200 metres. We will have a report from the oval, where England's | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
bowlers got the fifth Test off to a good start. Axing 15 minutes. `` | :00:00. | :00:10. | |
that in. Hello and welcome to our look ahead | :00:11. | :00:19. | |
to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. With me are Kevin | :00:20. | :00:22. | |
Schofield, Chief Political Correspondent at the Sun, and the | :00:23. | :00:25. | |
broadcaster and author Dreda Say Mitchell. Tomorrow's front pages. | :00:26. | :00:32. | |
The Financial Times says the Ukraine has destroyed part of a Russian | :00:33. | :00:35. | |
armoured column which had reportedly crossed into its territory. | :00:36. | :00:40. | |
The Independent has a striking image of a woman and her sick husband at | :00:41. | :00:45. | |
an Ebola ward in Liberia. The Daily Mail has an interview with | :00:46. | :00:49. | |
the wife of a man beaten by masked burglars in his London home. | :00:50. | :00:57. | |
'Police defend televised raid on Sir Cliff', is the headline on the front | :00:58. | :01:01. | |
of the Telegraph. The Mirror also has more on the decision to search a | :01:02. | :01:04. | |
house belonging to Sir Cliff as well as allegations that I.S militants | :01:05. | :01:07. | |
are hacking into celebrity bank accounts. | :01:08. | :01:08. | |
The Guardian claims a report surrounding the horsemeat scandal | :01:09. | :01:11. | |
has been shelved until at least the autumn. | :01:12. | :01:14. | |
The Times reports that America is considering airstrikes around | :01:15. | :01:16. | |
Baghdad to protect Iraq's new leadership from the threat of | :01:17. | :01:23. | |
Islamic militants. And the Herald pictures a triumphant Team Scotland | :01:24. | :01:25. | |
showcasing their Commonwealth medals at a parade in Glasgow. Good | :01:26. | :01:33. | |
evening. Two stories dominating the front pages tomorrow. One of them is | :01:34. | :01:43. | |
on Sir Cliff Richard. Police say more witnesses have come forward | :01:44. | :01:47. | |
over the allegations that he strenuously denies. He says he will | :01:48. | :01:52. | |
co`operate with the police investigation. They also say 10,000 | :01:53. | :01:59. | |
fans have sent messages of support to him. The Times, an interesting | :02:00. | :02:09. | |
take on developments in Baghdad. What are the details? It seems like | :02:10. | :02:16. | |
we are facing a new phase of the crisis. An Admiral of the US Navy | :02:17. | :02:23. | |
has revealed that President Obama has given the go`ahead for US | :02:24. | :02:35. | |
military to step in, if Islamic State enter Baghdad, primarily to | :02:36. | :02:38. | |
protect American personnel but clearly Baghdad would be a key | :02:39. | :02:45. | |
victory for the Islamic State and if they were to cease Baghdad we would | :02:46. | :02:50. | |
be entering a whole new phase of the crisis. Interesting because it says | :02:51. | :02:55. | |
a former senior official at the Pentagon has warned that air power | :02:56. | :03:01. | |
alone isn't enough to secure Iraq. President Obama is placing a lot of | :03:02. | :03:03. | |
responsibility on the Iraqi government. He should all stop but, | :03:04. | :03:11. | |
as I said earlier, this country has been in crisis for a long time. `` | :03:12. | :03:18. | |
he should. But, as I said earlier, this country has been in crisis for | :03:19. | :03:22. | |
a long time. If you have a country where the leadership isn't holding | :03:23. | :03:26. | |
itself together, that isn't able to protect its citizens and leaders | :03:27. | :03:31. | |
have been saying for a long time that effort `` ethnically they are | :03:32. | :03:35. | |
very different, maybe there is an opportunity to do this. Maybe this | :03:36. | :03:39. | |
is a question people have to start grappling with because they should | :03:40. | :03:44. | |
be able to protect themselves. How do you feel about the fact that EU | :03:45. | :03:54. | |
member states can now on the Kurds? But you don't want more confusion. I | :03:55. | :03:57. | |
think people have to fill... If the Kurds have arms, they feel they | :03:58. | :04:02. | |
might use this to start their own state, so people have to be clear | :04:03. | :04:07. | |
what the possibilities actually for the future. I think the whole | :04:08. | :04:13. | |
question is of self`determination. Do you think people, especially in | :04:14. | :04:20. | |
Britain and also America, are worried about being drawn into | :04:21. | :04:25. | |
another conflict? Definitely. We saw that this time last year and its `` | :04:26. | :04:32. | |
with Syria. We actually did a poll this week for the Sun. There is much | :04:33. | :04:39. | |
