:00:00. > :00:00.There were more golds for Great Britain in the IPC European
:00:00. > :00:00.athletics Championships in Swansea. All of the details coming up in 15
:00:07. > :00:19.minutes on the Next sports day after the papers.
:00:20. > :00:21.Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers
:00:22. > :00:25.With me are the journalist Lucy Cavendish and
:00:26. > :00:30.Thank you for joining us this evening.
:00:31. > :00:41.All of the paper 's lead with the murder of a US journalist James
:00:42. > :00:44.Foley by Islamic State militants. The Independent says Britain and
:00:45. > :00:48.America can no longer ignore the rise of the caliphate in Syria and
:00:49. > :00:52.Iraq. The express says the masked man who appears in the Islamic State
:00:53. > :00:59.video is now the world's most wanted man. The Telegraph leads with David
:01:00. > :01:05.Cameron asking for patients in tackling British jihadists. The
:01:06. > :01:09.metro says British Muslims are helping police and security services
:01:10. > :01:13.to track down extremists in the UK. The Guardian says experts are racing
:01:14. > :01:18.to identify the militant in the video who spoke with a British
:01:19. > :01:23.accident. Let's begin with our look and we will start this evening with
:01:24. > :01:30.the Guardian. As we were saying most of the papers are dominated by this
:01:31. > :01:35.video and the indications of it. Apart from the obvious tragedy of
:01:36. > :01:38.this story it didn't break terribly happily for the papers in terms of
:01:39. > :01:44.the timing. They will be trying to come up with new lines. I think that
:01:45. > :01:50.is exactly the problem. When I woke up this morning it was all over the
:01:51. > :01:54.media and this shows you newspapers are behind. Online they are not but
:01:55. > :02:00.in terms of your newspaper in your hand they have defined a new angle
:02:01. > :02:04.because everyone has almost read about the story. A horrible and
:02:05. > :02:07.horrific story. They all have to go on and make a decision about what
:02:08. > :02:12.photographs and pictures they choose to show and do not choose to show.
:02:13. > :02:18.The Guardian has gone for a close`up of this man who everybody is trying
:02:19. > :02:26.to work out who you is. Potentially he is from here. They believe him to
:02:27. > :02:29.have the first named John. This is apparently it. Lots of lingo stick
:02:30. > :02:35.experts have obviously been analysing the video, and think that
:02:36. > :02:40.he is from the London area. That is the big story for the newspapers
:02:41. > :02:44.that is running. And not just the papers poring over trying to find
:02:45. > :02:48.out who this man is but the security and intelligence services also. That
:02:49. > :02:54.gives plenty of background materials for the papers to go at. This has
:02:55. > :02:57.got to be the angle now, who is this person and who are the people behind
:02:58. > :03:02.it? The Prime Minister says it looks like it was a Britain. As the
:03:03. > :03:07.Guardian itself has reported extensively, with intercepts of
:03:08. > :03:11.mobile phone records and this sort of thing, there is the opportunity
:03:12. > :03:14.for the security services to check the voice, not only by experts
:03:15. > :03:19.assessing geographically where they come from but actual recordings they
:03:20. > :03:24.may have. With these capabilities they may put them into play at the
:03:25. > :03:28.moment. For the newspapers this will be the story, who is this person?
:03:29. > :03:31.Not much to go on, the accident and the shape of the head but we cannot
:03:32. > :03:36.see much. The Guardian has interviewed a former hostage in Iraq
:03:37. > :03:41.who recognised this individual and said he was one of three who were
:03:42. > :03:45.involved in a number of hostage situations. So, yes, this will
:03:46. > :03:50.occupy people for some time to identify this person. The subheading
:03:51. > :03:55.on the Guardian says experts raced to identify London, but the main
:03:56. > :03:59.headline, manhunt for a British murderer with hostages' fate in his
:04:00. > :04:01.hands. That is also the angle effectively being taken slightly
:04:02. > :04:07.differently now on the Daily Telegraph as well. It has a fuller
:04:08. > :04:17.picture but with the headline: Another life in British jihadists'
:04:18. > :04:19.hands. Lucy, that is a big concern because it is estimated there are
:04:20. > :04:24.several journalists who have been captive in various parts of the
:04:25. > :04:27.Middle East. It has changed the relationship between journalists and
:04:28. > :04:31.what is going on. In years gone by, many years ago, there was a white
:04:32. > :04:35.flag raced over journalists because they were doing a job and reporting.
