01/12/2015 The Papers

quarter-finals. Chelsea plan to bring down Stamford Bridge in

exchange for a brand-new home. That is in Sportsday in 15 minutes after

the papers. Hello and welcome to

our look ahead to what the papers Welcome to you both and thank you

for coming in. The Independent devotes its front

page to the government's proposal to launch air strikes against IS

targets in Syria, declaring that it is based on "wishful thinking

and poor information." The Daily Telegraph picks up

on this evening's comments by the He called Labour leader

Jeremy Corbyn and his allies The Times reports results

of a poll which suggests less than half the country supports the UK

taking action in Syria. While the Sun has pictures

from a training exercise carried out today in London by armed police,

aimed at thwarting a Paris-style The Mail carries claims of

an internal Conservative Party row. It says an ally of

Home Secretary Theresa May is accusing the Chancellor of

encouraging mass immigration to help The Financial Times says the Bank of

England has "drawn a line under the era of bank-bashing," by signalling

it won't tighten restrictions The Mirror has the story

of Britain's youngest ever organ donor, Hope Lee, who died just 74

minutes after being born. And finally, the Express leads

with the news that cutting your So, let us begin, and of course it

is the vote on Syria tomorrow, around this time tomorrow night we

will know the result of the vote. The Telegraph, first of all, have

got this, allegedly, inflammatory language from the Prime Minister he

used to Tory backbenchers to describe Jeremy Corbyn and those who

will vote against. Yes, tonight at the 1922 Committee of backbenchers.

It reflects a shift in tone from David Cameron on the Syria debate

which started as being quite measured, and very respectful on

both sides. The Commons' statement last week had both David Cameron

telling Jeremy Corbyn he restated his long-held opposition. He

received praise from Labour MPs as well as his own team for the way he

handed the statement, putting the government's case. It didn't last

long. Maybe he is trying to rally his political troops into action.

The atmosphere is definitely fed -- febrile, verging on acrimonious. On

the one hand, we have his attack on those who walk through the lobbies

in opposition to the plan for airstrikes, accusing them of being

terrorist sympathisers. Extraordinary. I must confess, after

his very well measured comment in the last two or three days, to say

this is exceptional. Is he saying the Tories in his party who don't

want to go in our terrorist sympathisers? Is David Davis, the

Foreign Affairs Select Committee, the majority who don't want to bomb

them, terrorist sympathisers? Having said that, the behaviour of Labour

MPs leaves a lot to be desired. Some have gone to Labour MPs who are

against bombing in Syria and has said that, sorry, who are voting for

bombing in Syria, saying they will kill innocent children and people.

They show them a picture of a dead baby to remind them of what won't

happen, which is inappropriate. While David Cameron's sites are on

the opposition and those who won't back the strikes mission, Jeremy

Corbyn turned on his own party, issuing a thinly veiled threat to

those who would back David Cameron, saying there would be no hiding

place and it would lead to innocence being killed. That is filtering down

through the party. More than 100 MPs I believe have received an e-mail

from someone claiming to be a Labour member, part of the Momentum

Movement in the party, in which they are threatening deselection, and

saying this will be payback for the Labour members. This is the

behaviour that turns the public against politicians. There is

nothing more crucial than this and they are bringing party politics in

such a dramatic way. That is exactly what turns people off politics. The

Independent have a powerful piece by Patrick Cockburn. There is all sorts

of stuff in the papers. There is a deluge of opinion. Yes. This is a

striking front page with a picture of a fighter jet. They can be

heading to Syria tomorrow night to start airstrikes. Patrick Cockburn

is a very well respected and long-standing war correspondent.

