have taken preventative measures. Nigeria has created isolation | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
centres. Welcome to our look ahead at what | :00:00. | :00:20. | |
the papers will bring us tomorrow. With pep are Jo Phillips and the | :00:21. | :00:25. | |
editor of the Sunday People. Thank you for coming in. The front`pages. | :00:26. | :00:31. | |
Let us begin with the situation in Iraq, it dominates most of the front | :00:32. | :00:35. | |
pages as you can imagine. Save us from death says the Sunday | :00:36. | :00:39. | |
Telegraph. Obama vows to smash the militants in northern Iraq is the | :00:40. | :00:43. | |
headline in the Sunday Times, The Observer high lites how minority | :00:44. | :00:49. | |
communities are freeing from Islamic state fighters, and points out who | :00:50. | :00:53. | |
British aircraft have joined the relief effort. A picture of Baroness | :00:54. | :00:58. | |
wars Sir is on the front of the Independent. | :00:59. | :01:05. | |
`` the Mail on Sunday claims that a UKIP MEP is coaching candidates to | :01:06. | :01:09. | |
emulate the public speaking techniques of Hitler. The Daily Star | :01:10. | :01:16. | |
Sunday is reporting that UK airport staff are set to strike ore fears | :01:17. | :01:20. | |
they will be the first to catch Ebola if it comes to the UK. | :01:21. | :01:26. | |
Let us begin, Jo, Nigel, thank you for joining us as ever, as you said | :01:27. | :01:31. | |
you have done this slot more than I have, probably. You could lead us | :01:32. | :01:36. | |
through it. Shall I take the sport? That would be very good! There is | :01:37. | :01:40. | |
not a lot. We were saying, you know, normally at this time of year, of | :01:41. | :01:44. | |
course it is the silly season, with nothing. Not this year. There is | :01:45. | :01:49. | |
nothing but doom and gloom and the most terrible story, and this Sunday | :01:50. | :01:53. | |
Telegraph that we are starting with, this striking picture, save us from | :01:54. | :01:57. | |
death, with the starving refugee, who are now trapped probably about | :01:58. | :02:03. | |
150,000 of them, stuck up in the Iraqi mountain, where they are being | :02:04. | :02:08. | |
purr `` pursued, escaping from the Islamic state, formally ISIS. The | :02:09. | :02:12. | |
Telegraph is the first British newspaper to have a journalist | :02:13. | :02:16. | |
there, Jonathan Crone, who has managed to get near, but the reports | :02:17. | :02:20. | |
are appalling, and as you were reporting, in the new, we have Obama | :02:21. | :02:24. | |
saying this is not going to be over quickly. But I think beyond the sort | :02:25. | :02:29. | |
of the human horror, and human scale of this, is there are a lot of | :02:30. | :02:34. | |
questions to be asked about how this has caught the international | :02:35. | :02:37. | |
community, particularly America, and Europe, on the hop. I was talking to | :02:38. | :02:44. | |
Christopher Hill, just about an hour ago on the BBC News channel about | :02:45. | :02:48. | |
this very point. He said they didn't have that much intelligence from | :02:49. | :02:52. | |
inside Iraq, from ISIS, now known has the Islamic state. You wonder | :02:53. | :02:57. | |
why not, the amount of money America spends. Especially as they have been | :02:58. | :03:02. | |
in Syria before, it might be new to us, but for the intelligence | :03:03. | :03:06. | |
community wow would have thought they would be monitoring it. The | :03:07. | :03:09. | |
trouble with President Obama talking about we are in for the long`haul, | :03:10. | :03:13. | |
we don't have time, these people will die one day, I mean according | :03:14. | :03:20. | |
to the Telegraph report, the heat is 50 degrees send grade. Yesterday's | :03:21. | :03:25. | |
drop of food aid was useless, again, according to the Telegraph. It came | :03:26. | :03:29. | |
down from 15,000 feet, without a parachute, burst all over the | :03:30. | :03:32. | |
mountain, so it is things like that that are going on, you have to allow | :03:33. | :03:38. | |
for the screw ups along the way, but the real problem is this has to | :03:39. | :03:42. | |
happen now. Tomorrow is too late. He was talking about it being a kind of | :03:43. | :03:47. | |
long project, but that was more about pushing back the Islamic state | :03:48. | :03:51. | |
rather than helping these particular people. One of the things that Obama | :03:52. | :03:56. | |
has to do, and I would rather hope Britain would help on this, is that | :03:57. | :04:02. | |
you have to stop ISIS or IS as they call themselves now, you have to | :04:03. | :04:06. | |
stop hem in their track, because if you don't, we will see much more of | :04:07. | :04:13. | |
