21/08/2014 The Papers

Hello. This is BBC News. We'll be taking a look at tomorrow mornings

papers in a moment. First the headlines: The search for the

identity of the man who beheaded journalist James Foley is on as

British intelligence agencies try to track him down. It's believed that

three UK men are amongst those holding foreigners in Syria. ?80

millions for his release ` that's the ransom Islamic State militants

demanded for James Foley's freedom. The US says they post a long`term

threat. We should expect ice is to regroup and stage more offences. The

US military involvement is not over. Tests are being carried out on the

body of a man in Ireland who died after developing Ebola like

symptoms. He recently returned from a visit to Africa. In America, a

doctor and an aid worker who contracted Ebola in Liberia have

recovered after being treated with an experimental drug. Here, GCSE

results show an overall rise in pupils getting the top grades `

Maths in particular sees a marked upturn. But English results dip `

after changes to the exam system. We will have the latest on allegations

surrounding mall can make a and Ian Moody. England have qualified for

the women's World Cup final in Canada after beating Wales 4`0. The

IPC athletics and aquatics championships. That is all on

Sportsday. Hello and welcome to our look ahead

to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. With me are the

broadcaster Jennie Bond and the political journalist Rob Merrick.

Thank you both for coming in this evening. Let's have a quick look at

some of the front pages. Like it's English counterpart the Scottish

Daily Mail leads with comments by fellow hostage ` Didier Francois `

who was released earlier this year. He says he "roughly" recognises the

man behind the beheading as someone they would call "John". The Daily

Telegraph says the net is closing in on the Jihadist who killed Foley, `

with the SAS on standby. The Times says twice as many British Muslims

have joined the fight in Syria compared to joining the British

different lead ` the Bank of different lead ` the Bank of

America's record settlement of $17 billion ` dominates their front

pages. It's as a result of the misselling of toxic mortgages that

led to the banking crisis of 2008Back on the murder of James

Foley in the Guardian ` that leads with a call from MPs to toughen

domestic laws on extremism. The Scotsman has a rallying call from

Scottish First Minister Alex Salmond at the last Holyrood session before

the referendum. And finally, the Sun leads with an image of former

footballer Paul Gascoigne and his ongoing problems with alcohol. Let's

begin. We will start this hour with the Daily Mail and the headline,

sadistic reign of jihadi. James Foley, we have been featuring the

story. This story dominating so many papers. They are all taking a

slightly different angles on it. This is the most interesting, to my

mind. It is the most actual or stop they have talked to former captives

held alongside Mr Foley and the image one gets of this chap called

John, I should not call him a chap, this monster. We are learning he

beat up James Foley and the others. Mr Foley was forced to stand in a

crucifix pose against the wall. This jihadi John probably spoke to Mr

Foley's parents via Skype which really is chilling. The more you

learn about the time in captivity, the worst it seems to be. This is

definitely the best. We can agree on that. Hostages are reluctant to go

on the record but clearly, the Daily Mail have spoken to former hostages

and it has given it its power. We know James Foley received

distressing e`mails not long before the act. It is interesting, they are

concentrating less on who we use, the ID which has been fascinating

much of the media. And it is not just him. There are other Brits

there. It is believed that the narrator, was not actually the

killer. I have not seen the video but... It is not clear the narrator,

as he is called, it is the killer. The Times have a different angle.

Hundreds more UK Muslims choose jihad over the UK army. If that is

accurate, then it is devastating. We just thought it was confusing,

bizarre, perplexing. Why on earth they want to have this headline is

not clear. Is it the shock value? It is sinister. What are they trying to

say about Muslims who do not join the Army? I have not join the army.

We would not quite clear what they were trying to say. The figures are

quite tiny as well. 220 Muslim joined the army and twice as many

have travelled to Syria and Iraq. Its value is lessened by the facts.

We were talking about an hour ago about the different angles. The

shock of this story seems to dominate. The hunt is on. You can

see that the newspapers will continue on this hunt for John, just

like the security services. That is the number one aim. That will happen

at some time. With Facebook and social media, surely his name will

come out. Somebody in Britain will know who we are is. Downing Street

is not just about jihadi John. There are 500 Britons out there. For them

it is the bulk of the people out there rather than just one

individual. Let's go on to domestic use. Staying with The Times, fears

overvalued medics trained for two years. The first paragraph: patients

will be treated by less qualified dog is. The government plans to

relieve pressure on the NHS. `` doctors. The papers are full of

scare stories. If I was confronted by someone clearly less qualified, I

would feel like a second`class it is an stop however, there is a lot of

Administration work that could be done. Admitting and discharging, the

ordering of tests. That could regard by someone with limited experience.

