:00:00. > :00:00.latest on Sepp Blatter and Michel Platini. And an injury blow for

:00:00. > :00:08.British cycling for the track Championships in London. That will

:00:09. > :00:16.be coming up in Sportsday. First it is time for the Papers.

:00:17. > :00:19.Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be

:00:20. > :00:24.With me are the senior political correspondent at the Telegraph,

:00:25. > :00:26.Kate McCann, and the political correspondent at the

:00:27. > :00:34.Let's look at some of the front pages. We will start with the i

:00:35. > :00:38.which looks at what life is like for people living under the rule of

:00:39. > :00:42.so-called Islamic State in Syria. The International Monetary Fund is

:00:43. > :00:46.urging the world's top economies to work together to boost growth,

:00:47. > :00:49.according to the Financial Times. The Telegraph claims Michael Gove

:00:50. > :00:53.could be facing the sack after he challenged the legality of David

:00:54. > :00:59.Cameron's EU deal. The metro says the Internet giant Google is facing

:01:00. > :01:04.a ?1.3 billion tax bill in France, ten times the amount repaid in the

:01:05. > :01:09.UK. And investigations into how police failed victims of sexual

:01:10. > :01:14.abuse in Rotherham are the Guardian's main story. Kate,

:01:15. > :01:21.starting with the Daily Telegraph. Michael Gove facing the sack over

:01:22. > :01:26.the EU right. -- row. This is not because he has disagreed with the

:01:27. > :01:33.Prime Minister because the by Mr said that is fine, but he is the

:01:34. > :01:37.Justice Secretary. Yes, this massive row and the possible the of one of

:01:38. > :01:40.David Cameron's most senior allies in the Cabinet losing his position,

:01:41. > :01:43.so you are right. David Cameron said ministers would be able to take

:01:44. > :01:46.sides in this debate but I don't think he expected Michael Gove to

:01:47. > :01:51.use his position to make quite such a claim. Michael Gove is saying the

:01:52. > :01:54.reforms the Prime Minister has renegotiated our not actually

:01:55. > :01:58.legally binding and therefore will not mean anything at all. And he

:01:59. > :02:02.should because he is the Justice Secretary? Correct. So there is a

:02:03. > :02:06.problem for the primaries to. How does he deal with one of his closest

:02:07. > :02:09.allies and friends speaking out against him in such a way that makes

:02:10. > :02:16.it legitimate, very difficult thing to deal with. They are legitimate. A

:02:17. > :02:19.trade union in Poland could, and a half of its workers, see part of

:02:20. > :02:23.this deal is discriminative. They could go to the European Court of

:02:24. > :02:28.Justice? Michael Gove is right here? It seems to be legally it for

:02:29. > :02:32.dispute, anyway. The class in Downing Street operation today, to

:02:33. > :02:37.relieve but Michael Gove's claims. They got the Attorney General out,

:02:38. > :02:42.saying the deal was in fact what type, they got the former Attorney

:02:43. > :02:46.General to see the same thing, and the European Council president as

:02:47. > :02:51.well tonight, all gathering together on the other side to see Michael

:02:52. > :02:55.Gove is wrong. But, coming back to what Kate said, he is the Justice

:02:56. > :02:59.Secretary, and therefore his position does carry some weight,

:03:00. > :03:05.when it comes to interpreting the law. If Iain Duncan Smith came out,

:03:06. > :03:10.for the sake of argument, and said, the deal you have struck as regards

:03:11. > :03:16.the in work payments to migrant workers, I know, because I am the

:03:17. > :03:21.Work and Pensions Secretary, that is not going to work. That would be a

:03:22. > :03:25.similar kind of problem? Exactly and this is the problem camera now has

:03:26. > :03:28.to deal with. Does he do something and city people and you can't use

:03:29. > :03:31.your title when you campaign, does he ask people nicely to stop making

:03:32. > :03:37.decks from their position? He has already said ministers will not have

:03:38. > :03:41.access to EU documents in the department any more, part of the

:03:42. > :03:45.referendum. But using his title? As you say, he has a standing as the

:03:46. > :03:51.justice minister, like Iain Duncan Smith would have as the work in

:03:52. > :03:56.benefits -- he did not say, as the justice minister... But he has been

