:00:00. > :00:00.explosions. Action heroes take to the big screen. Plus, all of this

:00:00. > :00:20.week's other top releases. Hello and welcome to our look ahead

:00:21. > :00:25.to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. With me are Tim

:00:26. > :00:30.Montgomerie from the Times and James Millar from the Sunday Post.

:00:31. > :00:33.Tomorrow's front pages. The Financial Times claims many global

:00:34. > :00:40.banks may no longer be able to count on the support of the US Federal

:00:41. > :00:43.Reserve if they get into trouble. The Telegraph carries an interview

:00:44. > :00:45.with the Defence Secretary Michael Fallon, in which he says British

:00:46. > :00:48.fighter planes and surveillance aircraft are being used in the fight

:00:49. > :00:52.against the Islamic State fighters in Iraq.

:00:53. > :01:03.The Guardian also leads on that story. Below a picture of Britain's

:01:04. > :01:06.successful 4x100 metre women's relay squad. The Metro has the latest on

:01:07. > :01:09.the group of Afghan Sikhs found inside a shipping container in

:01:10. > :01:13.Tilbury Docks. The paper calls it a "metal coffin".

:01:14. > :01:15.The Express says the Prime Minister will announce the creation of

:01:16. > :01:18.specialist welfare teams designed to target what it calls "Britain's

:01:19. > :01:20.worst families". The Times leads on British

:01:21. > :01:26.intervention in Iraq and also claims that an independent Scotland could

:01:27. > :01:29.ditch the monarchy. The Mail warns that Britain is being

:01:30. > :01:36.dragged deeper into the conflict in Iraq. The Mirror reports from what

:01:37. > :01:46.it calls the "hell" of a clinic, dealing with Ebola sufferers in

:01:47. > :01:50.Liberia. Plenty to choose from. Let's start with the Mail. The

:01:51. > :01:56.headline, Britain dragged deeper into Iraq conflict. Do you want to

:01:57. > :02:14.start with this, James? Interesting headline. Being dragged in is an

:02:15. > :02:21.interesting way of phrasing that. The Mail obviously believes we are

:02:22. > :02:26.being cautious about what we do in Iraq. There's all this talk about an

:02:27. > :02:32.extended mission. But no clear word on what that mission is and how far

:02:33. > :02:38.we are going to end up owing. And talk about this being weeks and not

:02:39. > :02:43.months? Yes. I wonder whether it will be more than that. My

:02:44. > :02:47.understanding is that David Cameron does want to intervene to tackle

:02:48. > :02:51.ISIS, not just to deal with the immediate humanitarian crisis, which

:02:52. > :02:56.is why the Mail is unhappy. It wants a limited intervention, just to

:02:57. > :03:01.focus on the plight of the Yazidi people on the mountaintop. The Prime

:03:02. > :03:04.Minister believes this Islamic State controls so much territory now, has

:03:05. > :03:11.so much money, is so sophisticated in its techniques, we don't tackle

:03:12. > :03:15.it now, before it gets even more power and influence, it will cause

:03:16. > :03:19.problems not just in the region but potentially threaten us. He doesn't

:03:20. > :03:24.want to get too far ahead of public opinion. That the angle taken by a

:03:25. > :03:32.lot of papers. Interesting, the word "dragged". The Mail sorry to be are

:03:33. > :03:36.being dragged in and the Prime Minister is actually wanting us to

:03:37. > :03:42.be more and more involved. But he may get some resistance from the

:03:43. > :03:47.Mail if he does go that way. Over to the Times. A story about Scotland.

