tennis and the best of the day's reaction to the final football | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
transfers in Sportsday in 15 minutes after the Papers. | :00:00. | :00:13. | |
Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing | :00:14. | :00:18. | |
us tomorrow. With me is the broadcaster Lynn Faulds Wood and the | :00:19. | :00:22. | |
president of YouGov, Peter Kellner. Tomorrow's front pages. | :00:23. | :00:26. | |
Many papers lead with the apparent murder of the American journalist | :00:27. | :00:27. | |
Steven Sotloff by Islamic State. Many papers lead with the apparent | :00:28. | :00:31. | |
murder of the American The Metro reports the militant's threat to | :00:32. | :00:33. | |
kill a British hostage next. The Daily Express calls it a | :00:34. | :00:36. | |
chilling new threat. The Daily Mail carries comments from | :00:37. | :00:39. | |
the Prime Minister who said the video is disgusting and despicable. | :00:40. | :00:41. | |
The Guardian notes the British accent of the jihadi on the footage | :00:42. | :00:45. | |
is the same as in the killing of James Foley. | :00:46. | :00:48. | |
The Independent pictures Steven Sotloff before his abduction last | :00:49. | :00:54. | |
year. As does the Scotsman, which also | :00:55. | :00:57. | |
features the criminal charges being dropped for Ashya's parents. | :00:58. | :01:03. | |
Another story leads the Financial Times. It says the prospect of a | :01:04. | :01:07. | |
close vote on Scottish independence is sending jitters through the City. | :01:08. | :01:16. | |
We must start with the story of Steven Sotloff, apparently a second | :01:17. | :01:25. | |
American journalist murdered in a video posted on the intranet. It is | :01:26. | :01:29. | |
interesting how the papers have decided to feature the story with | :01:30. | :01:33. | |
their cover photographs of `` Internat. The independent has a | :01:34. | :01:41. | |
photo of Mr Scott lost `` Independent `` Steven Sotloff. The | :01:42. | :01:49. | |
picture ranges from this nice photo to some horrible photos. It is | :01:50. | :01:54. | |
interesting to see the editorial decisions behind this. The Scotsman | :01:55. | :02:01. | |
shows him as the journalist, the man, and well done the Independent | :02:02. | :02:09. | |
for choosing to tell a horrible story in this way because some | :02:10. | :02:14. | |
images were so graphic you think they would appeal to the nasty side | :02:15. | :02:18. | |
of human nature. It plays into the recruiting element that this video | :02:19. | :02:25. | |
is fair to achieve. `` there to achieve. Most people don't go | :02:26. | :02:33. | |
looking at 6`8 papers so closely. I find it numbing. The horrible ones | :02:34. | :02:41. | |
or so horrible, they leave you gasping for understanding. In an odd | :02:42. | :02:48. | |
way, the front page of the Independent and the Scotsman is in | :02:49. | :02:51. | |
some ways more powerful because you see not a victim but a human being. | :02:52. | :02:58. | |
And, the life that has been lost. Not only have the Independent taken | :02:59. | :03:05. | |
a sensitive view, but actually, the front page I think has more in | :03:06. | :03:09. | |
packed than some of the more ostensibly gruesome images. I hope | :03:10. | :03:16. | |
so. These are a horrible people that are doing this, we know that, who | :03:17. | :03:20. | |
are asking the families for a enormous ransoms to spare the lives | :03:21. | :03:25. | |
of their children and they aren't these idealistic people who want | :03:26. | :03:31. | |
this Islamic State, they are thugs and we feed into their thuggery if | :03:32. | :03:37. | |
we show them brandishing knives and we give them the oxygen in | :03:38. | :03:41. | |
publicity. Let's bring up the Guardian front page if we can. The | :03:42. | :03:48. | |
BBC News channel has decided they won't show anything from the video | :03:49. | :03:55. | |
itself. Nothing more than a picture of Mr Sotloff himself. This is the | :03:56. | :04:01. | |
front page of the Guardian. Why do you think the Telegraph has used a | :04:02. | :04:09. | |
more graphic picture? I don't know. Maybe it sells papers. I don't want | :04:10. | :04:15. | |
