Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be | :00:22. | :00:24. | |
With me are Mihir Bose, who's a columnist at | :00:25. | :00:30. | |
the London Evening Standard and the Senior Political | :00:31. | :00:32. | |
Correspondent for the Telegraph, Kate McCann. | :00:33. | :00:34. | |
Most of the papers have colourful images of the Olympics | :00:35. | :00:38. | |
But The Times says thousands of people are losing teeth needlessly | :00:39. | :00:45. | |
because it is more lucrative for NHS dentists to take them out | :00:46. | :00:48. | |
The Guardian has a picture of the British cyclist | :00:49. | :00:52. | |
Its main story is about asthma, it says a new pill that | :00:53. | :00:59. | |
could revolutionise treatment of the condition has been hailed | :01:00. | :01:01. | |
The Telegraph says the BBC is to spy on internet users in their homes | :01:02. | :01:05. | |
by deploying a new generation of Wi-Fi detection vans | :01:06. | :01:08. | |
to identify those illicitly watching its programmes online. | :01:09. | :01:26. | |
The Financial Times concentrates on the latest losses at RBS. | :01:27. | :01:30. | |
The Mail reports on the legal aid given | :01:31. | :01:31. | |
to the father of the murdered six-year-old, Ellie Butler. | :01:32. | :01:36. | |
And the Mirror says the SAS is guarding | :01:37. | :01:38. | |
We will start with the Olympic Games. The Daily Telegraph treats us | :01:39. | :01:49. | |
to a beautiful picture of fireworks at the stadium in Rio and this was | :01:50. | :01:55. | |
not from tonight, they do not have a crystal ball, but this is from the | :01:56. | :02:00. | |
dress rehearsal. It gave us an idea of what might be coming. Are you | :02:01. | :02:07. | |
excited about the Olympics? I'm excited, the Olympics is a great | :02:08. | :02:12. | |
event but this is beleaguered and it worries me, apart from the drug | :02:13. | :02:18. | |
scandals in Russia, the locals are very hostile, and normally when the | :02:19. | :02:23. | |
Olympics begin everyone is very happy. Before they begin, there are | :02:24. | :02:31. | |
doubts, even in London, but this time there is hostility and anger in | :02:32. | :02:35. | |
Brazil and I suspect there could be trouble during the Olympics. You saw | :02:36. | :02:44. | |
that at the World Cup? Yes, I got a Fifa accreditation and I was booed, | :02:45. | :02:50. | |
the anger there, Brazil has gone from being the template for world | :02:51. | :02:53. | |
progress to being a basket case and the people are saying, why are we | :02:54. | :02:59. | |
spending this money, having a party, when we need money for services and | :03:00. | :03:05. | |
education? There was real anger. The athletes participate, but the | :03:06. | :03:11. | |
officials go around and they stay in the best hotels and that will | :03:12. | :03:16. | |
generate anger and there might be some violence. All against the | :03:17. | :03:21. | |
backdrop of political scandal which has beset the Brazilian government. | :03:22. | :03:27. | |
How much interest are you taking? In the sport. I have to admit it is not | :03:28. | :03:34. | |
something I does Billy watch, but I like watching it if it is on. -- not | :03:35. | :03:42. | |
something I desperately watch. The Olympic says been marred by | :03:43. | :03:45. | |
controversy and we are yet to get out of the starting blocks. Tom | :03:46. | :03:49. | |
Daley says it has a more informal feel, and I think he's being polite. | :03:50. | :03:54. | |
In reference to the accommodation for the athletes. They have had to | :03:55. | :03:59. | |
put up their own shower curtains and make their own beds, because that is | :04:00. | :04:05. | |
not ready. It has not been prepared, not to the standards people would | :04:06. | :04:10. | |
have expected. After the opening ceremony, hopefully things will go | :04:11. | :04:13. | |
more smoothly and I would like to see it go well and Team GB do well. | :04:14. | :04:18. | |
The interesting thing will be how the Brazilian crowd react to their | :04:19. | :04:24. | |
interim president. And how they react to the Russian team, that | :04:25. | :04:28. | |
would be very interesting. Another story on the front page about the | :04:29. | :04:33. | |
Olympics. Health fears have rolled her lay out from the opening | :04:34. | :04:43. | |
ceremony -- have ruled out Pele from the opening ceremony. He says health | :04:44. | :04:48. | |
reasons but he has commercial sponsors and I'm not sure whether | :04:49. | :04:52. | |
