:00:00. > :00:00.have taken preventative measures. Nigeria has created isolation

:00:00. > :00:20.centres. Welcome to our look ahead at what

:00:21. > :00:25.the papers will bring us tomorrow. With pep are Jo Phillips and the

:00:26. > :00:31.editor of the Sunday People. Thank you for coming in. The front`pages.

:00:32. > :00:35.Let us begin with the situation in Iraq, it dominates most of the front

:00:36. > :00:39.pages as you can imagine. Save us from death says the Sunday

:00:40. > :00:43.Telegraph. Obama vows to smash the militants in northern Iraq is the

:00:44. > :00:49.headline in the Sunday Times, The Observer high lites how minority

:00:50. > :00:53.communities are freeing from Islamic state fighters, and points out who

:00:54. > :00:58.British aircraft have joined the relief effort. A picture of Baroness

:00:59. > :01:05.wars Sir is on the front of the Independent.

:01:06. > :01:09.`` the Mail on Sunday claims that a UKIP MEP is coaching candidates to

:01:10. > :01:16.emulate the public speaking techniques of Hitler. The Daily Star

:01:17. > :01:20.Sunday is reporting that UK airport staff are set to strike ore fears

:01:21. > :01:26.they will be the first to catch Ebola if it comes to the UK.

:01:27. > :01:31.Let us begin, Jo, Nigel, thank you for joining us as ever, as you said

:01:32. > :01:36.you have done this slot more than I have, probably. You could lead us

:01:37. > :01:40.through it. Shall I take the sport? That would be very good! There is

:01:41. > :01:44.not a lot. We were saying, you know, normally at this time of year, of

:01:45. > :01:49.course it is the silly season, with nothing. Not this year. There is

:01:50. > :01:53.nothing but doom and gloom and the most terrible story, and this Sunday

:01:54. > :01:57.Telegraph that we are starting with, this striking picture, save us from

:01:58. > :02:03.death, with the starving refugee, who are now trapped probably about

:02:04. > :02:08.150,000 of them, stuck up in the Iraqi mountain, where they are being

:02:09. > :02:12.purr `` pursued, escaping from the Islamic state, formally ISIS. The

:02:13. > :02:16.Telegraph is the first British newspaper to have a journalist

:02:17. > :02:20.there, Jonathan Crone, who has managed to get near, but the reports

:02:21. > :02:24.are appalling, and as you were reporting, in the new, we have Obama

:02:25. > :02:29.saying this is not going to be over quickly. But I think beyond the sort

:02:30. > :02:34.of the human horror, and human scale of this, is there are a lot of

:02:35. > :02:37.questions to be asked about how this has caught the international

:02:38. > :02:44.community, particularly America, and Europe, on the hop. I was talking to

:02:45. > :02:48.Christopher Hill, just about an hour ago on the BBC News channel about

:02:49. > :02:52.this very point. He said they didn't have that much intelligence from

:02:53. > :02:57.inside Iraq, from ISIS, now known has the Islamic state. You wonder

:02:58. > :03:02.why not, the amount of money America spends. Especially as they have been

:03:03. > :03:06.in Syria before, it might be new to us, but for the intelligence

:03:07. > :03:09.community wow would have thought they would be monitoring it. The

:03:10. > :03:13.trouble with President Obama talking about we are in for the long`haul,

:03:14. > :03:20.we don't have time, these people will die one day, I mean according

:03:21. > :03:25.to the Telegraph report, the heat is 50 degrees send grade. Yesterday's

:03:26. > :03:29.drop of food aid was useless, again, according to the Telegraph. It came

:03:30. > :03:32.down from 15,000 feet, without a parachute, burst all over the

:03:33. > :03:38.mountain, so it is things like that that are going on, you have to allow

:03:39. > :03:42.for the screw ups along the way, but the real problem is this has to

:03:43. > :03:47.happen now. Tomorrow is too late. He was talking about it being a kind of

:03:48. > :03:51.long project, but that was more about pushing back the Islamic state

:03:52. > :03:56.rather than helping these particular people. One of the things that Obama

:03:57. > :04:02.has to do, and I would rather hope Britain would help on this, is that

:04:03. > :04:06.you have to stop ISIS or IS as they call themselves now, you have to

:04:07. > :04:13.stop hem in their track, because if you don't, we will see much more of

:04:14. > :04:17.this, we are talking about something medieval brutality, crucifixion,