this, we are talking about something medieval brutality, crucifixion, | :04:14. | :04:17. | |
beheadings, there are people being executed for not changing their | :04:18. | :04:20. | |
religion, this is extraordinary stuff not seen in the world for 500 | :04:21. | :04:27. | |
years. The feed it is moving. Through Iraq and Lebanon is | :04:28. | :04:31. | |
astonishing. I notice that Lord Dannatt is suggesting what sounds | :04:32. | :04:36. | |
sensible, that actually you send in soldiers, to create a safe refuge, | :04:37. | :04:41. | |
for people, while you try... Good luck in selling that. Absolutely, | :04:42. | :04:45. | |
but you do that to keep these people safe while you as Nigel says you get | :04:46. | :04:51. | |
rid of the, the march of the Islamic state. We saw this in Afghanistan, | :04:52. | :04:55. | |
with the American bombing what they thought were convoys, only to find | :04:56. | :04:59. | |
they were wedding parties and thing, so it is a nightmare. You can | :05:00. | :05:04. | |
imagine this is a major headline in all the George Papaconstantinou `` | :05:05. | :05:08. | |
papers. `` in the papers. Nigel. You | :05:09. | :05:12. | |
mentioned this pointor, do with those poor people on the mountain, | :05:13. | :05:18. | |
the Yazidi, the trouble is that air drops is not going to get them off | :05:19. | :05:23. | |
the mountain. No, this is the important point. The next stage you | :05:24. | :05:27. | |
have to think about is because the buzz words this week have been | :05:28. | :05:31. | |
pre`Budget report shall response in Gaza, what is the pre`Budget report | :05:32. | :05:34. | |
shall response in a situation like this? I would argue that you have | :05:35. | :05:39. | |
got to stop ISIS in its track, and you certainly do it from the air, | :05:40. | :05:45. | |
carpet bombing, whatever it takes, Britain should get involved, so | :05:46. | :05:50. | |
should other western country, and a response to the kind of thing they | :05:51. | :05:54. | |
are doing is to go in with massive force. What a dilemma. Let us turn | :05:55. | :06:00. | |
the corner, stick with The Observer but look at the story that is above | :06:01. | :06:09. | |
that Obama story. This man is 1.5 billion private equity firm buys | :06:10. | :06:14. | |
this nursing home. Now they want to slash this care work's wages. It is | :06:15. | :06:17. | |
an interesting story. There are pages of it in The Observer. With my | :06:18. | :06:24. | |
sort of slightly cynical hat on, you think, well, it doesn't really take | :06:25. | :06:28. | |
a huge newspaper like The Observer do this, all you have to do is to | :06:29. | :06:34. | |
look in a local paper, and see the salary, the hourly Valerie that is | :06:35. | :06:37. | |
offered to care workers, you know, you look round a lot of coastal | :06:38. | :06:42. | |
town, a lot of the, you know, outside of London, places where | :06:43. | :06:46. | |
these are the only jobs that people get, and they are by and large | :06:47. | :06:52. | |
minimum wage, the story is about a Unison strike for, 50 carers for | :06:53. | :06:56. | |
disabled people, in Doncaster have been on strike for seven weeks, | :06:57. | :07:02. | |
because William Jackson, he who is photographed here, the Managing | :07:03. | :07:05. | |
Director of bridge pointIcal Tam. They are a firm who are bought care | :07:06. | :07:12. | |
UK and they own or are involved in some high street names, like fashion | :07:13. | :07:19. | |
and food, retail. They have cut the care workers' wages by 25%, they are | :07:20. | :07:28. | |
on the minimum wage, ?7 an hour. I don't know if you have had | :07:29. | :07:31. | |
experience o dealing with care homes? I have. People will wonder | :07:32. | :07:36. | |
how you can provide any standard of reasonable care when you are paying | :07:37. | :07:40. | |
wages that are so low, and you are not counting the travel time... Who | :07:41. | :07:45. | |
is making the profits? Absolutely. Let us go back to the Sunday | :07:46. | :07:49. | |
Telegraph. Another story about care home, the headline, we failed | :07:50. | :07:54. | |
elderly by being too scared of taking care homeowners to court, | :07:55. | :07:59. | |
Watchdog admits as the Care Quality Commission which has come in for | :08:00. | :08:02. | |
criticism. What do you make of this 1234 This is the head of the Care | :08:03. | :08:07. | |
Quality Commission, think it is an appalling admission, frankly, | :08:08. | :08:10. | |
broadly saying that when they found a home that was below par, if they | :08:11. | :08:15. | |
felt any legal action was going to be taken against the Care Quality | :08:16. | :08:19. | |
Commission, they backed off. So, so we have had years then, of no proper | :08:20. | :08:24. | |
