explosions. Action heroes take to the big screen. Plus, all of this | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
week's other top releases. Hello and welcome to our look ahead | :00:00. | :00:20. | |
to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. With me are Tim | :00:21. | :00:25. | |
Montgomerie from the Times and James Millar from the Sunday Post. | :00:26. | :00:30. | |
Tomorrow's front pages. The Financial Times claims many global | :00:31. | :00:33. | |
banks may no longer be able to count on the support of the US Federal | :00:34. | :00:40. | |
Reserve if they get into trouble. The Telegraph carries an interview | :00:41. | :00:43. | |
with the Defence Secretary Michael Fallon, in which he says British | :00:44. | :00:45. | |
fighter planes and surveillance aircraft are being used in the fight | :00:46. | :00:48. | |
against the Islamic State fighters in Iraq. | :00:49. | :00:52. | |
The Guardian also leads on that story. Below a picture of Britain's | :00:53. | :01:03. | |
successful 4x100 metre women's relay squad. The Metro has the latest on | :01:04. | :01:06. | |
the group of Afghan Sikhs found inside a shipping container in | :01:07. | :01:09. | |
Tilbury Docks. The paper calls it a "metal coffin". | :01:10. | :01:13. | |
The Express says the Prime Minister will announce the creation of | :01:14. | :01:15. | |
specialist welfare teams designed to target what it calls "Britain's | :01:16. | :01:18. | |
worst families". The Times leads on British | :01:19. | :01:20. | |
intervention in Iraq and also claims that an independent Scotland could | :01:21. | :01:26. | |
ditch the monarchy. The Mail warns that Britain is being | :01:27. | :01:29. | |
dragged deeper into the conflict in Iraq. The Mirror reports from what | :01:30. | :01:36. | |
it calls the "hell" of a clinic, dealing with Ebola sufferers in | :01:37. | :01:46. | |
Liberia. Plenty to choose from. Let's start with the Mail. The | :01:47. | :01:50. | |
headline, Britain dragged deeper into Iraq conflict. Do you want to | :01:51. | :01:56. | |
start with this, James? Interesting headline. Being dragged in is an | :01:57. | :02:14. | |
interesting way of phrasing that. The Mail obviously believes we are | :02:15. | :02:21. | |
being cautious about what we do in Iraq. There's all this talk about an | :02:22. | :02:26. | |
extended mission. But no clear word on what that mission is and how far | :02:27. | :02:32. | |
we are going to end up owing. And talk about this being weeks and not | :02:33. | :02:38. | |
months? Yes. I wonder whether it will be more than that. My | :02:39. | :02:43. | |
understanding is that David Cameron does want to intervene to tackle | :02:44. | :02:47. | |
ISIS, not just to deal with the immediate humanitarian crisis, which | :02:48. | :02:51. | |
is why the Mail is unhappy. It wants a limited intervention, just to | :02:52. | :02:56. | |
focus on the plight of the Yazidi people on the mountaintop. The Prime | :02:57. | :03:01. | |
Minister believes this Islamic State controls so much territory now, has | :03:02. | :03:04. | |
so much money, is so sophisticated in its techniques, we don't tackle | :03:05. | :03:11. | |
it now, before it gets even more power and influence, it will cause | :03:12. | :03:15. | |
problems not just in the region but potentially threaten us. He doesn't | :03:16. | :03:19. | |
want to get too far ahead of public opinion. That the angle taken by a | :03:20. | :03:24. | |
lot of papers. Interesting, the word "dragged". The Mail sorry to be are | :03:25. | :03:32. | |
being dragged in and the Prime Minister is actually wanting us to | :03:33. | :03:36. | |
be more and more involved. But he may get some resistance from the | :03:37. | :03:42. | |
Mail if he does go that way. Over to the Times. A story about Scotland. | :03:43. | :03:47. | |
This should definitely go to you, Tim. An independent Scotland could | :03:48. | :03:55. | |
lose the royal family. There is a rather difficult quote from the | :03:56. | :04:03. | |
director of global policy institute. They will go for a republican system | :04:04. | :04:08. | |
within the EU, the paper says. Is an interesting one. It's not | :04:09. | :04:15. | |
desperately new, as it points out. The justice secretary raised the | :04:16. | :04:17. | |
prospect this year of a referendum on elected state. That was in the | :04:18. | :04:28. | |
Sunday Post. Slightly stronger than words from the director of the | :04:29. | :04:32. | |
