:00:22. > :00:25.Coming up in sports Day: Bad news for Jose Mourinho, is a -- Eva

:00:26. > :00:36.Carniero is taking legal action. All that ahead. -- Sportsday.

:00:37. > :00:38.Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers

:00:39. > :00:43.With me are Dan Bilefsky of the New York Times and Tim Montogmerie,

:00:44. > :00:46.Tomorrow's front pages, starting with the FT, which leads with

:00:47. > :00:49.reports that senior European Central Bank officials held meetings with

:00:50. > :00:52.senior figures from the financial service industry in the run-up to

:00:53. > :00:58.making important policy decisions like setting interest rates.

:00:59. > :01:12.It is technology at its best? That isn't working -- British technology.

:01:13. > :01:26.Two papers looking at the same story. David Cameron backs down over

:01:27. > :01:31.plans to bomb Syria. Number 10 are apparently denying on Twitter that

:01:32. > :01:36.these stories are accurate. Perhaps we should leave that for tomorrow.

:01:37. > :01:42.What we do know is that David Cameron has, for a long time, been

:01:43. > :01:45.determined to revisit this issue of military intervention in Syria. He

:01:46. > :01:52.lost that vote a couple of years ago in Parliament, we do now have a

:01:53. > :01:56.majority conservative government and he could potentially get it through

:01:57. > :02:00.the House of Commons. The number of Tory MPs who are very against a

:02:01. > :02:03.military intervention have been saying for a little while, he

:02:04. > :02:07.doesn't have the votes. These stories would appear to confirm

:02:08. > :02:11.that, you doesn't want to put this to the vote in the House of Commons

:02:12. > :02:22.unless he is sure he can win. He can't afford to lose twice. He is

:02:23. > :02:29.being portrayed as a sort of Jeremy Corbyn associate among Conservative.

:02:30. > :02:33.It is not splitting along party lines, people from all parties have

:02:34. > :02:42.differing opinions I do if I had to list the issues which divide the

:02:43. > :02:51.Conservative Party... -- opinions? If I had to. After the Iraq War and

:02:52. > :03:00.Syria, the question of what role Britain plays in intervening in

:03:01. > :03:09.other countries, that probably splits the Conservatives as well as

:03:10. > :03:13.Labour. President Obama has sent advisers. Only advisers at this

:03:14. > :03:18.stage? But, they are there. Not Brits on the ground, but giving

:03:19. > :03:22.strategic advice. There is a perception in this country that

:03:23. > :03:29.Britain is no longer a global player, this plays into that tripe.

:03:30. > :03:35.Not that anyone would wish the issues of Syria on anyone. -- trope.

:03:36. > :03:40.It is true that there is a lot of focus on Britain and its role at the

:03:41. > :03:47.moment. The Syrian crisis, foreign aid, says the Daily Mail, the

:03:48. > :04:00.damning truth. Money for refugees squandered by the UN? It sounds like

:04:01. > :04:04.the million that written donated -- Britain has been squandered on

:04:05. > :04:10.admin? I don't see much evidence in this story showing that the UN has

:04:11. > :04:17.squandered this money. It is very hard to assess it, frankly. It seems

:04:18. > :04:25.like a screaming headlines. -- headline. It says that a lot of the

:04:26. > :04:36.cash is not accounted for, we don't know if it has been spent wisely.

:04:37. > :04:38.The UN and lots of multinational organisations do have a bad

:04:39. > :04:43.reputation of overseeing money. When you have won government, one set of

:04:44. > :04:49.people, it is easier to keep track. When it becomes part of those more

:04:50. > :04:52.remote bodies, such as the UN or the EU, you have trouble with

:04:53. > :04:57.accounting. The Daily Mail has been spouting stories about migrants

:04:58. > :05:07.invading this country, juxtaposed with positive stories such as Cecil

:05:08. > :05:12.the line. Forgive me if I am sceptical. I agree, I think the

:05:13. > :05:16.Daily Mail does have an agenda. It is often covering stories in a

:05:17. > :05:21.negative fashion. I worry about the UN's accountability, we do have to

:05:22. > :05:30.do something to help the people in Syria. The Daily Mail is reluctant

:05:31. > :05:33.thrust to let them into our own countries, or we can try and have

:05:34. > :05:39.them in these refugee camps. Saying we are not going to do anything, not

:05:40. > :05:46.on Syria, not give aid to the camps, not let them come into Europe...

:05:47. > :05:54.That is the epitome of selfishness. The Daily Mirror's headline, and

:05:55. > :05:59.exclusive. It is very early to say about what has really gone on with

:06:00. > :06:11.this plane that came down in the sin eye Peninsula. -- Sinai. They said

:06:12. > :06:16.it was not a result of human error before they even discovered the

:06:17. > :06:19.black box. It is possible that a bomb could have been snuck onto the

:06:20. > :06:25.plane, at this point it is completely speculation. One has to

:06:26. > :06:30.be very, very careful to make hypotheses. The claims that Islamic

:06:31. > :06:34.State is responsible... They said they were, but we have not heard

:06:35. > :06:40.much more about that. Is past history is to go by, these Hollywood

:06:41. > :06:46.style videos of documenting their attacks, or we have here is a Green

:06:47. > :06:51.image of an alleged missile being launched. One needs to be very

:06:52. > :06:57.sceptical. So many vested interests when a plane crashes. The airline

:06:58. > :07:02.operator, the plane company, the country in which it came down. The

:07:03. > :07:06.other question, it is interesting hearing in the Egyptian news,

:07:07. > :07:13.Egyptian authorities immediately said not to assume it is a bomb.