they have not intervened. If you remember the 1996 Olympic Games, | :04:53. | :05:00. | |
Mohammed Shami almost hobbled out and lit the flame, and that was a | :05:01. | :05:08. | |
very historical moment -- Ali. I'm not sure it would matter if Pele | :05:09. | :05:17. | |
limped up and lit the flag. Maybe they could choose one of the | :05:18. | :05:22. | |
supermodels. Yes, one of the Olympic torches going through was stolen and | :05:23. | :05:30. | |
blown out and hopefully that won't happen. They will try and pick a big | :05:31. | :05:36. | |
sporting figure who can unify the nation and remind it of its glory | :05:37. | :05:42. | |
days. The Daily Mirror says the SAS are guarding the British athletes, | :05:43. | :05:52. | |
quite a commitment. I'm sure they won't have been that hesitant to go | :05:53. | :05:56. | |
out there, but I don't think that is a huge surprise. This is a huge | :05:57. | :06:04. | |
event, very high profile, and we have seen political trouble in the | :06:05. | :06:07. | |
country and controversy and there are concerns around security. I'm | :06:08. | :06:12. | |
not surprised that is the case and I think that is a good thing. They | :06:13. | :06:18. | |
might be liaising with the Brazilian police, they cannot operate on their | :06:19. | :06:26. | |
own. And now to The Guardian. Laura Trott, taking part in a practice | :06:27. | :06:31. | |
session, the cyclists are bound to have hopes riding on them. She could | :06:32. | :06:38. | |
be one of the first to win a medal for Britain early on. You remember | :06:39. | :06:45. | |
Sydney where Britain went and did not do well initially, but then the | :06:46. | :06:50. | |
cyclists won on the first day. She is one of the best medal hopes, | :06:51. | :06:59. | |
Laura Trott. Away from the Olympics. The newspaper. This is repairing to | :07:00. | :07:08. | |
Dame Lall Goddard who has resigned and gone home -- Lau Goddard -- this | :07:09. | :07:24. | |
is referring to Lowell Goddard. One of the interesting thing is that | :07:25. | :07:27. | |
Justice Goddard has said, it would have made more sense to start the | :07:28. | :07:34. | |
whole press -- process again because it has been marred by failure and | :07:35. | :07:38. | |
people have been let down so much that there needs to be something | :07:39. | :07:43. | |
done to kick-start it over again. She said it was not an easy task and | :07:44. | :07:49. | |
there has been controversy about whether she left because of her | :07:50. | :07:52. | |
family committee wanted to spend more time with them. They are on the | :07:53. | :07:58. | |
other side of the world, but to say it has been a failure, isn't that | :07:59. | :08:03. | |
wrong? Progress has been made. Despite the revolving door. That has | :08:04. | :08:10. | |
been a story in itself, 100 cases have gone to the police, I've been | :08:11. | :08:14. | |
told, but isn't this a high-profile immigrant working and us paying a | :08:15. | :08:29. | |
lot for that. Shouldn't we be watching the points system a lot | :08:30. | :08:34. | |
better? Keith Flowers feels the anyway forward, and for the inquiry | :08:35. | :08:40. | |
is for her to come and explain what progress has been made and exactly | :08:41. | :08:44. | |
what needs to happen next and he says she's the new person who can | :08:45. | :08:47. | |
give them that insight and that needs to happen -- Keith Vaz. Her | :08:48. | :08:55. | |
sudden resignation suggests something has happened in the | :08:56. | :08:59. | |
background. There are claims that she and the team were at odds about | :09:00. | :09:04. | |
the way the inquiry worked and it feels as though there is more to | :09:05. | :09:08. | |
come out. Let's hope the fourth chairperson is the last one. It will | :09:09. | :09:17. | |
take years. They will probably come from France or Germany. The idea is | :09:18. | :09:24. | |
to not appoint someone who is part of the British establishment. And | :09:25. | :09:31. | |
now to another story. This is a new line. This is about RBS. They were | :09:32. | :09:41. | |
trying to set up a new retail bank and that is not going to happen. We | :09:42. | :09:46. | |
expected this to happen, this has been a long time coming, controversy | :09:47. | :09:52. | |
around this kind of new bank but it comes off the bank of Lloyds closing | :09:53. | :09:59. | |
a number of branches. And it is a trend which is worrying. High street | :10:00. | :10:05. | |
banks disappearing and fewer branches on the high street and now | :10:06. | :10:11. | |
