Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be

:00:00.:00:18.

With me are Benedicte Paviot from France 24 and the editor

:00:19.:00:24.

Tomorrow's front pages starting with...

:00:25.:00:29.

The Times says followers of the radical preacher

:00:30.:00:32.

Anjem Choudary are spreading hatred and Islamist doctrines freely

:00:33.:00:35.

across the internet despite his conviction.

:00:36.:00:39.

Nick Skelton is pictured on the Telegraph

:00:40.:00:41.

Its main story focuses on the Help To Buy ISA.

:00:42.:00:49.

It says the government's top up cannot be used for

:00:50.:00:51.

The Mail says Theresa May has ordered a victory

:00:52.:00:55.

parade 'fit for heroes' to welcome home Britain's Olympic team.

:00:56.:01:01.

The FT reports that Royal Bank of Scotland will charge

:01:02.:01:03.

some large corporate customers for holding their cash.

:01:04.:01:09.

The Express reports on moves in the City of London

:01:10.:01:11.

to prepare for Britain's exit from the EU.

:01:12.:01:14.

And the Guardian looks at the effect on women seeking

:01:15.:01:17.

abortions after services run by Marie Stopes were suddenly halted

:01:18.:01:19.

Let's begin with the story of the heroes coming home to a heroes'

:01:20.:01:39.

welcome on the front page of the Mail. Interesting to see that the

:01:40.:01:44.

new boss of the UK, Theresa May, is interrupting her Swiss walking

:01:45.:01:47.

holiday and apparently according to the Daily Mail, they seem to know

:01:48.:01:52.

that she ordered a victory parade fit for heroes to welcome home

:01:53.:01:57.

Britain's Olympic team. They certainly are extraordinary. What

:01:58.:02:00.

we've been witnessing I gather on BBC One and BBC Two, the ice fog

:02:01.:02:08.

women's final. I feel like I need a manual now -- ice hockey. What are

:02:09.:02:13.

the British team on? Belief is extraordinary. To watch that

:02:14.:02:16.

sacrifice over four years we haven't seen and then to watch these

:02:17.:02:20.

results. They are all egging each other on but if you haven't done the

:02:21.:02:24.

training then it won't happen. I have to say before I moved to Kevin,

:02:25.:02:29.

with your French heritage, what do the French make of it trailing in

:02:30.:02:35.

the wake? Trailing in the wake definitely, nine golds, seventh or

:02:36.:02:41.

eighth I think. Extraordinary. The French cycling team, we know what

:02:42.:02:43.

they think, they think the British team to disappear for a cycle they

:02:44.:02:50.

say. What is interesting is the lottery funding. Clearly the British

:02:51.:02:56.

teams know that they must do well at the Olympics so they focus on the

:02:57.:03:01.

Olympics. But we know from London 2012, ancient history now, that the

:03:02.:03:05.

French were very disappointed, they were world champions and they were

:03:06.:03:10.

astonished, they accused the British of using special warmers for their

:03:11.:03:16.

muscles and all kinds of things. We are not giving away any secrets

:03:17.:03:22.

here! I am British and French so I can give some of them. Talking about

:03:23.:03:27.

the parade, I as a northerner and pleased it is in Manchester I have

:03:28.:03:32.

to say. I thought Dame Tessa Jau got it spot on. I don't want to

:03:33.:03:37.

politicise it but was the government slow on this? It seems incredible

:03:38.:03:42.

there was any doubt there would be some kind of a parade, I would think

:03:43.:03:47.

there is a matter of course with this, given how successful Team GB

:03:48.:03:50.

has been, that there wouldn't be an opportunity for the country to come

:03:51.:03:54.

together and for ordinary members of the public to come out and see them

:03:55.:03:59.

parading through the streets. Obviously it happened in London,

:04:00.:04:03.

after the 2008 Beijing Olympics as well, I would have thought this has

:04:04.:04:07.

been organised well in advance but it looks like it has been an

:04:08.:04:12.

afterthought and they would have to step up to the plate at the last

:04:13.:04:16.

minute. It is a nice touch it isn't in London. You think it is right and

:04:17.:04:20.

proper to be outside London? It is very easy for these things to become

:04:21.:04:24.

