:00:00. > :00:20.use the vanishing spray. Hello and welcome to our look ahead
:00:21. > :00:24.to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. With me is Oliver
:00:25. > :00:26.Wright, Whitehall Editor of the Independent and in our Edinburgh
:00:27. > :00:36.studio, author and journalist, Iain Macwhirter. Tomorrow's front pages.
:00:37. > :00:39.US Weighs up airstrikes is The Guardian's headline as Islamic
:00:40. > :00:44.Militant group IS continues to make gains in Iraq. While an image of
:00:45. > :00:47.Iraqi refugees dominates the front of the Times, saying a mass exodus
:00:48. > :00:55.of Christians were fleeing from the Muslim extremists. Boris Johnson's
:00:56. > :00:59.on the front of the Express. He says it will be easy to win powers back
:01:00. > :01:02.from the EU, as long as the Prime Minister gets tough. The Mail, which
:01:03. > :01:05.says NHS operation waiting lists are the highest they've been for six
:01:06. > :01:08.years. While the Telegraph says the new Education Sectary is to push for
:01:09. > :01:10.British values to be taught at nursery to protect toddlers from
:01:11. > :01:13.religious extremism. A striking photo on the front of The Indy,
:01:14. > :01:19.which says fresh violence has erupted in Kiev as authorities tried
:01:20. > :01:22.to remove activists. While The Scotsman says the sanctions showdown
:01:23. > :01:24.between Russia and The West could cost the Scottish economy up to 50
:01:25. > :01:40.million pounds.And the Mirror says the gang that allegedly
:01:41. > :01:47.attacked and killed two students in Malaysia were high on crystal meth.
:01:48. > :01:58.Net is start with the Scottish Telegraph. `` let's start. Alex
:01:59. > :02:04.Salmond got a grilling. He refused to back down. It is the aftermath of
:02:05. > :02:11.the debate on Tuesday with Alistair Darling. It has been the defining
:02:12. > :02:18.moment of the campaign. He has been getting a hard time on people on his
:02:19. > :02:29.own side. They are saying, why lock yourself in? Why not just say, if
:02:30. > :02:39.there will not be a currency, we will get our own? We might print our
:02:40. > :02:46.own pound which is one to one parity. Than Scotland would not be
:02:47. > :02:54.liable for its share of the UK debt. It is a per capita share of 110
:02:55. > :02:56.billion. That would make an independent Scotland more viable if
:02:57. > :03:04.it would take on its full share of the doubt. What do you make of the
:03:05. > :03:14.take that the Telegraph has? That's in light of the debate on Tuesday
:03:15. > :03:19.night. From the no point of view, it is clear where their view lies. I
:03:20. > :03:29.think the TV debate could go down as the defining moment for when the
:03:30. > :03:35.game is up for Alex Salmond. For the yes campaign, he was on the central
:03:36. > :03:44.point of the currency, put in a difficult decision. The question is,
:03:45. > :03:48.he doesn't go for his own currency, and that is because people want to
:03:49. > :03:55.keep the pound. This is all looking increasingly unlikely. What about
:03:56. > :04:02.the people who are supportive of yes, but are not supportive of the
:04:03. > :04:08.currency argument? There were people today talking on both sides. If
:04:09. > :04:15.people are insisting they would not be a currency union, and I don't
:04:16. > :04:22.think there would not be a currency union, as pointed out by
:04:23. > :04:29.economists, is George Osborne did put up a wall to stop this, it would
:04:30. > :04:36.damage the English economy almost as much as it would damage Scotland's.
:04:37. > :04:42.They are one of the biggest trading partners. It could be worth up to
:04:43. > :04:51.?24 billion. A prominent economist and a Labour Party adviser didn't
:04:52. > :04:54.think there would not be a currency union. It is practical. Most people
:04:55. > :05:02.do not want to change currency when they cross the border. The pound is
:05:03. > :05:10.not England's property. It was a joint partnership in the 17A7 union.
