to our look ahead to what the the papers | :00:14. | :00:16. | |
With me are the Evening Standard columnist Mihir Bose | :00:17. | :00:21. | |
and Assistant Editor of The Times Anne Ashworth. | :00:22. | :00:37. | |
Mihir seems to have brought with him someone else's opinions(!) | :00:38. | :00:40. | |
Tomorrow's front pages starting with... | :00:41. | :00:41. | |
The Times leads on a payout made to eight Republicans | :00:42. | :00:43. | |
who had their convictions for being part of an IRA | :00:44. | :00:46. | |
The Sun leads on the case of Tareena Shakil, | :00:47. | :00:49. | |
the first British woman found guilty of being a member of IS. | :00:50. | :00:52. | |
The i leads on a theory that Alzheimer's may | :00:53. | :00:54. | |
have been transmitted between patients during particular | :00:55. | :00:55. | |
In the Telegraph, the Head of the Army warns that | :00:56. | :00:59. | |
"fabricated" legal claims made against the military | :01:00. | :01:01. | |
may cause soldiers to make mistakes during combat. | :01:02. | :01:03. | |
made by a senior immigration judge that many migrants in Calais | :01:04. | :01:07. | |
Hospitals are being told by regulators to get | :01:08. | :01:09. | |
rid of staff to rescue the NHS from financial crisis, | :01:10. | :01:12. | |
on comments by a World Health Organisation expert that the Zika | :01:13. | :01:17. | |
virus could travel across the Atlantic to Africa, | :01:18. | :01:19. | |
We will begin with the Zika virus story, an epidemic which may cross | :01:20. | :01:32. | |
the Atlantic, devastating poorer nations with vaccines still | :01:33. | :01:37. | |
potentially years away, this story has really taken off this week. It | :01:38. | :01:42. | |
is the black swan... When they talk about these things that suddenly | :01:43. | :01:46. | |
come out of nowhere, these crises, that nobody had been expecting and | :01:47. | :01:50. | |
nobody had been planning for, looks like this virus is turning to that, | :01:51. | :01:57. | |
because of the way in which we have seen... It has not been proven, | :01:58. | :02:01. | |
there are babies born with microcephaly in Latin America, but | :02:02. | :02:06. | |
it is linked to the Zika virus, and this story is telling us it could | :02:07. | :02:10. | |
cross the Atlantic, because the climate in parts of southern Europe | :02:11. | :02:15. | |
are actually good climate for the kind of mosquitoes which carried | :02:16. | :02:20. | |
this virus. Not all Mosque eaters, dirt and species in particular. It | :02:21. | :02:25. | |
is when it starts to threaten places like Europe and North America that | :02:26. | :02:32. | |
clinicians really begin to pay attention. One of those classic | :02:33. | :02:37. | |
things, like the Ebola virus, a short time ago, nobody had been | :02:38. | :02:40. | |
paying much attention, and suddenly it was in the headlines, top item in | :02:41. | :02:45. | |
the news, similar to the Zika virus, I hope I pronounce this correctly, | :02:46. | :02:51. | |
the survival of this particular mosquito, which sounds like an old | :02:52. | :02:59. | |
Egyptian goddess, but so far we thought that with mosquitoes and | :03:00. | :03:04. | |
malaria, we knew what was happening, and suddenly, for this to emerge out | :03:05. | :03:10. | |
of nowhere, it does make you feel a bit frightened. All of this talk of | :03:11. | :03:14. | |
all of us being aware of what diseases to combat and how to combat | :03:15. | :03:21. | |
it, you feel helpless. Clinicians are far away from getting a vaccine, | :03:22. | :03:26. | |
and also, this idea that you may go to a country and then decided to | :03:27. | :03:30. | |
come home and start a family and it might be a very unwise thing to do. | :03:31. | :03:36. | |
Not everybody even has symptoms when they are carrying it. In adult it is | :03:37. | :03:41. | |
minor. The symptoms of the Ebola virus can be a cough and a cold, it | :03:42. | :03:48. | |
is a bit like that. In this story, advising people that come back, | :03:49. | :03:51. | |
particularly Brazil, they should use condom is if their partner is likely | :03:52. | :03:56. | |
to become pregnant or are pregnant. You have to be bitten by the | :03:57. | :04:01. | |
mosquito carrying the virus rather than the Ebola virus which is | :04:02. | :04:06. | |
patient to patient. Google tax whistle-blower speaks out, H MRC is | :04:07. | :04:10. | |
not interested in stopping corporate tax avoidance. This is in the week | :04:11. | :04:16. | |
in which we are having to make sure our self-assessment tax returns are | :04:17. | :04:24. | |
in, and small tax bills to pay. This picture makes him look like a | :04:25. | :04:28. | |
character from war and peace! Slightly differently dressed, but, | :04:29. | :04:31. | |
there are two questions here, first of all, we have bad laws, Beasley, | :04:32. | :04:36. | |
allowing corporations to do this sort of they need to be looked at, | :04:37. | :04:40. | |
no point in saying that Google should be morally in the right, | :04:41. | :04:44. | |
