nervous wait after he cited for making contact with opponent's eyes. | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
-- an opponent. to what the the papers | :00:00. | :00:14. | |
will be bringing us tomorrow. With me are Deborah Haynes, | :00:15. | :00:19. | |
who's defence editor with the Times, political editor | :00:20. | :00:25. | |
for the Daily Record. The Daily Telegraph, get us started | :00:26. | :00:37. | |
on this, Deborah, Cameron will back the Muslim veil ban, we knew what he | :00:38. | :00:46. | |
wanted to do about people speaking English, this goes further. The | :00:47. | :00:51. | |
Telegraph has picked up comments made in an interview by David | :00:52. | :00:54. | |
Cameron with the Today programme this morning, and it talks about how | :00:55. | :01:03. | |
the veil could be banned for students at school, institutions | :01:04. | :01:07. | |
such as courts, people arriving at the border. He is not saying it goes | :01:08. | :01:13. | |
as far as a French style actual ban, but in certain situations he says | :01:14. | :01:20. | |
that he could see the sense of, you know, Muslim women not being allowed | :01:21. | :01:25. | |
to wear the veil, which, you know, the Telegraph goes into depth about | :01:26. | :01:28. | |
how this will reignite the debate about whether it would be a French | :01:29. | :01:33. | |
style ban over the veil, and he also, it also goes on to talk about | :01:34. | :01:39. | |
a range of measures that the Government is preparing, apparently, | :01:40. | :01:44. | |
to stop British Muslims from being radicalised and travelling to join | :01:45. | :01:47. | |
Islamic State in Iraq and Syria, which seems to be the foundation for | :01:48. | :01:52. | |
it all. Indeed, Torcuil, this is the second leg of it, the idea that | :01:53. | :01:55. | |
those who do not speak English and be encouraged to do so, even though | :01:56. | :02:00. | |
the funding for that was cut in recent years. This will be day two | :02:01. | :02:06. | |
of Cameron's clamp down on Muslims, as you could portray it, because he | :02:07. | :02:11. | |
managed to conflate and confuse the story on the radio, ?20 million to | :02:12. | :02:16. | |
fund education for Mars and women coming into Britain who do not speak | :02:17. | :02:22. | |
English, that is fine. -- for Muslim women. He managed to conflate that | :02:23. | :02:27. | |
with radicalisation, with the fear that the Government and lots of | :02:28. | :02:30. | |
people in Britain have about parts of the Muslim community being | :02:31. | :02:36. | |
radicalised and going to fight for Isis, and this was not clever | :02:37. | :02:39. | |
politics. The Telegraph have taken the quotes, shaken this about a bit, | :02:40. | :02:47. | |
and managed to put this into the day two story about the veil, which | :02:48. | :02:53. | |
opens up... It has been talked about for some time, in France too. For a | :02:54. | :02:57. | |
lot of people, it will resonate, they may think we should go down the | :02:58. | :03:02. | |
French road. The French road seems prescriptive to me and other people, | :03:03. | :03:06. | |
and even Cameron himself says that people are free to wear what they | :03:07. | :03:09. | |
want within reason, but there will be places, courts, hospitals, | :03:10. | :03:18. | |
perhaps council buildings... Schools is an interesting one. At the | :03:19. | :03:24. | |
barrier between the private and public breaks down in these places, | :03:25. | :03:29. | |
people become part of a bigger society, which is what is behind | :03:30. | :03:34. | |
this whole thing, about trying to get citizenship and a sense of | :03:35. | :03:38. | |
Britishness and a sense of belonging, because there is this | :03:39. | :03:41. | |
uncertainty and fear now about whether we live in one community or | :03:42. | :03:47. | |
two or five or ten, the sense of community breaking down. Let's move | :03:48. | :03:53. | |
on, right, Torcuil, the Financial Times, the big story of the day, the | :03:54. | :04:01. | |
problems with steel, Tata cutting 1000 jobs in Port Talbot, and the | :04:02. | :04:06. | |
Chinese getting the blame. The Chinese, quite rightly, getting the | :04:07. | :04:10. | |
