up isolation centres. A blue drama `` blue`collar drama | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
starring the late Philip Seymour Hoffman in the film review. | :00:07. | :00:17. | |
Welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing us | :00:18. | :00:24. | |
tomorrow. With me are the political commentator Jo Phillips and Nigel | :00:25. | :00:31. | |
Nelson. Let's get on with it. Let's start with the Sunday Telegraph. The | :00:32. | :00:36. | |
situation in Iraq dominates most of the front pages. The headline says, | :00:37. | :00:41. | |
save us from death. Obama vows to smash the militant in northern Iraq. | :00:42. | :00:47. | |
The Observer also highlights how minority communities are fleeing | :00:48. | :00:50. | |
from the Islamic State fighters. It points out that tradition aircraft | :00:51. | :00:55. | |
have joined the relief effort. A picture Baroness Warsi is on the | :00:56. | :01:00. | |
front page of the Independent. The former Tory Minister resigned over | :01:01. | :01:04. | |
Gaza. Now she is speaking out. The mail on Sunday claims that a UKIP | :01:05. | :01:10. | |
MEP is coaching candidates to emulate the public speaking | :01:11. | :01:13. | |
techniques of among others, Adolf Hitler. UK airport staff are set to | :01:14. | :01:21. | |
strike over fears they will be the first to catch the deadly Ebola | :01:22. | :01:26. | |
virus if it comes to the UK. Let's begin. Thank you very much for | :01:27. | :01:33. | |
being with us. Let's start with the horrible picture on the front page | :01:34. | :01:36. | |
of the Sunday Telegraph. A harrowing eyewitness account. The first | :01:37. | :01:43. | |
Western journalist to get into the mountains where the Yazidi Kurds are | :01:44. | :01:51. | |
stranded. Yes. Through his copy, you can see that he is quite angry about | :01:52. | :01:56. | |
it. He is on the frontline of what is going on. He makes the point | :01:57. | :02:04. | |
about Americans dropping aid from 15,000 feet. Without a parachute. It | :02:05. | :02:10. | |
then breaks open and is useless. The other point is that he makes in the | :02:11. | :02:16. | |
story, the aid delivered so far is not enough to stem the growing | :02:17. | :02:22. | |
humanitarian crisis. Journalism has changed hugely. In the old days, a | :02:23. | :02:27. | |
reporter in the field was the only one who experienced first`hand. Now | :02:28. | :02:33. | |
you get journalists back in the office in London, following the | :02:34. | :02:35. | |
whole thing on Twitter are in real time. He was telling me about ISIS, | :02:36. | :02:45. | |
one kilometre, two kilometres away. That was coming off Twitter. | :02:46. | :02:49. | |
Everybody is now involved in the journalistic community. ISIS are | :02:50. | :02:54. | |
very sophisticated on social media as well. Even the refugees, they | :02:55. | :03:01. | |
have been talking to Reuters on mobile phones, saying they have no | :03:02. | :03:05. | |
water, but they have mobile phones. It is very bizarre. There is | :03:06. | :03:14. | |
something absolutely pitiful and poignant that you can have a mobile | :03:15. | :03:18. | |
phone signal but you do not have any water, all in`off to it. | :03:19. | :03:24. | |
Helicopters, how ridiculous to just throw it out the window? The | :03:25. | :03:36. | |
temperatures of 50 Celsius. In terms of the diplomacy on that, we have | :03:37. | :03:41. | |
been hearing that the US has launched four more airstrikes to | :03:42. | :03:46. | |
defend civilians. It does not say where. But let's issue and it will | :03:47. | :03:50. | |
probably be here. Obama is saying that it is a long process. He has | :03:51. | :04:00. | |
hoisted himself slightly by getting out of the Dunmore, only to go back | :04:01. | :04:06. | |
in again. It will now be a long haul. It does not sound like they | :04:07. | :04:10. | |
have any sort of long`term plan. They either have to go in very hard | :04:11. | :04:19. | |
and make sure you do the job, because ISIS, or Islamic State, are | :04:20. | :04:25. | |