more support for military action in Iraq this time than there was in | :04:40. | :04:44. | |
Syria last year, as a way of defeating the Islamic State. But, as | :04:45. | :04:49. | |
a country, we are still just getting out of Afghanistan, there's no great | :04:50. | :04:57. | |
appetite for military action. But in this specific case, I think the | :04:58. | :05:03. | |
government wouldn't have to try too hard to sell it to the public, if it | :05:04. | :05:07. | |
was sold on the basis that we are trying to stop maniacs from killing | :05:08. | :05:14. | |
innocent people. Another issue that many people are concerned about is | :05:15. | :05:18. | |
Ebola. Harrowing picture on the front page of the Independent. Can | :05:19. | :05:26. | |
you describe it? It's one story that tells hundreds. It is. It's shocking | :05:27. | :05:32. | |
in terms of the colour. It looks so bleak. You've got a couple, the | :05:33. | :05:39. | |
husband on the floor. You just wonder where the medical staff. The | :05:40. | :05:44. | |
wife is just holding her head. What this picture really gives is a sense | :05:45. | :05:48. | |
of helplessness. Who is going to help us out of this? That the big | :05:49. | :05:52. | |
question. Is the outside world going to take this seriously enough to | :05:53. | :05:56. | |
actually getting there and helping people? It doesn't get... This is | :05:57. | :06:03. | |
really bleak. Really bleak stuff. To me, that's enough for us to think we | :06:04. | :06:07. | |
need to go in there and get something sorted out. What's | :06:08. | :06:11. | |
especially terrifying about Ebola is there's no cure. It's so fast | :06:12. | :06:16. | |
moving. It's relatively easy to catch. Once you've got it, there's a | :06:17. | :06:23. | |
90% chance you will die. Terrifying. At the moment it is contained in | :06:24. | :06:34. | |
Africa. As a disease it's been around for a long time, it hasn't | :06:35. | :06:38. | |
just sprung up, but there's obviously some kind of progression | :06:39. | :06:41. | |
that happened with this disease and that's why it needs to be taken very | :06:42. | :06:48. | |
seriously. I spoke to a gentleman who has dealt with three Ebola | :06:49. | :06:52. | |
outbreaks. Two in the 70s, one in the 90s. He said the only way to | :06:53. | :06:57. | |
stop the spread of this is by getting into the clinics, getting | :06:58. | :07:02. | |
into the hospitals, sanitising them and getting the staff to have strict | :07:03. | :07:06. | |
regulations. I think a lot of the problem is where this is. These are | :07:07. | :07:09. | |
countries that don't have these resources. It seems to be getting | :07:10. | :07:15. | |
out of control. They say six months to get it contained. That's a long | :07:16. | :07:21. | |
time, a lot of people who will be lost in that time. Absolutely. If | :07:22. | :07:26. | |
it's about sanitisation, there's not that much to do really. It's not | :07:27. | :07:31. | |
like there are bigger things that maybe you have to do. If it's that | :07:32. | :07:35. | |
type of level, that should be easy to do. At it is quite a large area. | :07:36. | :07:42. | |
But, still, that's basic medical treatment. Ukraine continues to | :07:43. | :07:53. | |
dominate as well. The Guardian has donated much of its front page to | :07:54. | :07:57. | |
claims from Ukraine that it has destroyed Russian military | :07:58. | :08:02. | |
vehicles. Conflicting reports from all sides about what's going on. The | :08:03. | :08:12. | |
ongoing crisis in Gaza and Iraq have almost taken the world's attention | :08:13. | :08:16. | |
away. But the situation there is obviously not getting any better. | :08:17. | :08:22. | |
Ukraine claim they have destroyed vehicles moving into Ukraine, from | :08:23. | :08:32. | |
Russia. Russia says that's not true. You just get this sense that this is | :08:33. | :08:39. | |
not something that has a solution on the near horizon. Two or three weeks | :08:40. | :08:46. | |
ago it was all we were talking about. Ukraine and Russia. But we | :08:47. | :08:53. | |
have taken our eyes off the ball a bit. When you say that, giving | :08:54. | :09:00. | |
journalists, the media? Or do you think governments? Political leaders | :09:01. | :09:07. | |
have imposed sanctions on Russia. They've retaliated I banning some | :09:08. | :09:16. | |
stuff from the West. `` by banning. It doesn't look like Putin is going | :09:17. | :09:19. | |
to back down. He isn't that type of character. Perhaps more sanctions, | :09:20. | :09:33. | |
targeting those closest to Putin, the oligarchs. I think something | :09:34. | :09:36. | |
needs to be done because clearly it's not getting any better. I know | :09:37. | :09:40. | |
