letter and | :14:11. | :14:16. | |
then check their bank balance and realise that HMRC have swiped it! | :14:17. | :14:22. | |
Leaving aside all the civil rights issues about whether the state | :14:23. | :14:28. | |
should have this kind of power, I wouldn't be surprised if HMRC had a | :14:29. | :14:38. | |
spotless record in terms of billing people incorrectly, but they don't. | :14:39. | :14:44. | |
He will get letters saying that they have overcharged. The right for them | :14:45. | :14:51. | |
to swiped money from your account is concerning. | :14:52. | :14:55. | |
For now, many thanks retaking through the papers. Stay with us on | :14:56. | :15:01. | |
