:00:00. > :00:14.the weekend. So, strong wind, heavy showers and feeling cooler as well.

:00:15. > :00:17.Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be

:00:18. > :00:22.With me are Kiran Stacey, Energy correspondent

:00:23. > :00:23.at Financial Times, and Fay Schlesinger,

:00:24. > :00:34.Starting with the Metro's headline of 'Great Scott and Great Trott'

:00:35. > :00:37.as Team GB's gold rush continues in Rio on the water

:00:38. > :00:41.The Express reports that Brexit Britain could get what it

:00:42. > :00:44.calls a special deal if talks are speeded up,

:00:45. > :00:48.according to a senior German minister.

:00:49. > :00:51.The Times leads on the conviction of UK hate preacher Anjem Choudary

:00:52. > :00:53.for encouraging support for so-called Islamic State.

:00:54. > :00:56.It says the verdict was heralded as a seismic moment

:00:57. > :01:00.That story also leading the Mail, with the headline "nailed at last",

:01:01. > :01:03.as Choudary faces being jailed for ten years after what it calls

:01:04. > :01:07.The Guardian interviews the President of the National Black

:01:08. > :01:09.Police Association, who's expressed concern about the disproportionate

:01:10. > :01:11.use of Tasers against black and ethnic minority people,

:01:12. > :01:15.in the wake of the death of former footballer Dalian Atkinson.

:01:16. > :01:19.And the Star has a picture of Laura Trott, who pedals her way

:01:20. > :01:21.into history to become Team GB's most successful female Olympian ever

:01:22. > :01:36.Let's have a look at some of those in the next couple of minutes. Let's

:01:37. > :01:41.kickoff with Olympic success on the Times. It is good news. We haven't

:01:42. > :01:47.been kicked out of the World Cup early. We are doing really well. We

:01:48. > :01:52.are currently second in the medals table, beating China as it stands,

:01:53. > :01:57.although it might not last. It is a wonderful success story. Laura Trott

:01:58. > :02:03.has got her fourth gold. Her fiance, Jason Kenny, has got his sixth, so

:02:04. > :02:06.he is level with Chris Hoy. They are a stunning couple. We have done a

:02:07. > :02:12.piece in the Times about the difference between them. She is very

:02:13. > :02:19.chatty on Twitter. She has 230,000 followers. He says he is a miserable

:02:20. > :02:23.sod. He is clearly not. He looked quite happy half an hour ago. We

:02:24. > :02:28.have put a lot of money into cycling and it is reaping the benefits. And

:02:29. > :02:33.the wonderful moments earlier today with a 16-year-old, Amy Tim Clark,

:02:34. > :02:38.who has won runs in the floor gymnastics, which was not expected

:02:39. > :02:41.-- Tinkler. You get these lovely moments of contrast. It has been a

:02:42. > :02:53.wonderfully extraordinary day. What is it today? Terrific Tuesday. I was

:02:54. > :02:57.looking at some of the records that have been struck today. Laura Trott

:02:58. > :03:02.has become the most successful British female Olympian. Jason Kenny

:03:03. > :03:10.has won as many goals as Sir Chris Hoy. The Trott and kenny household

:03:11. > :03:18.would be 12 on the medal table, they would be above Spain. Track cycling

:03:19. > :03:24.in 2008 and 2012, Britain won 14 of the 20 track cycling medals

:03:25. > :03:27.available. It is astonishing. It is also deliberate with Britain

:03:28. > :03:33.spending $32 million on track cycling. In the same time the US has

:03:34. > :03:37.only spent about $4 million. Britain identified this as a sport with lots

:03:38. > :03:42.of goals to get, you can get lots of results with tiny marginal gains,

:03:43. > :03:46.marginal gains theory, we have all heard about it, and they have said

:03:47. > :03:50.that is where we are going to go for gold, and they have done so very

:03:51. > :03:53.successfully. The hero of the games is John Major forsaking of the

:03:54. > :03:57.national lottery which in turn has funded a lot of these sports. I saw

:03:58. > :04:01.that claim in one of the papers this morning. I haven't heard his

:04:02. > :04:06.comments on that but I am sure he would be delighted. The Daily Mail,

:04:07. > :04:12.nailed at last is how they are following the Anjem Choudary story.