They have quoted from his piece, Miller Street strategy is based on

misinformation -- military strategy. There is a lot of detail, not just

suggested by the Prime Minister, but this issue everyone seems to be

gathering a round, the 70,000 troops on the ground. It seems almost

inevitable that you need people on the ground -- around. You also have

to follow it through and make sure you clear out ISIS. This 70,000

forced, presented via the Prime Minister, sounds like a unified

army, from the Kurds to the Turkmen to

President Assad's own forces -- ranging. To try to get them all on

one side and into some sort of credible armed fighting force will

be hard. We have no idea how it will end, less than the idea we had about

Iraq, so Patrick Cockburn has a point. We have got the Times, with

the dramatic picture of protest is outside parliament - don't bomb

Syria. They've got a poll suggesting, although it has

fluctuated, less than half of voters support airstrikes. It does not

surprise me at all, quite frankly, with what has been said, and with

what we have not discovered in the past. Like a lot of people, I have

been wavering on this. Maybe we should go in, then I think maybe we

shouldn't. There are so many questions that haven't been

answered. You cannot bomb your way to democracy, as Jeremy Corbyn has

said. You cannot go in without a plan. Tomorrow is a crucial day. If

you were an NTU would be wavering? I would be waiting to see what David

Cameron has to say about the sources of financial aid for ISIS Mufti oil

supply they have -- if you were an MP, you would be wavering? I want

what we know to be public before making a final decision. Will it

influence MPs, will they vote according to what they have heard in

the debate? A lot of have made up their minds. Apparently, 30 Labour

MPs have not yet nailed their colours to the mast. People might be

swayed in the debate itself. These are very emotive occasion. Members

in the press gallery in the House of Commons, during the Iraq War debate,

head of the invasion, which had troops on the ground, it was very

different in that respect, but the feelings of passion with people like

Robin Cook resigning over it, and the tension, which was tangible. It

is strange in a way, because warplanes are attacking ISIS in Iraq

already. This is a question of moving across the border. Moving

across the border without troops on the ground. You've got troops on the

ground in Iraq to support you. In history I don't think there has been

a campaign of bombing that has ended in victory. We need more. US special

forces on the ground. A lot of people opposing action say that

because we don't know the endgame, this is a vote on airstrikes. It is

a motion that no ground troops will be committed. What happens 18 months

down the line, maybe the Vienna peace talks have not led to a

transition from Assad... Who can you negotiate with? How can you

negotiate peace? We need more people involved, for a start, and more

information about what's going on. If you have feet on the ground, they

have to be from countries in that region, but also a UN force, will

Russia and China sign up? We could debate Syria all night and the

Commons will be debating it all day tomorrow. The Daily Mail have a

story about George Osborne banking on migration to boost economy. It is

an odd story to run on a day like this. George Osborne, they say, has

been accused of encouraging mass migration to balance the books on

the grounds that the bigger the economy overall means spending cuts

affect increases when the deficit measures according to GDP. The

bigger economy. Is it about Theresa May against George Osborne and the

Tory leadership? Both. George Osborne can put a ?27 billion rabbit

out of the hat. The office of the responsibility predictions suggested

180,000 more people coming to the UK and generating more income and

therefore the economy would be boosted. However, the source of this

story is a former special adviser, who worked with Theresa May for five

years. They are close to the -- very close to the Home Secretary. It is

very true that immigration is always a top issue at when you ask the

public at elections and so on, it comes to the top of the list.

Theresa May is calculating what will happen when David Cameron goes. She

is looking at the lineup and thinking, there are two Tory left

candidates and someone has to keep either right crowd, occupy the

immigration argument. That is a debate for another day -- has to

keep to the right. Shelling a small amount of fat could cure type 2

diabetes -- shedding. That is according to the Daily Express and

Newcastle University. Losing a tiny amount of fat around the pancreas

can radically affect the condition of diabetes, type 2 diabetes. As far

as I know, fat has always been a factor in diabetes, people say it is

partly because of being overweight, but this is about fat just around

that particular organ. If you lose it, you can improve your condition.

Let's move on to the Financial Times, which as usual has a picture

of footballers on the front page. Don't ask me about this because

football is not my forte. I know your husband is a Manchester City

supporter. So am I. The front of the Financial Times. More money for

them. 13% Chinese state. The biggest win for Sheikh Mansour, who owns

13%. Not a bad day for him. Good news for the club. Sheikh Mansour

has been very good to the area around the ground, lots of

development going on, massive training ground, a new college and

swimming pool, helping 8000 new homes in the area, providing the

area which was badly run down. You sound like a press officer at

Manchester City! It is good news all round. And they won tonight, so it

doesn't get better. The Chinese President visited. Of course. Even

though he is allegedly a Manchester United fan. He had a photograph with

David Cameron. And the star striker, Sergio Aguero. No questions on human

rights. Does it enter into it? Certainly not in the investment with

nuclear power, Chinese investment, and transport and infrastructure, it

has been conveniently forgotten. I want to see whether the Man City

website talks about its books. I think they will be stocking lots of

Manchester City shirts. Light blue books. Thank you so much for being

with us. It was a pleasure to have you with us. Coming up next,

Sportsday. Hello and welcome to Sportsday,

with me Ore Oduba. Everton seal their spot in the

semi-finals of the Capital One Cup. Delefeou dazzles in

the win over Middlesbrough.
