:00:00. > :00:14.Jadeja during their altercation during the first test between

:00:15. > :00:17.England and India. Welcome to our look ahead to what

:00:18. > :00:23.the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. With me here in London is

:00:24. > :00:28.Craig Woodhouse, political correspondent for the Sun.

:00:29. > :00:40.And in our Glasgow studio, Jean Freeman from Women for Independence.

:00:41. > :00:49.Time for a look at the front pages. On the Daily Mirror, bomb terror at

:00:50. > :00:52.38,000 feet. The paper describes the moment RAF

:00:53. > :00:56.jets were scrambled to escort a passenger plane after a bomb hoax.

:00:57. > :00:58.The Times shows the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and Prince Harry

:00:59. > :01:02.walking through a field of ceramic poppies at the Tower of London.

:01:03. > :01:05.The Daily Mail says six out of ten chickens on sale at supermarkets

:01:06. > :01:08.carry a dangerous bug, which causes food poisoning.

:01:09. > :01:11.The Express warns that energy bills may soar as suppliers scramble to

:01:12. > :01:13.make up for a dip in their profits. After today's shock resignation by

:01:14. > :01:16.the Conservative minister Baroness Warsi, the Telegraph says she's

:01:17. > :01:21.warning another minister may follow her lead.

:01:22. > :01:24.And the Guardian says Alastair Darling landed a barrage of blows on

:01:25. > :01:33.First Minister Alex Salmond in tonight's televised referendum

:01:34. > :01:38.debate. No surprise, then, that the debate

:01:39. > :01:42.features heavily on some of the front pages. But there is more

:01:43. > :01:50.analysis on the inside pages as well. Also, the resignation over

:01:51. > :01:54.Gaza. That is the front page on the Times, which also speculates that

:01:55. > :01:58.this may just be the beginning. That is what Baroness Warsi indicated in

:01:59. > :02:05.her rather inflammatory exit interview she gave yesterday

:02:06. > :02:08.evening. Interestingly, the Times says Dominic grieve, the former

:02:09. > :02:13.Attorney General, who was axed in the reshuffle recently, has come out

:02:14. > :02:20.in favour of Baroness Warsi's position. In her resignation, she

:02:21. > :02:25.said that the Council of some of the more moderate figures like Dominic

:02:26. > :02:31.Grieve 's and Ken Clarke had been missing in the last few weeks.

:02:32. > :02:33.Clearly, there is a rift. Nick Clegg and Vince Cable have come out

:02:34. > :02:41.strongly in favour of suspending arms exports to Israel. This is not

:02:42. > :02:45.just a Tory party war but a war within the coalition. When things

:02:46. > :02:49.like this bubble up in the summertime, when everyone is on

:02:50. > :02:55.recess, they take a while to get going. But this one has got going

:02:56. > :03:02.very quickly. How do people read into this? Do people care? What

:03:03. > :03:07.people care about is when they think that parties are divided and split.

:03:08. > :03:14.There is a lot of evidence that voters do not like division within

:03:15. > :03:17.parties or, in this case, it looks like not only within a party but

:03:18. > :03:23.within the two parties of government. I think that is what

:03:24. > :03:28.people care about. Of course, people will care about what is going on in

:03:29. > :03:35.Israel and in Gaza and have opinions on that but I think that the impact

:03:36. > :03:45.this will have is more on the unsettling nature of division in the

:03:46. > :03:47.UK government. I also think the point about things like this

:03:48. > :03:55.happening in the summertime, absolutely, it has certainly grown

:03:56. > :03:58.legs and run quite fast. Debates like this are harder to close down

:03:59. > :04:01.this summer as well because there is not much else happening and the

:04:02. > :04:07.Prime Minister is on holiday, so he is not there to get a grip of it and

:04:08. > :04:13.take control or even appear and make statements and so on. It feels

:04:14. > :04:19.well`planned, well timed and therefore deliberate. I think what

:04:20. > :04:19.has been happening over the last few days, she did not have much option

:04:20. > :04:27.in that timing. She the World War I commemorations that

:04:28. > :04:32.have been going on. She earliest point she could do it and

:04:33. > :04:45.she knew that David Cameron was on his way to Portugal. This is your

:04:46. > :04:59.newspaper's headline. It is quite clever. Again, it hints at some

:05:00. > :05:02.insight into the internal discussions going on at the ten

:05:03. > :05:10.Downing Street, if anyone is around, of course. Indeed. David Cameron

:05:11. > :05:14.seems to be cursed that whenever he leaves the country, something big

:05:15. > :05:20.happens. He was in Africa when his constituency was flooded. He was