this. More controversial, RBS is not in great form, anyway, but there is | :10:12. | :10:18. | |
a trend of banking going more online, is this something people | :10:19. | :10:22. | |
want to see? It cuts a lot of cost. In the old days you had a | :10:23. | :10:29. | |
relationship with your bank manager and you met him, but now you just | :10:30. | :10:38. | |
have a voice on the phone. We are moving into that area where there | :10:39. | :10:42. | |
will not be any hype Street branches at all. -- high street. It makes it | :10:43. | :10:50. | |
more difficult for small businesses. We spoke to small businesses last | :10:51. | :10:54. | |
week, if you are a small business using cash you need to be able to | :10:55. | :11:01. | |
take it in every day. And the people not able to go online or call their | :11:02. | :11:09. | |
bank bank get the answers they want, -- and get the answers they want. | :11:10. | :11:13. | |
Canada are pushing more face-to-face interaction because they feel | :11:14. | :11:19. | |
customers value it and they feel customers are willing to pay more | :11:20. | :11:22. | |
money to have an interaction, but maybe in this country this is | :11:23. | :11:28. | |
something customers might like but they are not being offered. And out | :11:29. | :11:36. | |
to the Financial Times. This is about final salary pensions. If you | :11:37. | :11:46. | |
are lucky to have one these days. I won't get into my pension | :11:47. | :11:49. | |
arrangements, if that's all right. LAUGHTER | :11:50. | :11:57. | |
The idea is these pensions are so expensive when you come to | :11:58. | :11:59. | |
retirement that companies are offering people the chance to get | :12:00. | :12:04. | |
out but take a huge sum of money. Sounds a good deal. It could be a | :12:05. | :12:10. | |
trap. Companies fear that by the time they come to pay the pension | :12:11. | :12:15. | |
they will have to pay more and they are providing a great inducement but | :12:16. | :12:22. | |
it is clear from the story that what the people take, if they had stayed | :12:23. | :12:29. | |
in the pension plan, 10-15 years, they would get a much better pension | :12:30. | :12:35. | |
than the money they get now. A calculation people have got to make. | :12:36. | :12:39. | |
There's got to be something in it for the companies. A fairly easy | :12:40. | :12:44. | |
calculation to make them if you are presented with a large chunk of | :12:45. | :12:47. | |
money, how are you going to make it grow? Especially with people living | :12:48. | :12:54. | |
longer. You will not get anything by putting it in the bank. Property | :12:55. | :12:58. | |
might be a good place to put it, but it is difficult to put it into a | :12:59. | :13:08. | |
property. I don't have a final salary pension and I don't think we | :13:09. | :13:11. | |
will see that again in anyway shape or form. You're right, many of them | :13:12. | :13:21. | |
have closed. And now The Daily Mail. Taxpayers funded a warp to battle | :13:22. | :13:29. | |
for this father for custody of little girl he went on to mother, | :13:30. | :13:38. | |
according to the paper. -- a warped. You can understand why The Daily | :13:39. | :13:42. | |
Mail is in uproar but when people claim legal aid you don't know | :13:43. | :13:49. | |
whether they are guilty or not, this was about the custody battle. Very | :13:50. | :13:55. | |
complex. We were talking about this, it says the legal bill was totted up | :13:56. | :14:03. | |
over 15 years, but she was only six when she died. That does not make | :14:04. | :14:09. | |
sense. You are right, you can apply for legal aid to fight a legal case | :14:10. | :14:12. | |
in there has to be an element of going on to win because that is the | :14:13. | :14:17. | |
balance of judgment, but you can't only give people who are not guilty | :14:18. | :14:21. | |
legal aid and that means some time to time we will have cases like | :14:22. | :14:24. | |
this, although this is quite unusual. He had fought cases | :14:25. | :14:32. | |
previously. The one we know about now. Custody battles. ?1 million was | :14:33. | :14:40. | |
a custody bill. Grandparents are making the point, because they feel | :14:41. | :14:46. | |
they have been... They feel this is dreadful, they did not get legal | :14:47. | :14:49. | |
aid. He did because he was on benefit. They wouldn't like legal | :14:50. | :14:55. | |
aid and they feel the system is weighed in favour of those who can | :14:56. | :15:01. | |
claim benefits and legal aid, but they couldn't and that is part of | :15:02. | :15:09. | |