:04:18. > :04:20.beheadings, there are people being executed for not changing their

:04:21. > :04:27.religion, this is extraordinary stuff not seen in the world for 500

:04:28. > :04:31.years. The feed it is moving. Through Iraq and Lebanon is

:04:32. > :04:36.astonishing. I notice that Lord Dannatt is suggesting what sounds

:04:37. > :04:41.sensible, that actually you send in soldiers, to create a safe refuge,

:04:42. > :04:45.for people, while you try... Good luck in selling that. Absolutely,

:04:46. > :04:51.but you do that to keep these people safe while you as Nigel says you get

:04:52. > :04:55.rid of the, the march of the Islamic state. We saw this in Afghanistan,

:04:56. > :04:59.with the American bombing what they thought were convoys, only to find

:05:00. > :05:04.they were wedding parties and thing, so it is a nightmare. You can

:05:05. > :05:08.imagine this is a major headline in all the George Papaconstantinou ``

:05:09. > :05:12.papers. `` in the papers. Nigel. You

:05:13. > :05:18.mentioned this pointor, do with those poor people on the mountain,

:05:19. > :05:23.the Yazidi, the trouble is that air drops is not going to get them off

:05:24. > :05:27.the mountain. No, this is the important point. The next stage you

:05:28. > :05:31.have to think about is because the buzz words this week have been

:05:32. > :05:34.pre`Budget report shall response in Gaza, what is the pre`Budget report

:05:35. > :05:39.shall response in a situation like this? I would argue that you have

:05:40. > :05:45.got to stop ISIS in its track, and you certainly do it from the air,

:05:46. > :05:50.carpet bombing, whatever it takes, Britain should get involved, so

:05:51. > :05:54.should other western country, and a response to the kind of thing they

:05:55. > :06:00.are doing is to go in with massive force. What a dilemma. Let us turn

:06:01. > :06:09.the corner, stick with The Observer but look at the story that is above

:06:10. > :06:14.that Obama story. This man is 1.5 billion private equity firm buys

:06:15. > :06:17.this nursing home. Now they want to slash this care work's wages. It is

:06:18. > :06:24.an interesting story. There are pages of it in The Observer. With my

:06:25. > :06:28.sort of slightly cynical hat on, you think, well, it doesn't really take

:06:29. > :06:34.a huge newspaper like The Observer do this, all you have to do is to

:06:35. > :06:37.look in a local paper, and see the salary, the hourly Valerie that is

:06:38. > :06:42.offered to care workers, you know, you look round a lot of coastal

:06:43. > :06:46.town, a lot of the, you know, outside of London, places where

:06:47. > :06:52.these are the only jobs that people get, and they are by and large

:06:53. > :06:56.minimum wage, the story is about a Unison strike for, 50 carers for

:06:57. > :07:02.disabled people, in Doncaster have been on strike for seven weeks,

:07:03. > :07:05.because William Jackson, he who is photographed here, the Managing

:07:06. > :07:12.Director of bridge pointIcal Tam. They are a firm who are bought care

:07:13. > :07:19.UK and they own or are involved in some high street names, like fashion

:07:20. > :07:28.and food, retail. They have cut the care workers' wages by 25%, they are

:07:29. > :07:31.on the minimum wage, ?7 an hour. I don't know if you have had

:07:32. > :07:36.experience o dealing with care homes? I have. People will wonder

:07:37. > :07:40.how you can provide any standard of reasonable care when you are paying

:07:41. > :07:45.wages that are so low, and you are not counting the travel time... Who

:07:46. > :07:49.is making the profits? Absolutely. Let us go back to the Sunday

:07:50. > :07:54.Telegraph. Another story about care home, the headline, we failed

:07:55. > :07:59.elderly by being too scared of taking care homeowners to court,

:08:00. > :08:02.Watchdog admits as the Care Quality Commission which has come in for

:08:03. > :08:07.criticism. What do you make of this 1234 This is the head of the Care

:08:08. > :08:10.Quality Commission, think it is an appalling admission, frankly,

:08:11. > :08:15.broadly saying that when they found a home that was below par, if they

:08:16. > :08:19.felt any legal action was going to be taken against the Care Quality

:08:20. > :08:24.Commission, they backed off. So, so we have had years then, of no proper

:08:25. > :08:29.policing of the system. Now, of course, now, because of the horrors

:08:30. > :08:33.exposed recently, now they have to go in and we have a mandatory

:08:34. > :08:36.inspection regime coming in. High time too. You can see that if

:08:37. > :08:40.somebody in his position is admitting they didn't do the things

:08:41. > :08:46.that I were meant do at the time, we really do need this inspection

:08:47. > :08:50.procedure now. But it goes back to more than inspection, if you really

:08:51. > :08:54.care about how you look after elderly or disabled people, 234

:08:55. > :08:58.Doncaster it is disabled adult, but you have to pay people proper wages.

