:00:00. > :00:00.looking good. And, in the's progress in the fourth test against India is
:00:07. > :00:13.hampered by Manchester's weather. `` England's.
:00:14. > :00:18.Hello, and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing
:00:19. > :00:21.us tomorrow. With me are Louise Court, editor in chief of
:00:22. > :00:22.Cosmopolitan, and Sue Matthias, editor of the Financial Times
:00:23. > :00:33.Weekend Magazine. Several of them have the US
:00:34. > :00:36.airstrikes in Iraq on the front page. The Daily Telegraph is
:00:37. > :00:40.reporting government sources who, the paper says, have not ruled out
:00:41. > :00:43.British airstrikes. The Times has the same front page photograph `
:00:44. > :00:50.showing American fighter jets on one of their aircraft carriers. The
:00:51. > :00:53.Daily Mirror is saying that members of the British SAS have been sent
:00:54. > :00:56.out to Iraq. The Independent also leads with the US airstrikes in
:00:57. > :00:59.Iraq, showing President Obama speaking to the Jordanian King on
:01:00. > :01:02.the phone from the Oval Office. The Daily Mail looks at new guidance
:01:03. > :01:06.from the government's health advisory body on the safety of
:01:07. > :01:09.drinking alcohol two days in a row. And the Daily Express is warning of
:01:10. > :01:10.severe weather ahead, as the remnants of what was Hurricane
:01:11. > :01:27.Bertha arrive in the UK on Sunday. We will begin with those on Iraq.
:01:28. > :01:31.The Daily Telegraph is the first front page. Britain considers
:01:32. > :01:39.airstrikes to avert genocide in Iraq. Obama orders a second attack
:01:40. > :01:42.on jihadists. Hundreds of Yazidi women have taken captive. It seems
:01:43. > :01:46.we need to be rather careful with the suggestion being made here on
:01:47. > :01:49.the front page, because Downing Street are saying to our
:01:50. > :01:57.correspondence, but this has not been discussed at all. As you were
:01:58. > :02:02.saying just now, it seems that David Cameron is stepping back quite
:02:03. > :02:06.firmly from the idea, which has been reported not only by the Telegraph
:02:07. > :02:09.but some of the other papers we will be looking out, that British
:02:10. > :02:18.intervention could be imminent. In fact, what the Telegraph says in the
:02:19. > :02:25.second leg of its story, is that if this situation were to deteriorate,
:02:26. > :02:34.that Rajesh forces could take part `` British forces. They are saying
:02:35. > :02:39.they haven't discussed it at the Cobra meeting, but what they had
:02:40. > :02:45.discussed is the humanitarian effort that Britain will make with these
:02:46. > :03:00.airdrops of tents and food and water, for people who are a mountain
:03:01. > :03:06.without any supplies. The conditions are terrible, very hot
:03:07. > :03:11.temperatures, children are dying of dehydration. You would need 24 big
:03:12. > :03:16.US planes every day just to get enough water to the people. It is a
:03:17. > :03:21.massive operation that has to step up. But that is all we are
:03:22. > :03:25.committing to at this point. As welcome as that would be, the US
:03:26. > :03:32.seems to have enough air power to do the job on their own, it would
:03:33. > :03:36.appear. Absolutely. And there is talk of the Iraqis doing their own
:03:37. > :03:44.initiatives as well. It is not just US planes. We will come to that when
:03:45. > :03:52.we look at the other papers. Let's have a look at the Times. The US
:03:53. > :03:58.bombs jihadists. A picture of a fighter jet on an aircraft carrier,
:03:59. > :04:05.preparing for two sets of strikes. Given that in June, the Americans
:04:06. > :04:09.couldn't find the political consensus to mount the strikes, when
:04:10. > :04:16.they were asked to do so by the Iraqi government. This time, the
:04:17. > :04:19.impetus is greater? Yes, Obama said that they wouldn't be going in
:04:20. > :04:23.unless there was a change of government in Baghdad, and that is
:04:24. > :04:28.really what everyone has been waiting for, and probably still
:04:29. > :04:36.hoping for. Obviously, recent events, the events of the last day
:04:37. > :04:42.or two have pushed matters further and much faster. What is interesting
:04:43. > :04:48.is that so far we haven't seen the comment pages of the papers, but
:04:49. > :04:50.there seems to be very little criticism emerging from any
:04:51. > :05:01.direction, regarding the American action. The Financial Times leader
:05:02. > :05:11.supports Obama's decision, calling it a risky but right. Also, it
:05:12. > :05:19.points out that there is a very real danger of the whole of Iraq being
