:00:16. > :00:18.Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers
:00:19. > :00:22.With me are journalist Matthew Green and Anne Ashworth,
:00:23. > :00:33.The Observer says the Church of England has delivered
:00:34. > :00:36."withering criticism" of David Cameron's Middle East policy,
:00:37. > :00:42.The Mail on Sunday says the BBC is in crisis following a complaint
:00:43. > :00:48.from South Yorkshire police over its reporting of the police search
:00:49. > :00:52.The Sunday Times features a picture of a Yazidi girl alongside
:00:53. > :00:56.a story that Islamic State militants have massacred 300 Yazidi men.
:00:57. > :00:59.And the same girl appears on the front page
:01:00. > :01:04.Below it, though, is an energy story, it says prices have soared
:01:05. > :01:11.The Government's response to the expansion of the Islamic State
:01:12. > :01:13.is the main focus for the Sunday Telegraph.
:01:14. > :01:15.It says the Prime Minister is warning that
:01:16. > :01:18.the dangerous ideology could bring terror to the streets of Britain
:01:19. > :01:25.And the Sunday Express says watchdogs are planning to crack
:01:26. > :01:42.So, let's begin on that crop of very different stories. Matthew, what do
:01:43. > :01:49.you make of the Observer's story on the church's attack on David
:01:50. > :01:58.Cameron's Middle East policy? It is a very strong story here. They have
:01:59. > :02:01.had sight of a letter written by the Bishop of Leeds, making a very
:02:02. > :02:05.scathing attack on David Cameron's response to Islamic extremism around
:02:06. > :02:09.the world, not just in Iraq but Nigeria and elsewhere. This Bishop
:02:10. > :02:14.says he lacks a coherent strategy, there is no vision. He makes
:02:15. > :02:18.reference to the fact that Britain stood by while France and Germany
:02:19. > :02:22.offered to take the Christians who had fled from Mosul in Iraq. He is
:02:23. > :02:29.putting the spotlight on David Cameron's handling of the crisis. It
:02:30. > :02:33.is not the only criticism that David Cameron is facing. There is a story
:02:34. > :02:37.on the Independent on Sunday on the front page, in which there is
:02:38. > :02:44.another attack on the government's strategy. From a senior general who
:02:45. > :02:50.is saying the government's spineless lack of leadership and the absence
:02:51. > :02:54.of any credible strategy, alarm and double loss of nerves. The church
:02:55. > :03:00.and the army are coming out with very fierce criticisms of government
:03:01. > :03:04.policy on this. Is there any recognition in these attacks that it
:03:05. > :03:09.is a very complicated picture and it may well be the West itself has not
:03:10. > :03:16.got its act together? We have seen this in Europe this week. I think
:03:17. > :03:20.there is some truth in that. There is a rather grandstanding tone to
:03:21. > :03:26.this letter from the Bishop. One might argue that bringing in
:03:27. > :03:28.religion to foreign policy at a moment like this, when it might be
:03:29. > :03:32.better to have less polarisation, might be a better idea. Some are
:03:33. > :03:36.arguing with the church should be reaching out to Muslim communities
:03:37. > :03:42.in Britain at a time like this, rather than pouring more fuel on the
:03:43. > :03:47.fire. It would be interesting to know how this represents public
:03:48. > :03:58.opinion, whether this senior in the church is speaking for ask, whether
:03:59. > :04:02.we should be in there more than a humanitarian corridor. We have not
:04:03. > :04:06.had much indication of public opinion. I suppose the church has a
:04:07. > :04:11.tradition of intervening in these questions. It is also interesting
:04:12. > :04:17.that it is not the Archbishop of Canterbury, it is a less senior
:04:18. > :04:20.figure. I wonder if we see some church politics here. Perhaps
:04:21. > :04:25.Archbishop Welby did not want to speak out so someone has spoken on
:04:26. > :04:31.his behalf. The letter says it is backed by the Archbishop. What that
:04:32. > :04:37.means is not clear. It sounds like he has endorsed it in some way but
:04:38. > :04:42.he has not signed it. Is your paper interest did in testing public
:04:43. > :04:47.opinion in this area? The most interesting thing would be to see
:04:48. > :04:51.how people feel, whether those scenes on Mount Sinjar have changed
:04:52. > :04:57.people's view on this or whether they recognise that it is a very
:04:58. > :05:03.complex situation. And I am wondering what the states around are
:05:04. > :05:06.doing. The silence of Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Jordan on this is
:05:07. > :05:11.something that most people would be thinking, it is a threat to them,
:05:12. > :05:15.what are they doing? I want to just move on to a related story, there is
:05:16. > :05:22.so much about the Middle East in The Papers this weekend, on the Sunday
:05:23. > :05:26.Telegraph front page, headline, PM, our generational struggle against a
:05:27. > :05:33.poisonous ideology. In a sense, this is him trying to answer his critics.
:05:34. > :05:36.It is an extraordinary almost Churchill in a statement saying this
:05:37. > :05:42.is the biggest fight of his political career, of our lifetimes.