London centric and people assume it has to be the UK capital so it is

:04:25.:04:28.

good to take it further north and that allows people from elsewhere in

:04:29.:04:36.

the country to share in it. There will also be an event in London so

:04:37.:04:41.

it is a good idea. Manchester isn't quite before midnight confirmed but

:04:42.:04:45.

it is what the Daily Mail are saying. And other news channel is

:04:46.:04:49.

confirming that. We will come back to Rio. Let's have a look at the

:04:50.:04:55.

other headlines before we do that. Starting with this story in the

:04:56.:05:00.

Times, is it any great surprise with Anjem Choudary out of the way there

:05:01.:05:04.

are still acolytes putting videos on the web? The fact of the matter is

:05:05.:05:09.

the one that has been charged and convicted is Anjem Choudary. What

:05:10.:05:16.

this article in the Times talks about is the fact that the Internet

:05:17.:05:21.

is failing to take down his acolytes, the people that he has

:05:22.:05:27.

convinced. I think the fact of the matter is what this underlines is

:05:28.:05:32.

the fact YouTube really is a fantastic, as we know, platform, and

:05:33.:05:35.

that this really needs policing, that's the word that is appropriate.

:05:36.:05:43.

Because the Internet has just become this extraordinary platform for all

:05:44.:05:46.

kinds of things. But it does mean that there needs to be a real

:05:47.:05:52.

policy, whether it's from the UK government, the French government,

:05:53.:05:56.

there needs to be a consistent policy and therefore discussions

:05:57.:06:00.

with YouTube and Twitter and social media, but we know that when things

:06:01.:06:04.

are taken down they often reappear. This is very important because what

:06:05.:06:09.

we have seen and what the intelligence services in France and

:06:10.:06:12.

Britain and Germany and Switzerland and elsewhere are telling us clearly

:06:13.:06:17.

is that it is no longer in mosques that people are being radicalised,

:06:18.:06:20.

it's in their bedrooms via the Internet that contracts are being

:06:21.:06:26.

made. We think the Nice attack... Another person died today so the

:06:27.:06:30.

death toll in Nice is now 86 dead among the many hundreds of

:06:31.:06:35.

injured... Is that the two people we think who were responsible for the

:06:36.:06:42.

murder of the catholic priest up near Rouen were two people that met

:06:43.:06:47.

via social media, who had never met before. This really needs to be

:06:48.:06:51.

addressed or else it makes a mockery of other security measures that we

:06:52.:06:57.

are taking. There's a lot of frustration about Twitter in

:06:58.:07:01.

particular not pulling down things that quite clearly are inflammatory.

:07:02.:07:05.

Exactly. There's an argument when you could say that technology is

:07:06.:07:09.

moving so quickly that as quickly as YouTube take these things down,

:07:10.:07:13.

others can put them back up again and how do they keep on top of it?

:07:14.:07:17.

It's quite a resource to pay for that kind of thing. You mentioned

:07:18.:07:22.

Twitter, there was a thing this week about people saying any footage of

:07:23.:07:27.

the Olympics that wasn't authorised was being pulled down by Twitter

:07:28.:07:30.

instantly. It can be done. Because of corporate violations and there

:07:31.:07:34.

was money to be made. They are saying things like Twitter trials

:07:35.:07:38.

and abuse. Death threats, rape threats. They are much slower to

:07:39.:07:45.

act. This is another example of the Internet, a great resource and

:07:46.:07:49.

platform, but how it can be used and abused by people with evil intent.

:07:50.:07:55.

Yet it needs a crackdown but how do you police it? I don't know, you can

:07:56.:07:59.

try but it is almost like trying to hold back the tide, you know?

:08:00.:08:04.

Talking about difficulty in policing, this takes us rather

:08:05.:08:08.

neatly to a decision in Germany to ban the Muslim veil. A partial ban.

:08:09.:08:17.