advancing very rapidly through Iraq, Syria and Lebanon on. At the same | :04:26. | :04:30. | |
time, there is not much about Gaza on the front page of the papers. I | :04:31. | :04:35. | |
think there will be a lot of people who will be looking at Obama and | :04:36. | :04:39. | |
David Cameron, and other leaders, saying that you are doing this here, | :04:40. | :04:45. | |
what have you been about Gaza? We have been hearing that today, | :04:46. | :04:51. | |
protesters in central London. They are demonstrating against Israel's | :04:52. | :04:57. | |
actions in Gaza. Some people call it hypocrisy. There is a fantastic | :04:58. | :05:02. | |
quote on the front page of the absorber. `` the Observer. From the | :05:03. | :05:12. | |
Archbishop of Irbil's Catholics. There are only 40 Christians left in | :05:13. | :05:22. | |
this area. It is so in printed into our memories of childhood and Bible | :05:23. | :05:30. | |
classes. He says, trust is broken. 2000 years, all these minorities | :05:31. | :05:33. | |
have lived there. Now they have to leave. It is quite interesting about | :05:34. | :05:40. | |
the timescale. What Obama is signalling, this is a much bigger | :05:41. | :05:46. | |
job than just refugees. They are hugely important. It back in the | :05:47. | :05:51. | |
situation, America wants regime change. They want the government to | :05:52. | :05:57. | |
stand down and a new one in its place. There is a lot of diplomacy | :05:58. | :06:03. | |
on the basis that we would not invade again. To get it sorted out. | :06:04. | :06:09. | |
At the moment, the absolute priority has to be those up to 150,000 | :06:10. | :06:16. | |
people, on that mountain. Let's look on the story on the front page of | :06:17. | :06:20. | |
the Observer, about care work is going on strike. The headline is not | :06:21. | :06:25. | |
particularly about the care workers. It is about a very rich | :06:26. | :06:30. | |
man, a private equity firm, buying up UK nursing homes and are | :06:31. | :06:34. | |
proposing, allegedly, to slash workers' wages. He is the managing | :06:35. | :06:42. | |
director of Bridgepoint capital. They have brought up Care UK, who | :06:43. | :06:47. | |
run quite a lot of care homes. This is a dispute that has been going on | :06:48. | :06:51. | |
for several weeks, among carers, who are having their wages cut. This is | :06:52. | :07:01. | |
a bigger story, for many reasons. If you pay people appalling wages for a | :07:02. | :07:05. | |
job that every single politician says is the most important, and we | :07:06. | :07:12. | |
want to treat the elderly with respect, what about treating the | :07:13. | :07:17. | |
workers who do the job with respect? All sorts of questions about | :07:18. | :07:21. | |
privatisation of healthcare services, questions about the | :07:22. | :07:28. | |
profits that are made. Inside the Observer, a former editor, he has | :07:29. | :07:34. | |
written a really good think piece about the state of capitalism. It is | :07:35. | :07:39. | |
not tell you anything that you would not expect the Observer to say... | :07:40. | :07:44. | |
But what it does talk about, which I think is quite interesting, about | :07:45. | :07:53. | |
trade unionists. We have all got mixed views about trade unions. They | :07:54. | :08:02. | |
have been lambasted quite often. But when you look at people in this | :08:03. | :08:06. | |
very, very low paid, low prospect, low skill set. You see what unions | :08:07. | :08:12. | |
are for. That is another side to the story. There are a some instances | :08:13. | :08:18. | |
where the day can run industries more efficiently than the dull, but | :08:19. | :08:23. | |
this is talking about paying the people who work a decent living. | :08:24. | :08:28. | |
There is always going to be a pragmatism. The money is not | :08:29. | :08:32. | |
therefore the day to pay for everything, but there is a balance. | :08:33. | :08:42. | |
Let's have a look at the Sunday express. Page two. Will be a level | :08:43. | :08:55. | |