:03:57. > :03:58.informed as his work as a minister so he has seen lots of EU

:03:59. > :04:03.directives, lots of situations in which the UK has been hamstrung. The

:04:04. > :04:06.problem here, the real crux of this problem, is that neither side can

:04:07. > :04:10.actually prove this, because until it has been tested, like lots of

:04:11. > :04:14.things to do with the EU, there is no proof. Well David Cameron is

:04:15. > :04:19.saying one thing and Michael Gove is seeing the other, they could in fact

:04:20. > :04:23.both be correct. David Cameron can say this is legally binding and has

:04:24. > :04:27.been ratified by the EU and is now part of their international law

:04:28. > :04:32.documentation, but Michael Gove is correct to say another state could

:04:33. > :04:36.challenge it and they may well win, so that is the problem. While this

:04:37. > :04:39.reaction may seem overblown it is probably really important to David

:04:40. > :04:45.Cameron, that he gets a hold on this. Rowena, let's go to the

:04:46. > :04:52.Guardian. The PM is wrong on migration, Iain Duncan Smith. This

:04:53. > :04:57.is very similar, actually, to the situation we were just speaking

:04:58. > :05:00.about with Michael Gove. Iain Duncan Smith, the Work and Pensions

:05:01. > :05:07.Secretary, he ought to know about benefits for migrants and he is

:05:08. > :05:12.coming up and saying, actually, the emergency brake negotiated by

:05:13. > :05:15.Cameron may actually be counter-productive and allow more

:05:16. > :05:19.migrants to come into the UK ahead of the brake which will not comment

:05:20. > :05:23.until 2017. Another interesting aspect of this story is that it is a

:05:24. > :05:26.move by the Leave campaign to turn the campaign on the immigration

:05:27. > :05:30.which denotes a weak point for David Cameron. The remaining people really

:05:31. > :05:36.want to keep talking about the economy and the risks and the leap

:05:37. > :05:39.in the dark of exiting that you -- which they know is a weak point for

:05:40. > :05:45.David Cameron. This is the point for the Leave campaign to start talking

:05:46. > :05:51.about David Cameron's personal... He is essentially saying, Kate, the

:05:52. > :05:57.deal struck will not work? Yes and this is something David Cameron has

:05:58. > :06:01.no defence of. He has negotiated this but actually, you know, like

:06:02. > :06:04.Rowena says, it will not come in for a number of years so if you are

:06:05. > :06:07.thinking about coming to this country, you will try to do it for

:06:08. > :06:10.that brake comes in because of course as part of his renegotiation,

:06:11. > :06:14.the prime ministers set out to make those things apply to people already

:06:15. > :06:18.living in this country, and that has not happened. It was one step too

:06:19. > :06:22.far for the EU, so while in future this may deter some people from

:06:23. > :06:26.staying longer in the country and it may deter people after 2017 or 2020

:06:27. > :06:30.when it comes in, what it will not do is change anybody's mind who is

:06:31. > :06:34.here already intending to come to this country, if they were intending

:06:35. > :06:41.to come here to claim benefits. Is Michael Gove saying, go on, fire me?

:06:42. > :06:44.More than 100 Tory MPs, more than 100 of my colleagues want to leave

:06:45. > :06:47.as well and they will not let you fire me? Mr Cameron?

:06:48. > :06:52.LAUGHTER That is a very good point. Where Mr

:06:53. > :06:56.Cameron and his allies in the Cabinet want to keep Britain in the

:06:57. > :07:01.EU and they will be very angry now, especially Michael Gove, a very

:07:02. > :07:05.close ally of Cameron, as he is openly defying him on this. When it

:07:06. > :07:09.actually comes to after the referendum, if David Cameron does

:07:10. > :07:14.win and Britain fought to stay in the EU, she will have to make a lot

:07:15. > :07:19.of concessions to the people in his party who wanted to leave, and it is

:07:20. > :07:26.very difficult to see that he could put Michael of out into the cold

:07:27. > :07:29.altogether, you know, in a similar position as Boris Johnson, you will

:07:30. > :07:34.have to find him a big job -- Michael Gove out into the cold. OK,

:07:35. > :07:41.let's stick with the Guardian, Kate. Six convicted of abuse of girls in