And deciding on treatment? It seems to go a bit too far there. I wonder

if I should draw the parallel with police. We get different systems.

Teaching for example. Most people would agree they are very valuable.

50 years it has been going on in the States. It does not seem to have

been any great crisis. Later on in the story, the treaty should medical

Association is cautious about the change. They say it could be useful

if done properly. It sounds to me they could at least see the merit of

the story. Don't tell me cost will come into it, surely not! Today has

been G CSC discovery Day. What is different this year is the fact

there is a new secretary, a new minister in charge of education. ``

G CSC. The results are a direct result of what Michael Gove

implemented when he was there. His legacy, boys are falling behind

girls. Basically, because the method of examining people has changed, it

has become more rigourous, the greater fall, particularly in

English. Some people would dispute that. There has been less course

work and left attributed to it. `` less. That loading towards the end

of an exam does suit some are not others. Supporters would say that

life is a bit like that. There was always going to be this debate.

Intelligence, achievement, through assessment all by some hot housing

where we know some people will not perform. The debate will go on. For

the children who got worst results today, it is devastating. I know

some head teachers were saying they were shocked by them. They have an

example who got ten and then suddenly they go down to a D or an E

in English. Some things seem to have gone wrong. Can we not just

concentrate on educating our children instead of examining them

from three years old. It has two stop! Plans afoot. On to the

Scotsman. We will not go with the go out and win message for Alex

Salmond. Instead it is Ebola alert in Ireland after a man dies.

Obviously, a great deal of concern it might have reached the shores of

Ireland. This is a real scare story. This is frightening. Cannot imagine

why this is not all over the papers. It says the chances are fairly

remote. Extremely low, it says. Of it being passed on. A person would

have to have very close contact. Clearly, this guy came back on a

plane and that is pretty close contact. It is terrifying. I was

surprised not to see it in more papers. Scotland is closer to

Ireland and maybe that brings it closer to home. The transmission is

extremely low. But getting in contact with the people that were

close to this person is clearly important. It is all about the panic

stopping it coming back here. Tracing people who have been in

contact could stop the spread. I fear that these last two stories

will bring out the bad in Jenny. You are not quite sure of this is true?

I could not believe that food bills tumble. Absolutely not, as far as I

am concerned. Everybody is complaining. Apparently it is backed

up. Because of this vicious price war. Morrison says it will half its

underlying profit. Well, I do not shop at expensive supermarket at all

but my bills are extra, `` astronomical. Supermarket was a big

business. They do not do my own shopping, that idea is outrageous. I

look forward to receiving the letter. There is evidence that.

Supermarkets having to react and bring down prices. Most would see it

as a good news story. Presumably if his on the front of the FT because

it is a bad news story for some. A story I no we are role keen to get

to. Page three of the mail. By a powerful vacuum cleaner now. This

combines everything from household chores to having a go at Europe. Who

does the hoovering in the bond house? Roger. Isn't that the

cleaner? He is a robot. He is a new acquisition. A cheap one. He is

absolutely excellent. This is another true scare story. Honestly,

if you cannot have your 1600 watt vacuum because Europe says no. Why

isn't saying no? It is a climate controlled thing. That really, I

think we should be allowed to buy whatever Hoover we want. It is a

delicious image of everybody fighting for the last few powerful

Hoover 's. This is like the lightbulbs. So we cannot see. I

suppose we cannot see the dust any more so it is good. He with the main

Hoover must in your household? We will leave that one aside for the

moment. He has vetoed the last two stories! The power of the Hoover

does not reflect how well it picks up the dad. It is all about the

transmission. Obviously, they are arguing that.

They say the labels could be misleading because they didn't take

into account the cost of consumables, like vacuum bags.

That's a good point. He is a very clever man. That joke from the

Edinburgh Fringe Festival, he got rid of his Hoover because it was

collecting dust. Yes, there were a lot of good 1`liners. You can't

claim credibility for that. That's it for The Papers this hour. Thank

you to my guests. Stay with us here on BBC News. At midnight, we'll have

the very latest on the attempts to identify the jihadist, who was

filmed beheading the American journalist James Foley. Now it's

time for Sportsday. Hello. I'm John Acres, welcome to

Sportsday. Heading to the Women's World Cup. England book their place

in the finals by thrashing Wales. Malky Mackay apologises for sending

two messages of a "very regrettable" nature, following allegations he

exchanged discriminatory texts with a former