policy institute. Not quite sure why they have given this quite so much | :04:33. | :04:38. | |
of the show, other than perhaps because there is the argument in the | :04:39. | :04:42. | |
Scottish independence referendum, that continue to be kicked around, | :04:43. | :04:50. | |
and there aren't many new arguments. I can see the newsdesk thinking it's | :04:51. | :04:55. | |
a Scottish independence stories they will whack it on the front page. I'm | :04:56. | :05:01. | |
not sure whether I'm allowed to say this but I am bored about the | :05:02. | :05:05. | |
independence debate. We've had all of the arguments rehearsed. Perhaps | :05:06. | :05:10. | |
if it was close, it was going to be a close run thing, it might be poor | :05:11. | :05:13. | |
exciting. But all of the opinion polls since just `` seem to suggest | :05:14. | :05:19. | |
that the union cause, the no vote, is gaining support. Not some of the | :05:20. | :05:25. | |
papers in Scotland. The polls... The average does seem to suggest a no | :05:26. | :05:32. | |
vote. Some show it closer. But this is obviously a story to try to take | :05:33. | :05:36. | |
the debate into new territory. But I say God save the Queen and hopefully | :05:37. | :05:39. | |
we will have the Queen for much longer! It does save the Queen is | :05:40. | :05:48. | |
known to be strongly prounion. If you need to state that in a news | :05:49. | :05:55. | |
story... And Scottish Nationalists are split on the monarchy. The yes | :05:56. | :06:00. | |
camp is undoubtedly split on this. Alex Salmond says it will keep the | :06:01. | :06:06. | |
monarchy. But there are many in the broader yes movement who are opposed | :06:07. | :06:13. | |
to that decision. Going back to the Daily Express. Welfare squads target | :06:14. | :06:19. | |
problem families. Who would have thought this. They say more than | :06:20. | :06:25. | |
500,000 households in the UK are effectively costing so much in terms | :06:26. | :06:28. | |
of benefits and problems, the paper says, had initially there were | :06:29. | :06:34. | |
120,000 problem families. The latest initiative would target a for the `` | :06:35. | :06:40. | |
a further 400,000. That seems a very wide reaching number of people. It | :06:41. | :06:46. | |
was about three years ago that we had the London riots. This was an | :06:47. | :06:50. | |
initiative that followed those riots. One of the civil servants in | :06:51. | :06:56. | |
Whitehall was given the responsibility of tackling this. | :06:57. | :07:01. | |
What we discovered in those riots was a small number of families | :07:02. | :07:04. | |
seemed to be the cause of an awful lot of the social disorder, not only | :07:05. | :07:08. | |
that we saw on London streets be generally. The Sunday times story | :07:09. | :07:14. | |
today, that the Express is following up, some families were calling out | :07:15. | :07:18. | |
the police two or three times a week. Someone visiting GPs multiple | :07:19. | :07:24. | |
every month. The burden of these families on our welfare services has | :07:25. | :07:29. | |
been so great. This is an initiative really that the said also that his | :07:30. | :07:37. | |
running `` that is being run to ensure that one person is | :07:38. | :07:40. | |
responsible for their problems and to try to co`ordinate help for them. | :07:41. | :07:44. | |
This is a really good example of government intervention working and | :07:45. | :07:47. | |
tackling the serious social problem. Are you convinced? This is | :07:48. | :07:55. | |
a Tory government intervening in families. David Cameron and the | :07:56. | :07:59. | |
Tories like to see families as the building blocks of society. But they | :08:00. | :08:03. | |
are also supposed to be about nonintervention. This is intervening | :08:04. | :08:11. | |
in a very conservative way. But the Conservatives aren't libertarians. | :08:12. | :08:15. | |
Some believe they are against government completely. Every | :08:16. | :08:18. | |
Conservative government spent a lot of money on the state. Social | :08:19. | :08:21. | |
services. This is about ensuring that money is spent not picking up | :08:22. | :08:25. | |
pieces of the families and communities have fallen apart, but | :08:26. | :08:28. | |
spending it earlier to keep families together. The reason the Express | :08:29. | :08:35. | |
talks about this is the Prime Minister is going to give a big | :08:36. | :08:40. | |
speech on the family tomorrow. I think he will probably be | :08:41. | :08:43. | |