corporations are not in the moral business, they will try to pay less | :04:45. | :04:48. | |
tax. The second thing, the Chancellor set out to claim, he made | :04:49. | :04:52. | |
a great success of it, getting Google to pay all this money, we do | :04:53. | :04:57. | |
not have the details of the settlement. To be convinced that | :04:58. | :05:02. | |
Google did the right thing, we need some details of why they are paying | :05:03. | :05:07. | |
this sort of money and not the much greater charge which the French are | :05:08. | :05:16. | |
levying on him -- levying on them. This is the week and won 1 million | :05:17. | :05:20. | |
people who are yet to file tax returns will have two get forms in | :05:21. | :05:24. | |
face penalties, I think people are angry. This a year in which Inland | :05:25. | :05:28. | |
Revenue will be able to clamp down because it has more information all | :05:29. | :05:33. | |
of us, drawn from all kinds of sources, to make sure our forms are | :05:34. | :05:37. | |
right. It seems to me that the scrutiny that is being applied to | :05:38. | :05:40. | |
individuals is not being applied to corporate. We hear from every | :05:41. | :05:48. | |
budget, that the goal of Revenue and Customs is to clamp down on tax | :05:49. | :05:53. | |
avoidance, this whistle-blower says that he is not persuaded of that. | :05:54. | :05:57. | |
That is probably out there in the country what a lot of people think. | :05:58. | :06:01. | |
It seems as if Google has made a donation rather than paying tax. We | :06:02. | :06:06. | |
could all decide to make a donation(!) ?150? That is not how it | :06:07. | :06:17. | |
works. Google is doing what it is entitled to do by law, we should | :06:18. | :06:21. | |
look at the law, we should change the law, to make sure the | :06:22. | :06:25. | |
corporations pay the proper tax. Until the law is changed, people | :06:26. | :06:29. | |
will be fed up. It is the fourth of the lawmakers. Now you are agreeing | :06:30. | :06:34. | |
more than I thought you would! Stop that! Student loan jihadis to to fly | :06:35. | :06:45. | |
to terror with tot. The 26-year-old from Birmingham who has been in | :06:46. | :06:48. | |
court this week, she has been sentenced, she is being sentenced on | :06:49. | :06:54. | |
Monday, a president, really, being set. What it says, particularly that | :06:55. | :07:00. | |
she took a student loan to go there. This raises the whole question, what | :07:01. | :07:07. | |
is happening the second or third generation children of immigrants, | :07:08. | :07:11. | |
why are they in effect being attracted by this is the body, why | :07:12. | :07:17. | |
would they think, why do she think that she could use a student loan to | :07:18. | :07:21. | |
get there? She must be very alienated from the country, that is | :07:22. | :07:26. | |
worrying thought. Why she registered at any UK academic institution? It | :07:27. | :07:31. | |
seems to me to be an clear, she seems to be able to not use the | :07:32. | :07:38. | |
money for fees merely to depart for Syria. This is interesting, about | :07:39. | :07:44. | |
what is a member of IS, she was not necessarily a sworn member, but she | :07:45. | :07:50. | |
went to join them. She seems to be a poor woman who felt lost and | :07:51. | :07:55. | |
disengaged from society and saw IS as a route to some kind of | :07:56. | :08:02. | |
fulfilment. It is interesting that a member of our society should feel | :08:03. | :08:06. | |
like that, so disenchanted, that they should think of going to an | :08:07. | :08:08. | |
organisation which will devastate them. Four months later, she | :08:09. | :08:15. | |
realised, she came back. Outrage at pay-out for IRA gang, tell us about | :08:16. | :08:27. | |
the pay-outs. Interesting story, the convictions were overturned because | :08:28. | :08:32. | |
at the time of the trial, various facts were not disclosed. That is | :08:33. | :08:40. | |
the role in this whole affair of an informant, an informant among the | :08:41. | :08:45. | |
IRA ranks. At the Court of Appeal, convictions were overturned because | :08:46. | :08:48. | |
it was not made clear that this man had a role in his double life, as it | :08:49. | :08:55. | |
were, and now, they are going to be getting some compensation. ?200,000 | :08:56. | :09:03. | |
apiece, some will be able to get a second amount of compensation for | :09:04. | :09:07. | |
another trial, another series of convictions, and I think that this | :09:08. | :09:10. | |
will be yet another issue where people think, why is this happening? | :09:11. | :09:13. | |
The laws have been tightened since but a lot of people will say, how | :09:14. | :09:18. | |
did this come to this, particularly when people who were injured in IRA | :09:19. | :09:24. | |
attacks are yet to have any regrets? The point is, these trials took | :09:25. | :09:29. | |
place, in one case, 25 years ago, it is a long time ago. The law has been | :09:30. | :09:38. | |