:04:36. > :04:42.I think they felt relatively immune from being captured and paraded and
:04:43. > :04:46.used in the way that is happening now. We were discussing earlier
:04:47. > :04:51.about why that is and there is some idea there is a rise in social media
:04:52. > :04:55.and TV that actually gives some weight to capturing journalists and
:04:56. > :04:59.parading them in this way. The photograph on the front of the Daily
:05:00. > :05:02.Telegraph is shocking of another journalist. And obviously
:05:03. > :05:07.journalists have lost their lives over many years, Mary Cole Bill lost
:05:08. > :05:12.her life. We know it is a frightening thing to do and a brave
:05:13. > :05:17.thing to do. `` Marie Colvin. And they are trying to expose some of
:05:18. > :05:21.the issues at stake here. Absolutely. I'm sure it was the same
:05:22. > :05:26.here in the BBC newsroom and the Reuters newsroom, the topic of
:05:27. > :05:30.conversation for people who had concerns for colleagues in this
:05:31. > :05:39.situation. Incredibly dignified statements from the family of Mr
:05:40. > :05:44.Foley today, making those points. Obviously the talk here was this was
:05:45. > :05:47.revenge for the attack. The suggestion perhaps that if there are
:05:48. > :05:56.further attacks other journalists would be at risk. I suspect the US
:05:57. > :06:00.won't put too much weight on that. It is an immediate reaction to these
:06:01. > :06:06.events. One could argue that these kind of events are as much targeted
:06:07. > :06:10.in engaging the US to provoke a reaction as much as they are some
:06:11. > :06:14.kind of revenge attack. Looking onto the Independent, we often get
:06:15. > :06:19.headlines that tell us what the next step is, or where we are going. I
:06:20. > :06:24.wish he would tell me what the next step is. The Independent is asking
:06:25. > :06:32.that very question, it has a map of where it says IS is present. It
:06:33. > :06:38.seems quite confusing. Where do we go from here? It's a very open
:06:39. > :06:41.question. Yes and I hope I will open the Independent tomorrow and find
:06:42. > :06:46.out what the answer is it is right now I don't think anyone has an
:06:47. > :06:50.answer. Tom and I were discussing various possibilities, the entire
:06:51. > :06:54.world going in there to stop it happening which is not possible. I
:06:55. > :06:58.don't know, I suspect people are sitting there wondering where we are
:06:59. > :07:01.going from here. President Obama says he will not change his policy.
:07:02. > :07:05.There is another journalist on the front page of the Telegraph looking
:07:06. > :07:11.in a desperate position and we are in a desperate state. I've no idea
:07:12. > :07:14.what the answer to that is. It seems to be a Catch`22 situation. On the
:07:15. > :07:18.one hand the obvious answer is to go in and take some kind of military
:07:19. > :07:21.action. There are so many problems with doing that, not least of them
:07:22. > :07:27.is the concern that that removes pressure on the Baghdad government,
:07:28. > :07:32.sorry, Baghdad's new leader to come up with a more inclusive government
:07:33. > :07:37.than al`Maliki had. This paper captures it, we have to do something
:07:38. > :07:40.that we don't know what it is. We have to be clear. The atrocities
:07:41. > :07:47.have been happening before this. This has just brought it into our
:07:48. > :07:51.Muliaina, this person, we think this John is from the UK. The beheadings
:07:52. > :07:57.and burying people alive, this has been a terrible state of affairs
:07:58. > :08:00.over the past few weeks. David Cameron returning from holiday and
:08:01. > :08:03.many said that he should have returned early and parliament should
:08:04. > :08:06.have been recalled. The pressure is mounting on the government to do
:08:07. > :08:14.something. It's easier to say to do something but what? The situation in
:08:15. > :08:17.Syria has now changed as well. I imagine there will have to be
:08:18. > :08:23.patience which is what he is what he's calling for. And I can see
:08:24. > :08:28.continued pressure for trying to get something done on the Prime
:08:29. > :08:35.Minister. Absolutely. Britain has not been to the fore of this in the
:08:36. > :08:40.way the US and France and Germany. It is difficult for Germany to get
:08:41. > :08:46.involved overseas because of their background. Perhaps there will be
:08:47. > :08:49.pressure and the UK will move forward in those areas like
:08:50. > :08:54.providing arms. It is a tragic story, but let's move on to a
:08:55. > :09:00.slightly lighter note, back to the Guardian. It is the second story
:09:01. > :09:06.with the headline: GCSE changes disadvantage to schools with tough.