:05:21. > :05:24.under attack for that at the time. He was on holiday shortly after the

:05:25. > :05:33.horrific murder of Lee Rigby. And here he is, looking at fish. And we

:05:34. > :05:37.have the caption, gutted, underneath a picture of David Cameron and a

:05:38. > :05:42.picture of a fish, just as one of his main ministers walked out. If he

:05:43. > :05:49.wanted to give a statement from Portugal, it might give this story

:05:50. > :05:54.too much credence. He is dammed if he does and dammed if he doesn't. Do

:05:55. > :06:00.you admire someone who was hailed by David Cameron as Britain's first

:06:01. > :06:04.female Muslim Cabinet minister? Do you admire what she has done today,

:06:05. > :06:10.making a stand? I admire any politician who acts out of beliefs

:06:11. > :06:12.and principles. If that is what has happened today, that is worthy of

:06:13. > :06:21.admiration. sensibly cynical about politicians

:06:22. > :06:27.and their motivations, so I will withhold my judgement until I see

:06:28. > :06:34.more about what happens here. That is a good point. This might not end

:06:35. > :06:39.up dabbling `` damaging the government too much. People won't

:06:40. > :06:46.mind if a person stands down because they have to look in the mirror

:06:47. > :06:52.every day and... Let's look at the other main story in the papers, the

:06:53. > :06:55.referendum debate in Scotland. The Daily Mail is calling it. Darling

:06:56. > :07:02.wins debate as crowd turns on Alex Salmond. Yes. And with all due

:07:03. > :07:09.respect, it is something of a classic Daily Mail headline in that

:07:10. > :07:15.there were a few seconds when the audience, not the crowd, the

:07:16. > :07:18.audience in the venue expressed their displeasure at the first

:07:19. > :07:25.minister. There were also other occasions when the audience

:07:26. > :07:34.expressed uncomplimentary views of Alistair Darling. It was a bit...

:07:35. > :07:40.But it is accurate. They did express displeasure. Whether that warrants a

:07:41. > :07:44.headline to say that the crowd has turned on Alex Salmond, I'm less

:07:45. > :07:48.sure. This is the problem with these election debates. Similarly with

:07:49. > :07:55.leadership debates before elections. The one between Nick Clegg and Nigel

:07:56. > :07:59.Farage. Everyone is desperate to reach a judgement immediately on who

:08:00. > :08:02.won and who lost and what they key moments were. That is partly the

:08:03. > :08:06.reason why David Cameron says he does not want the same format this

:08:07. > :08:10.time around. This ends up being dominated by who said this and who

:08:11. > :08:14.said that. Sometimes, it's just a couple of seconds either way that

:08:15. > :08:20.can determine the entire coverage. Head`to`head battle. Alex Salmond

:08:21. > :08:23.and Alistair Darling in a head`to`head battle. It is fair to

:08:24. > :08:29.say that it was a heated debate and made interesting television. Yes,

:08:30. > :08:34.and that is exactly what we want. That is the point of them. Alistair

:08:35. > :08:38.Darling has been criticised as the grey man, the man with no notions.

:08:39. > :08:48.He came across much better and gave as good as he got. I agree. You

:08:49. > :08:54.found it engaging and heated? It was. Not merely passionate enough

:08:55. > :08:58.for my liking at times but in terms of Alistair Darling's performance,

:08:59. > :09:09.he is criticised and characterised as being dull and boring and in

:09:10. > :09:12.fairness, he was quite energised and animated and he stuck to the script

:09:13. > :09:19.and made his points. In that sense, it was not all. Admittedly, you have

:09:20. > :09:23.seen more of it than we have. It is on our Parliament channel tomorrow

:09:24. > :09:26.at seven o'clock because there were problems with the streaming on the

:09:27. > :09:32.internet, so not everybody could get it. So, you are our expert tonight

:09:33. > :09:36.on whether it was heated or not. Moving on to the Guardian will stop

:09:37. > :09:42.aspirin could cut cancer rates. We seem to get a lot of these Tories.