to buy a paper with a man wielding a knife. I feel I am helping to... | :04:16. | :04:22. | |
There are hard judgements to make because we have both been | :04:23. | :04:25. | |
journalists for a number of years and I don't think on this situation | :04:26. | :04:30. | |
that editors and news editors take the decision which will send the | :04:31. | :04:35. | |
paper flying off the shelves tomorrow morning. They might on | :04:36. | :04:38. | |
other occasions but this time I think they are making... They are | :04:39. | :04:42. | |
wrestling with a difficult judgement as it were to get the full truth, | :04:43. | :04:49. | |
which is the horror and the knife, or finding another way to tell the | :04:50. | :04:54. | |
story that is less brutal and perhaps if you take the view of the | :04:55. | :05:00. | |
Independent, they don't want to play into the hands of the Islamist | :05:01. | :05:04. | |
agenda. I don't think there is a clear right or wrong I just refer | :05:05. | :05:11. | |
the Independent's approach. I am not sure the Telegraph are doing it to | :05:12. | :05:14. | |
sell copies. I think they have the view that I disagree with. It is a | :05:15. | :05:20. | |
powerful and legitimate front page. I think the jihadis use these videos | :05:21. | :05:27. | |
for recruitment. One paper has studied them carefully and think | :05:28. | :05:30. | |
these people have been killed on the same day at around the same time | :05:31. | :05:34. | |
because all of the backgrounds are the same, the filming is the same, | :05:35. | :05:40. | |
the editing is the same. It is quite likely that the British hostage is | :05:41. | :05:44. | |
also now dead and there are another 20 hostages there that... Western | :05:45. | :05:54. | |
hostages. The Times mentions about the British hostage who isn't being | :05:55. | :05:57. | |
named by British media at the request of family but has been | :05:58. | :05:59. | |
identified by the international press. As far as I can tell, they | :06:00. | :06:08. | |
named him in tomorrow's papers, the name is out there, it is no secret. | :06:09. | :06:14. | |
This is a judgement of taste, decency and respect for the family | :06:15. | :06:18. | |
as much as anything. There is the question of the photos, the naming, | :06:19. | :06:22. | |
and anyone who says there is an absolute right or wrong way to do | :06:23. | :06:27. | |
this and some papers have it right and others don't, I am jolly glad I | :06:28. | :06:33. | |
am not having to decide the front page the night. Any suggestion of | :06:34. | :06:38. | |
other hostages being killed is speculation, we don't know. It does | :06:39. | :06:47. | |
look quite possible. Working in TV, if something looks the same in every | :06:48. | :06:51. | |
shot, it is likely it was done at the same time. The front page of the | :06:52. | :06:56. | |
Guardian, again, Spanish judge frees Ashya King's parents from jail after | :06:57. | :07:02. | |
a U`turn from prosecutors. This is an extraordinary saga. We reported | :07:03. | :07:08. | |
minutes ago with the hospital bringing out a statement. The story | :07:09. | :07:13. | |
isn't over. I have a feeling there are a feeling there are labourers to | :07:14. | :07:18. | |
the story that we don't know. What we do know is that the Crown | :07:19. | :07:21. | |
Prosecution Service went for the parents and they have now pulled | :07:22. | :07:25. | |
back. We also know that David Cameron and Nick Clegg and the | :07:26. | :07:30. | |
Guardian leans into this, say they shouldn't be prosecuted. In terms of | :07:31. | :07:36. | |
the substance, my sympathies are with David Cameron and Nick Clegg, | :07:37. | :07:41. | |
in terms of process, it worries me. I don't think politicians should | :07:42. | :07:45. | |
tangle themselves with legal decisions even if the politicians | :07:46. | :07:47. | |
are right and their lawyers are wrong. This is slippery slope | :07:48. | :07:53. | |
territory. Although I am glad the case has been pulled back, and I | :07:54. | :07:57. | |
support the sentiment expressed by the Prime Minister and his deputy, I | :07:58. | :08:05. | |
feel queasy about the way... (CROSSTALK) there has been criticism | :08:06. | :08:07. | |
