:00:00. > 3:59:59qualifier. We will have the action and the latest from the U.S. Open

:00:00. > :00:19.tennis. Welcome to our look ahead to what

:00:20. > :00:29.the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. The Financial Times

:00:30. > :00:38.reporting on the investigation into Christine Lagarde. The Telegraph is

:00:39. > :00:42.looking at the Council officials in Rotherham who it says failed to act

:00:43. > :00:48.to prevent the sexual abuse of more than a thousand children. The Metro

:00:49. > :00:53.reports on Emma, the victim who says she was forced to leave Britain to

:00:54. > :00:55.escape her abusers. In an interview with the Guardian the deputy

:00:56. > :00:59.children's commissioner says children are at risk of serious

:01:00. > :01:03.abuse right across England because of a culture of wilful blindness

:01:04. > :01:08.about the scale of sexual exploitation. The express is urging

:01:09. > :01:12.David Cameron to get tough with foreign benefits cheats. We will

:01:13. > :01:17.start with a story that has dominated the headlines for the last

:01:18. > :01:22.couple of days. Chiefs who ignored child abuse must quit on the

:01:23. > :01:25.Telegraph. It seems a to a lot of people that given the scale of what

:01:26. > :01:32.went on in Rotherham only one person has resigned. I'm usually against

:01:33. > :01:39.politicians saying other people should lose their jobs when people

:01:40. > :01:46.like Ed Balls have done it in the past with Sharon shoesmith. This is

:01:47. > :01:52.different because they are being reports for at least a dozen years.

:01:53. > :01:57.People have took absolutely no action whatsoever about this

:01:58. > :02:02.appalling scale of industrial abuse. They wanted to hope that it wasn't

:02:03. > :02:07.happening or perhaps they didn't have the resources for it. It's

:02:08. > :02:11.undoubtedly the case that these people who actually responsible for

:02:12. > :02:16.the services at the time, somebody has be held accountable. That's the

:02:17. > :02:22.point. I've witnessed it in the past. It is easy, so`and`so should

:02:23. > :02:29.resign, it happened on his or her watch. That's the traditional

:02:30. > :02:32.British way, and yet in recent times you find criticism that people

:02:33. > :02:37.haven't resigned when perhaps they should have done. In my experience,

:02:38. > :02:41.sometimes when people do resign because it happened on their watch,

:02:42. > :02:48.those who actually were responsible survive. My only question tonight to

:02:49. > :02:54.people in Rotherham would be if social workers, these social

:02:55. > :02:56.workers, if council bosses, if the Police and Crime

:02:57. > :03:01.workers, if council bosses, if the Commissioner and is particularly the

:03:02. > :03:07.police seem to have been rather quiet in all of this, if they were

:03:08. > :03:11.responsible on earth was? There's a lot of evidence that the police were

:03:12. > :03:16.told about these cases and didn't act. They were caught or house where

:03:17. > :03:18.a 13`year`old girl had called for their help and when they turned up

:03:19. > :03:24.they found her drunk and hiding under the bed of an Asian man in his

:03:25. > :03:30.30s. They arrested her for being drunk and disorderly. They paid no

:03:31. > :03:36.attention to him. No action taken to having a 13`year`old naked girl in

:03:37. > :03:42.his bedroom. The police prefer to think that these girls were

:03:43. > :03:48.prostitutes or slags or responsible for their behaviour. The victims

:03:49. > :03:53.were being blamed. The numbers that this report highlights. 1400. Is

:03:54. > :03:58.that the tip of the iceberg as some papers suggest? Who knows what's

:03:59. > :04:02.happening elsewhere. Regardless of whether Shaun Wright who is the

:04:03. > :04:12.former Labour councillor responsible for social services, he's now the

:04:13. > :04:16.Police and Crime Commissioner. He is making it clear that he doesn't want

:04:17. > :04:25.to resign. You wonder who is advising him on that. How can anyone

:04:26. > :04:28.have any confidence in him rightly or wrongly given the report that's

:04:29. > :04:35.taken place? That's right. This is one of the flaws. Tories set it up

:04:36. > :04:43.with the idea that they would be invulnerable to local pressure. If