this is something you feel strongly about. There is a humanitarian | :09:41. | :09:44. | |
situation as well. It does need`year`old. It absolutely does, | :09:45. | :09:48. | |
whether that's from Russia or whatever. `` need aid. I think is | :09:49. | :09:56. | |
humanitarian so`called convoys seem to `` provocative. Look at the | :09:57. | :10:00. | |
conflict around the world, you are right, the gaze went off this but | :10:01. | :10:05. | |
there is so much conflict going on around the world. We have to step | :10:06. | :10:09. | |
could ask ourselves as human beings, what are we doing? It does seem like | :10:10. | :10:15. | |
the world is in crisis. And the people who pay the price our | :10:16. | :10:18. | |
children and people who have nothing to do with these conflicts. Your | :10:19. | :10:22. | |
paper brings an issue much closer to home, on page four. Foreign language | :10:23. | :10:30. | |
is the headline. Tell us about this. The Sun has been doing some | :10:31. | :10:36. | |
research. In the last year, prisons spent ?1 million on interpreters for | :10:37. | :10:42. | |
foreign prisoners. That's a lot of money at a time when we are having | :10:43. | :10:47. | |
to make cuts to bring the deficit down. I can see why people would be | :10:48. | :10:56. | |
up in arms about this. Personally, if I was in a country where I | :10:57. | :10:59. | |
couldn't speak the language and I got arrested, I hope there would be | :11:00. | :11:01. | |
an interpreter for me. But the bigger picture is that the | :11:02. | :11:06. | |
government is struggling to deport foreign prisoners who basically are | :11:07. | :11:10. | |
at the end of their sentences. There is a rise in the population? Yes. | :11:11. | :11:16. | |
Because, for whatever reason, they are still there, which is adding to | :11:17. | :11:23. | |
the issue of interpreters. Strangely, there is a huge | :11:24. | :11:30. | |
disparity. Some prisons spent ?200,000, others only ?5,000. The | :11:31. | :11:38. | |
question is why some prisons... Clearly they have more foreign | :11:39. | :11:41. | |
prisoners and need more translators. Moving on. Going back to the Times. | :11:42. | :11:56. | |
This is interesting. Page six. Scots independence a bad idea, coming from | :11:57. | :12:00. | |
the Australian Prime Minister. Were you going to talk about this? I just | :12:01. | :12:06. | |
hope Tony Abbott isn't on Twitter because if he is he will wake up | :12:07. | :12:13. | |
tomorrow morning to a deluge of abuse from enthusiastic, shall we | :12:14. | :12:18. | |
say, supporters of independence in Scotland. But he has been asked for | :12:19. | :12:25. | |
his views. It is the first time we have heard from a foreign leader on | :12:26. | :12:31. | |
this. Barack Obama was asked at a press conference that he sought back | :12:32. | :12:34. | |
to the union. But this is the most outspoken by far. He is basically | :12:35. | :12:38. | |
saying Scottish independence would be a threat to international order. | :12:39. | :12:43. | |
It would be a blow for the friends of freedom, as he says. It is | :12:44. | :12:58. | |
pretty... Kind of over blown. Is known for being outspoken. I don't | :12:59. | :13:02. | |
see these comments going down very well. Rowe I understand why people | :13:03. | :13:09. | |
might want to think about it. `` I understand. Do you find yourself | :13:10. | :13:12. | |
engaged in what's going on in Scotland? I think about nationalism | :13:13. | :13:22. | |
and why people need to all of a sudden tie themselves to their flag | :13:23. | :13:25. | |
and really separate themselves from other people in a union. It is | :13:26. | :13:31. | |
interesting in history when those things happen. When the UK was | :13:32. | :13:36. | |
created, the Scots became Scottish, the Welsh became more Welsh and in | :13:37. | :13:41. | |
which became more English. That make sense. You do step back when you | :13:42. | :13:45. | |
have this moment and think about your identity. Issues about | :13:46. | :13:49. | |
ethnicity, what defines me in terms of culture, what defines me in terms | :13:50. | :13:53. | |
of language. That's what's very interesting. | :13:54. | :14:09. | |
It's got people here interested. It has captured the imagination because | :14:10. | :14:17. | |
it is a seismic event . It is a once in a lifetime | :14:18. | :14:31. | |
opportunity to get independence. It is permanent. You can change your | :14:32. | :14:35. | |
mind in five years in the general election. `` can't. It's good to | :14:36. | :14:43. | |
hear people talking about the future. It is good we got something | :14:44. | :14:49. | |
out of you in the end. I wasn't going to let you off. Thank you for | :14:50. | :14:53. | |