disappointed that it is only the Express that has it on the front | :08:44. | :08:52. | |
page. Iraq is of course dominating the news and wiping everything else | :08:53. | :08:56. | |
of the page. Even what we believe is going to be in it, that's why we `` | :08:57. | :09:05. | |
they chose not to cover it. Off to the Independent. The headline, | :09:06. | :09:09. | |
struggling hospitals in denial of a poor care. This in an interview with | :09:10. | :09:15. | |
a professor, who is effectively saying as chief inspector of | :09:16. | :09:22. | |
hospitals that are hard core of struggling hospitals are in denial | :09:23. | :09:25. | |
about quality of care. Very worrying. I am always the first to | :09:26. | :09:32. | |
knock story that aren't worth a front page. I think this is a good | :09:33. | :09:36. | |
exclusive. The professor is a serious name, a serious player, | :09:37. | :09:41. | |
given the stuff that went on at Mid Staffordshire hospital and various | :09:42. | :09:47. | |
other hospitals. It is very worrying. They don't seem to be | :09:48. | :09:58. | |
learning their lessons. The latest in a series of rather scary NHS | :09:59. | :10:03. | |
health stories. Yes. We don't seem to be seeing what I think the | :10:04. | :10:07. | |
government certainly wanted, that when we have these bad stories we | :10:08. | :10:13. | |
will get some of the worst hospitals beginning to emulate the better | :10:14. | :10:17. | |
hospitals. In the NHS theirs and `` there's enormous diversity. But we | :10:18. | :10:22. | |
also have some of the worst hospitals, as well as the best. This | :10:23. | :10:28. | |
inspectorate, alongside transparency, where we get | :10:29. | :10:32. | |
statistics from hospitals on how they are performing, in terms of | :10:33. | :10:35. | |
treating cancer or death rates, that allows us to at least understand | :10:36. | :10:40. | |
which hospitals are falling behind and which perhaps need emergency | :10:41. | :10:45. | |
intervention. Of course it goes on that always grab the headlines. OK. | :10:46. | :10:49. | |
Daily Telegraph. House prices. The Daily Telegraph reports a sharp fall | :10:50. | :11:02. | |
in house prices, apparently. It's a crazy market. We've had all these | :11:03. | :11:06. | |
stories from the last couple of years, which I haven't really | :11:07. | :11:11. | |
understood, of booming house prices. Some London boroughs going up by | :11:12. | :11:16. | |
20%. This seems to be some kind of correction to that. I think it | :11:17. | :11:19. | |
probably was too much froth in the market. But it's not great for the | :11:20. | :11:23. | |
Conservatives in a way, the head of an election. If people think the | :11:24. | :11:27. | |
house prices are falling, and potentially we have interest rates | :11:28. | :11:31. | |
on the way up at the end of this year, early next year, it is not an | :11:32. | :11:35. | |
ideal mix. Of course for people trying to get on the housing ladder, | :11:36. | :11:39. | |
it's good news. But young people don't vote in the same number as | :11:40. | :11:43. | |
homeowners. So, we have a bit of a problem. Bad news for government? | :11:44. | :11:50. | |
Basically, this is good for the country, good for people because | :11:51. | :11:56. | |
they need to be able to afford to buy houses in that sense that if | :11:57. | :11:59. | |
you've already got a house you don't want to think that your net wealth | :12:00. | :12:04. | |
is decreasing. That will affect how you vote at the ballot box, | :12:05. | :12:09. | |
hopefully. This is optimism, the last story in the Guardian. | :12:10. | :12:20. | |
Britain's women's 4x100 team celebrating. I don't know how often | :12:21. | :12:23. | |
picture editors have three victories to choose from. The cricket, the | :12:24. | :12:29. | |
athletics and the women's rugby. Interesting that the Guardian has | :12:30. | :12:36. | |
gone for the athletics, which is possibly the least significant. But | :12:37. | :12:42. | |
perhaps it is the most sustained success. Have you been following any | :12:43. | :12:47. | |
of these? It's a great moment for women's sport, especially in the | :12:48. | :12:53. | |
rugby. We have the Times, the Telegraph and the Express, all with | :12:54. | :12:58. | |
pictures of women in sport. Great to see it properly applauded and | :12:59. | :13:05. | |
recognised. Thank you very much, Tim and James. That's it for the sour. | :13:06. | :13:11. | |
Stay with us on BBC News. Peshmerga fighters have been closing in on a | :13:12. | :13:18. | |
