:00:13. > :00:16.Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be
:00:17. > :00:24.With me are Claire Cohen, women's editor at the Daily
:00:25. > :00:32.Telegraph, and Peter Spiegel, US editor of the Financial Times.
:00:33. > :00:36.Nice to meet you. Thank you for giving up your Friday night for us.
:00:37. > :00:40.The Daily Mirror reports from the front line of the battle
:00:41. > :00:42.to push Isis out of the Iraqi city of Mosul.
:00:43. > :00:45.The Times says its investigation has revealed more than 150 police
:00:46. > :00:47.officers are under investigation for alleged sexual misconduct.
:00:48. > :00:49.The Financial Times has news of a merger between AT
:00:50. > :00:51.and Time Warner that could create the world's biggest
:00:52. > :00:56.The Daily Telegraph leads on what police say was a foiled plot
:00:57. > :01:00.Theresa May had tough words for EU leaders
:01:01. > :01:03.at her first summit in Brussels, according to the Daily Express,
:01:04. > :01:11.telling them to "grow up" and accept Brexit.
:01:12. > :01:16.The Mail features a story of a man who has been removed from the care
:01:17. > :01:23.of his mother after she brought him up as a girl. We can start with the
:01:24. > :01:30.merrier. They don't always do this but I big picture story. -- The
:01:31. > :01:35.Mirror. One mile away from Isis. Dispatches from the front line. We
:01:36. > :01:43.need to go inside to get the bulk of the story, but this is the plan to
:01:44. > :01:49.try and take back most from IES. It is going very slowly and it is a
:01:50. > :01:53.very harrowing by the photographer who is embedded with the Kurdish
:01:54. > :02:01.fighters from northern Iraq. I spent some time reporting on the Iraq war
:02:02. > :02:05.in 2003-2004 and it rings very true. Not knowing exactly what is going
:02:06. > :02:12.on. They see an explosion and they don't know where it is coming from.
:02:13. > :02:16.There are explosions. The interesting thing to me is those
:02:17. > :02:21.years with the Kurdish fighters in the north, the real story is going
:02:22. > :02:25.to be the Iraqi forces themselves, because they disintegrated when I is
:02:26. > :02:31.assured and most reporters have not been able to spend any time with
:02:32. > :02:35.Iraqi forces. We have some compelling accounts but we do not
:02:36. > :02:42.have much of what the official Iraqi forces are doing. One thing that
:02:43. > :02:49.jumped out at me is Colonel Mohammed quoted, a senior military commander,
:02:50. > :02:53.who says we are not just fighting for our own sake but for the rest of
:02:54. > :02:57.the world. He is appealing to the west to take note of their
:02:58. > :03:03.successes. He also says that when we stop here we will them everywhere.
:03:04. > :03:08.The Mirror reports this is the same terror franchise that has big
:03:09. > :03:15.destruction in Paris and Brussels. -- Paris and Britain is always in
:03:16. > :03:20.its sights. They do not know what they are up against. Up to 8000
:03:21. > :03:26.jihadis prepared to fight to the death hiding in tunnels. They have
:03:27. > :03:31.discovered the big network. There is a sense they do not know what
:03:32. > :03:37.they're up against. It is also worth mentioning the attacks. Another
:03:38. > :03:44.hundred miles away. You push them down in one place and a pop-up
:03:45. > :03:52.elsewhere. This is an effort by the Iraqis to create a pool where they
:03:53. > :03:58.gradually take back the territory. If they lose any big oil centres
:03:59. > :04:04.that would be a setback. Colonel Mohammed says this could take tissue
:04:05. > :04:09.or three months -- this could take two or three months, but I think we
:04:10. > :04:14.are in for a long slog here. It will take a long time to retake the city.
:04:15. > :04:16.Point-mac they said that they were making better progress than
:04:17. > :04:23.expected, but you cannot assume that will always be the case. It is
:04:24. > :04:27.Americans that said that. They are embedded with the fighters. Had an
:04:28. > :04:33.American casualty in the last 24 hours. Sometimes the Pentagon has
:04:34. > :04:36.some happy talk in the early stages of an operation because you move
:04:37. > :04:41.quickly until you get into the urban areas. I expect that Colonel
:04:42. > :04:48.Mohammed is probably more reliable. He is still saying some quite
:04:49. > :04:54.notable things. I guess what strikes me about is that we knew about in
:04:55. > :05:01.advance, so if we knew, I new. That is a tactical thing that the
:05:02. > :05:05.coalition has tended to do towards civilians. You do not want
:05:06. > :05:11.civilians, you need to signal to them to get into bomb shelters. You
:05:12. > :05:15.can think of it as a bad strategic move, but it is a way to try and
:05:16. > :05:20.protect civilians from war. Some of the violence they are seeing is
:05:21. > :05:24.designed to help them. The story will come out in the coming days.