of the hospital involved in Southampton. Bafflement. We don't | :08:08. | :08:11. | |
know what went on. Not understanding. Not until you read it | :08:12. | :08:19. | |
out. The hospital has released a statement making it clear it was | :08:20. | :08:23. | |
concerned for the well`being of this five`year`old for a number of | :08:24. | :08:30. | |
reasons, for instance, because a power cable for the nasal gastric | :08:31. | :08:33. | |
tube used to feed the five`year`old had been left behind. It can work on | :08:34. | :08:41. | |
a battery but only occasionally. The child still seems to be OK. Yes, but | :08:42. | :08:48. | |
if you are a hospital trust, will you take that chance? This is the | :08:49. | :08:55. | |
dilemma. They have known this for four or five days. It happened last | :08:56. | :09:00. | |
Thursday, was it? Why haven't we known any of this before now. Why | :09:01. | :09:04. | |
did they issue an arrest warrant, a terribly heavy pool to use to get | :09:05. | :09:13. | |
this family back. `` tool. Let's invert that. I don't know if we know | :09:14. | :09:19. | |
the truth. Supposing the hospital said, we disagree, but they are the | :09:20. | :09:25. | |
parents and supposing heavens above, he died, will we not be saying, why | :09:26. | :09:31. | |
were you so laid`back? I am not saying laid`back. Don't take a | :09:32. | :09:39. | |
sledgehammer. You and I have been through enough stories to know that | :09:40. | :09:43. | |
this kind of thing was probably a lot more to come out on both sides | :09:44. | :09:47. | |
and I am not going to... I don't want to rush to judgement. They now | :09:48. | :09:56. | |
say they are appealing for a second appealing `` opinion. There is no | :09:57. | :10:04. | |
right or wrong necessarily. They often have five options. With this | :10:05. | :10:12. | |
family... I have seen the data for Europe and Britain isn't great with | :10:13. | :10:15. | |
cancer. We have seen stories in the press about that. These parents | :10:16. | :10:20. | |
thought they could go elsewhere for a second opinion and better | :10:21. | :10:24. | |
treatment. The impression from the statement is that they were in the | :10:25. | :10:28. | |
middle of this discussion as to what the next course of treatment should | :10:29. | :10:32. | |
be and it seems according to the hospital that the conversation came | :10:33. | :10:38. | |
to an end. Why doesn't everybody stop talking about it? You parents | :10:39. | :10:41. | |
have suffered four or five days in prison, they have been handcuffed, | :10:42. | :10:44. | |
their trial has been without parents for several days, why do they stop | :10:45. | :10:49. | |
until the parents return to Britain, kept them together with | :10:50. | :10:52. | |
hospital and have someone sort out the truth. At the moment, we are | :10:53. | :10:57. | |
speculating. At the heart of it is a little boy. This information is | :10:58. | :11:02. | |
difficult to put in the public domain. Patient confidentiality. The | :11:03. | :11:06. | |
hospital felt it was backed into a corner and had to put this stuff out | :11:07. | :11:11. | |
there. It seems to be explaining the reasoning behind their actions. They | :11:12. | :11:15. | |
could have put some out. I think there have been mistakes made all | :11:16. | :11:21. | |
round and what the... The way they have resolved those mistakes was | :11:22. | :11:25. | |
heavy`handed. Let's move on to the Financial Times. Scots vote, fears | :11:26. | :11:32. | |
rattle City. I am sitting here, you are sitting there, we are looking at | :11:33. | :11:37. | |
this man, a man who can wipe billions of stock markets. With the | :11:38. | :11:41. | |
flick of a finger. I teased him about that earlier because I am | :11:42. | :11:45. | |
Scottish. But, I didn't mean it. Billions probably have been wiped. | :11:46. | :11:51. | |
It is the fact that the YouGov poll yesterday came out and suggested | :11:52. | :11:55. | |
that this rate is very tight indeed and YouGov has been Conservative | :11:56. | :12:01. | |
with the small seat in its predictions with the vote. Your | :12:02. | :12:06. | |
pollsters have changed things a little bit. The Scottish people have | :12:07. | :12:13. | |