:08:59. > :09:04.That is probably right. The next question comes dough, should people

:09:05. > :09:09.be making a profit `` out of it? In our strike story. You could have a

:09:10. > :09:14.better headline that says we failed the elderly and have a list of the

:09:15. > :09:20.Governments for the last 20 years. The tail `` Daily Star Sunday. I am

:09:21. > :09:25.sure it is in your weekly reading. Big headline, Ebola, in red so we

:09:26. > :09:29.don't forget it is dangerous. Ebola UK airport staff set to strike. I

:09:30. > :09:34.only have the front`page of this. I only have the one paragraph on the

:09:35. > :09:38.top. But it says it all. It claims UK airport staff are terrified they

:09:39. > :09:44.are pretty much the front line. Who can blame them? As you say we only

:09:45. > :09:48.have the paragraph, a couple of sentence, staff at Heathrow and

:09:49. > :09:51.Gatwick have threatened to strike and really, mine, they are going to

:09:52. > :09:56.be the front line, because as far as we can tell from Ebola, it is very

:09:57. > :10:01.likely to combination somebody arriving on a plane. I did hear a

:10:02. > :10:05.woman from the relevant union the other day saying they had no

:10:06. > :10:09.briefing, no containment areas, I think what is astonishing it is the

:10:10. > :10:14.first time in my living memory the Daily Star has done a story. It is a

:10:15. > :10:17.real story, it is fascinating. I agree with you, you would be

:10:18. > :10:21.terrified. However, one rather assumes that you wouldn't just get

:10:22. > :10:28.an ordinary border guard seeing somebody with Ebola coming into the

:10:29. > :10:31.country. You would hope not. Shuffle your way to the Sunday Times, if you

:10:32. > :10:38.don't mind. This is interesting. I know you will have a lot to say

:10:39. > :10:48.about this. Baroness Warsi. Tories can't win the next election, is that

:10:49. > :10:52.sour grapes? Hell hath no fury. I think Baroness Warsi, she quit for

:10:53. > :10:57.principle reason, she wasn't happy in the first place, so there had

:10:58. > :11:01.been a lot of sniping, the argument was she wasn't up to being a senior

:11:02. > :11:05.minister in the way she was. There had been a lot of pressure on

:11:06. > :11:10.Cameron during the reshuffle to sack her. He didn't do so but he didn't

:11:11. > :11:15.promote her and she didn't like that either, so, in that sense, that

:11:16. > :11:20.there is a history behind this, it is not just a matter of the

:11:21. > :11:26.principle, however, one has to take her at her word, and in fairness she

:11:27. > :11:30.does think that the British policy over Gaza was not strident enough

:11:31. > :11:38.against Israel and that is why she resigned. It's a little bit Geoffrey

:11:39. > :11:43.Howe to Margaret Thatcher isn't it? Yes. Not quitting in the first

:11:44. > :11:46.place. Yes, what is interesting is that Gaza is off the front`pages at

:11:47. > :11:50.the moment because of what is happening in Iraq. She has scored a

:11:51. > :11:55.hit certainly. The whole thing is that our policy

:11:56. > :12:01.against Israel has not been good enough. We need to be Morrow bust

:12:02. > :12:06.about it. It's a pity some other ministers didn't say the same thing.

:12:07. > :12:14.Exactly. Is she right saying the Tories can't win the next election?

:12:15. > :12:18.Looking at the poles and the real votes cast, it looks like a minority

:12:19. > :12:26.Labour Government. It can change. Well, UKIP...

:12:27. > :12:31.That is it for The Papers this hour. Thank you to Jo and Nigel. You will

:12:32. > :12:33.be back at 11. 30, look forward to that. Before that, it's time for

:12:34. > :13:02.Reporters. Welcome to Reporters.

:13:03. > :13:07.We sent our correspondents to bring you the best stories from across the

:13:08. > :13:09.globe. In this week's programme: The changing face
