:00:00. > :00:08.Coming up, Suicide Squad, we look at the verdict on that, and what else
:00:09. > :00:22.is in the cinema. Hello and welcome to our look ahead
:00:23. > :00:25.to what the the papers will be With me are Martin Bentham
:00:26. > :00:28.from the Evening Standard The first day of Olympic action
:00:29. > :00:44.features on most of the front pages. The Telegraph has an image
:00:45. > :00:47.of British swimmer Adam Peaty who has broken the world record
:00:48. > :00:49.in the 100m breaststroke. Its lead story says
:00:50. > :00:51.the Prime Minister will launch a new generation
:00:52. > :00:57.of grammar schools. The Observer also has a photograph
:00:58. > :01:00.of swimmer Adam Peaty but leads on a warning from scientists that
:01:01. > :01:04.a key climate target may be missed. The Sunday Times says
:01:05. > :01:07.the Rio Olympics has been rocked The Independent claims
:01:08. > :01:16.the Russian team will be banned It has an image of a Syrian
:01:17. > :01:20.refugee competing in Rio. The Sunday Express leads
:01:21. > :01:22.on fracking, reporting that a percentage of profits will be paid
:01:23. > :01:26.to nearby households. And the Mail on Sunday has the same
:01:27. > :01:30.story, saying the Prime Minister is planning stunning cash payouts
:01:31. > :01:37.to families in areas affected We will start with three of the
:01:38. > :01:42.papers that are looking at the Olympics in various ways. The Sunday
:01:43. > :01:48.Times says, real Olympics rocked by new doping scandal. There is an
:01:49. > :01:51.official, and we went into too much detail about who it is, but he was
:01:52. > :01:59.said to have asked for a ?10,000 bribe to do what? The allegation is
:02:00. > :02:02.that it was a Kenyan official. The Sunday Times has done sting, gone
:02:03. > :02:07.out there and suggested they have a team of fictional British athletes,
:02:08. > :02:13.although obviously the relevant official didn't know that, and he
:02:14. > :02:21.has apparently offered for a 10,000 downpayment to give them warning of
:02:22. > :02:25.drugs tests, and told them that Kenya is a good place to get away
:02:26. > :02:37.with cheating. He apparently knows an official who does drug tests, and
:02:38. > :02:42.can have 12 hours notice. This official has been asked to return
:02:43. > :02:46.home to face allegations, and he was suggesting that he could manage to
:02:47. > :02:52.help people avoid the drugs testing regime, which is designed to expose
:02:53. > :02:55.cheats. He denies all of this, but there are obviously serious
:02:56. > :03:02.allegations. Is not suggesting there is any supply of the illegal
:03:03. > :03:12.substances. You could take actions to read your body of drugs if given
:03:13. > :03:15.notice, predominantly, or presumably stop sign it all sounds terribly
:03:16. > :03:22.unhealthy, the idea that you take drugs and then get rid of them
:03:23. > :03:31.before you are tested. There is a semi- rebuttal of this after similar
:03:32. > :03:38.question last week, the idea that he was investigating them. He says he
:03:39. > :03:43.was not a sell-out, he was doing this for the future. I have heard
:03:44. > :03:50.that in a few stories in my time, and I'm not sure... People who were
:03:51. > :03:57.victims of a sting were aware of it the whole time and were playing
:03:58. > :04:00.along. The Observer, looking ahead to the Paralympics, where Russia is
:04:01. > :04:05.facing a complete ban, it would seem. The IOC, as we know, have let
:04:06. > :04:09.quite a lot of Russian state part in the Olympics, but the group that run
:04:10. > :04:16.the Paralympics say they are going to actually banned Russia as a team
:04:17. > :04:20.from entry. This is quite scary, because the Paralympics take place
:04:21. > :04:23.straight up to the Olympics, which is in three weeks, and if you
:04:24. > :04:26.imagine you have been spending the past four years of your life
:04:27. > :04:34.training for the Olympics, and because Russia has had
:04:35. > :04:38.state-sponsored drug testing, tampering with drugs, giving people
:04:39. > :04:45.drugs, etc, because for some reason Russia thinks that it means a lot if
:04:46. > :04:52.you have a lot of gold when medals. Well, it does, but honestly... Look,
:04:53. > :04:55.it is a great thing when your team walks in and they have a lot of gold
:04:56. > :05:00.medals, but it doesn't mean that you think that country is better, but
:05:01. > :05:05.the Russians are still stuck in this outmoded view. It may be an issue of
:05:06. > :05:14.national pride, but this is a much clearer cut decision on the IOC
:05:15. > :05:21.managed. Yes, and one that I think many people will welcome. The IOC
:05:22. > :05:26.rather passed the buck saying that the federation is good decide
:05:27. > :05:34.whether or not to allow Russia to take part. You have suddenly got a
:05:35. > :05:38.nation which has engaged in systematic doping, covering up,
:05:39. > :05:44.trying to use their own intelligence services to help in that, and very
:05:45. > :05:48.well documented, and yet their athletes are still out there
:05:49. > :05:53.competing against people who clearly didn't want them to be competing.
