The British nurse who contracted the Ebola virus in Sierra Leone has been | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
discharged from a London hospital. Will Pooley said that he is | :00:00. | :00:20. | |
wonderfully lucky to have survived. Hello and welcome to our look ahead | :00:21. | :00:24. | |
to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. With me are the | :00:25. | :00:27. | |
Telegraph columnist Tim Stanley and the broadcaster and football | :00:28. | :00:31. | |
commentator Clarke Carlisle. The Financial Times highlights the | :00:32. | :00:34. | |
advance of the FTSE, which is close to a record high despite the unrest | :00:35. | :00:41. | |
in the Middle East and Europe. The Telegraph leads on the warning | :00:42. | :00:44. | |
from one of the world's major investment banks that Scottish | :00:45. | :00:46. | |
independence could provoke a sterling crisis. | :00:47. | :00:51. | |
The Express warns kettles and lawnmowers could be next after the | :00:52. | :00:53. | |
EU banned high`powered vacuum cleaners. | :00:54. | :00:57. | |
The Guardian says Barack Obama and David Cameron will use the Nato | :00:58. | :01:00. | |
summit to forge a military coalition to destroy the Islamic State | :01:01. | :01:03. | |
operation in northern Iraq. The Metro also leads on Islamic | :01:04. | :01:08. | |
State. It says the militant believed to have killed two American | :01:09. | :01:11. | |
journalists in Syria will be hunted like Osama Bin Laden, according to a | :01:12. | :01:17. | |
former security minister. The Independent says Barack Obama has | :01:18. | :01:20. | |
begun to look alarmingly impotent in the face of the international crisis | :01:21. | :01:23. | |
in the Middle East and Russia. And the Mirror has a picture of | :01:24. | :01:26. | |
Brett and Naghemeh King, reunited with their son Ashya. They say their | :01:27. | :01:29. | |
period in a Spanish prison has taken its toll on him. | :01:30. | :01:43. | |
The front page of the Independent is quite arresting. Your move, Mr | :01:44. | :01:51. | |
President. He is arriving for the Nato summit. There does not seem to | :01:52. | :01:58. | |
have been a coherent response to the crisis in Iraq, Syria and also the | :01:59. | :02:07. | |
crisis in Eastern Europe. That is what they are trying to convey with | :02:08. | :02:11. | |
this headline and this question. What amazes me is that there is this | :02:12. | :02:17. | |
expectation for decisions to be made instantaneously. And on as matter as | :02:18. | :02:21. | |
grave and as huge as this, obviously we do not want procrastination and | :02:22. | :02:28. | |
we do need action, but this has to be done from a basis of knowledge, | :02:29. | :02:35. | |
effectiveness and also support. The last time Barack Obama went into | :02:36. | :02:44. | |
some then bullheaded, we had the War on Terror and that ended in | :02:45. | :02:50. | |
disaster, costing lives. President Bush. President Bush, sorry. The | :02:51. | :02:56. | |
last time we tried to attack something like this head on. I don't | :02:57. | :03:01. | |
think that they should mistake patients and searching for some | :03:02. | :03:05. | |
discernment and sagacity as weakness. He is a thoughtful man, | :03:06. | :03:14. | |
who takes his time to think through all of the ramifications of a | :03:15. | :03:19. | |
particular move, but some would say that it is now turning into | :03:20. | :03:24. | |
procrastination. And the suggestion last week that we do not have a | :03:25. | :03:29. | |
strategy, which he now says was a misunderstanding, some say that is | :03:30. | :03:37. | |
dangerous. He was not misquoted. This front page is extraordinary | :03:38. | :03:44. | |
because the Independent is a centre`left newspaper and it says | :03:45. | :03:47. | |
that a coherent response is conspicuous by its absence and | :03:48. | :03:54. | |
President Obama is beginning to look alarmingly impotent. After six years | :03:55. | :04:01. | |
in power, to say that President Obama is looking alarmingly impotent | :04:02. | :04:05. | |
is very surprising. Having said that, I have to come to his | :04:06. | :04:13. | |