the story. The legal aid system has changed since he would have claimed | :15:10. | :15:13. | |
legal aid, anyway. It makes a good headline. Yes, and you think this is | :15:14. | :15:21. | |
about access to justice in many ways. Back to the Daily Telegraph. | :15:22. | :15:28. | |
BBC plans to snoop on internet users. If you are watching iPlayer | :15:29. | :15:42. | |
to watch BBC content you still have to pay a licence fee. And yet they | :15:43. | :15:51. | |
have got to do this. There is a growing problem, people are on their | :15:52. | :15:55. | |
laptops and iPads watching BBC without paying license fees so how | :15:56. | :16:05. | |
can the BBC collect money on that? Technology is defeating the BBC, and | :16:06. | :16:08. | |
so they have got to improve their technology skills. They are not | :16:09. | :16:12. | |
giving it away, how they are going to do this. At the moment you can | :16:13. | :16:16. | |
watch iPlayer content which is not live and not pay the license free | :16:17. | :16:23. | |
but that will change from September. -- licence fee. Many people just | :16:24. | :16:29. | |
watch on catch up, but don't pay, but they will have to do, and that | :16:30. | :16:34. | |
has prompted this story. At university we believed it was a mess | :16:35. | :16:42. | |
that violence would drive round -- a myth. I had a knock on the door when | :16:43. | :16:51. | |
I was at university, and a very polite man said one evening, I | :16:52. | :16:57. | |
believe you have a television, we had a black and white one. We were | :16:58. | :17:03. | |
too cheap to have a colour one. We had brought a TV licence, he did not | :17:04. | :17:10. | |
believe me. He said, can you find it? We went upstairs and found it | :17:11. | :17:19. | |
and he was so surprised. If he had a detector van it wasn't working. | :17:20. | :17:24. | |
These detector vans will be working, presumably. Of course. We have a | :17:25. | :17:30. | |
statement from TV licensing, this is what they have said all and they | :17:31. | :17:41. | |
have said the use of detection is regularly inspected by independent | :17:42. | :17:44. | |
examiners, which is what the BBC is allowed to do. Finally, The Times, | :17:45. | :17:50. | |
the great dental rip-off, thousands of teeth needlessly extracted | :17:51. | :17:54. | |
because this is more profitable for dentists. My mum will love this | :17:55. | :18:00. | |
story, she will feel then dictated. When we went to the dentists when we | :18:01. | :18:04. | |
were younger, the dentist said maybe you need a filling and my mum was | :18:05. | :18:09. | |
adamant that was not the case and that we have lovely teeth. This | :18:10. | :18:14. | |
article is saying that dentists get paid more, ?25 forcing anybody for a | :18:15. | :18:24. | |
checkup and ?75 for extraction is an fillings, and they are more inclined | :18:25. | :18:29. | |
to extract a tooth because they will get paid more. There's the | :18:30. | :18:35. | |
incentive. Quite shocking, one dentist says ten dentists were paid | :18:36. | :18:42. | |
the equivalent of ?450,000 a year which is a huge amount of money. A | :18:43. | :18:46. | |
lot of teeth. Root canal treatment will take longer they rather remove | :18:47. | :18:55. | |
the truth -- and they would rather remove the teeth. Surely this is | :18:56. | :19:02. | |
only a handful of dentists. They look at the costs and they work out | :19:03. | :19:06. | |
what is profitable for them, surely. I will stop there before we have | :19:07. | :19:14. | |
besmirched the good name of the dentists of this country, and I | :19:15. | :19:17. | |
would like to show you the night sky of Rio. That is where the opening | :19:18. | :19:25. | |
ceremony will take place. Live coverage on BBC One. Coverage on | :19:26. | :19:32. | |
radio and online, and I imagine that will be full of fireworks. It looks | :19:33. | :19:41. | |
pretty attractive already. That is it for the papers tonight. The front | :19:42. | :19:45. | |
pages have come in. Don't forget all the front pages | :19:46. | :19:58. | |
are online on the BBC News website where you can read a detailed review | :19:59. | :20:01. | |
of the papers. It's all there for you - | :20:02. | :20:03. | |
7 days a week at bbc.co.uk/papers - and you can see us there too - | :20:04. | :20:06. | |
with each night's edition of The Papers being posted | :20:07. | :20:09. | |
on the page shortly And now we have the weather | :20:10. | :20:16. | |
forecast. | :20:17. | :20:19. |
