rugby union to rugby league. And action from the IPC and world

:00:00.:00:00.

gymnastics championships in Sportsday in 15 minutes after the

:00:00.:00:07.

papers. -- World Gymnastics Championships.

:00:08.:00:13.

Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers

:00:14.:00:16.

With me are the Daily Mirror columnist, Susie Boniface,

:00:17.:00:19.

and the executive editor of the Huffington Post, James Martin.

:00:20.:00:22.

The Independent has a story that police have used powers

:00:23.:00:31.

under the Terrorism Act to seize the laptop of a BBC Newsnight

:00:32.:00:34.

journalist who's been investigating Western born Jihadists.

:00:35.:00:42.

The Financial Times looks at a review calling for a third

:00:43.:00:45.

of all board seats at Britain's biggest companies to be held

:00:46.:00:47.

The Metro says job advisers are to be based in food banks

:00:48.:00:53.

across the country after the idea was tried out in Manchester.

:00:54.:00:58.

The Telegraph is one of several front pages to show a picture of

:00:59.:01:01.

Prince Harry laughing with Michelle Obama at the end of a basketball

:01:02.:01:04.

Ministers ignored repeated warnings on the finances of the charity

:01:05.:01:10.

Kids Company according to the Guardian's front page.

:01:11.:01:12.

The Times leads on revelations by Sepp Blatter that England's bid

:01:13.:01:15.

to host the football World Cup in 2018 was always doomed because

:01:16.:01:18.

of a secret deal to award the tournament to Russia.

:01:19.:01:21.

And the Express says the police have run out of clues as they scale back

:01:22.:01:25.

And the Daily Mail's front page shows a crowd of marines who rallied

:01:26.:01:38.

outside Parliament demanding a retrial for a Royal Marine who

:01:39.:01:41.

was convicted of murdering a wounded Afghan insurgent.

:01:42.:01:45.

So, many papers reporting on this boy who was stabbed to death in

:01:46.:01:55.

school. The Daily Star pretty much devoting its whole front page to it.

:01:56.:01:59.

It is always shocking, isn't it? You've got to remember how rare it

:02:00.:02:04.

is in this country. Although we've had lots of high-profile crimes

:02:05.:02:10.

committed in schools, sometimes why by pupils, it is a rare occurrence,

:02:11.:02:16.

compared with America where students are killed quite often. We have to

:02:17.:02:21.

remember that a good thing. And also, our response to this is a lot

:02:22.:02:24.

more in format and measured as well. If there had been a shooting in

:02:25.:02:31.

America they would be people calling for all people in school, parents,

:02:32.:02:34.

teachers and students, all to be armed with guns -- more informed.

:02:35.:02:41.

Here is someone who has been tragically stabbed in school. No one

:02:42.:02:46.

is yet suggesting knife scanners and pat downs. We don't know what

:02:47.:02:49.

happened and no one is going to suggest everyone gets a nice. They

:02:50.:02:55.

were ten years ago with the stabbing ten years ago. The father is still

:02:56.:02:59.

campaigning for that. This is what a lot of parents who have lost

:03:00.:03:02.

teenagers to knife crime will start saying in the next few hours. They

:03:03.:03:06.

will speak to the papers and say that we have to do more to stop

:03:07.:03:11.

teenagers carrying weapons. S absolutely and the head of police

:03:12.:03:16.

got it right when he used the words shocking and extraordinaire, because

:03:17.:03:20.

it is in Britain. Especially in Aberdeen. -- absolutely. It's not

:03:21.:03:29.

uncommon for it to happen in the US. It lays bare how silly the argument

:03:30.:03:32.

is that the best way of getting crime is to arm more people. As you

:03:33.:03:36.

say, if this happened in the states, and it was a gun, people

:03:37.:03:43.

would say, we need more guns. This response in the UK is much more

:03:44.:03:48.

measured. We are rightfully not saying we need security officers

:03:49.:03:52.

armed with knives. You are right about the idea about airport

:03:53.:03:56.

scanners. It comes up time and again. This is a shocking and

:03:57.:03:59.

extraordinary incident, as the local police chief says. To try to put in

:04:00.:04:05.