:05:20. > :05:23.overrun by jihadists, if not prevented. I think everyone is
:05:24. > :05:34.hoping that Iraqis themselves will manage to master resistance. Let's
:05:35. > :05:39.have a look at the FT. This is not troops on the ground, they were
:05:40. > :05:45.pulled out in the three years ago. The latest focus and concern is the
:05:46. > :05:49.city of Irbil, which is in the Kurdish autonomous area. We
:05:50. > :05:55.understand from people we have been talking to tonight that they have
:05:56. > :06:00.their own army, who are extremely useful and better equipped than the
:06:01. > :06:13.Iraqi army to keep the IAS militants at bay. `` ISIS. I think in a period
:06:14. > :06:18.of two months, they have taken something like a third of Syria and
:06:19. > :06:28.a quarter of Iraq, so they have made massive inroads, and it is a
:06:29. > :06:38.situation that is developing so quickly. Also, it will inevitably
:06:39. > :06:46.affect oil. This is happening in the oil`rich parts country, and that
:06:47. > :06:50.impact is mentioned. Western forces are beginning to retreat, and the
:06:51. > :06:55.airstrikes have coincided with the first signs that fighting in the
:06:56. > :07:00.north is starting to have an impact on oil operations. A London`based
:07:01. > :07:05.company has suspended its output, amid concerns about stability in the
:07:06. > :07:18.country. The effect that will have in prices, it is a big worry. The
:07:19. > :07:24.other part of this story that perhaps it FT is looking at, where
:07:25. > :07:28.other people aren't, if the losses that the ISIS group themselves might
:07:29. > :07:39.have sustained. They come across as being this sort of invincible
:07:40. > :07:44.jihadists movement and that it is capable of such atrocities that even
:07:45. > :07:50.Al Qaeda has disowned them. Yes, in all these papers, the FT is the only
:07:51. > :07:58.one which points out and reports about losses which ISIS have
:07:59. > :08:03.suffered during this American airstrike. And that is as a result
:08:04. > :08:09.of the airstrike, rather than ground offensive is. Indeed. They are
:08:10. > :08:14.reporting that a large number of militants have been wounded, killed,
:08:15. > :08:20.and evacuated to hospitals in Mosul. It strikes a slightly
:08:21. > :08:26.different note, and I'm sure that by tomorrow, far more will emerge about
:08:27. > :08:33.whether the balance of the conflict is leading in a direction. The
:08:34. > :08:37.impact it is having on airlines is an issue as well. There is a lot of
:08:38. > :08:42.discussion about whether airlines should be flying over conflict
:08:43. > :08:49.zones. Yes, again, towards the end of this story, there is a report
:08:50. > :08:56.about British Airways, which has taken the decision to suspend flying
:08:57. > :09:05.over Iraq, Qatar Airways have done that already. It is interesting,
:09:06. > :09:12.some continue flying while others don't. It is very worrying,
:09:13. > :09:16.especially after the Ukraine crisis. The Daily Mirror have suggested that
:09:17. > :09:21.the SAS has gone in, deploying special forces while the US is
:09:22. > :09:30.carrying out air strikes. An unnamed source says there has to be boot on
:09:31. > :09:36.the ground element. How we can prove that, I don't know. Speculative, a
:09:37. > :09:42.little. Some of them are out there, somewhere. The Daily Mail, don't
:09:43. > :09:48.have a drink two days running. This is the latest advice from Public
:09:49. > :09:52.Health England, which says that one day on and one day off is needed,
:09:53. > :09:58.because daily drinking is a contributor to health risks. How
:09:59. > :10:07.much? A glass, a pint? We just don't know. It sounds like sensible
:10:08. > :10:17.advice, doesn't it? A little bit unrealistic. Completely unrealistic,
:10:18. > :10:21.according to one MP. He took great delight in saying it is completely
:10:22. > :10:24.unrealistic, people have the common sense to know how to look after
:10:25. > :10:32.ourselves. But we don't, isn't that the point? It depends on how much
:10:33. > :10:35.you drink each night. You will have this report now, and then there will
:10:36. > :10:38.be another one in a month saying that the glass a day is exactly what
:10:39. > :10:47.you need, because it controls will BP... There is always a different
:10:48. > :11:01.health report that is contradictory to the last one. `` it controls your
:11:02. > :11:08.blood pressure. There is an indication here that it is a nanny
:11:09. > :11:10.state meddling in our lives. This front page is obviously taking a
:11:11. > :11:14.very different approach to the news of the day from all the other ones.