:04:44. > :04:47.the electorate doesn't like you you will get voted out that there are

:04:48. > :04:54.years to go before another election. The Labour Party would like him to

:04:55. > :04:58.go because he's an embarrassment. They can expel him from the

:04:59. > :05:03.government. No one has any power to say you are off. I come from a part

:05:04. > :05:08.of a country where we had an election last week for a Police and

:05:09. > :05:17.Crime Commissioner. The turnout was under 15%. That's the other flip

:05:18. > :05:28.side. Going onto the Guardian. Wilfully blind. The evidence seemed

:05:29. > :05:33.to be there, but those people with a statutory duty to protect children

:05:34. > :05:40.seem to ignore it. This comes from an interview with the Deputy First

:05:41. > :05:46.children's minister. Her comments are intended to broaden the case

:05:47. > :05:49.beyond Rotherham and similar cases of abuse. She cautioned despite the

:05:50. > :05:57.emphasis placed on most of the victims were poor and white, while

:05:58. > :06:03.the perpetrators were Asian, she said it affected all communities and

:06:04. > :06:08.races. On the BBC News channel you've had interviews and you've

:06:09. > :06:18.been reporting on your own Asian channels. We've been asking what

:06:19. > :06:21.does the Pakistani feel about the way this has been reported? There

:06:22. > :06:29.have been some very strong views expressed. It would be fascinating

:06:30. > :06:35.to see how it plays out. I interviewed the head of the slim

:06:36. > :06:40.women's network which works on behalf of Muslim women. It was

:06:41. > :06:44.fascinating. She was talking about the fact that is in a Muslim

:06:45. > :06:51.household the mother or the sister or one of the female members notice

:06:52. > :06:56.something strange about the menfolk and feels that there may be grooming

:06:57. > :07:01.taking place they are often reluctant to speak out because they

:07:02. > :07:04.will be ostracised by their community. She said society needs to

:07:05. > :07:10.intervene to provide a safe haven for these women who will feel they

:07:11. > :07:13.can come forward and say I think something dodgy is going on with

:07:14. > :07:19.so`and`so in the household. That's an interesting take. There has to be

:07:20. > :07:23.much more openness about the fact there are sexual exploitation taking

:07:24. > :07:28.place across all races but it often indifferent cultural forms. You can

:07:29. > :07:34.get black gangs in London where girls are raped for members to prove

:07:35. > :07:39.their masculinity and then raped by rival gangs to get back at the

:07:40. > :07:44.original gangs. That's troublesome. We've known about a lot of

:07:45. > :07:49.exploitation in white communities. Look about elderly white men from

:07:50. > :07:54.Jimmy Savile onwards exploiting girls. We have to investigate how

:07:55. > :08:02.it's happening in different areas and spot the different patterns. A

:08:03. > :08:09.report earlier this year didn't get much attention. There is appalling

:08:10. > :08:12.sexual abuse taking place all over England and police forces and social

:08:13. > :08:19.services are averting their eyes. I'm afraid everyone was looking

:08:20. > :08:23.around and saying in what ways have children been mistreated. This will

:08:24. > :08:31.make us look at what is happening now. We will have to put resources

:08:32. > :08:34.into this. A lot of the time social workers don't want to look at the

:08:35. > :08:37.reality of what's going on underneath it because then they

:08:38. > :08:52.would have to take action. It's expensive. There's not much money

:08:53. > :08:59.around. This has been going on quite recently. None of this is history.

:09:00. > :09:07.The Financial Times and Christine Lagarde. A leading light of

:09:08. > :09:16.international finance, French. Like Dominic Strauss Kahn. In no other

:09:17. > :09:23.way is she like him. I meant being French. She is being investigated.

:09:24. > :09:29.Innocent until proven guilty. Caught up in a corruption scandal dating

:09:30. > :09:34.back to her time as finance minister. We are always prejudiced.