an airport scanner in every school. In that is so shocking and

:04:06.:04:09.

extraordinary, it is not financially feasible. There are lots of ways,

:04:10.:04:13.

unfortunately, to kill someone if you want to. It seems to be a

:04:14.:04:18.

penknife in this case. You can use implements knocking around school

:04:19.:04:22.

quite easily. You can't stop every tragedy. We don't know the full

:04:23.:04:27.

details around this stabbing incident, but what we know is that

:04:28.:04:32.

teenagers carry knives, sometimes without wanting to abuse them. I

:04:33.:04:36.

carry a knife, I have a penknife in my handbag at all times because it

:04:37.:04:39.

has a handy screwdriver and tweezers. She was just using it.

:04:40.:04:47.

That is why you are carrying it. Technically it is an offensive

:04:48.:04:52.

weapon. A policeman could arrest me. In the US, it is undoubtedly a

:04:53.:04:59.

problem, with gun crime there, and I wouldn't argue that people in the UK

:05:00.:05:05.

don't think we have a knife crime problem. I would rather knife crime

:05:06.:05:09.

than gun crime. You can't really have collateral damage with a nice.

:05:10.:05:13.

A lot of officers will say the hardest thing to find is a knife

:05:14.:05:18.

rather than a gun. I fancy my chances against a knife rather than

:05:19.:05:24.

a gun. We can try it out later, I've got one in my handbag. Ministers

:05:25.:05:32.

ignored repeated warnings on Kids Company. We've heard it before. More

:05:33.:05:37.

detailed in the Guardian though. Reports that Labour and conservative

:05:38.:05:42.

ministers have given Kids Company ?50 million over years despite

:05:43.:05:51.

warnings to be cautious. They seemed to have intervened to overrule

:05:52.:05:55.

officials when they've raised problems and there was at no point a

:05:56.:05:59.

competitive process to apply for the grants, which happens with every

:06:00.:06:02.

other charity. If the government doesn't demand a charity that gets

:06:03.:06:07.

public money behaves in a responsible manner, then it is

:06:08.:06:10.

expected that charity will do whatever it likes. The government

:06:11.:06:16.

got what it asked for. It wasn't applying the rules it does for other

:06:17.:06:21.

charities, why was this one special? It gives credence to what everybody

:06:22.:06:26.

was saying, especially when it was found out that Kids Company had

:06:27.:06:30.

received ?3 million in five days before it was declared bankrupt,

:06:31.:06:34.

that this organisation had a spell on the likes of David Cameron. Not

:06:35.:06:38.

because they were doing a great job? Absolutely, and don't forget

:06:39.:06:42.

the victims are those that were using the services and they are not

:06:43.:06:46.

getting help, what has happened to them? These are the forgotten

:06:47.:06:50.

victims in this incident, which has essentially become a political row.

:06:51.:06:53.

They are collateral damage and we shouldn't forget that. The Daily

:06:54.:06:59.

Express dedicate his page to the development of lack of development I

:07:00.:07:03.

suppose regarding Madeleine McCann. Police have run out of clues -- or

:07:04.:07:09.

lack of. This is a story about the fact that the Met Police are cutting

:07:10.:07:12.

down the amount of officers involved. Extraordinary numbers, ?11

:07:13.:07:18.

million had been spent on this investigation, you are talking about

:07:19.:07:22.

1300 statements that have been taken, 1000 recorded exhibits, 9000

:07:23.:07:27.

interviews, 60 sightings. Eight years later, not a single arrest.

:07:28.:07:32.

They have been quite a few arrest but no charges. You can understand

:07:33.:07:38.

why... No Madeleine. That is the important thing. I covered the story

:07:39.:07:44.

when she disappeared in 2007. I was therefore brief while. If she had

:07:45.:07:49.

been found, wherever she might be now, if she is alive, she would be

:07:50.:07:53.