:03:48. > :03:55.This should definitely go to you, Tim. An independent Scotland could

:03:56. > :04:03.lose the royal family. There is a rather difficult quote from the

:04:04. > :04:08.director of global policy institute. They will go for a republican system

:04:09. > :04:15.within the EU, the paper says. Is an interesting one. It's not

:04:16. > :04:17.desperately new, as it points out. The justice secretary raised the

:04:18. > :04:28.prospect this year of a referendum on elected state. That was in the

:04:29. > :04:32.Sunday Post. Slightly stronger than words from the director of the

:04:33. > :04:38.policy institute. Not quite sure why they have given this quite so much

:04:39. > :04:42.of the show, other than perhaps because there is the argument in the

:04:43. > :04:50.Scottish independence referendum, that continue to be kicked around,

:04:51. > :04:55.and there aren't many new arguments. I can see the newsdesk thinking it's

:04:56. > :05:01.a Scottish independence stories they will whack it on the front page. I'm

:05:02. > :05:05.not sure whether I'm allowed to say this but I am bored about the

:05:06. > :05:10.independence debate. We've had all of the arguments rehearsed. Perhaps

:05:11. > :05:13.if it was close, it was going to be a close run thing, it might be poor

:05:14. > :05:19.exciting. But all of the opinion polls since just `` seem to suggest

:05:20. > :05:25.that the union cause, the no vote, is gaining support. Not some of the

:05:26. > :05:32.papers in Scotland. The polls... The average does seem to suggest a no

:05:33. > :05:36.vote. Some show it closer. But this is obviously a story to try to take

:05:37. > :05:39.the debate into new territory. But I say God save the Queen and hopefully

:05:40. > :05:48.we will have the Queen for much longer! It does save the Queen is

:05:49. > :05:55.known to be strongly prounion. If you need to state that in a news

:05:56. > :06:00.story... And Scottish Nationalists are split on the monarchy. The yes

:06:01. > :06:06.camp is undoubtedly split on this. Alex Salmond says it will keep the

:06:07. > :06:13.monarchy. But there are many in the broader yes movement who are opposed

:06:14. > :06:19.to that decision. Going back to the Daily Express. Welfare squads target

:06:20. > :06:25.problem families. Who would have thought this. They say more than

:06:26. > :06:28.500,000 households in the UK are effectively costing so much in terms

:06:29. > :06:34.of benefits and problems, the paper says, had initially there were

:06:35. > :06:40.120,000 problem families. The latest initiative would target a for the ``

:06:41. > :06:46.a further 400,000. That seems a very wide reaching number of people. It

:06:47. > :06:50.was about three years ago that we had the London riots. This was an

:06:51. > :06:56.initiative that followed those riots. One of the civil servants in

:06:57. > :07:01.Whitehall was given the responsibility of tackling this.

:07:02. > :07:04.What we discovered in those riots was a small number of families

:07:05. > :07:08.seemed to be the cause of an awful lot of the social disorder, not only

:07:09. > :07:14.that we saw on London streets be generally. The Sunday times story

:07:15. > :07:18.today, that the Express is following up, some families were calling out

:07:19. > :07:24.the police two or three times a week. Someone visiting GPs multiple

:07:25. > :07:29.every month. The burden of these families on our welfare services has

:07:30. > :07:37.been so great. This is an initiative really that the said also that his

:07:38. > :07:40.running `` that is being run to ensure that one person is

:07:41. > :07:44.responsible for their problems and to try to co`ordinate help for them.

:07:45. > :07:47.This is a really good example of government intervention working and

:07:48. > :07:55.tackling the serious social problem. Are you convinced? This is

:07:56. > :07:59.a Tory government intervening in families. David Cameron and the

:08:00. > :08:03.Tories like to see families as the building blocks of society. But they

:08:04. > :08:11.are also supposed to be about nonintervention. This is intervening

:08:12. > :08:15.in a very conservative way. But the Conservatives aren't libertarians.

:08:16. > :08:18.Some believe they are against government completely. Every

:08:19. > :08:21.Conservative government spent a lot of money on the state. Social

:08:22. > :08:25.services. This is about ensuring that money is spent not picking up

:08:26. > :08:28.pieces of the families and communities have fallen apart, but

:08:29. > :08:35.spending it earlier to keep families together. The reason the Express

:08:36. > :08:40.talks about this is the Prime Minister is going to give a big

:08:41. > :08:43.speech on the family tomorrow. I think he will probably be

:08:44. > :08:52.disappointed that it is only the Express that has it on the front

:08:53. > :08:56.page. Iraq is of course dominating the news and wiping everything else