blame! There are other factors, it has to be said. You have to blame | :04:11. | :04:15. | |
the phenomenon of globalisation, really. Basically, the world | :04:16. | :04:19. | |
produces too much steel, and there is no demand for it. China produces | :04:20. | :04:24. | |
1.1 billion tonnes of the stuff, and we only need 1.6 billion tonnes per | :04:25. | :04:28. | |
year. There is no greater symbol of that than the car park at Port | :04:29. | :04:34. | |
Talbot, where the steel is stacked up in the car park, because they | :04:35. | :04:37. | |
have got nowhere else to put it and they cannot sell it. The FT has gone | :04:38. | :04:43. | |
on moving the story forward from the job losses, 750 at Port Talbot, more | :04:44. | :04:47. | |
in the North of England, they have moved it on to this thing called | :04:48. | :04:52. | |
market economy status, which is what China wants from the World Trade | :04:53. | :04:55. | |
Organisation this year, and it looks like the WTO might give them it, a | :04:56. | :05:01. | |
market where what I am willing to pay for the commodity is what you | :05:02. | :05:04. | |
will sell it at, and the state does not have any interference in the | :05:05. | :05:10. | |
market. Of course, China's mass of control of its economy, it is not a | :05:11. | :05:15. | |
market economy yet, and experts have been warning that granting China | :05:16. | :05:20. | |
this status would cost Europe, one of the biggest markets, it would | :05:21. | :05:25. | |
cost it 3.5 million jobs, and something like ?228 billion of lost | :05:26. | :05:35. | |
orders. All very good and so forth, but, Deborah, the impact on Port | :05:36. | :05:39. | |
Talbot, we have seen it in other places, Middlesbrough and so on, it | :05:40. | :05:43. | |
is not just the jobs immediately at risk, other industries and | :05:44. | :05:49. | |
businesses, little businesses, cafes, bus companies, everybody | :05:50. | :05:53. | |
suffers accordingly. Absolutely, such a wide reaching issue. There | :05:54. | :05:57. | |
was like a debate in Parliament today about defence is used, talking | :05:58. | :06:02. | |
about the nuclear deterrent, and the replacement of the submarines, | :06:03. | :06:05. | |
asking whether steel for that project will be British or Chinese. | :06:06. | :06:12. | |
So it touches all walks of life, and this story in the FT is a very clear | :06:13. | :06:17. | |
about the impact, and it seems like this is going to happen. It is just | :06:18. | :06:22. | |
a massive correction anyway that, you know, the whole world deals with | :06:23. | :06:27. | |
producing and purchasing steel. Linked to that, and other FT | :06:28. | :06:32. | |
front-page story, Deborah, about what is happening in the oil market, | :06:33. | :06:37. | |
Iran apparently threatening to increase production considerably. | :06:38. | :06:40. | |
The price is already going down like a stone, surely it can only go down | :06:41. | :06:46. | |
further. Fascinating story, we have had years and years of diplomacy | :06:47. | :06:50. | |
ending in this historic moment, the sanctions that were imposed on the | :06:51. | :06:53. | |
Iranian regime to stop it from developing a nuclear bomb have been | :06:54. | :06:59. | |
lifted, and immediately it is very orchestrated, isn't it? Clearly a | :07:00. | :07:02. | |
lot of planning, people knew this was going to happen, and immediately | :07:03. | :07:07. | |
they have ordered an increase of 500,000 barrels a day in its | :07:08. | :07:11. | |
production, and apparently Iranian tankers loaded with 50 million | :07:12. | :07:16. | |
barrels of crude... Half a million. 50 million barrels setting sail | :07:17. | :07:21. | |
following the lifting of the sanctions. I love these little | :07:22. | :07:28. | |
details! Very interestingly, the price of oil went down to $28 per | :07:29. | :07:36. | |
barrel, which is its lowest level since 2003, and you have got major | :07:37. | :07:40. | |
banks warning last week, or predicting last week, that it is | :07:41. | :07:45. | |
going to go even further, down to about $10 per barrel. That is a | :07:46. | :07:50. | |
level we have not seen since the Asian financial crisis. A heck of a | :07:51. | :07:56. | |