:09:43. > :09:46.In some sense, we must be careful that we do not read into possible

:09:47. > :09:53.breakthroughs. I'm always sceptical whenever I see some thing could cut

:09:54. > :09:58.or cause cancer. We often get all the same thing can do both. This

:09:59. > :10:01.does seem to be a fairly authoritative study pointing to some

:10:02. > :10:09.significant health benefits in terms of bowel cancer, cancer of the

:10:10. > :10:14.oesophagus, other stomach cancers. It is if you take a small dose of

:10:15. > :10:18.aspirin over a long period of time for 50`64 `year`olds. The older you

:10:19. > :10:25.get, the better the health benefits for you. It is a slight gamble,

:10:26. > :10:30.however, because for every 15 or 17 lives it will save, some people will

:10:31. > :10:37.die from the risk of stomach bleeds and strokes, so it is a calculated

:10:38. > :10:43.gamble. As always, consult your GP. How much do you read into these

:10:44. > :10:49.revelations? I agree very much with what has just been said. You have to

:10:50. > :10:54.read the entire article, if you like. Sometimes, you will get that

:10:55. > :10:59.kind of headline and when you actually read the story, what has

:11:00. > :11:05.happened is that researchers have got to the next stage in their

:11:06. > :11:09.research and there is an indication that suggest that such and such a

:11:10. > :11:13.thing might be helpful. This is a bit different but I think that with

:11:14. > :11:19.all of these things, you have to read past the headline and then

:11:20. > :11:24.consult your GP because all drugs are individually dependent on what

:11:25. > :11:28.else you have going on, whether it is your weight, your exercise or any

:11:29. > :11:34.other conditions that you have. You have to be careful and not just jump

:11:35. > :11:38.out and start buying aspirin. The doctor who conducted the study said

:11:39. > :11:43.that aspirin looks to be the most important thing we can do to reduce

:11:44. > :11:47.cancer after stopping cancer `` after stopping smoking and reducing

:11:48. > :11:53.obesity and would probably be much easier to increment. Those other

:11:54. > :11:56.things are more important to do but we are so lazy and so bad at giving

:11:57. > :12:04.up smoking but it might be easier just to take an aspirin before bed

:12:05. > :12:09.everyday. A reminder today that we are still under threat and there is

:12:10. > :12:14.still tension about our safety from terrorist attacks. We don't have to

:12:15. > :12:18.tell people where you are, in Glasgow, about the threat from

:12:19. > :12:23.terrorist attacks because you had the attack at Glasgow Airport some

:12:24. > :12:32.time ago. The Mirror is focusing on this story, dedicating its entire

:12:33. > :12:37.front page. Yes. There are two aspects to this. The interesting

:12:38. > :12:40.thing for me about this story is how quickly both the airline and

:12:41. > :12:47.particularly the aircrew and our security forces reacted to this and

:12:48. > :12:55.dealt with it. That is a good thing and reassuring. And the risk of them

:12:56. > :13:00.is that because it was like that and nothing bad came of it, we need to

:13:01. > :13:06.be careful not to become too blase about it and think that this kind of

:13:07. > :13:13.threat cannot be carried through with catastrophic consequences.

:13:14. > :13:17.However, it is an important story. I think it has to be given some

:13:18. > :13:20.context and we have to be grateful that the security forces and the

:13:21. > :13:27.aircrew and the airline reacted so well to it and remain vigilant to

:13:28. > :13:34.those kinds of threats and such possibilities. Terrifying if you are

:13:35. > :13:37.sitting on an aircraft and you see a fighter jet flying by the side. You

:13:38. > :13:47.know what it is therefore. Yes, absolutely. And the reason why this

:13:48. > :13:51.story took off is that everyone has a high`quality camera in their

:13:52. > :13:55.pockets. We had a man filming the RAF jet through the window, we had

:13:56. > :13:58.people in gardens in the Manchester area forming the entire thing, and

:13:59. > :14:01.this was all happening before the aircraft even landed! It was

:14:02. > :14:07.absolutely amazing in terms of speedy coverage. We have time to

:14:08. > :14:13.look at the Daily Express. Energy bills soar by ?130. Energy is one of

:14:14. > :14:17.the big issues at the heart of the referendum debate. Who will pay and

:14:18. > :14:25.how much will it cost? Where will it come from? It is a big worry. And

:14:26. > :14:30.this is such a classic story because the argument that is being presented

:14:31. > :14:35.for the possibility that energy prices will rise is that the

:14:36. > :14:40.companies concerned did not do so well because we had a warm winter.

:14:41. > :14:44.If we had a cold winter, that would have been their argument for doing

:14:45. > :14:49.it as well. I think that there has to be much more serious examination

:14:50. > :14:58.of our energy use and energy resource in the country. Let us get

:14:59. > :15:03.away from the capacity of private sector companies to make such a

:15:04. > :15:07.degree of profit and to jiggle around prices, which causes enormous

:15:08. > :15:12.misery to ordinary, working people, who really, for them, the idea that

:15:13. > :15:23.price hike is a significant worry as we head into winter. Thank you. All

:15:24. > :15:37.the sport coming up next. Hello, and welcome to Sportsday, I'm