This is pretty divisive because lots of people are saying, hang on, you

:08:18.:08:21.

are ordering people to bear their flesh when maybe they don't want to,

:08:22.:08:26.

but there are other considerations, especially in fly France. One has to

:08:27.:08:33.

be careful because people tend, for example I have seen on Twitter in

:08:34.:08:38.

the UK to have... And they I'm titled to have very British

:08:39.:08:42.

reactions to a British context. That they are entitled to. But then they

:08:43.:08:47.

apply it to France and Germany -- they I'm titled to. In France there

:08:48.:08:52.

is a law against the veil and it's a different context -- they are

:08:53.:08:58.

entitled to. In Germany I understand, unlike France, it is a

:08:59.:09:02.

secular state, very much for bidding wearing of the kneecap, the burqa,

:09:03.:09:08.

in public spaces. -- for bidding the kneecap. In Germany it is freedom of

:09:09.:09:16.

religion and trickier to implement. Apparently this isn't overly

:09:17.:09:20.

divorced from the fact there are big elections in Germany next year.

:09:21.:09:23.

What's interesting is the interior minister, who is half French and

:09:24.:09:29.

half German, the Maiziere, who has talked about this and is proposing

:09:30.:09:35.

this, it is about a partial ban on the face veil in schools and

:09:36.:09:41.

universities. It is clear on the back of the attacks in Germany there

:09:42.:09:46.

is a certain backlash in Germany towards Muslim refugees coming from

:09:47.:09:52.

Afghanistan and Iraq and Syria. What the German government of Angela

:09:53.:09:56.

Merkel are being accused of is pandering to those fears instead of

:09:57.:10:00.

saying, as Angola Merkel said the other day, this isn't related to the

:10:01.:10:05.

influx of refugees. You mention Angela Merkel coming under lots of

:10:06.:10:12.

political pressure, her poll ratings are on the slide, she was very

:10:13.:10:16.

popular, obviously there is an anxiety in Germany now, there's more

:10:17.:10:22.

of these random, lone wolf attacks. She has been partially blamed or

:10:23.:10:25.

wholly blamed by many people on the right in particular in Germany for

:10:26.:10:31.

opening the doors to refugees from Syria. This I think should be seen

:10:32.:10:38.

in that context. It is a way of saying we get it, we are not

:10:39.:10:43.

completely pandering to them. This is a way of being tough on Islamism.

:10:44.:10:52.

It is a gesture and it is not something we would ever see

:10:53.:10:56.

introduced in this country. I don't think it would be implemented but it

:10:57.:11:02.

is just talked about. It must be underlined that Germany is home to 4

:11:03.:11:07.

million Muslims, as the paper points out, 5% of its population. France

:11:08.:11:11.

the highest, around 6 million Muslims. Let's move on to the

:11:12.:11:15.

Telegraph. Kevin, what about this story about the betrayal of help to

:11:16.:11:22.

buy scheme savers. This is a terrible story and this is a

:11:23.:11:28.

Telegraph Mac exclusive. George Osborne in what turned out to be his

:11:29.:11:33.

last budget unveiled the help to buy ISA, which was the way the

:11:34.:11:39.

government would top up people's savings to get a deposit for a new

:11:40.:11:45.

home, and which, as we know in London, first-time buyers are

:11:46.:11:50.

finding it impossible to come up with the money for a deposit. It was

:11:51.:11:55.

widely mel, welcomed. It was a decent return, for every ?200 saved

:11:56.:12:01.

the government would add 50, it's lots of money up to ?15,000. In the

:12:02.:12:07.

small print it turns out it can't be used for a deposit. The money is

:12:08.:12:11.

only released once the sale is completed. The thinking is that you

:12:12.:12:15.

can use it for the first few months' mortgage payments or something like

:12:16.:12:19.

that. What is the point? The argument is, what is the point? If

:12:20.:12:24.

you can't get a deposit in the first place you will never complete on a

:12:25.:12:29.

sale so you can't access the money. The point is you would need the 25%

:12:30.:12:33.

on top of your savings to afford the deposit. Unless you are fortunate

:12:34.:12:38.

enough to have rich parents, the bank of mum and dad to help you out.

:12:39.:12:44.

This certainly wasn't how it was sold at the time by George Osborne,

:12:45.:12:48.

who conveniently has left the stage now and it seems he has left a mess

:12:49.:12:53.

behind him. This is embarrassing for Theresa May because one of the first

:12:54.:12:57.

things she said when she arrived in number ten, a quality. Opportunity.