:07:42. > :07:45.South Yorkshire. An incredibly. And a lot of focus now on the

:07:46. > :07:50.authorities, particularly the police, who knew, as far back as ten

:07:51. > :07:56.years ago, that all this was going on. 16 years ago? South Yorkshire

:07:57. > :08:00.Police are under incredible pressure and is a part of this story that

:08:01. > :08:05.says more than 50 officers are being investigated. 26 so far have already

:08:06. > :08:10.been given misconduct notices. That is, you know, huge honour of people,

:08:11. > :08:13.working in one force in one area of the country. I suppose you have to

:08:14. > :08:18.start asking questions about whether this is happening in other areas of

:08:19. > :08:24.the country or an incredibly unfortunate one off. 1400 children

:08:25. > :08:27.in Rotherham town alone could have been affected by this. That is a

:08:28. > :08:32.huge amount of children who are living with the aftermath of

:08:33. > :08:35.something that is so awful, to think the police could have known it was

:08:36. > :08:39.going on and did nothing to stop it, it is quite frightening. I spoke to

:08:40. > :08:44.the police and crime commission for this area this evening, Rowena, and

:08:45. > :08:47.he said as far as he is concerned the public can have confidence in

:08:48. > :08:52.his police force in dealing with this kind of story in the future.

:08:53. > :09:00.There will be people out there are still sceptical? I think that is

:09:01. > :09:04.true, given we have learned today the independent complaints

:09:05. > :09:07.commission is investigating 55 separate different incidents in

:09:08. > :09:11.South Yorkshire Police. So there have got to be some people still in

:09:12. > :09:16.that force who are feeling very uncomfortable about their role in

:09:17. > :09:20.what happened, and this is just a story that gets worse and worse. It

:09:21. > :09:24.touches so many different authorities, not just the police,

:09:25. > :09:31.but also local government, local politicians as well. For the people

:09:32. > :09:35.living in Rotherham it must be, it must give a real blow to the

:09:36. > :09:41.confidence in their authorities. Yes, indeed. Read, OK. Kate, the

:09:42. > :09:46.Metro. The French demand ?1.3 million in tax from Google while we

:09:47. > :09:54.go on what, ?100 million or something? -- one 3p. Why is that?

:09:55. > :09:58.They have not got it yet, remember -- ?1.3 billion. They are asking for

:09:59. > :10:02.ten times what the UK managed to get out of Google for back taxes over

:10:03. > :10:05.ten years, remember. Not just one year. It is a huge amount more

:10:06. > :10:09.money, but whether the French authorities will actually succeed in

:10:10. > :10:12.their ambition is yet to be seen, but I think what is particularly

:10:13. > :10:15.interesting about this is this demand has come on the same day as a

:10:16. > :10:24.report from the Public Accounts Committee which is a really in the

:10:25. > :10:27.little group of MPs in Parliament and the saying, look, some of the

:10:28. > :10:29.money Google paid to the UK is disproportionately small and they

:10:30. > :10:32.have really big questions about why HMRC did not levy a penalty notice

:10:33. > :10:37.on Google for not paying enough tax over ten years. If any of us were to

:10:38. > :10:42.forget to send in her tax return or be late, we would get a fine of

:10:43. > :10:45.?100, possibly more than that, so businesses should get a much bigger

:10:46. > :10:50.fine, and Google has got away with none at all, paying ?130 million

:10:51. > :10:54.over ten years, which lots of people including MPs think is nowhere near

:10:55. > :10:59.enough... The Chancellor would say and has said, that is ?130 million

:11:00. > :11:03.more than was taken by the previously the Government after

:11:04. > :11:06.1997. He certainly did say that but I think he must be regretting those

:11:07. > :11:11.first initial comments he gave straight after. I think he described

:11:12. > :11:16.it as a victory at one point, even. You know, his face, here on this

:11:17. > :11:21.story on the front page of the Metro, he must be feeling very

:11:22. > :11:26.unhappy that he has somehow managed to get yorked to this deal that HMRC

:11:27. > :11:34.struck and on it as his own political triumph, it doesn't look

:11:35. > :11:39.very good for him. -- own it as his own. You will both be back in an

:11:40. > :11:42.hour's time. Stay with us here on BBC News. Much more coming up. For

:11:43. > :11:43.now it is