:05:25. > :05:41.Point-mac we can look at The Telegraph. May box at Brexit talks
:05:42. > :05:53.in French. I know the negotiator very well for the EU. She is French.
:05:54. > :05:58.Therefore, he speaks French. He came to Brussels for the first time six
:05:59. > :06:01.years ago speaking no English. His English is better but he has
:06:02. > :06:07.requested documents are given to him in French, which is not outrageous.
:06:08. > :06:11.There has been a claim that he is demanding all detox being French,
:06:12. > :06:17.but that is not our understanding. This is a bit off an attempt by
:06:18. > :06:23.Downing Street to show that Theresa May is tough and standing up to the
:06:24. > :06:25.French, but it was always anticipated that there would be
:06:26. > :06:30.translators and ease the graduations. The two languages of
:06:31. > :06:36.the EU are French and English, the German is also one of those seldom
:06:37. > :06:40.used. I think it is a fun story but it does not hold up to scrutiny. I
:06:41. > :06:46.don't know how we would participate if it was not in French. I'm sure
:06:47. > :06:51.that whoever is involved they would want to be speaking in their own
:06:52. > :06:57.language. It is complicated. If you read down in the story it does back
:06:58. > :07:03.up what Peter said and they have denied it and have not decided what
:07:04. > :07:07.language they will use yet. I guess, ideally, he would want to talk in
:07:08. > :07:12.French, but there is no suggestion that must be the case. It is just a
:07:13. > :07:18.excuse for Toulouse are made to look strong. It says that she slapped the
:07:19. > :07:22.stone. She is saying they are immature. She's trying to rebuke the
:07:23. > :07:27.fact that Britain is on the naughty step. She has to satisfy a home
:07:28. > :07:33.audience and the 27 leaders of the EU will have to negotiate with her.
:07:34. > :07:37.It is a difficult place to be. The Europeans have been talking tough.
:07:38. > :07:46.She arrived yesterday to this discussion about Brexit. Going into
:07:47. > :07:49.the meeting yesterday, we saw the president of France and the
:07:50. > :07:54.Chancellor of Germany talking very tough on this, saying that if you
:07:55. > :07:58.want hard Brexit this will be a hard ago shisha on. It is difficult for
:07:59. > :08:02.the French because there is an election coming up and he is running
:08:03. > :08:09.against front Nash and a who are in favour of leaving the year. -- front
:08:10. > :08:16.national. They need to show their domestic audience it will be
:08:17. > :08:22.difficult. We want a smooth Brexit. We can look at The Times. Hundreds
:08:23. > :08:26.of police sex pests uncovered, they are facing tough new punishments.
:08:27. > :08:34.The suggestion this has been going on and we do not know about it. It
:08:35. > :08:37.is a shocking story. There are currently 156 sexual misconduct
:08:38. > :08:42.inquiries being carried out into police officers in England, Wales
:08:43. > :08:46.and Scotland. It suggested has been going on for a number of years. 400
:08:47. > :08:51.members of the public have made complaints in the last five years.
:08:52. > :08:55.They have just made complaints, there are other people that are not
:08:56. > :09:00.coming forward, vulnerable woman. There is no suggestion there are men
:09:01. > :09:06.involved who are being abused. Police officers abusing their power
:09:07. > :09:10.and having sexual relationships. We were talking about this before we
:09:11. > :09:14.went on, the numbers here. This disclosure comes from only one in
:09:15. > :09:22.four forces that gave the numbers to The Times, so we do not know what
:09:23. > :09:30.the fool story is. How many priests are in the UK, because 150 out of
:09:31. > :09:33.the police, but we don't know what percentage of being accused of this.