:08:57. > :09:05.of the page. Even what we believe is going to be in it, that's why we ``

:09:06. > :09:09.they chose not to cover it. Off to the Independent. The headline,

:09:10. > :09:15.struggling hospitals in denial of a poor care. This in an interview with

:09:16. > :09:22.a professor, who is effectively saying as chief inspector of

:09:23. > :09:25.hospitals that are hard core of struggling hospitals are in denial

:09:26. > :09:32.about quality of care. Very worrying. I am always the first to

:09:33. > :09:36.knock story that aren't worth a front page. I think this is a good

:09:37. > :09:41.exclusive. The professor is a serious name, a serious player,

:09:42. > :09:47.given the stuff that went on at Mid Staffordshire hospital and various

:09:48. > :09:58.other hospitals. It is very worrying. They don't seem to be

:09:59. > :10:03.learning their lessons. The latest in a series of rather scary NHS

:10:04. > :10:07.health stories. Yes. We don't seem to be seeing what I think the

:10:08. > :10:13.government certainly wanted, that when we have these bad stories we

:10:14. > :10:17.will get some of the worst hospitals beginning to emulate the better

:10:18. > :10:22.hospitals. In the NHS theirs and `` there's enormous diversity. But we

:10:23. > :10:28.also have some of the worst hospitals, as well as the best. This

:10:29. > :10:32.inspectorate, alongside transparency, where we get

:10:33. > :10:35.statistics from hospitals on how they are performing, in terms of

:10:36. > :10:40.treating cancer or death rates, that allows us to at least understand

:10:41. > :10:45.which hospitals are falling behind and which perhaps need emergency

:10:46. > :10:49.intervention. Of course it goes on that always grab the headlines. OK.

:10:50. > :11:02.Daily Telegraph. House prices. The Daily Telegraph reports a sharp fall

:11:03. > :11:06.in house prices, apparently. It's a crazy market. We've had all these

:11:07. > :11:11.stories from the last couple of years, which I haven't really

:11:12. > :11:16.understood, of booming house prices. Some London boroughs going up by

:11:17. > :11:19.20%. This seems to be some kind of correction to that. I think it

:11:20. > :11:23.probably was too much froth in the market. But it's not great for the

:11:24. > :11:27.Conservatives in a way, the head of an election. If people think the

:11:28. > :11:31.house prices are falling, and potentially we have interest rates

:11:32. > :11:35.on the way up at the end of this year, early next year, it is not an

:11:36. > :11:39.ideal mix. Of course for people trying to get on the housing ladder,

:11:40. > :11:43.it's good news. But young people don't vote in the same number as

:11:44. > :11:50.homeowners. So, we have a bit of a problem. Bad news for government?

:11:51. > :11:56.Basically, this is good for the country, good for people because

:11:57. > :11:59.they need to be able to afford to buy houses in that sense that if

:12:00. > :12:04.you've already got a house you don't want to think that your net wealth

:12:05. > :12:09.is decreasing. That will affect how you vote at the ballot box,

:12:10. > :12:20.hopefully. This is optimism, the last story in the Guardian.

:12:21. > :12:23.Britain's women's 4x100 team celebrating. I don't know how often

:12:24. > :12:29.picture editors have three victories to choose from. The cricket, the

:12:30. > :12:36.athletics and the women's rugby. Interesting that the Guardian has

:12:37. > :12:42.gone for the athletics, which is possibly the least significant. But

:12:43. > :12:47.perhaps it is the most sustained success. Have you been following any

:12:48. > :12:53.of these? It's a great moment for women's sport, especially in the

:12:54. > :12:58.rugby. We have the Times, the Telegraph and the Express, all with

:12:59. > :13:05.pictures of women in sport. Great to see it properly applauded and

:13:06. > :13:11.recognised. Thank you very much, Tim and James. That's it for the sour.

:13:12. > :13:18.Stay with us on BBC News. Peshmerga fighters have been closing in on a

:13:19. > :13:23.strategic dam in northern Iraq, as the US launches as strikes on

:13:24. > :13:26.Islamic State positions. Coming up next, The Film Review.