:05:54. > :05:59.Whereas the paralympian is, they have said, or they appear to be
:06:00. > :06:07.going to say, no, one out all out. Let's celebrate something from the
:06:08. > :06:15.Olympics. In the form of Adam Peaty, celebrating after setting a new 100
:06:16. > :06:19.metres breaststroke record in the heat. He beat his personal best,
:06:20. > :06:23.which is fantastic. The reaction from the commentator was fantastic.
:06:24. > :06:27.It was a brilliant achievement and it is only the heat. If he does
:06:28. > :06:36.manage to win the gold medal, which obviously he is hot favourite to do,
:06:37. > :06:39.he will be the first male gold-medal swimmer since 1988. We have had
:06:40. > :06:43.great success with women, but the men have not been quite so
:06:44. > :06:53.successful recently. Good knowledge. Brazil got a medal today, the home
:06:54. > :06:59.nation, in shooting. And Belgium in the cycling, which is great. Shall
:07:00. > :07:04.we move on and look at the Mail on Sunday? Will you hit the jackpot if
:07:05. > :07:10.you are sitting above some gas that could be extracted by fracking? The
:07:11. > :07:15.express go so far as to say people are sitting on a goldmine. I don't
:07:16. > :07:22.know if you think that ?13,000 is quite a jack pot. It depends how
:07:23. > :07:28.near Christmas it is. It is not a goldmine, but I think we should be
:07:29. > :07:31.fracking. The US has cut their energy costs astronomically by
:07:32. > :07:34.fracking. I know people are worried about what it does to the
:07:35. > :07:37.environment, but I think we are learning from countries like America
:07:38. > :07:41.and we have done it successfully. I think it is great if you can provide
:07:42. > :07:46.your own energy and don't have to buy it from anyone else. It
:07:47. > :07:51.certainly ensures energy security, but there are massive environmental
:07:52. > :07:58.concerns. There are, and personally I am not very keen on the idea of
:07:59. > :08:05.bribing people to take the decision to grab some cash upfront. Isn't it
:08:06. > :08:10.just compensation for inconvenience? Wouldn't you rather it go to the
:08:11. > :08:14.council where the money will vanish? I think you have to persuade people
:08:15. > :08:19.that it is the right thing to do, rather than bribe them. I'm also a
:08:20. > :08:29.bit excessive, because when I look at it, in Scarborough, where my
:08:30. > :08:35.mother lives, she would only get ?221, not the 13,000. Let us move
:08:36. > :08:43.back to the Sunday Times. Students are offered by one get one free
:08:44. > :08:57.degrees. Supermarkets have given off a lot of these, how do you do this?