:07:14. > :07:18.They are worried, as many developing countries are, that their security

:07:19. > :07:26.will be seen as weak. The largest number of people who visit Egypt are

:07:27. > :07:35.Russians. They help their tourism. I think there? -- the question at the

:07:36. > :07:44.end of the Mirror's story reveals everything. My opening gambit is

:07:45. > :07:56.never to trust in the opening headline. -- and opening. Changes to

:07:57. > :07:59.the police forces, some of them will take a massive hit and don't feel

:08:00. > :08:05.they will be able to properly police? Last week we were talking

:08:06. > :08:09.about the tax credit, the big cut that the government tried to make

:08:10. > :08:14.which caused all the trouble. We are at the beginning, only half of the

:08:15. > :08:21.deficit has come and another half still have to be made. Police are

:08:22. > :08:25.just one of the cuts. It is a potential stream of headaches for

:08:26. > :08:30.the government. When you have made the cuts, you make the easy cuts

:08:31. > :08:34.first. All the ones yet to be made are difficult. We know there are

:08:35. > :08:46.cuts to be made to police, crime has still fallen. In New York, in 2011,

:08:47. > :08:51.there were some famously significant cuts to the NYPD. At the same time,

:08:52. > :08:57.the murder rate decreased. We are living at a we are seeing cuts

:08:58. > :09:07.across the board. We saw the Weetabix chap who was in hiding, he

:09:08. > :09:18.no longer has a police guard -- Wikileaks. The Times, the Times in

:09:19. > :09:28.London. Not to be confused with any other kind of times. We need to have

:09:29. > :09:33.an arm-wrestle. Family dogs reduce risk of asthma in children. I am

:09:34. > :09:43.pleased to read it, but how is blue it is an amazing story, who doesn't

:09:44. > :09:47.love a cuddly dog -- but how? It is an amazing story. It is

:09:48. > :09:51.counterintuitive, you would expect having a dog would actually cause

:09:52. > :09:57.asthma. This story shows that having a dog activates the immune system

:09:58. > :10:02.against asthma. It is a good news story. It is a global story,

:10:03. > :10:09.everyone can relate to it. You have the headline, are you filthy and of?

:10:10. > :10:14.We need to stop washing our hands and we can have a dog in our home.

:10:15. > :10:23.There is a story in the Telegraph talking about eating... Eating food

:10:24. > :10:28.past its sell by date. It is so difficult to know, but good to know

:10:29. > :10:36.you can have a dog in the house without worrying about the

:10:37. > :10:42.cleanliness. It is bad for children not to be exposed to things that

:10:43. > :10:47.don't allow them to build up a resistance. And this was explored in

:10:48. > :10:52.Sweden, which makes you want to trust it. We mustn't succumb to

:10:53. > :11:00.national stereotypes. The Sun, soft drink alert. Diet Coke heart risk,

:11:01. > :11:12.two dei? It is not difficult to avoid drinking two a day, is it? 25%

:11:13. > :11:23.in danger, soon there will be a story about how it to as

:11:24. > :11:28.Alzheimer's. Die -- Diet Coke, surely there are other brands

:11:29. > :11:33.available. I need to see a study. There is very little detail here at

:11:34. > :11:37.as to the degree, what kind of trial took place to come to this

:11:38. > :11:42.conclusion. It will resonate with a lot of people, because a lot of

:11:43. > :11:47.people drink Diet Coke. Robert, the sceptic in my ear, points out that a

:11:48. > :11:52.25% increase could just be a couple of people. It's something else that

:11:53. > :11:55.you feel like you can't have, isn't it? Everything in moderation is what

:11:56. > :12:02.my mother taught me, which I think is true. The problem is, there is a

:12:03. > :12:09.lot of talk about sugar and soft drink. People think, if they have

:12:10. > :12:14.the diet version, they are not having the calories. Now there is

:12:15. > :12:19.something else wrong. Line you can actually gain weight, it affects

:12:20. > :12:28.your insulin levels. Every day there is a different study coming out,

:12:29. > :12:36.contradicting information. --. You can actually gain weight. This is

:12:37. > :12:48.going to put some people off. The Telegraph, a picture of Margaret

:12:49. > :12:55.Thatcher on the front page. Turning down the Thatcher collection,

:12:56. > :12:59.clothes, jewellery and other items offered at turned down. They are

:13:00. > :13:05.going to be put up for sale. One of the Twitter users is they made the

:13:06. > :13:12.right decision, she said she was not stylish or iconic. Only men would

:13:13. > :13:17.think otherwise. Who is that? Ideology or gender aside, Margaret

:13:18. > :13:21.thatcher was an icon. It is debatable whether she was a fashion

:13:22. > :13:26.icon, but whether you like didn't like her she was an icon particular

:13:27. > :13:33.like her she was an iconparticular particular. Towards the end of her

:13:34. > :13:43.time in office, she wore a lot of the great British fashion brands. Do

:13:44. > :13:48.all politicians deserve an exhibition? I think it is a

:13:49. > :13:52.juxtaposition to go from Alexander McQueen to Margaret Thatcher, I

:13:53. > :14:03.think people would be interested. It was the woman who put prices on the

:14:04. > :14:10.map, wasn't she? She did. What goes inside the handbag, you might call

:14:11. > :14:22.it a pocketbook. -- she was. Would you go to see it? Of course. When it

:14:23. > :14:28.goes to auction, we will put you down for a headscarf and a string of

:14:29. > :14:35.pearls. That is it for the paper review. I hope you come back. Coming

:14:36. > :14:47.up next, it's time for Sportsday. Coming up:

:14:48. > :14:50."Things can only get worse" if