defence. First, he has taken action. There have been US airstrikes | :04:14. | :04:17. | |
against ISIS. It is not true that he has done nothing. Second, I'm not | :04:18. | :04:23. | |
sure what a coherent strategy is, what would be appropriate, or if | :04:24. | :04:28. | |
simply having one for the sake of having one is a good thing. The War | :04:29. | :04:32. | |
on Terror was a coherent strategy but it led to the crisis in Iraq. | :04:33. | :04:41. | |
And I wonder if this slightly halting style of President Obama is | :04:42. | :04:44. | |
the only thing that stands between us and world War three. I don't want | :04:45. | :04:53. | |
John McCain. There was a map of countries in the world that Senator | :04:54. | :04:56. | |
John McCain said he would like to go to war with and it covers almost | :04:57. | :05:00. | |
every single continent. I want a careful and deliberate president. I | :05:01. | :05:04. | |
did what action eventually when it is necessary and the President has | :05:05. | :05:08. | |
done that and I don't think it's necessary to lay out some grand, | :05:09. | :05:10. | |
Western strategy especially when you're dealing with band. Very well | :05:11. | :05:19. | |
armed and very well funded bandits but bandits nonetheless. I don't | :05:20. | :05:25. | |
want to lay out a ten year plan. The future is much too uncertain. We | :05:26. | :05:32. | |
have spoken about Tony Blair, George Bush and Iraq. Is this a president | :05:33. | :05:35. | |
who still has this conflict, which he voted against and argued | :05:36. | :05:41. | |
against, is that what is weighing on him? There is a legacy in both | :05:42. | :05:50. | |
countries for both David Cameron and Barack Obama to contemplate when | :05:51. | :05:54. | |
making decisions. The lack of support for the UK going into that | :05:55. | :06:01. | |
conflict had a huge ramifications on the decision`making process for | :06:02. | :06:03. | |
David Cameron and that is why he is reticent to get into bed on this | :06:04. | :06:12. | |
one. But when we talk about fighting bandits, President Obama cannot go | :06:13. | :06:15. | |
in there and just bomb the nation to hell because they are a Morpheus. We | :06:16. | :06:21. | |
don't know where ISIS is hiding and we cannot go in there and carpet | :06:22. | :06:25. | |
bomb the entire nation because the ramifications would be huge for | :06:26. | :06:31. | |
everyone! Tim Tom is the big discussion that is taking place | :06:32. | :06:33. | |
between Barack Obama and David Cameron, is it really about working | :06:34. | :06:38. | |
out how to get Bashar al`Assad onboard? Is that really what is | :06:39. | :06:46. | |
causing the log jamming? A strategic view of what to do? Because if they | :06:47. | :06:51. | |
are going to go after ISIS, whatever the acronym for this organisation | :06:52. | :06:58. | |
is, its paces are in Syria. `` bases. I don't know. If they were to | :06:59. | :07:06. | |
do that, it would be an enormous mistake. An example of the enemy of | :07:07. | :07:09. | |
my enemy not really being my friend at all. I heard an interesting | :07:10. | :07:15. | |
argument suggesting why they should talk to Bashar al`Assad. Obviously | :07:16. | :07:22. | |
the basis for ISIS are in Syria. But Bashar al`Assad has never directly | :07:23. | :07:25. | |
threatened the US or the UK. ISIS has. But when the crisis started in | :07:26. | :07:34. | |
Syria, one of the first thing Bashar al`Assad did was release the ice | :07:35. | :07:39. | |
star militants from prison in order to split the opposition against | :07:40. | :07:45. | |
him. `` ISIS style militants. This is well documented. He would dilute | :07:46. | :07:50. | |
the democratic opposition by releasing people who would make its | :07:51. | :07:55. | |
politics far more complicated. And that worked very well because the | :07:56. | :07:58. | |
narrative of the Syrian civil war has moved away from the Arab string | :07:59. | :08:05. | |
`` Arab Spring and democracy and has now become him being the last man | :08:06. | :08:12. | |
against extremism. Don't forget that Barack Obama was elected on an | :08:13. | :08:16. | |