difficult situation for everybody concerned, but the net effect will | :07:57. | :08:01. | |
be oil going down, which is good in some ways. Cheap petrol. But not | :08:02. | :08:07. | |
many other places. Good for filling your oil tank for your stove this | :08:08. | :08:11. | |
winter, or if you are driving onto the fork out of the supermarket | :08:12. | :08:16. | |
petrol station, paying less than ?1 per litre. Bad news if you work in | :08:17. | :08:21. | |
the North Sea, bad news if you live in Aberdeenshire or the Northeast, | :08:22. | :08:24. | |
some of the highest earning postcodes in the UK will be hit by | :08:25. | :08:28. | |
this, and not a street, Robel Village will be affected by a | :08:29. | :08:38. | |
downturn in the North Sea. -- not a street, road or village. MI5 | :08:39. | :08:43. | |
declared best LGBT employer, maybe some people will think what that | :08:44. | :08:50. | |
means? Lesbian, gay, bisexual, transsexual, gay would be the short | :08:51. | :08:55. | |
code we would use. Stonewall has declared that MI5, the Secret | :08:56. | :09:01. | |
Intelligence Service, is the best employer in diversifying its | :09:02. | :09:04. | |
workforce, getting different people to work for it. The question is, how | :09:05. | :09:09. | |
do we know that? Aren't they meant to be secret agents?! And the story | :09:10. | :09:15. | |
behind that, MI5 is recruiting furiously just now to counter the | :09:16. | :09:20. | |
terror threat that it meets from Islamic fundamentalism, and the | :09:21. | :09:27. | |
number of staff they employ maybe far in excess of that. Interesting | :09:28. | :09:32. | |
how Islamic State have a hardline rule against gay people, checking | :09:33. | :09:37. | |
them off buildings, a bit of a counter narrative, it shows how | :09:38. | :09:41. | |
different we are. Certainly a surprise. Deborah, the Sun, crack | :09:42. | :09:45. | |
shot this, what is this about? This is | :09:46. | :09:54. | |
part and parcel of a big kind of story, a much larger to do with | :09:55. | :09:59. | |
after the Iraq invasion, and also the war in Afghanistan, lots and | :10:00. | :10:05. | |
lots of claims being made about alleged abuse by British forces, and | :10:06. | :10:10. | |
it has resulted in this huge historic allegations tribunal being | :10:11. | :10:16. | |
set up by the MOD, independent of the MOD, to look into these | :10:17. | :10:21. | |
allegations, and there are 1500 allegations that are being looked | :10:22. | :10:25. | |
at, affecting almost 300 soldiers. There is a sense of outrage on the | :10:26. | :10:32. | |
part of the military that, you know, it is ambulance chasing lawyers, | :10:33. | :10:37. | |
that sort of thing. This particular story? This particular story is | :10:38. | :10:41. | |
talking about how, allegedly, a British sniper is being probed for | :10:42. | :10:48. | |
killing an Iraqi who was about to throw a grenade because he did not | :10:49. | :10:52. | |
shout a warning shot. He would have been the first sniper in history to | :10:53. | :10:57. | |
do that! On the streets of Britain, police have to shout a warning, but | :10:58. | :11:02. | |
I am not sure that it ever applied to soldiers in any war. Soldiers, | :11:03. | :11:08. | |
like policemen, have very specific rules of engagement depending on | :11:09. | :11:12. | |
their theatre of war, where their operations are taking place, but for | :11:13. | :11:16. | |
a sniper to shout a warning is crazy. It feeds into this whole | :11:17. | :11:20. | |
story, the background about ambulance chasing lawyers trying to | :11:21. | :11:24. | |
sue British soldiers a sickly fighting not just to defend the | :11:25. | :11:27. | |
country but often fighting for their lives. -- basically. We have to | :11:28. | :11:36. | |
leave it at there, Deborah, Torcuil, thank you very much indeed. We will | :11:37. | :11:41. | |
be back at 11:34 another look at the stories making the front pages | :11:42. | :11:46. | |
tomorrow. -- at 11:30 for another look. At 11 o'clock, we will have | :11:47. | :11:52. | |
more on the steel industry crisis, but coming up next it is time for | :11:53. | :11:54. | |
Sportsday. | :11:55. | :12:00. |