:08:58. > :09:02.In this case,... I think you should work on the Evening Standard. In
:09:03. > :09:06.this case I think there is a danger, because it is talking about things
:09:07. > :09:12.like discounts off your courses and so on, or indeed buy one get one
:09:13. > :09:14.free, which is particularly related to an offer of doing the
:09:15. > :09:21.undergraduate degree and then get free Masters tuition. Or reduction
:09:22. > :09:26.in the cost of the Masters. One of them is offering it free. Sheffield
:09:27. > :09:32.University is offering, is that right? You get a Masters course
:09:33. > :09:35.worth up to ?10,000 if you sign up for your undergraduate course first.
:09:36. > :09:39.I think it is great if you don't have to pay tuition fees, the whole
:09:40. > :09:45.thing is a disaster from that point of view. But the danger here is that
:09:46. > :09:49.universities are desperate to scramble people into their
:09:50. > :09:52.particular courses. They are worried because of Brexit. They are worried
:09:53. > :09:57.that a lot of foreigners who would normally have come to do degrees in
:09:58. > :10:01.this country will now not. If you have a three-year course and you are
:10:02. > :10:06.out of Europe, what happens to your third year? I don't think students
:10:07. > :10:14.will be disappearing after Year 2 years, but that is another issue.
:10:15. > :10:18.There is a decision to make about what university to go to, and it
:10:19. > :10:22.will be sad if people are saying, I will go to that one because it will
:10:23. > :10:27.be slightly cheaper. You want to make a choice on the basis of what
:10:28. > :10:31.is the right university. I think students are much cleverer than we
:10:32. > :10:37.used to be, much smarter about money. They are customers now. What
:10:38. > :10:41.universities are doing is like everything. If you are selling
:10:42. > :10:44.something, the more attractive you make it the better you will do. It
:10:45. > :10:52.should be attracting on the basis of the course, not perks. I don't
:10:53. > :10:58.believe kids will go into courses that won't lead to jobs. We are
:10:59. > :11:05.already changing courses that don't lead to jobs. It depends what kind
:11:06. > :11:08.of course leads to a job. It doesn't necessarily have to be completely
:11:09. > :11:16.vocational, many people do well after just having arts degrees. A
:11:17. > :11:23.view to being on before together? No we haven't, but we are going to sign
:11:24. > :11:30.up as a double act. Can I just say, less boys are applying than girls.
:11:31. > :11:42.Fewer. Those comprehensive pupils! I didn't go to a comprehensive. We are
:11:43. > :11:47.not going to talk about... This is primary schools wanting to promote
:11:48. > :11:54.social mobility by removing the block on grammar schools. Many
:11:55. > :12:01.children like the idea of parents -- their children going to -- many
:12:02. > :12:05.parents like the idea of their children going to grammar schools.
:12:06. > :12:09.Of course they asked top science think parents are much more aware of
:12:10. > :12:11.education these days, and there are free schools in all sorts of
:12:12. > :12:16.choices, but I would not be here without grammar school, and I will
:12:17. > :12:22.not be loyal to the fact that a grammar school changed my life. If
:12:23. > :12:29.you went down that road, you would have to make sure that they are
:12:30. > :12:36.better resourced, not under resourced. I agree, I agree with all
:12:37. > :12:41.of that. It is still... Either way, in lifting you out of where you will
:12:42. > :12:46.born... There are plenty of schools that do a good job of doing that.
:12:47. > :12:49.That have even more can't be a bad thing. It looks like that is what is
:12:50. > :12:54.going to happen, but whether it will be across the entire country. I
:12:55. > :12:57.think local councils will vote for whether they want them, and I guess
:12:58. > :13:01.the places in Britain that will really go for them, as they will
:13:02. > :13:06.vote for that. I'm not sure they will, actually, we'll see. I don't
:13:07. > :13:11.think we will get any agreement on this, I can tell. We have ran out of
:13:12. > :13:17.time. Martin and Eve, lovely to have you both, come back, will you? Thank
:13:18. > :13:20.you everybody for watching. Up next, Film Review. Boys are not less
:13:21. > :13:23.clever than girls.
