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