:05:11. > :05:15.When you to solve a partnership, you to sell the assets and liabilities.
:05:16. > :05:29.`` dissolve. The Scotsman has a piece on its
:05:30. > :05:34.front page with Mick Jagger and other celebrities to back the no
:05:35. > :05:41.campaign. There is a lot of discussion about whether the no
:05:42. > :05:46.campaign is negative. It is saying, if you are independent, you can't
:05:47. > :05:53.have this or the other thing. But there is something about union
:05:54. > :06:00.dispute. The no campaign has realised that it is better to have
:06:01. > :06:08.people like Mick Jagger and then Judi Dench, rather than George
:06:09. > :06:17.Osborne. It gives them a voice, but it doesn't give them much more.
:06:18. > :06:22.There was a representative of the border constituency that made the
:06:23. > :06:26.point, if you are sitting in the UK, it is like the debate we are having
:06:27. > :06:31.about Marat, if we get divorced and we split up, Julie keep the house?
:06:32. > :06:45.It should be about why we stay together. What do you think of
:06:46. > :06:49.celebrities having a say in this? When a woman leaves home, it is not
:06:50. > :06:53.assumed that she has given up rights to the marital residence. I know
:06:54. > :07:04.there are many well, but maybe they shouldn't. This is a gift to the
:07:05. > :07:17.SNP. Simon Cowell calling for Scotland to remain just piles up
:07:18. > :07:21.votes for the yes. There was a proclamation urging people to stay
:07:22. > :07:29.in the union. That has led to a play in the Edinburgh Festival talking
:07:30. > :07:33.about like that shouldn't happen. There are other political issues
:07:34. > :07:43.that I am thinking of. It depends which celebrities that's what. ``
:07:44. > :07:51.says what. Simon Cowell might put them off. It would depend on it is.
:07:52. > :07:59.Bruce Forsyth is not going to work. Let's go to the Scotsman and the
:08:00. > :08:05.trade war between Russia and the EU. They are talking about what this
:08:06. > :08:13.will cost the Scottish economy. It is quite a parochial take for the
:08:14. > :08:18.this is a Russian attempt to post the trade ban on Western
:08:19. > :08:26.agricultural products, which could cost the farmers of Europe billions.
:08:27. > :08:31.This is a disturbing echo of the 1930s in having a trade war of these
:08:32. > :08:36.two blocks. We have had the annexation of the Crimea. We have
:08:37. > :08:44.had the separatist movements in the Ukraine. The Russian response is
:08:45. > :08:52.disturbing. It is escalating. Both sides will have to look at this.
:08:53. > :08:55.Russia is a big country. It has considerable agricultural resources
:08:56. > :09:02.and it has control of most of the oil and gas that goes to Western
:09:03. > :09:12.Europe. It could be very serious. From the UK point of view, don't
:09:13. > :09:20.export but many products to Russia. Beef has been bound. The way that
:09:21. > :09:28.Moscow could hurt us is to ban the export of oligarchs to London. They
:09:29. > :09:32.might be concerned about what has been said here about the
:09:33. > :09:39.consequences of sanctions that are going in that direction. A number of
:09:40. > :09:47.them are people that have fallen out badly with the Putin regime. That is
:09:48. > :09:55.why they are here. I'm a financial point of view, that could hit the UK
:09:56. > :10:04.economy hard. `` from a. That was the take on the Scotsman, but it
:10:05. > :10:14.should be covered more widely. I would suspect it is covered more
:10:15. > :10:20.prominently inside most papers. Particularly with the prevention of
:10:21. > :10:26.European and American airlines being prevented to fly over Russian
:10:27. > :10:32.athletes. You have hinted at that. Let's go to the Times's front page.