policing of the system. Now, of course, now, because of the horrors | :08:25. | :08:29. | |
exposed recently, now they have to go in and we have a mandatory | :08:30. | :08:33. | |
inspection regime coming in. High time too. You can see that if | :08:34. | :08:36. | |
somebody in his position is admitting they didn't do the things | :08:37. | :08:40. | |
that I were meant do at the time, we really do need this inspection | :08:41. | :08:46. | |
procedure now. But it goes back to more than inspection, if you really | :08:47. | :08:50. | |
care about how you look after elderly or disabled people, 234 | :08:51. | :08:54. | |
Doncaster it is disabled adult, but you have to pay people proper wages. | :08:55. | :08:58. | |
That is probably right. The next question comes dough, should people | :08:59. | :09:04. | |
be making a profit `` out of it? In our strike story. You could have a | :09:05. | :09:09. | |
better headline that says we failed the elderly and have a list of the | :09:10. | :09:14. | |
Governments for the last 20 years. The tail `` Daily Star Sunday. I am | :09:15. | :09:20. | |
sure it is in your weekly reading. Big headline, Ebola, in red so we | :09:21. | :09:25. | |
don't forget it is dangerous. Ebola UK airport staff set to strike. I | :09:26. | :09:29. | |
only have the front`page of this. I only have the one paragraph on the | :09:30. | :09:34. | |
top. But it says it all. It claims UK airport staff are terrified they | :09:35. | :09:38. | |
are pretty much the front line. Who can blame them? As you say we only | :09:39. | :09:44. | |
have the paragraph, a couple of sentence, staff at Heathrow and | :09:45. | :09:48. | |
Gatwick have threatened to strike and really, mine, they are going to | :09:49. | :09:51. | |
be the front line, because as far as we can tell from Ebola, it is very | :09:52. | :09:56. | |
likely to combination somebody arriving on a plane. I did hear a | :09:57. | :10:01. | |
woman from the relevant union the other day saying they had no | :10:02. | :10:05. | |
briefing, no containment areas, I think what is astonishing it is the | :10:06. | :10:09. | |
first time in my living memory the Daily Star has done a story. It is a | :10:10. | :10:14. | |
real story, it is fascinating. I agree with you, you would be | :10:15. | :10:17. | |
terrified. However, one rather assumes that you wouldn't just get | :10:18. | :10:21. | |
an ordinary border guard seeing somebody with Ebola coming into the | :10:22. | :10:28. | |
country. You would hope not. Shuffle your way to the Sunday Times, if you | :10:29. | :10:31. | |
don't mind. This is interesting. I know you will have a lot to say | :10:32. | :10:38. | |
about this. Baroness Warsi. Tories can't win the next election, is that | :10:39. | :10:48. | |
sour grapes? Hell hath no fury. I think Baroness Warsi, she quit for | :10:49. | :10:52. | |
principle reason, she wasn't happy in the first place, so there had | :10:53. | :10:57. | |
been a lot of sniping, the argument was she wasn't up to being a senior | :10:58. | :11:01. | |
minister in the way she was. There had been a lot of pressure on | :11:02. | :11:05. | |
Cameron during the reshuffle to sack her. He didn't do so but he didn't | :11:06. | :11:10. | |
promote her and she didn't like that either, so, in that sense, that | :11:11. | :11:15. | |
there is a history behind this, it is not just a matter of the | :11:16. | :11:20. | |
principle, however, one has to take her at her word, and in fairness she | :11:21. | :11:26. | |
does think that the British policy over Gaza was not strident enough | :11:27. | :11:30. | |
against Israel and that is why she resigned. It's a little bit Geoffrey | :11:31. | :11:38. | |
Howe to Margaret Thatcher isn't it? Yes. Not quitting in the first | :11:39. | :11:43. | |
place. Yes, what is interesting is that Gaza is off the front`pages at | :11:44. | :11:46. | |
the moment because of what is happening in Iraq. She has scored a | :11:47. | :11:50. | |
hit certainly. The whole thing is that our policy | :11:51. | :11:55. | |
against Israel has not been good enough. We need to be Morrow bust | :11:56. | :12:01. | |
about it. It's a pity some other ministers didn't say the same thing. | :12:02. | :12:06. | |
Exactly. Is she right saying the Tories can't win the next election? | :12:07. | :12:14. | |
Looking at the poles and the real votes cast, it looks like a minority | :12:15. | :12:18. | |
Labour Government. It can change. Well, UKIP... | :12:19. | :12:26. | |
That is it for The Papers this hour. Thank you to Jo and Nigel. You will | :12:27. | :12:31. | |
be back at 11. 30, look forward to that. Before that, it's time for | :12:32. | :12:33. | |
