26/08/2014 The Papers

have a roundup of all of the capital cup results and the latest from the

US open where Heather Watson has bailed to follow Andy Murray into

the second rounds. That in 15 minutes, after The Papers. `` that

is in 15 minutes, after The Papers. Welcome to our lookahead to what the

papers will bring us tomorrow. With me are Henry Bonsu and Isabel

Hardman. That have a look at the front pages. We were. With the

Telegraph, which contains a story about the paedophile gangs preying

on more than 1400 children in Rotherham over a 16 year period. The

Guardian carries the same story and also a of Kate Bush to return to the

stage after 36 years. The Financial Times carries a story about Burger

King transferring its headquarters to Canada. And the Daily Express

says Britain is now home to 2 million illegal in the. Let's stop

with the Telegraph that leads with events in Rotherham turning a blind

eye to sexual abuse. This is an horrific story. More than 1400

children were abused over 16 years and the police and council bosses

did not follow up allegations the fear of being labelled racist.

Professor Alexis Jay has examined the failings in Rotherham and sheep

paints a dreadful picture of the lives of children who were sexually

abused. The list of failures is horrendous. It is huge and as the

professor says, we may only be scratching the surface. It's just an

estimate. We have seen cases like this before in Rochdale, Derby and

Oxford. You can understand why the Daily Telegraph put it on the front

page and other papers will do so. I sometimes think they speak with

forked tongues. They get very upset about the stories. They are often

the most honourable children that people don't care about. They have

the kind of parents that these papers often rail against, quotes,

feckless parents. It's all very well saying, why were these Asian men

allowed to do this? It's because we didn't want to be called racist. But

the key thing is why children were left unsupervised and why no one

believes them and why police considered that sex between

11`year`olds and grown men were consensual. Crazy. And that's why

papers like the Daily Telegraph said outrage. The state is meant to be

the parent that steps in when other parents can't care that their

children. But these are the same papers that they do politicians, but

out of family life because people can take care of themselves. Even

those of us who believe in a state that shouldn't intervene, the state

does have to be a parent in some cases and in this case they failed

miserably, and so did the police. They are there to protect the

vulnerable and they didn't do that for 16 years. That is a fair point.

The council leader has stood down, others have apologise, the police

have questions to answer as well. There are significant authority

bodies that let these children down to an enormous degree. Absolutely,

but one we examine it in more detail and look at the Council's role and

why they didn't do what they were meant to do, we have to ask what

would they have done with the information? They should have beefed

up security at children's homes and the police should have been more

involved. They can't say it's an Asian problem. We don't racialised

paedophilia when 70`year`old entertainers are involved. It's

because they thought they were going to be racist, in the same way people

work nervous about reporting Jimmy Savile.

Let's move on to the express. On page two AI making reference to the

Gaza truce. I get the sense in our courage that this one feels a little

different from the cease`fires we have had thus far. This one is being

described as open ended. There is a sense there is an opportunity for

both sides to attend something a little bit more long`lasting rather

than waiting for the next set of rockets to appear over the border.

Well, we said, thank God. At last they looked like something of a

truce. This has been seven weeks long. We are talking about 2200

people, the vast majority of Palestinians. It's a David versus

Goliath one winds. We hope Gaza will be reconstructed and the

humanitarian aid will come in freely, that the kind of blockades

that have turned this place into an open prison camp will be

dismantled, but no one winds. People have been killed, Hamas have had

their infrastructure strike, they have played kamikaze with their own

people, but Israel have gone in, guns blazing, far too far. Elected

government `` they have lost a lot of friends. A wonderful point has

been made and that is people in the Middle East know what they can die

for, not what they can live for. That's something that world leaders

want to look for, the reason to live for. They want to be seen as is's

friend because of what happened 70 odd years ago, but we are getting to

a where Israel's position in the world will be looked at through more

critical eyes as the generation that feels so closely found together with

Israel disappears. Let's move the Guardian. Farage and Johnson, double

trouble. Two prominent figures heading the Westminster. Nigel

Farage has been selected in South Thanet. I spent the weekend in

Ramsgate and I spoke to UKIP supporters and they said we are not

then to have this sky coming down here making all these fall from Mrs.

We're not going to be spooked by UKIP, but he is standing. There is a

lot he can say that he will do because the seafront has been left

to rot for the last 20 or so years. A lot of people there have lost hope

in politics. What about the double trouble for Cameron lined that the

Guardian is taking? Boris Johnson is seeking the Tory candidacy in

Oxbridge. We wonder why he has timed it for today. It may be because

Nigel Farage was going for his selection at the same time. Boris

has often been named as the anti`Farage. He is one of the few

politicians that can cut through to the section of the electorate like

Farage. But Farage's big challenge is can he appealed to Labour

voters? you have been at the Hammersmith

Apollo? I learned a lot about this evening. I remember her first time

round. I have never been fascinated by her but I have been intrigued by

her. Great photographs of her on a number of the front pages. I worried

about the Polish prime minister which has caught your eye. David

Cameron has offered to back him as the next head of the European

Council. This could be very good for Britain because he has a lot of

interests align with Britain's interests. But the major stumbling

block is he really disagrees with Cameron over immigration rules. They

had what was described as a blazing row. He doesn't speak French or

English. I'm not sure if Cameron speaks Polish well. You want and

blazing row can be if they don't speak the same language! It just

goes to show that sometimes when Cameron beat the British drama,

long`term, it may be counter`productive. `` British

drama. E cigarettes. World health experts call for a ban on them

indoors. I noticed the BBC has banned them as well! Apparently,

they are very bad for people who are sitting nearby, passively raping. ``

they purring. Where do you stand? I thought they were the safer option.

Some people have got onto this. On that note, we will have to bring

things to a close. As Manchester United celebrate

signing Angel Di Maria,