purchase the results collapse? `` purge. Will it be reflected by a dip | :08:56. | :09:09. | |
in grades? A fascinating story. I have a youngster who is in the | :09:10. | :09:15. | |
middle of all of this. So I am kind of living with it. The issue, | :09:16. | :09:21. | |
Michael Gove was absolutely right, that you cannot have grades | :09:22. | :09:25. | |
constantly going up so you could not distinguish who really was a | :09:26. | :09:29. | |
top`class student, and who wasn't. He has made the whole thing a bit | :09:30. | :09:34. | |
more difficult. So there will be a greater spread. What the story seems | :09:35. | :09:38. | |
to suggest, the universities are decrying that. If you do not get | :09:39. | :09:46. | |
three a stars, you do not get the university of your choice. But there | :09:47. | :09:50. | |
will be plenty through the clearing system who will be able to find a | :09:51. | :09:55. | |
course elsewhere. But if Michael Gove has left the Department of | :09:56. | :09:58. | |
education with a mismatch between the universities and the grades that | :09:59. | :10:03. | |
people get, they will be a problem. We will find out next week when the | :10:04. | :10:10. | |
results come out. Because there is such competition for places, if | :10:11. | :10:15. | |
universities are still asking for a triple star, or whatever, and very | :10:16. | :10:20. | |
few people get it, then those places will have to be field. That is the | :10:21. | :10:26. | |
point. It may well be that there will still be enough places, but | :10:27. | :10:30. | |
your first choice, if you do not get the grades, you do not get back. To | :10:31. | :10:37. | |
complicate things slightly, you have got the International baccalaureate | :10:38. | :10:42. | |
coming in. Also Cambridge preuniversity qualifications. They | :10:43. | :10:46. | |
are also in the mix. Students will be getting courses based on those | :10:47. | :10:49. | |
two as well as the grades coming up. What are your children's grades | :10:50. | :10:59. | |
expecting? He tells me that he would do terribly well. We will see. Let's | :11:00. | :11:06. | |
go to the Mail on Sunday. A big headline. UKIP tells its youth wing, | :11:07. | :11:17. | |
copy Hitler. Really? I know. This is in the Mail. He is facing a storm of | :11:18. | :11:28. | |
protest. At one point, he was involved with the Conservatives. He | :11:29. | :11:38. | |
is an MEP. He has been training one of the UKIP members who are standing | :11:39. | :11:44. | |
`` thinking of standing in Parliamentary elections. He is | :11:45. | :11:50. | |
giving advice on how to be better orators. He says that they should | :11:51. | :11:55. | |
take tips from a hateful figure who achieved a great deal. He talks | :11:56. | :12:00. | |
about Hitler being a magnetic and forceful public speaker. To be | :12:01. | :12:09. | |
fair... We must be fair. He said, this is the performance. It was very | :12:10. | :12:16. | |
much about the techniques of it. There is a statement that the Mail | :12:17. | :12:21. | |
has given us. It says: I was talking about a whole range of public | :12:22. | :12:24. | |
speakers. I also mentioned Tony Blair. At no point did I endorse | :12:25. | :12:32. | |
Hitler or anybody else. We were only discussing public speaking. Hitler | :12:33. | :12:36. | |
and the Nazis were monsters and I am angry that I'm being asked questions | :12:37. | :12:39. | |
about whether we would wish to be linked with them. Yet another cheap | :12:40. | :12:45. | |
shot to deal with from the media. That is going to sell copies. It is | :12:46. | :12:51. | |
the one bit of fun in the papers. Fun? Wow. What have we come to. He | :12:52. | :13:01. | |
also named Mussolini. An awful lot of politicians to talk about the way | :13:02. | :13:05. | |
that Hitler actually spoke. It was an extraordinary performance. | :13:06. | :13:18. | |
That is it for the papers. Coming up next it is the Film Review. | :13:19. | :13:48. | |
Hello and welcome to the programme. Joining me is Jason Solomons. | :13:49. | :13:49. |
