:00:00. > :00:00.More than 1 million people turned out in Istanbul to protest against

:00:00. > :00:16.last month's attempted coup in Turkey.

:00:17. > :00:24.Hello and welcome to look ahead to the papers, with us or our James

:00:25. > :00:31.Milner and Eva Simpson hoping for some silly is that we can't find

:00:32. > :00:34.any. Let's look at the front pages starting with the metal, reporting

:00:35. > :00:39.opposition MPs have vowed to fight Theresa May's plans for new grammar

:00:40. > :00:43.schools. The Daily Telegraph said union leaders at Southern rail have

:00:44. > :00:46.been accused of deliberately damaging Britain's economy by

:00:47. > :00:51.ordering the longest rail strike for almost 50 years. The Daily Express

:00:52. > :00:55.collided on the news talks with big business of quitting the EU have

:00:56. > :01:00.begun six weeks after the Brexit vote. The Guardian focuses on

:01:01. > :01:03.International Paralympic committee's decision to ban Russia from

:01:04. > :01:07.competing at the Paralympic games in Rio. The Times says Russian and

:01:08. > :01:13.Syrian aircraft bombing opposition areas of liberal in revenge after a

:01:14. > :01:16.Rebel Alliance for a vote of month-long siege. -- Aleppo. The

:01:17. > :01:25.commercial Times leaves on the fact that the pay of 100,000 Chief

:01:26. > :01:30.Executive rove by one tenth last year -- rose. Let's begin. The

:01:31. > :01:35.Guardian is the only one we found so far that is looking at this

:01:36. > :01:40.Paralympic story. Russia banned outright from competing at Olympics,

:01:41. > :01:45.Putin attacked for medals over morals position. A very emphatic

:01:46. > :01:50.position by the International Paralympic committee compared with

:01:51. > :01:53.the IOC. That is strange because it announced today that no Russian

:01:54. > :01:58.Paralympic and will compete but then you have the IOC who have allowed

:01:59. > :02:05.the able-bodied Russian team to compete in their current Olympics.

:02:06. > :02:10.The entire process is odd because you think, why isn't there a blanket

:02:11. > :02:15.ban for all of the Russian athletes? Why can some compete and others

:02:16. > :02:22.can't? It seems you either ban them all or decision to work some compete

:02:23. > :02:26.should stand, it is old and if I was a Paralympic and who had trained

:02:27. > :02:30.just as hard as an able-bodied athlete I would feel very aggrieved

:02:31. > :02:33.by this decision. And Russia said they will appeal. Of course we have

:02:34. > :02:38.all of the fun and games with appeals. The IOC initially banned

:02:39. > :02:44.Russia and Russian athlete and then some got in and they left up to the

:02:45. > :02:47.individual sports. The only thing is it appears the Paralympic committee

:02:48. > :02:51.have the guts to do at the Olympic Committee didn't. If the

:02:52. > :02:58.state-sponsored doping was going on then clearly the country as an

:02:59. > :03:01.entirety has no right compete in a sporting contest that is the

:03:02. > :03:07.Olympics and if you were an athlete who had trained for years and not

:03:08. > :03:12.doped then you be very aggrieved that the Russians were letting if

:03:13. > :03:17.they had. Whichever way you look at it, we you watch any of the Russian

:03:18. > :03:22.athletes, you will always come you'll just be left with a sense of,

:03:23. > :03:26.well, who is clean and who isn't? It is all such a mess. I was listening

:03:27. > :03:30.to this looming earlier and someone called Julia something or other and

:03:31. > :03:35.they kept saying a very controversial figure every time they

:03:36. > :03:40.said their name because she has had a positive test in the past. Even if

:03:41. > :03:43.she is clean now. Such a cloud hanging over the entire team. It

:03:44. > :03:45.spoils the whole thing, which hopefully won't happen at the

:03:46. > :03:52.Paralympics because they will be banned. It is based on tests from

:03:53. > :03:57.the Sochi games, samples from the Winter games. And what appears... In

:03:58. > :04:02.which they came second. Shall we look at the Metro. MPs fight me's

:04:03. > :04:07.bid to expand grammars. No sooner has the prime Minster expressed his

:04:08. > :04:11.desire to have more grammar schools in some people are climbing all over

:04:12. > :04:18.the idea. Who doesn't like it in particular? It is a political walk,

:04:19. > :04:25.this is a great story. MPs don't really matter. Because if the Tories

:04:26. > :04:30.get behind this, they can get it through the Commons. The problems

:04:31. > :04:33.start in the Lords because the Tories don't have a majority there

:04:34. > :04:42.yet, there are still building their numbers and that is why Tim Farron

:04:43. > :04:47.comes into play. His eight MPs, but many Lords, somewhere in the

:04:48. > :04:57.vicinity of 100 Lords and they have the balance of power. Labour will

:04:58. > :05:02.oppose it if the Lib Dems supported and they get other people on the

:05:03. > :05:05.thing would get past. People who like grammar schools say they

:05:06. > :05:09.promote social mobility and give children from disadvantaged

:05:10. > :05:13.backgrounds the option to to have an education that their parents

:05:14. > :05:16.couldn't necessarily afford to buy? Most of the objections stem from the

:05:17. > :05:20.fact of this idea of social mobility has not been proven. That might have

:05:21. > :05:25.happened historically but if you look at Granero system now -- the

:05:26. > :05:29.grammar system now. The number of children who go there who have free

:05:30. > :05:35.school meals, measure of poverty, is a very old number, about 3% in some

:05:36. > :05:41.schools. The argument is we have a system where there are grammar

:05:42. > :05:45.schools and in those schools that is not social mobility, so why is

:05:46. > :05:48.creating more grammar schools going to encourage more social mobility?