anti`war ticket. For people to come down on him and say why are you not | :08:17. | :08:20. | |
being stronger on Iraq is a question of short`term memory loss and we | :08:21. | :08:26. | |
have to remember he got into power to get America out of the Middle | :08:27. | :08:31. | |
East and he is not going to rush to get them back in. With all due | :08:32. | :08:36. | |
respect, or a man who does not like Barack Obama, you have done a great | :08:37. | :08:40. | |
job in defending him. In these last ten minutes, you have defended his | :08:41. | :08:45. | |
policy against some ruthless cutthroats. At this point in time, | :08:46. | :08:49. | |
I'm glad this is not the second term of John McCain. John McCain and | :08:50. | :08:57. | |
Sarah Halen! LAUGHTER Sarah Palin! Why am I laughing? I don't know? We | :08:58. | :09:02. | |
are very balanced. Let's not go there. The Mirror has a fantastic | :09:03. | :09:17. | |
story for this particular family. The Kings have been reunited with | :09:18. | :09:20. | |
Ashya after being in prison for three nights, four nights, and this | :09:21. | :09:25. | |
is a photo that will gladden the hearts of many people. A fantastic | :09:26. | :09:30. | |
story in the end. There will be serious questions asked about what | :09:31. | :09:33. | |
they have had to go through. Not just their fight against the | :09:34. | :09:39. | |
hospital and the police and Interpol or whoever it was who picked them up | :09:40. | :09:42. | |
in Spain but the fact that this has all been put on them on top of the | :09:43. | :09:47. | |
intense trauma that they are having to go through, supporting and | :09:48. | :09:50. | |
looking after their son and finding the necessary treatment for him. I | :09:51. | :09:55. | |
think that there are two issues in this story. Obviously there is the | :09:56. | :10:01. | |
personal and the actual family involved in this story. The hospital | :10:02. | :10:04. | |
have many questions to answer about their processes. And the lines of | :10:05. | :10:10. | |
communication with the family and also the police. That is one issue. | :10:11. | :10:15. | |
The second one, which is almost an umbrella issue, is that of | :10:16. | :10:19. | |
paediatric brain tumours and how we treat and diagnose and research them | :10:20. | :10:25. | |
in England. It has the highest mortality rate of all cancers but | :10:26. | :10:32. | |
less than 0.7% of the funding for cancer research goes into | :10:33. | :10:34. | |
researching paediatric brain tumours. This is why I'm humbled and | :10:35. | :10:41. | |
honoured to be a patron of the Katie Holmes trust, a poor young girl from | :10:42. | :10:46. | |
Preston who died from paediatric brain tumour. The treatment she | :10:47. | :10:50. | |
needed was not available in the UK. And they are now researching | :10:51. | :10:54. | |
themselves and trying to raise the various funds to launch research | :10:55. | :10:58. | |
themselves. And this is another question. Why is the research not | :10:59. | :11:03. | |
there for paediatric brain tumours when it has the highest mortality | :11:04. | :11:09. | |
rate of all cancers? This whole debate has resurfaced about the | :11:10. | :11:11. | |
quality of the nature of the cancer care in this country because of the | :11:12. | :11:18. | |
situation regarding the Kings. Is it some then that you think Jeremy Hunt | :11:19. | :11:21. | |
and the government should look at now? Or is this something that | :11:22. | :11:26. | |
happens, is talked about for five minutes and then disappears? I don't | :11:27. | :11:33. | |
see why the treatment should be available in Spain and the Czech | :11:34. | :11:36. | |
Republic is not available in this country as well. I think the thing | :11:37. | :11:43. | |
they have to immediately deal with is the use of the European Arrest | :11:44. | :11:47. | |
Warrant, the role of the CPS and the NHS is chasing down the family. | :11:48. | :11:49. | |
There are some more pressing political things they have to deal | :11:50. | :11:53. | |
with as soon as possible. It has not been a good few days for the welfare | :11:54. | :11:58. | |