11, on the cusp of adolescence, turning into a young woman. Whenever

:07:54.:08:00.

she comes up in public discussion, especially on social media, a lot of

:08:01.:08:04.

people criticise the parents. If anyone is thinking about that, I

:08:05.:08:07.

would like them to stop and think how it must feel to have your child

:08:08.:08:11.

disappear into a currently thin air at the age of three, and eight years

:08:12.:08:16.

later find the police haven't run out of clues, they have less to look

:08:17.:08:21.

at, but it is being downgraded. She would be 11 years old. We still

:08:22.:08:26.

don't have any evidence, no hair, no trace, no sighting, and that must be

:08:27.:08:30.

devastating for anyone involved. Interesting to note, the spokesman

:08:31.:08:36.

still saying Kate and Gerry are not giving up. There has been another 2

:08:37.:08:39.

million given to the investigation for the officers to continue. It

:08:40.:08:45.

isn't coming out of the net's budget. They have some clues but I

:08:46.:08:52.

think we are waiting for aid miracle -- Met's budget. Moving onto the

:08:53.:08:56.

Daily Telegraph, MI5 on hacking. Tell us more about this. I am not

:08:57.:09:02.

surprised. You know... Why would you be? We've been told this has

:09:03.:09:09.

happened. Absolutely. Two aspects to this, planning mass attacks on

:09:10.:09:16.

Britain. I am not surprised. MI5 is hacking ISIS and people associated

:09:17.:09:20.

with ISIS. Yes, it's not only the bad guys that do hacking. Good guys

:09:21.:09:26.

hack as well. Wouldn't you expect security services, with the huge

:09:27.:09:31.

numbers, and it is interesting that four fifths of MI5's agency numbers

:09:32.:09:34.

are working on terrorism related issues. You would expect that these

:09:35.:09:41.

guides asked trained in terms of technical surveillance, going into

:09:42.:09:44.

the depths of computers -- guys. As we might see in the Independent, if

:09:45.:09:49.

they are trying to access journalists' computers, surely they

:09:50.:09:52.

are looking at the computers and data from a terrorist as well. We

:09:53.:09:57.

are not just looking at well-organised, large cells or large

:09:58.:10:02.

groups of people, it can be an individual who has been radicalised

:10:03.:10:07.

and born into the ideology. That is the central threat of this current

:10:08.:10:13.

kind of terrorism we've got. Unlike the IRA, from the 70s and 80s, there

:10:14.:10:18.

isn't an overarching organisation, there isn't a structure, which you

:10:19.:10:23.

can infiltrate. These are small cells of radicalised people often

:10:24.:10:26.

sent off to invent something by themselves. What's interesting is

:10:27.:10:31.

Andrew Parker is director of the security services and he is saying

:10:32.:10:35.

there is more instruction coming from Islamic State from Syria,

:10:36.:10:39.

people in contact with people here. There is perhaps more they structure

:10:40.:10:41.

developing and therefore it is harder to track down. If they were

:10:42.:10:46.

not hacking computers and mobile phones terrorists, I want to know

:10:47.:10:49.

what the hell we were spending our money on, to be honest. Does it give

:10:50.:10:54.

police the right to do what the Independent reports on the front

:10:55.:10:57.

page, police using laws to confiscate the laptop of a Newsnight

:10:58.:11:07.

producer who has been in in touch with terrorist in the UK stock -- in

:11:08.:11:15.

the UK. Are we doing policing right that we have to seize the computer

:11:16.:11:19.

of a journalist who is doing his job to get the intelligence useful to

:11:20.:11:25.

security. In the public interest. Absolutely. A source who is not a

:11:26.:11:31.

confidential source. These people have gone to fight for ISIS are not

:11:32.:11:35.

exactly in deep cover. These people are surfacing in social media, they

:11:36.:11:41.

are on Twitter, SnapChat, WhatsApp. Should we go to the extent where we

:11:42.:11:44.

are seizing the laptops of journalistic? This is lazy police

:11:45.:11:49.

work, asking the BBC Two research for them when it is so easy to find.

:11:50.:11:53.