:09:35. > :09:38.I've always thought of her as a heroine. When I read through this

:09:39. > :09:46.copy and read it quite a minor charge that there was a corruption

:09:47. > :09:51.scandal, a businessman possibly paid off, she was finance minister and

:09:52. > :09:55.the only possible charge being laid against is that she should perhaps

:09:56. > :10:00.have intervened. Possibly a charge of negligence. No one saying that

:10:01. > :10:08.she was corrupt herself. I have high hopes she will be found innocent.

:10:09. > :10:17.The businessman to whom you refer is a former owner of a football club.

:10:18. > :10:28.He had some business difficulties. Who knew that he was a bad man? I do

:10:29. > :10:36.need to say alleged I think. I will say it anyway! The Financial Times.

:10:37. > :10:48.Ryanair. Planning to land a share of business. ?2000 to pay for a

:10:49. > :10:54.flight, would you go to Ryanair? I love this story. My old mate Michael

:10:55. > :11:03.O'Leary, changing the image of Ryanair. It's going to do business

:11:04. > :11:07.light flights. According to the Chief marketing officer of Ryanair

:11:08. > :11:13.business travellers, what they want has changed. It used to be about

:11:14. > :11:17.Lounge free snacks and free drinks but now customers want a reliable

:11:18. > :11:26.service that gets you to your destination. That's a fairly basic

:11:27. > :11:34.thing. It is quite interesting. Ryanair has had this brand, I used

:11:35. > :11:40.to ban that word. I hated it. The brand of Ryanair is very clear. It

:11:41. > :11:47.was built up deliberately by Michael O'Leary successfully and it worked.

:11:48. > :11:53.Actually, it ran out of puff. Now he's trying to change it. He puts up

:11:54. > :11:59.his marketing officer to try to change the image. I like Michael. I

:12:00. > :12:08.want to see more of you. We are running out of time. The Daily

:12:09. > :12:15.Telegraph we will do at 11:30pm. Let's go back to the Guardian. Mary

:12:16. > :12:18.Beard. How to tackle your troll. Right his job reference. A brilliant

:12:19. > :12:26.story after a run of such depressing news stories. Mary Beard was

:12:27. > :12:32.horribly traduced on Twitter by people hurling sexist abuse and

:12:33. > :12:35.being cruel about her appearance. What has she done, she befriended

:12:36. > :12:40.her patrols. She discovered they have troubles in their lives. She's

:12:41. > :12:44.taken out to lunch, writing references and finding that they are

:12:45. > :12:53.angry about health care problems. She says all she is trying to do is

:12:54. > :13:00.to stop hating badly. It's magnanimous and generous. She

:13:01. > :13:03.reached beyond the ancient Roman or didn't, to Anglo`Saxon England and

:13:04. > :13:14.used certain words that would be more appropriate. She has decided to

:13:15. > :13:18.help them. I think it is fantastic, I congratulate her and I think it is

:13:19. > :13:23.wonderful, but, for me, Twitter is changing. There is some trend in

:13:24. > :13:31.going on. This trending his people that are on Twitter but not putting

:13:32. > :13:40.themselves. They listen to what other people are saying. ``

:13:41. > :13:43.tweeting. But people are intimidated by what goes on on Twitter. I don't

:13:44. > :13:47.think that has got anything to do with Twitter watchers, it doesn't

:13:48. > :13:53.matter if people are just following feeds. I will watch the

:13:54. > :14:02.developments. You are both on Twitter? Do you get trolled? No.

:14:03. > :14:09.Even from those on the right of the political spectrum who feel you are

:14:10. > :14:14.a bit of a lefty? Well, maybe now they will start. You have been on

:14:15. > :14:21.the papers for years! Everybody that follows me has been charming. I am

:14:22. > :14:26.sure you get trolled by Manchester City fans? I learned a long time ago

:14:27. > :14:31.to give as good as I get. We are going to be back in an hour. We will

:14:32. > :14:35.have the stories behind the headlines. Stay with us on BBC News.

:14:36. > :14:40.At the top of the hour we will have much more on the local Labour

:14:41. > :14:42.Party's warning in Rotherham that it will suspend the South Yorkshire

:14:43. > :14:49.Police Commissioner Shaun Wright from the party if he has not

:14:50. > :15:02.resigned by the morning. Now it is time for Sportsday.