:12:58.:13:03.

That is why the word betrayal is used by the Telegraph -- equality.

:13:04.:13:08.

More than half a million people have taken on this Help To Buy Scheme

:13:09.:13:14.

ISA, given the chance of getting on the ladder but now it has been taken

:13:15.:13:18.

from under them. Moving on. The bottom of the Guardian, a story

:13:19.:13:22.

about the children in Aleppo, we don't need reminding after the

:13:23.:13:26.

pictures this week of the five-year-old boy who was dragged

:13:27.:13:29.

out of a building that had been bombed. Apparently he didn't cry, I

:13:30.:13:34.

was reading today, he has been reunited with his parents, which

:13:35.:13:38.

hasn't been published everywhere. It seems it's only when the children

:13:39.:13:42.

are on the front pages of the newspapers that we take any notice.

:13:43.:13:46.

It does seem that way, but it seems when the Guardian does an excellent

:13:47.:13:50.

article like this on the front page, that is also what real journalism is

:13:51.:13:55.

about. Emma Graham Harrison writes a really compelling story. It is

:13:56.:14:02.

continued on page 15. It describes this orphanage that is actually two

:14:03.:14:07.

floors below in a basement. It is an extraordinary couple who are called

:14:08.:14:18.

Azamar and his wife, his name isn't there a lass. But there are 50

:14:19.:14:22.

children who are being looked after in this orphanage, which apparently

:14:23.:14:30.

means outstanding guys. It talks about the subterranean Haven. It is

:14:31.:14:36.

a haven for those children. Emma Graham Harrison talks about how if

:14:37.:14:41.

we think Omran had it bad, the little child we saw bloodied and so

:14:42.:14:47.

shocked that he couldn't even and didn't even cry, these are orphans

:14:48.:14:51.

who have either lost both of their parents and they range in age from

:14:52.:14:56.

two to 14, all one of their parents, their mother or father has died, and

:14:57.:15:00.

the other has had a nervous breakdown or can't cope or has been

:15:01.:15:04.

separated from them. These orphans are being educated. They play. They

:15:05.:15:10.

used to be taken outside but it is now too dangerous with the Russian

:15:11.:15:15.

airstrikes and the Syrian government bombings. Let's finish on a happier

:15:16.:15:18.

note and look at the picture on the Daily Express. Nick Skelton, so many

:15:19.:15:24.

good stories, you can't do them all justice, but at 58, with replacement

:15:25.:15:31.

hip. A broken neck. Extraordinary. We've got a meeting at 16, the

:15:32.:15:36.

youngest member of the team taking bronze, now the oldest member taking

:15:37.:15:42.

gold. The oldest or over 100 years apparently. Since 1908 -- for over.

:15:43.:15:51.

You want to know the oldest? He was called John Copley and he won a

:15:52.:15:58.

silver medal in art. Art? Art was an Olympic discipline up until 1948 and

:15:59.:16:06.

Jo his engraving was called Polo Players. The oldest Olympian was a

:16:07.:16:12.

Swiss man who won gold that year for watercolours. What I love is this

:16:13.:16:19.

hero... He was 73. I love the fact that Nick Skelton... Sorry, but he

:16:20.:16:24.

had a broken neck, he's got an artificial hip and he was riding a

:16:25.:16:28.

horse that was predestined to win this called Big Star. I love the

:16:29.:16:34.

humility of the man who says he is almost speechless, which seems to be

:16:35.:16:39.

rare for him, and he says then that he did really well. He's just

:16:40.:16:45.

talking about his horse, Big Star. He doesn't even talk about his

:16:46.:16:49.

experience or wisdom and boy did it pay off. Bravo. We are out of time.

:16:50.:16:51.

That's it for the Papers tonight before you go these front pages have

:16:52.:16:55.

Don't forget all the front pages are online on the BBC News website

:16:56.:17:00.

where you can read a detailed review of the papers.

:17:01.:17:02.

with each night's edition of The Papers being posted

:17:03.:17:10.

on the page shortly after we've finished.