:09:07. > :09:12.It is GCSE results day tomorrow so the clock is ticking down. This
:09:13. > :09:17.story, Lucy, particularly poignant in so many households. Poignant in
:09:18. > :09:19.many households, especially ones whose children have taken their
:09:20. > :09:27.AS`level is and find them downgraded. We will not say who. We
:09:28. > :09:30.will not name any names. Not just in the Cavendish house but across the
:09:31. > :09:34.board. I would not be happy about these downgradings and upgrading is
:09:35. > :09:38.and telling pupils what their A*s are and now they are C grades. It is
:09:39. > :09:42.incredibly confusing is and they keep changing the system, one minute
:09:43. > :09:48.they are going back to a levels, the next year getting rid of AS`level
:09:49. > :09:50.is. It leaves pupils in a difficult position and I imagine there are
:09:51. > :09:54.lots of people waiting for their results tomorrow thinking, what is
:09:55. > :09:58.going to happen to me? And they may not get to carry on and do the
:09:59. > :10:03.things they want to do and that's not great. You cannot keep saying
:10:04. > :10:06.you were an a grade student at now a C grade student. What is being said
:10:07. > :10:11.here is the government's decision to effectively take the exams at the
:10:12. > :10:16.end rather than stagger them will affect some schools much more than
:10:17. > :10:20.others. Exactly. It is a he says she says kind of story. Some schools
:10:21. > :10:25.have a preference for staggering them, as you said, and the waiting
:10:26. > :10:30.macro is currently 60 ` 40 towards coursework and that will be inverted
:10:31. > :10:34.`` waiting. They say this will not have a negative impact and nobody
:10:35. > :10:39.will be hurt but it is such high stakes for the individuals. You can
:10:40. > :10:42.say there has been grade inflation and the Department for Education
:10:43. > :10:44.should do something about that but at the end of the day individual
:10:45. > :10:52.children will have their futures at risk. The statistics say boys do
:10:53. > :10:56.better taking lots of exams at the end rather than girls who work more
:10:57. > :11:00.steadily over the year. Moving on to the last story we are going to cover
:11:01. > :11:03.this hour. Back to the Daily Telegraph and a story I know that
:11:04. > :11:08.you are keen to comment on. I don't know if it was because it was a bad
:11:09. > :11:12.weekend, but how to keep your barbecue food safe. Do you want to
:11:13. > :11:17.explore that? As a Reuters journalist I don't usually like to
:11:18. > :11:21.offer opinions on things but they say we should not barbecue things,
:11:22. > :11:26.we should cook it in the oven and lightly singe it on the outside. To
:11:27. > :11:30.give it a horrible barbecue flavour! Not to burn it is too much because
:11:31. > :11:34.then it would have carcinogenic build`ups. The fun of the barbecue
:11:35. > :11:41.might be lost by doing that. Have you got a fancy one? He has a gas
:11:42. > :11:45.one, it is not a barbecue, it is a total fake. You cannot have a gas
:11:46. > :11:50.barbecue. You are not a fan of barbecues? I'm sick of them, it is
:11:51. > :11:55.always covered in horrible soot and the chicken is or was pink and
:11:56. > :12:01.everybody gets sick. I think they should ban barbecues. Strong stuff,
:12:02. > :12:06.Lucy. Thank you very much for your input this hour. It big thanks to
:12:07. > :12:11.Lucy and Tom and they will be back with me in about an hour's time for
:12:12. > :12:15.another look at the stories making the news tomorrow. Stay with us on
:12:16. > :12:18.BBC News because at 11pm we will have more on the international
:12:19. > :12:23.outrage after the murder of American journalist James Foley by an
:12:24. > :12:38.Islamist militant. Next it is time for sports day.
:12:39. > :12:45.Welcome to sports day. I'm John Akehurst. Celtic grab an away goal
:12:46. > :12:49.in their Champions League qualifier against MK marabou and draw 1`1 in
:12:50. > :12:54.the end. Malky Mackay has not had the best of days. He won't be the
:12:55. > :12:55.new Palace boss and his former