changed it. We genuinely simply report what is happening. Since we | :12:14. | :12:16. | |
got figures yesterday morning, I have been speaking with people on | :12:17. | :12:20. | |
the ground, people with their ear to the ground who know what is going on | :12:21. | :12:25. | |
and everyone says, yes, on the ground, they can tell it is | :12:26. | :12:31. | |
tightening. They can see that in working`class areas, traditional | :12:32. | :12:33. | |
Labour voters, as the poll suggests, have been switching in large numbers | :12:34. | :12:39. | |
from No to Yes. Alex Salmond has broken through on the issue of being | :12:40. | :12:44. | |
run by Tory London, dangers to the NHS, real or fantasy, that argument | :12:45. | :12:51. | |
is beginning to get... And, winning voters as well. To a small extent. | :12:52. | :12:57. | |
There is still a big gender gap. Until one month ago, men were | :12:58. | :13:01. | |
divided evenly between Yes and No, women were two to one on Yes to | :13:02. | :13:08. | |
know. It is now on balance. There is still a quite wide gender gap. If | :13:09. | :13:12. | |
you tie it back to the first story in Syria and Iraq, there is a gender | :13:13. | :13:21. | |
gap. Well you have a risky option, sending weapons into Iraq or | :13:22. | :13:25. | |
Scottish independence, men tend to be more in favour. Where it is | :13:26. | :13:29. | |
cautious, security, we aren't sure about this... Sensible women tend to | :13:30. | :13:36. | |
be on that side of the argument. It was happening with Afghanistan and | :13:37. | :13:45. | |
Libya. You are a Scot, explain why you think it is time. I left | :13:46. | :13:51. | |
Scotland and awfully long time ago. If you ask what I am, the first | :13:52. | :13:55. | |
thing I say is Scottish. Scottish people are very proud of being | :13:56. | :14:00. | |
Scottish. You get English people... This article in the Financial Times | :14:01. | :14:03. | |
has some quotes in it that will make the Scots go and vote Yes. You can't | :14:04. | :14:10. | |
tell the Scots what to do especially if you are English and especially if | :14:11. | :14:13. | |
it sounds like you are patronising. This is it because a lot of British | :14:14. | :14:17. | |
people are looking at the debate and thinking, all of this stuff about | :14:18. | :14:21. | |
not having the sterling, not being part of the union, the economy going | :14:22. | :14:25. | |
down the tube, the North Sea oil running out, all the economic stuff | :14:26. | :14:30. | |
is trumped by the heart. Is that what you are saying? I was speaking | :14:31. | :14:36. | |
with an oil man on Sunday who said there was lots of oil and there is | :14:37. | :14:41. | |
lots of gas in the North Sea, I love the Scottish line that we have to | :14:42. | :14:45. | |
keep our oil, we needed for our trips. The Scots can take the | :14:46. | :14:51. | |
proverbial apple themselves. They are basically the proverbial out of | :14:52. | :14:56. | |
themselves. We have three polls between now and polling day and I | :14:57. | :15:01. | |
think there is now a battle between momentum, which is clearly with | :15:02. | :15:06. | |
Yes, and something that often happens in referendums around the | :15:07. | :15:10. | |
world, at the last minute, people draw back from change, looking over | :15:11. | :15:13. | |
the cliff edge, they think, I am not so sure about jumping off. I don't | :15:14. | :15:18. | |
know which of those impulses is going to win the day. There is a | :15:19. | :15:23. | |
rocky ride in the polls, possibly their financial markets, have a lot | :15:24. | :15:28. | |
of turbulence over the next few weeks. It started with the Scots | :15:29. | :15:31. | |
saying they thought they wouldn't get a fair deal. If they did some | :15:32. | :15:36. | |
horse trading, some earlier horse trading, it is too late now. They | :15:37. | :15:40. | |
would probably have said that it would do nicely. It has gone too | :15:41. | :15:44. | |
far. Put that on the table. That is one side of the debate. Probably | :15:45. | :15:49. | |
wasn't generous enough. It has been great having you in to look at the | :15:50. | :15:52. | |
stories behind the headlines. Many thanks. Stay with us on BBC News. | :15:53. | :15:58. | |