:05:43. > :05:47.It is Ray unclear what remedies he is proposing. We keep hearing the
:05:48. > :05:55.word, military prowess. What does that mean? It does not mean boots on
:05:56. > :05:59.the ground. But also, one can see that Cameron is on the moral high
:06:00. > :06:05.ground here because he proposed action against Syria. He can say,
:06:06. > :06:12.look, I was aware what was happening in that region. If you had listened
:06:13. > :06:17.to me, I think there is a against it. At the same time, all this
:06:18. > :06:21.shrill commentary from all sides that something must be done, it is
:06:22. > :06:25.pretty clear that there is no quick solution to what has happened. The
:06:26. > :06:31.roots of this go back several years to the rise of Nouri al`Maliki as
:06:32. > :06:34.Prime Minister of Iraq. He has presided over this sectarian
:06:35. > :06:43.government which has created huge amounts of disenfranchisement and
:06:44. > :06:48.alienation. That will not be solved with a few air strikes. It is not
:06:49. > :06:53.clear what the remedy will be. Fire macro it is also unclear about what
:06:54. > :06:57.everybody thinks this whole crisis now stems from. In the Prime
:06:58. > :07:02.Minister's statement, he says it is nothing to do with our last
:07:03. > :07:07.intervention in Iraq. But it has everything to do with the last
:07:08. > :07:12.intervention in Iraq. The way the shears were allowed to take power,
:07:13. > :07:16.the Sunnis were marginalised, it enabled them to get the hands on
:07:17. > :07:22.sophisticated weaponry, it is all a consequence of the last
:07:23. > :07:27.intervention. That has framed the discussion so much in military
:07:28. > :07:31.terms. Do we reinstate Iraq, do we send more troops or do nothing?
:07:32. > :07:43.There has to be a whole spectrum of options. Certainly work with the US
:07:44. > :07:47.and Iran to try and patch things up. One thing I wanted to point out is
:07:48. > :07:50.the Prime Minister does seem to be drawing links between what is
:07:51. > :07:57.happening there to what could happen here. There could be attacks in the
:07:58. > :08:02.street. Do you think that a sensational lies in things? It is
:08:03. > :08:06.always the way British politicians seek to link public opinion here to
:08:07. > :08:10.foreign policy actions. The people who are really suffering in all this
:08:11. > :08:14.are the Iraqis and Syrians. The devastation that is taking place
:08:15. > :08:21.there dwarfs anything that is likely to happen in the UK. Let's move on
:08:22. > :08:26.to the other story on the front page of the Telegraph, which is the
:08:27. > :08:31.discovery in Tilbury docks of the 35 people smuggled in a shipping
:08:32. > :08:37.container. One of them has died. Is it bringing any new like to what
:08:38. > :08:41.happened? The details here are still fairly sketchy. We are not sure
:08:42. > :08:46.where these people come from. It sounds like they are from south
:08:47. > :08:50.Asia. It is probably not directly linked to a conflict zone but with
:08:51. > :08:54.all this turmoil in the Middle East, that will raise questions about
:08:55. > :08:57.whether we will see more of this illegal immigration. It also puts
:08:58. > :09:02.the spotlight on how this happens. This is not just the odd truck
:09:03. > :09:07.driver bringing over people stuffed in the back of a container, it is a
:09:08. > :09:13.huge multi`billion`dollar trafficking industry linked to all
:09:14. > :09:16.other kinds of organised crime and it needs a global response. We were
:09:17. > :09:23.hearing from a correspondent earlier that the numbers coming over have
:09:24. > :09:27.gone up on 11,000 to 18,000. And the French say it is a problem they
:09:28. > :09:31.cannot contain on their side of the Channel. I'm just looking at the
:09:32. > :09:40.front pages and thinking, have we ever seen an August like this? So
:09:41. > :09:44.many events of huge magnitude happening. Whatever happened to the
:09:45. > :09:50.silly season, the events we would normally be discussing at this time
:09:51. > :10:00.of year. These stories have been grim human misery. Let's move on to
:10:01. > :10:05.the Sunday Times. The front page has two quite contradictory stories in a
:10:06. > :10:10.way. They may not be related. A big headline saying rise of the new
:10:11. > :10:14.underclass costs ?30 billion. There are half a million problem families.
:10:15. > :10:20.And then in the corner the governor of the Bank of England Mark Carney
:10:21. > :10:25.saying we are to recovery. It is interesting. It is a huge issue of
:10:26. > :10:30.exclusion and families who are falling through any kind of net. But
:10:31. > :10:35.it is also interesting how the story is cast. It is costing us ?30
:10:36. > :10:39.billion but it is costing these families their whole futures. It
:10:40. > :10:43.would be interesting to see how people end up in this position.
:10:44. > :10:48.There was fascination with Benefit Street, the Channel 4 documentary a
:10:49. > :10:52.few months ago but I would like to see more reporting on the ground
:10:53. > :10:57.about how this happens. And the measures that are taken. The story
:10:58. > :11:00.says there is some success with a group of families where they have
:11:01. > :11:06.managed to get the children to go to school and improve their health. It
:11:07. > :11:11.is almost a good news story. You do not need to stay on benefits street,
:11:12. > :11:17.you do not need to become a bee sent helpless, we can help you. I am
:11:18. > :11:23.fascinated by the story about us being halfway to recovery. The
:11:24. > :11:27.Governor of the Bank of England appears to speak in riddles. He has
:11:28. > :11:31.been called the bad boyfriend because you cannot work out what he
:11:32. > :11:34.means. Earlier in the week it did not seem like he was suggesting that
:11:35. > :11:40.things were that good. Wages were not rising and increasing interest
:11:41. > :11:45.rates would be delayed. Now he is saying we are half way there.
:11:46. > :11:50.Interest rates might possibly go up. I am as confused as ever. I know
:11:51. > :11:56.central bankers like to be men of mystery that this one is perhaps
:11:57. > :12:03.overdoing it in my view. Do you agree? It is the classic metaphor,
:12:04. > :12:08.halfway to wear? Give us some numbers. Whatever the finish line, I
:12:09. > :12:14.love that expression. Halfway to what, we do not know. Nearly there
:12:15. > :12:20.but who can tell. That is it from The Papers. We will be back at
:12:21. > :12:35.11:30pm to do more of the same. Do stay with us here on BBC News. A man
:12:36. > :12:41.is found dead in the Tilbury shipping container. Coming up next
:12:42. > :12:57.is a roundup of the best reporting from the BBC in reporters.