:05:49. > :05:55.What it will do is encourage those sharp elbowed parents... Who just

:05:56. > :05:59.want the best for their children? Everyone wants the best but some

:06:00. > :06:02.people have more of a means you can get tutors and the other

:06:03. > :06:04.paraphernalia that comes with passing these exams you will have a

:06:05. > :06:12.better advantage. That is the main objection. It is just to keep Tory

:06:13. > :06:14.voters happy. Neil Carmichael, the new Conservative chairman of the

:06:15. > :06:20.education select committee told the BBC tonight that he would oppose

:06:21. > :06:26.moves to allow a New Generation of grammar schools. He doesn't believe

:06:27. > :06:33.that a return will improve social mobility but will be a distraction,

:06:34. > :06:35.he thinks. If the conservative camp are entirely convinced either.

:06:36. > :06:38.Ignore what I said about the Lords because the House of Commons comes

:06:39. > :06:42.back into play and then it gets more interesting. Because if you only

:06:43. > :06:46.need a few Tories to be against it for the SNP to hold the balance of

:06:47. > :06:51.power and then you have an entirely new problem is the SNP get to decide

:06:52. > :06:58.on English education policy because education is devolved Scotland.

:06:59. > :07:03.James Milner. Political wonk. If I thing is in The Sunday Telegraph who

:07:04. > :07:05.have the exclusive about grammar schools potentially being

:07:06. > :07:11.reintroduced they also have a story that said the private school system

:07:12. > :07:15.is under threat because parents have never had it so good in terms of

:07:16. > :07:18.their state school choices. We should not just automatically think

:07:19. > :07:23.that state schools are a disaster. They are doing better than ever. So

:07:24. > :07:29.why do we need grammar schools? No one has really answer that question.

:07:30. > :07:35.Let's go to the Financial Times. Blue-chip bosses ?5.5 million salary

:07:36. > :07:39.is boost me's call for a crackdown. It was only last month that the

:07:40. > :07:42.premise was saying it was unacceptable, this growing gap

:07:43. > :07:48.between the average pay of our company worker and The People

:07:49. > :07:51.running the place. In terms of grabbing the agenda, Theresa May is

:07:52. > :07:58.on the front pages of most papers for different reasons. She is really

:07:59. > :08:03.in control of the agenda. She is calling for a crackdown on salaries

:08:04. > :08:08.and says that the FTSE 100 companies, their pay has risen by a

:08:09. > :08:16.tenth to an average of ?5.5 million, which is eye watering in anyone's

:08:17. > :08:21.books. It is almost the closest you get to a silly season story in the

:08:22. > :08:25.papers because it is as if they have gone to write everyone is on

:08:26. > :08:30.holiday, let's put something about fat cats on the front page. You

:08:31. > :08:37.can't go far wrong. And it's true. Because even if it's not that new.

:08:38. > :08:43.What flatpack pay, that would be interesting. If you Amess trike --

:08:44. > :08:48.if you are Mr IKEA. It is in the States. Indeed. The figures are eye

:08:49. > :08:51.watering and then you get the American figures were Chief

:08:52. > :08:59.Executive Skip to four times employees median compensation. --

:09:00. > :09:03.204. That figure is on the sixth part of the story suggests it is

:09:04. > :09:10.maybe slightly thin fact that turned American figures, you have got a

:09:11. > :09:15.huge amount of good -- it is good to compare. Daily Express, EU exit off

:09:16. > :09:18.the lead last, Chris retrieves work on how we cut ties with bottles and

:09:19. > :09:24.a key issue is whether we will stay in the single market. It is a fairly

:09:25. > :09:34.fundamental question. Who would have thought? The express loves the EU

:09:35. > :09:42.and Brexit, not sure... They want to let us forget about Brexit. It has

:09:43. > :09:45.taken six weeks. The sixth paragraph of this is explaining the

:09:46. > :09:50.relationship between Norway and the EU, suggesting there isn't a huge

:09:51. > :09:54.amount of news in the story. It seems to be official at the Treasury

:09:55. > :09:59.have made contact with the city. What does that make? Presumably they

:10:00. > :10:04.have sent e-mails, do you want to visit us in September when we at our

:10:05. > :10:08.desks speak about this? The suggestion is there is a poll being

:10:09. > :10:12.done, two thirds of grassroots Conservative Party members don't

:10:13. > :10:15.like the idea of a Norway style relationship, which includes a

:10:16. > :10:19.single market freedom of movement. It is the freedom of movement