:09:34. > :09:38.I would like to know how this compares to other countries. I
:09:39. > :09:42.imagine the United States, my country, does not have a good record
:09:43. > :09:47.on that. It would be interesting to see how they stack up against other
:09:48. > :09:56.countries. Any one of these cases is too many and the numbers are quite
:09:57. > :09:59.high. We can look at the Financial Times. Hackers silence Internet on
:10:00. > :10:06.US coast with an attack on a web address service. This affected our
:10:07. > :10:11.website today. The FT and the New York Times and Twitter and other
:10:12. > :10:16.major Web services that have a server in the US. It started on the
:10:17. > :10:22.ease coast of the US and it spread to the west Coast. Even though we
:10:23. > :10:32.use this service, we had never heard of the company. They are a small
:10:33. > :10:35.company that turned what you write in to a web search into digits. It
:10:36. > :10:40.is a phone directory for the Internet. If they don't have that
:10:41. > :10:45.translation service you cannot access websites. This was clearly
:10:46. > :10:49.one of the biggest tax we have seen in recent years and they are getting
:10:50. > :10:53.worse stop they have figured out ways to do this and more
:10:54. > :10:59.sophisticated ways. We were talking to security experts who are saying
:11:00. > :11:03.they are starting to use things like refrigerators and baby monitors
:11:04. > :11:10.because they are less secure. Your baby monitor can be attacked a
:11:11. > :11:16.certain websites. Multiple, thousands of people, signing onto
:11:17. > :11:25.websites. Great opportunities and cyber security. The US to party of
:11:26. > :11:30.Homeland Security does not know who did this or why they did it. The
:11:31. > :11:36.concern seems to be that it is a precursor to something happening on
:11:37. > :11:43.the US Election Day. There is a suggestion this has been done by
:11:44. > :11:55.people for political means. I was affected by this. When did your
:11:56. > :12:01.Twitter go down? About an hour ago. Sorry if you're trying to contact
:12:02. > :12:07.me. Here is a picture of Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump at this
:12:08. > :12:11.dinner, but it was Donald's bad taste in and the campaign heads a
:12:12. > :12:19.new low. Hillary Clinton look quite amused. She likes to laugh at Donald
:12:20. > :12:24.Trump. This was a memorial dinner which is a pre-election ritual in
:12:25. > :12:30.New York. Traditionally it is quite good-natured and the candidates come
:12:31. > :12:35.together with the Catholics and the New York elite and they laugh at
:12:36. > :12:39.themselves. That is what Hillary Clinton did, she made a few jokes
:12:40. > :12:45.about things Trump had ripped four, the Donald Trump went in hard and
:12:46. > :12:54.used it like our secondary debate. He was booed. I'm not sure it is a
:12:55. > :12:59.new low for him, it has been quite low for a long time. This is one of
:13:00. > :13:06.the moments that happens occasionally when you're meant to
:13:07. > :13:11.self that you, but Trump does not do that. He made one decent joke when
:13:12. > :13:17.he made fun of his speech were made at the convention, saying Michelle
:13:18. > :13:20.Obama gives a speech and everyone loves my wife gives the same speech
:13:21. > :13:24.and everyone hates it. It was the only good joke he gave. He says that
:13:25. > :13:30.Hillary Clinton is only pretending to like Catholics but she hates
:13:31. > :13:35.Catholics. He got booed. Then he said, I don't know what they are
:13:36. > :13:41.booing at me or you. Then someone shouted, we are building at you,
:13:42. > :13:46.Donald. It is a tired then and I'm not sure his voters going to be
:13:47. > :13:52.upset if you'd read to them. It will be interesting to see how it plays.
:13:53. > :13:56.Deed think he has given up? Their strategy is to rally the base and
:13:57. > :14:01.get people angry so they turn up to vote and suppress her boat by saying
:14:02. > :14:08.the independents who think she is corrupt will not show up, but
:14:09. > :14:11.energise those who will show up. Do not think he is laying the ground
:14:12. > :14:18.work from reasons for his defeat? His voter bases quite
:14:19. > :14:24.conspiratorially, the stuff about not accepting the result, he is
:14:25. > :14:29.trying to rally his people to show up and make sure it is not wrecked.