:11:15. > :11:22.They have decided completely to avoid it, and give the readers
:11:23. > :11:28.something a bit more light`hearted, and a bit nanny state to get our
:11:29. > :11:35.teeth into. We always like to bash the nanny state, don't we?
:11:36. > :11:45.Absolutely. The football is about to start, as well. The Daily Express.
:11:46. > :11:53.Beware storms. We mentioned in the last hour that we are in the silly
:11:54. > :12:02.season where there is not much to report, so a weather story needs to
:12:03. > :12:06.be reported. Not so this year, because there is plenty in the world
:12:07. > :12:11.happening, but the Daily Express is sticking to its weather story. This
:12:12. > :12:16.story is coming in from the Caribbean, a 60% chance of hitting
:12:17. > :12:21.us, and come Sunday we will be sitting around and it will be like
:12:22. > :12:25.autumn outside. I have changed my plans. We were going to be
:12:26. > :12:30.travelling, and now I don't think we will. We don't want to be blown away
:12:31. > :12:33.in the storm. I would like to draw attention to this wonderful Met
:12:34. > :12:41.Office graphic of this big yellow balloon. That is not what you called
:12:42. > :13:05.it earlier. No, condom I think was the word that sprang to mind. It is
:13:06. > :13:12.like a moon man... `` Moomin.
:13:13. > :13:16.The decline in the number of letters being sent. The Royal Mail are
:13:17. > :13:20.having an issue about how many collections, what time of day, they
:13:21. > :13:30.can possibly from a business point of view sustained. It is not
:13:31. > :13:35.sustainable, evidently. The humble letter has been superseded by
:13:36. > :13:38.e`mail, and no one is posting anything much any more apart from
:13:39. > :13:51.birthday cards, which will be a great loss. But what is booming is
:13:52. > :13:57.their parcel service. Royal Mail leads on to fight another day, but I
:13:58. > :14:04.think the red postbox's days are probably numbered. They were saying
:14:05. > :14:10.that there will possibly be even more will rule postboxes opened or
:14:11. > :14:20.staying open, where you can't get to wait post office, you have no choice
:14:21. > :14:25.but to use them. `` more rural. There is an age issue here. For a
:14:26. > :14:29.lot of younger people it would be a problem, and for older people it is
:14:30. > :14:36.a problem. Everyone talks about the future of the Royal Mail, it is
:14:37. > :14:42.always the past that people want to preserve. We don't really seem to
:14:43. > :14:50.get a delivery necessarily every day. Hour days pretty good. People
:14:51. > :15:00.aren't writing you enough letters. I shall have to get my vellum and
:15:01. > :15:06.Quill out. The junk mail comes through, that never gets lost in the
:15:07. > :15:10.post! Thank you both very much. Stay with us on BBC News. At midnight:
:15:11. > :15:14.the Pentagon launches a second round of air strikes against IS militants
:15:15. > :15:17.in Iraq. But coming up next it's time for Sportsday.