tightened. But the law was defective, the law that has been | :09:39. | :09:41. | |
tightened means that if the crime has been committed it cannot be | :09:42. | :09:45. | |
reversed. The decision being reversed not on the fact that the | :09:46. | :09:49. | |
crime was committed, it was, but that not all of the information was | :09:50. | :09:53. | |
given to the defendants. It is how the troubles will haunt us for | :09:54. | :09:56. | |
decades, we think that they have moved into the past but they will be | :09:57. | :10:07. | |
there with us. Troops at risk from parasitic law firms... Head of army | :10:08. | :10:09. | |
and Defence Secretary joining forces to condemn claims against the | :10:10. | :10:14. | |
military, the suggestion here, that fabricated legal claims made against | :10:15. | :10:17. | |
the military could undermine Britain's ability to fight future | :10:18. | :10:22. | |
was, how did that make that leap? If you are going to bring these claims | :10:23. | :10:26. | |
against soldiers, the Ministry of Defence is going to spend a lot of | :10:27. | :10:31. | |
money trying to defend cases which are completely spurious, they are | :10:32. | :10:35. | |
saying, it will affect morale as well, soldiers fighting for Britain, | :10:36. | :10:38. | |
in what they believe to be a just war and a good moral cause. And the | :10:39. | :10:43. | |
possibility that some of the soldiers may bring action against | :10:44. | :10:47. | |
other military personnel for being sent into battle not properly | :10:48. | :10:54. | |
prepared. The war machine becomes not something done on the | :10:55. | :10:58. | |
battlefield, but done in the courts of law. There will be accusations of | :10:59. | :11:05. | |
a witchhunt against soldiers, but is it a witchhunt if it is an | :11:06. | :11:11. | |
examination of facts? Very murky waters, about what happens on the | :11:12. | :11:17. | |
field of battle. I think we need to recognise that if you are in the fog | :11:18. | :11:24. | |
of war, things are going to happen which may not necessarily be the | :11:25. | :11:28. | |
things that should have happened. And what we seem to have got into | :11:29. | :11:34. | |
this, lawyers are everywhere, whatever situation you have got, | :11:35. | :11:40. | |
lawyers are making loads of fees. Tax claims for Google, for pursuing | :11:41. | :11:48. | |
troops... I would like to know, as a taxpayer, where we are. At the | :11:49. | :11:53. | |
beginning of the Iraq war, we were talking about a morally certain war, | :11:54. | :11:59. | |
so far we have not even had the Chilcott enquiry properly. I feel | :12:00. | :12:02. | |
that I should mount a defence of lawyers... (!) hairdressers are the | :12:03. | :12:11. | |
most popular people, so I have read. If you have a legal issue, you need | :12:12. | :12:17. | |
professional advice, it is very expensive to get unprofessional | :12:18. | :12:23. | |
advise! But all lawyers are ambling chases! I don't believe that they | :12:24. | :12:30. | |
are(!) LAUGHTER This is the Maoist cult leader, | :12:31. | :12:35. | |
Aravindan Balakrishnan, and his daughter, Katie Morgan Davies, who | :12:36. | :12:39. | |
spent 30 years of her life held captive by her own father, she has | :12:40. | :12:46. | |
waived anonymity. May we all be as magnanimous as she has been, she | :12:47. | :12:50. | |
repeated the words here of Nelson Mandela, " I have my father". Nelson | :12:51. | :12:54. | |
Mandela said that if you leave written with hatred and anger and | :12:55. | :13:00. | |
bitterness, you are still in prison. She was imprisoned for three decades | :13:01. | :13:04. | |
by her own father. Extraordinary, that she has come out in public and | :13:05. | :13:08. | |
she has said that she is now going to be moving on from this. You have | :13:09. | :13:15. | |
got to admire her. This is a person who was diagnosed as being a | :13:16. | :13:17. | |
narcissist with a personality disorder, and he tells his daughter | :13:18. | :13:23. | |
that out there are other fascists... That she would combust if she left | :13:24. | :13:27. | |
the home, this is the power he exerted on this family, on his whole | :13:28. | :13:33. | |
cult. And still he has supporters! Still people say that he was right, | :13:34. | :13:36. | |
and he has been victimised, and things like that. As you say, the | :13:37. | :13:41. | |
daughter has really elevated herself to a totally different level in what | :13:42. | :13:47. | |
she is saying. I was on the bus with him quite often going to court in | :13:48. | :13:51. | |
the morning, he looked so mild and make, mild-mannered man. You could | :13:52. | :13:55. | |
barely work out that this man could have been guilty of such crimes. The | :13:56. | :14:03. | |
most evil person doing ordinary things, the banality of evil. What | :14:04. | :14:07. | |
we will be back at 11:30pm, that is all for the moment. Stay with us, | :14:08. | :14:09. | |
coming up next, sports day. Hello and welcome to Sportsday | :14:10. | :14:23. | |
with me, Ore Oduba. | :14:24. | :14:27. |