:14:30. > :14:35.I don't think it is going to work, the Republicans have tried it in the
:14:36. > :14:39.past, and the Kennedys, to generate outrage just before Election Day and
:14:40. > :14:43.generally it doesn't work. I would say that Hillary Clinton is going to
:14:44. > :14:57.win. A couple of stories in The Times. Minister sabotage built to
:14:58. > :15:05.clear gay men. It was to remove sexual offence charges from people
:15:06. > :15:11.who are still alive. There was a justice minister involved and he
:15:12. > :15:17.topped the Tote, which means that he topped for too long. I think this is
:15:18. > :15:22.a dish of spectral story. It was thought yesterday they gay men would
:15:23. > :15:29.be pardoned, not only posthumous labour those who are still alive,
:15:30. > :15:36.for historic sex offences. This is after Alan Shearer was pardoned in
:15:37. > :15:41.2014. But that is only going to apply to people on a posthumous
:15:42. > :15:47.basis. The living can already apply to have their records wiped. Nigel
:15:48. > :15:51.Adams is very angry about this and said it was disrespectful. He said
:15:52. > :15:59.that he was fighting back tears. Wes Brown was upset about it too. This
:16:00. > :16:07.was brought by an SNP MP, John Nicholson. This morning it sounded
:16:08. > :16:11.like it was good to happen. I did not realise this was still an issue,
:16:12. > :16:15.that they had not already pardoned everyone. All the reporting we had
:16:16. > :16:18.this morning and last night when this bill was coming to the comments
:16:19. > :16:24.was that it was going to be easily wade through and frankly he
:16:25. > :16:30.presented the paper in front of me and I was amazed that it had not
:16:31. > :16:35.gone through. It is tragic for a number of people who are still
:16:36. > :16:41.alive. It was interesting, I heard a lot of people on your broadcast
:16:42. > :16:44.talking about this who were convicted of this and are still
:16:45. > :16:48.alive and are angry because they do not want to be pardoned because
:16:49. > :16:54.there is nothing wrong with that. That is not what this minister was
:16:55. > :16:57.trying to do. The minister is still planning to support an amendment to
:16:58. > :17:03.the law that would allow a blanket pardon for those still alive, but it
:17:04. > :17:09.is not going to happen today. Another story in The Times, a level
:17:10. > :17:15.art history gets a lifeline by archaeology may be dead and buried.
:17:16. > :17:19.They are looking at what A-level subjects will have to stop for
:17:20. > :17:23.various reasons, they cannot find examiners, it is difficult because
:17:24. > :17:28.this together. There was a bit of concern about art history. There was
:17:29. > :17:34.a bit of an outcry about A-level art history being scrapped. I did
:17:35. > :17:38.English and art history at degree level, so I feel quite passionate
:17:39. > :17:45.about this. It is the ongoing suggestion that humanity is seen as
:17:46. > :17:50.-- suggestion that humanity is seen as Mickey Mouse subjects, but we
:17:51. > :17:58.cannot all be maths wizards. But pure maths is also going to hit the
:17:59. > :18:03.dust. I did not take an A-level, so I'm not sure I have strong opinions
:18:04. > :18:06.on this. I was a history major and if we do not train people to know
:18:07. > :18:13.how to write we will not have newspapers any more. People always
:18:14. > :18:17.say to me what should you studied to become a journalist, English? That
:18:18. > :18:22.is fine, if you want, but the best news rooms are full of people with
:18:23. > :18:28.lots of different experience. They keep having to do this embarrassing
:18:29. > :18:38.U-turns. They tried to drop them at this -- drop feminism from the
:18:39. > :18:45.politics curriculum. In The Telegraph, a Park has banned dog
:18:46. > :18:52.walkers. Thousands of open spaces are no longer open to professional
:18:53. > :18:59.dog walkers. 3300 open spaces have seen dog walkers bands will stop I
:19:00. > :19:08.think this is after the 2014 ASBO spell control. The kennel club has
:19:09. > :19:14.spoken out and accused councils of waging a war on dogs. I don't know
:19:15. > :19:21.if that is entirely fair, because it is professional dog walkers. UDC
:19:22. > :19:29.people trying to handle five or six dogs, which must be quite tricky.
:19:30. > :19:32.Difficult to clean up after as well. It does seem like punching the
:19:33. > :19:39.majority for the actions of the minority. That visit from the papers
:19:40. > :19:43.tonight. Don't forget all the front pages are online and you can read a
:19:44. > :19:52.detailed review of the paper is seven days a week. You can see us
:19:53. > :19:58.thereto. Each episode is posted on the page shortly after and it is on
:19:59. > :20:06.the iPlayer. Amanda likes to work as hard. Peter from the FT and clear,
:20:07. > :20:19.enjoy your weekend. Next, it is the weather.
:20:20. > :20:25.Good evening. The weekend is approaching and we all have that
:20:26. > :20:28.Friday feeling. It has not been too bad a day and it has been dry, but
:20:29. > :20:29.there is a lot