We should be glad they are not hacking the journalists' computers

:11:54.:12:01.

from far -- BBC to research. If you are speaking to a jihadist plotting

:12:02.:12:05.

attacks against the UK, to be honest, who is using Newsnight for

:12:06.:12:09.

propaganda purposes. He has already appeared. He has done that to

:12:10.:12:13.

provoke fear and terror. You think it is a message? To be honest, if I

:12:14.:12:18.

was that journalist, to save my laptop, which has information about

:12:19.:12:22.

thousands of other stories I might want to access, I think in the

:12:23.:12:25.

interest of my journalism it would be better to try to keep hold of a

:12:26.:12:30.

laptop. This person is plainly a criminal, plainly not operating in

:12:31.:12:34.

anybody's best interest but his own and the Islamic State, and is not a

:12:35.:12:37.

confidential source, and he is easy to track down, I would give MI5 the

:12:38.:12:44.

information. I wouldn't wait for them to get a warrant. It would be

:12:45.:12:47.

easier to give them the info. As the BBC points out, the editor of

:12:48.:12:51.

Newsnight, we wouldn't stand in the way of a police investigation but we

:12:52.:12:54.

wouldn't do the work of the police. There is a line that shouldn't be

:12:55.:12:58.

crossed. And you have the feeling that he was going through the

:12:59.:13:02.

motion. The police had to apply for a warrant to get access to the

:13:03.:13:05.

computer for a court order. That is fine. Ian Katz isn't going to say

:13:06.:13:12.

no. You can't stand on principles at all times. There are occasions when

:13:13.:13:15.

journalists have info that would help the police. Especially if there

:13:16.:13:21.

is a victim. It is not unusual for the police to contact journalists

:13:22.:13:24.

and ask for help. Usually we did it because it is not a problem. In this

:13:25.:13:29.

instance they stood on a principle and I think, personally, because

:13:30.:13:32.

they've taken away a laptop with more information on it, there is no

:13:33.:13:36.

reason not to have given him up earlier. Great publicity for

:13:37.:13:42.

Newsnight and even better for the fantastic young journalist.

:13:43.:13:49.

Fantastic producer. The Times newspaper, well, when you read the

:13:50.:13:54.

headline, secret Fifa deal ruined World Cup bid. Not too many would be

:13:55.:13:59.

surprised by the headline. Who is it coming from? Sepp Blatter. He has

:14:00.:14:04.

started throwing people under the bus. He is facing two criminal

:14:05.:14:08.

investigations on two consonants. He is stepping down as the head of

:14:09.:14:12.

Fifa, which he has been in charge of Fifa, which he has been in charge

:14:13.:14:18.

for he is tucking his cohort and his heir apparent, Michel Platini, off

:14:19.:14:24.

the back of a coach. Although they had agreed to give the World Cup to

:14:25.:14:31.

rush out and then America, it was screwed up because Platini went for

:14:32.:14:34.

lunch with Sarkozy who had been at lunch with guitar and they gave it

:14:35.:14:39.

to Qatar instead. The corruption that Sepp Blatter may or may not

:14:40.:14:42.

have been in charge of didn't work well because Nicolas Sarkozy could

:14:43.:14:46.

laugh it up -- Qatar. Is that the best type of corruption, the fact

:14:47.:14:51.

that it didn't work! Yeah! It doesn't mean that if I talk about

:14:52.:14:54.

taking over the BBC that it will happen. Britain spent ?21 million

:14:55.:14:59.

when all we had to do was take Nicolas Sarkozy to lunch, so they

:15:00.:15:02.

should be an audit on what we spend the money on. And more demands to

:15:03.:15:06.

have the money paid back. Let's just finished the papers tonight with the

:15:07.:15:12.

peak of Prince Harry and Michelle Obama in Virginia, in the US to

:15:13.:15:15.

promote the Invictus Games for injured soldiers, to be held next

:15:16.:15:19.

year in Florida. Clearly getting on and clearly very happy with his work

:15:20.:15:24.

as well. And doing a good job, which is rare for a royal! And looking

:15:25.:15:29.

very happy too. Enjoying what he is doing. Thank you for taking us

:15:30.:15:33.

through the papers. We had a lot of stories to cover. We will be back

:15:34.:15:37.

the same time tomorrow. Coming up next on BBC News, all of the latest

:15:38.:15:39.

sport in Sportsday. Our headlines tonight:

:15:40.:15:48.

Manchester United are knocked out They're beaten on penalties

:15:49.:15:55.

by Championship side Middlesbrough