:10:20. > :10:24.because that was the mantra of Brexit, take back control, so if we

:10:25. > :10:31.have gone through all of this and we still have freedom of movement that

:10:32. > :10:33.will not fly with Brexiteers. Not surprised they don't want to travel

:10:34. > :10:42.down that road. It doesn't seem clear Brexit still means? Even if

:10:43. > :10:47.Brexit will happen, we believe some people... The prime ministers says

:10:48. > :10:56.altogether Brexit means Brexit. Whatever that means. It doesn't mean

:10:57. > :11:00.anything. Heretical talk. Let's look at The Daily Telegraph. Locals might

:11:01. > :11:06.get compensated for new housing. Last night it was people being

:11:07. > :11:09.potentially if the consultation goes this way being compensated if they

:11:10. > :11:15.live in a place where Shell gas is to be fracked. And the distraction.

:11:16. > :11:22.What is this about? This is a continuation of that story where

:11:23. > :11:25.developers who will have to give people, homeowners in the

:11:26. > :11:29.countryside and villages and towns where they will be developing new

:11:30. > :11:35.homes, they will have to give them potentially cash incentives to keep

:11:36. > :11:40.them sweet to get them to agree to this planning permission. I don't

:11:41. > :11:46.think that is a particularly bad idea if you have moved to a village

:11:47. > :11:48.because of the tranquillity and the peace and the lovely scenery and

:11:49. > :11:55.suddenly a developer wants to come along and build something you don't

:11:56. > :11:59.particularly want, why shouldn't you be compensated? People need to live

:12:00. > :12:11.somewhere. The question is how much do you have to be paid? If I was of,

:12:12. > :12:14.say, copyright Corbin persuasion, I might suggest this is a very Tory

:12:15. > :12:24.policy, the idea that if you give people enough money they will accept

:12:25. > :12:27.anything. It might be true. But there is something. If you give them

:12:28. > :12:31.money before you put in your planning application that would be

:12:32. > :12:35.bribery. If you do it afterwards then somehow that is OK? But if you

:12:36. > :12:40.can't get planning permission because the locals object then how

:12:41. > :12:43.do you be houses built? -- how do you get. Chouly how much you are

:12:44. > :12:53.prepared to pay would have to be part of the application? Ask the

:12:54. > :12:56.Government. I'm asking you. This is Theresa May again, taken control of

:12:57. > :13:03.the agenda and pumping out announcements that maybe don't have

:13:04. > :13:08.much substance. Maybe she would like to join us for 1130. Finally,

:13:09. > :13:15.five-year-olds reported to police for sex assaults. On suspicion of

:13:16. > :13:18.them. The suggestion here is that common sense is being abandoned

:13:19. > :13:23.because of the pressure for schools to act on allegations. What do they

:13:24. > :13:27.mean? The problem in this piece in The Telegraph which does not explain

:13:28. > :13:34.the late -- nature of these assaults so we don't know if it is touching

:13:35. > :13:38.or kissing, all we know is that teachers are calling police or

:13:39. > :13:45.reporting children as young as five to police in increasing numbers.

:13:46. > :13:52.Between 2011 and 2012 there were 719 incidents reported to the police and

:13:53. > :13:56.that has come up 1955 between 2014 of 2015. There is a suggestion there

:13:57. > :14:01.is more to report these cases to the police in the wake of the Jimmy

:14:02. > :14:08.Savile affair according to The Telegraph. The charity is talking at

:14:09. > :14:10.the moment, plan International, as are many organisations, about the

:14:11. > :14:18.rise of sexual violence and assaults in schools. They are speaking about

:14:19. > :14:21.all the children ordinarily. If there is worrying behaviour amongst

:14:22. > :14:25.small children it is probably not sexual assault, is to do with care

:14:26. > :14:30.that they need, isn't it? Yes. That is possibly why these are being

:14:31. > :14:33.flagged up. It is a good thing perhaps that some agencies are

:14:34. > :14:38.seeing something is wrong, you need to hopefully pass this onto another

:14:39. > :14:44.agency and look at is going on at home. There certainly has been a

:14:45. > :14:51.rise in sexual allegations made to the police involving schools, 719 in

:14:52. > :14:54.2011-12 to nearly 2014-15. It is interesting reporting because plan

:14:55. > :15:00.International have done the region of information to get the figures,

:15:01. > :15:03.their thing is compulsory sex and research of education in schools,

:15:04. > :15:09.which a lot of people would like to see introduced anti-government

:15:10. > :15:17.boxing to be entirely against it and -- and the Government don't seem to

:15:18. > :15:20.be. I'm not sure of plan International would be entirely

:15:21. > :15:24.delighted with the way this has been brought in. Not the statistic they

:15:25. > :15:27.were driving at, I would imagine. That is it for now but we will be

:15:28. > :15:35.back at half past 11. Hopefully they will join me too. Coming up next, we

:15:36. > :15:37.spoke about the teenage heroine of her new book, Paradise Lodge in meet

:15:38. > :15:41.the author.