state. In Rotherham, we had the welfare state letting people down by | :11:59. | :12:02. | |
not stepping in on their behalf. In this story, we have the welfare | :12:03. | :12:06. | |
state doing too much, pressing themselves on the private lives of a | :12:07. | :12:10. | |
family who should have been left alone. Why were these people hounded | :12:11. | :12:14. | |
across the Channel by the welfare state when they were trying to do | :12:15. | :12:20. | |
the best thing for their child? Lots of questions. And I have to say that | :12:21. | :12:24. | |
over the last couple of nights, I have had to play devils advocate for | :12:25. | :12:29. | |
the hospital and they were doing the right thing for this child. But why | :12:30. | :12:35. | |
did the CPS become involved? Why did this become a police matter? And our | :12:36. | :12:42. | |
NHS, how is it able to exert that much political and judicial | :12:43. | :12:49. | |
influence? Now, this story, an issue that could be interesting, bearing | :12:50. | :12:55. | |
in mind that the police were involved in the story with the | :12:56. | :13:02. | |
Kings. And some other things... The police are telling victims to solve | :13:03. | :13:05. | |
their own crimes. It is absolutely extraordinary. And the person | :13:06. | :13:09. | |
running it says that a large number of crimes are being decriminalised | :13:10. | :13:13. | |
because the police are not dealing with them. That is very worrying. I | :13:14. | :13:17. | |
would like to think if I called the police, not only would they listen, | :13:18. | :13:21. | |
they would actually take action to solve the crime that has occurred. | :13:22. | :13:25. | |
But there are some crimes that have to be without a doubt investigated | :13:26. | :13:29. | |
by the police but if it is a minor crime, a vehicular crime or | :13:30. | :13:33. | |
whatever, this is... Again, I'm playing the devil 's advocate... | :13:34. | :13:41. | |
Perhaps there are some offences that are minor to the point where, you | :13:42. | :13:45. | |
know, the police cannot get involved completely? Minor | :13:46. | :14:24. | |
national government and police crackdown. It is interesting. The | :14:25. | :14:29. | |
turnaround in New York City under the rule of Rudolph Giuliani, it was | :14:30. | :14:44. | |
a zero tolerance policy. And the EU are trying to steal our kettles. | :14:45. | :14:48. | |
That is a crime, according to some. The Express. God bless them. We use | :14:49. | :14:56. | |
kettles to make tea. This is the very fabric of British society. What | :14:57. | :15:04. | |
is going on? A certain wattage is too strong for some devices and so | :15:05. | :15:12. | |
they have been outlawed. Will we have maters? The Tetley maters? `` | :15:13. | :15:23. | |
matyrs? This is a European assault on the very nature of British life | :15:24. | :15:27. | |
full of the right to a cup of tea without interfering busybodies. It | :15:28. | :15:32. | |
has to be said that this is not Brussels. We signed up to this. Yes | :15:33. | :15:37. | |
and these decisions must be made. This is playing devils advocate | :15:38. | :15:43. | |
but... LAUGHTER. This is a ridiculous headline, it really is. | :15:44. | :15:48. | |
What is the worst that will happen? An extra 12 seconds to boil your | :15:49. | :15:54. | |
cattle? Yes! It could ruin a cup of tea! The whole issue is undermining | :15:55. | :16:00. | |
the whole climate change philosophy or science. Headlines like this make | :16:01. | :16:06. | |
people think that this is nonsense. That there are things we can do in | :16:07. | :16:10. | |
our daily lives that can help change the speed of climate change. | :16:11. | :16:14. | |

Stay with us here on BBC News because we will have much more on | :16:30. | :16:35. | |

East. Now, it is time for Sportsday. Hello and welcome to Sportsday. I'm | :16:38. | :16:53. | |
Nina Warhurst. Captain Rooney seals a 1`0 win for | :16:54. | :16:56. | |
England in their friendly against Norway at Wembley. But only 40,000 | :16:57. | :17:04. | |
are there to watch it go in. Not quite the World Cup final, but | :17:05. | :17:06. | |
Argentina take some | :17:07. | :17:07. |