:10:33. > :10:39.They have gone on the events in northern Iraq. I'm not quite sure it
:10:40. > :10:49.is Wars of religion, ethnic and religious cleansing. There is the
:10:50. > :10:54.talk about whether President Obama could have limited air strikes,
:10:55. > :10:59.which could come quickly. There is also the horror story of hundred
:11:00. > :11:11.thousand people being forced to flee. They are being told by ISIS to
:11:12. > :11:16.get out or be killed. People have nowhere to go and they are running
:11:17. > :11:22.out of food and water. Part of the story is about whether they can
:11:23. > :11:29.create a humanitarian corridor which is protected. This is a story which
:11:30. > :11:37.people will focus on in the coming days. It is a very arresting front
:11:38. > :11:52.page with a photograph to go with it. The times has given us the
:11:53. > :12:01.treatment it deserves. It is reminiscent of what happened in
:12:02. > :12:06.Kosovo. The West did arrange for abstracts that do to rectify the
:12:07. > :12:16.situation to a certain extent. `` air strikes. They are hesitant to
:12:17. > :12:28.get involved in Asterix, America, but this would not be a repetition
:12:29. > :12:32.of 2003. `` air strikes. It is not the same situation. Only 10,000
:12:33. > :12:42.people have managed to acquire military power from the Iraqi army.
:12:43. > :12:52.This is what has caused this crisis and I think it could be contained
:12:53. > :13:05.fairly easily. President Obama was poised to have air strikes. There is
:13:06. > :13:12.an official quote saying that this could be a fast moving train. There
:13:13. > :13:13.has obviously been a meeting. They probably have had contingency plans
:13:14. > :13:27.free time. This `` for a time. It is of limited
:13:28. > :13:33.scope. That goes back to the caution you were talking about. They always
:13:34. > :13:41.talk about there will be no American boots on the ground. Given their
:13:42. > :13:47.experience about what happened in Libya, it is difficult to say
:13:48. > :14:00.whether the West could stand by and allow this to happen. It is possible
:14:01. > :14:06.to mobilise ISIS easily. No military intervention is easy, but in this
:14:07. > :14:11.situation, something could be done to prevent a humanitarian
:14:12. > :14:22.catastrophe in the making. Let's go to the Daily Mail. This is a health
:14:23. > :14:28.story. It is about a six year high for hospital waiting times. I don't
:14:29. > :14:32.want to be an apologist for the government, but I think it is more
:14:33. > :14:41.complicated Pat Howard has been presented. There
:14:42. > :14:58.`` than how it has. This is traditionally a quiet time for the
:14:59. > :15:01.NHS. That's not to say that there would be a problem in the winter. It
:15:02. > :15:20.could be a flu outbreak. If the beds are taken up with the flu, then
:15:21. > :15:30.that could increase the waiting. Any thoughts before we move on to Dr
:15:31. > :15:36.Who? The national health service has been devolved Scotland. There have
:15:37. > :15:46.been talks in previous years of people waiting outside the accident
:15:47. > :15:48.and emergency in trolleys. One of the anxieties expressed in the
:15:49. > :16:06.independence campaign, like Doctor Phillipa Whitford, saying if they do
:16:07. > :16:09.not opt for this, the privatisation and commercialisation will happen in
:16:10. > :16:26.Scotland. That is causing some concern. As I mentioned, we are
:16:27. > :16:37.going to end with a story about Dr Who. The Daily Mirror has a picture
:16:38. > :16:48.of Peter Capaldi. He is 56. The way people are going on, you would think
:16:49. > :16:58.he was 156. He is, isn't he? I think the producers are worried.
:16:59. > :17:07.Matt Smith was young. They had a lot of viewers. People probably watched
:17:08. > :17:12.because of him. They will be wondering whether they can hold onto
:17:13. > :17:18.audience. I am a fan of Peter Capaldi, but only because of Malcolm
:17:19. > :17:28.Tucker. I don't see how he can transition. The land which will be
:17:29. > :17:35.less salty. `` language. He is going to keep his accent, and so I don't
:17:36. > :17:44.know if the Daleks will understand him. Thank you. Coming up, we will
:17:45. > :18:05.have more on the situation in Iraq. Hello and welcome to Sportsday, I
:18:06. > :18:06.Mike Bushell. The