:04:13. > :04:19.Yeah, 20 years now Anjem Choudary has been around, talking about his

:04:20. > :04:22.support for IS, drumming up hate preaching in the UK. The authorities

:04:23. > :04:26.have been trying to chase him down for that amount of time but he has

:04:27. > :04:30.always been clever, he has stayed just on the right side of the law,

:04:31. > :04:33.he is a solicitor so he knows how it is worded, and he has stopped short

:04:34. > :04:38.of saying anything that will land him in jail until now. And it seems

:04:39. > :04:42.the reporting restrictions have been lifted on this. He has been

:04:43. > :04:50.convicted because of a minor rule, which is that he expressed praise

:04:51. > :04:57.for a statement by ISIS leader of a declaration of a new caliphate, and

:04:58. > :05:03.praise for that terror, that act of terror, that has landed him in jail.

:05:04. > :05:07.So, the Mail is quite scathing of them not getting him into jail more

:05:08. > :05:13.quickly. And rightly, to be honest. It is a good day for the court

:05:14. > :05:16.system. It is interesting, he has been convicted of much less than

:05:17. > :05:19.what we have seen in the papers. We have the ability to write things we

:05:20. > :05:22.have all known before and yet we haven't been able to say because he

:05:23. > :05:27.is a solicitor, a careful man, and you had to be careful about what you

:05:28. > :05:30.write about him. And now we can link into all of these plots which for a

:05:31. > :05:35.long time he has been linked with. And the people he has influenced.

:05:36. > :05:38.The power of words with what's happening with Islamic State, and

:05:39. > :05:42.the way young people are being drawn into it, you can't understate that.

:05:43. > :05:46.He hasn't joined the caliphate. He has sat at home and talk, he has

:05:47. > :05:52.been on TV programmes, on the news, and he pushed his message. This is a

:05:53. > :05:56.really important blow. It is important, and it is, obviously, a

:05:57. > :06:01.shame we haven't got him into jail before. It is a good thing the law

:06:02. > :06:05.is drawn so tightly as it is. It is important people have free speech. I

:06:06. > :06:08.don't think he should be able to say all the things he has said at the

:06:09. > :06:11.law should be drawn tightly to stop the state going after people it

:06:12. > :06:15.simply doesn't like. It is important that these rules are very clearly

:06:16. > :06:20.defined. The risk with that is a trained person can game the system

:06:21. > :06:25.and eventually the authorities, as we saw today, will probably catch up

:06:26. > :06:29.with him. One more for us because time is regrettably tight, because

:06:30. > :06:33.we keep winning gold medals. The Guardian, this story about tax

:06:34. > :06:37.avoidance. We knew what to reason may set about it when she became PM.

:06:38. > :06:42.And now a clampdown of some description. Yes, we have seen a

:06:43. > :06:46.number of them on tax avoidance. This specifically targets the

:06:47. > :06:50.industry around tax avoidance, banks, accountancy firms and

:06:51. > :06:53.consultants who have schemes through which people can pump their money

:06:54. > :06:59.and save tax at the other end. And until now they have got away

:07:00. > :07:05.scot-free because, if you yourself put in a tax avoidance scheme, these

:07:06. > :07:09.guys make money from the back of it, and this is an attempt to try to

:07:10. > :07:13.fine them for the same amount of tax that they save for their clients. I

:07:14. > :07:16.wonder if it will succeed but, on the surface, it seems a good deal. A

:07:17. > :07:22.clampdown that will make a difference? The big four accountancy

:07:23. > :07:25.firms are very, very good at, as we have been talking about already in a

:07:26. > :07:29.different story and different context, treading the right side of

:07:30. > :07:32.the law. They will fight a way to put wording into the contract that

:07:33. > :07:36.will make sure they are not put on the hook for any scheme they are

:07:37. > :07:38.marketing. They will say it was just a suggestion rather than

:07:39. > :07:44.recommendation to make sure they are never quite pinned down. It has

:07:45. > :07:50.become fashionable, understandably, because people got angry with tax

:07:51. > :07:55.avoidance, to announce every budget. This has come in summer, so it is

:07:56. > :08:00.different. This is still to be seen though. Time has beaten us, I am

:08:01. > :08:02.afraid. Thank you both very much indeed. That is it for the papers

:08:03. > :08:03.tonight. Don't forget all the front pages

:08:04. > :08:06.are online on the BBC News website where you can read a detailed

:08:07. > :08:09.review of the papers. It's all there for you, seven days

:08:10. > :08:11.a week, at BBC.co.uk/papers, and you can see us there too,

:08:12. > :08:14.with each night's edition of the papers being posted

:08:15. > :08:18.on the page shortly after we've
