:00:00. > :00:00.Sherwood is still in the frame. More goals for Great Britain at the
:00:00. > :00:17.athletics championships in Swansea. We will have all the details in 15
:00:18. > :00:20.minutes after the Papers. Hello and welcome to our look ahead
:00:21. > :00:23.to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. With me are the
:00:24. > :00:29.journalist Lucy Cavendish and Reuters correspondent Tom Bergin.
:00:30. > :00:32.Thanks both for joining us this evening. Tomorrow's front pages
:00:33. > :00:35.first. The majority of the papers lead with the murder of US
:00:36. > :00:37.journalist James Foley by Islamic State militants.
:00:38. > :00:39.The Independent says Britain and America can no longer ignore the
:00:40. > :00:40.rise of a caliphate in Syria and Iraq.
:00:41. > :00:43.America can no longer ignore The Express says the masked man who
:00:44. > :00:47.appears in the Islamic State video is now the world's most wanted man.
:00:48. > :00:50.The Telegraph says David Cameron has asked for patience in tackling
:00:51. > :00:52.British jihadists British Muslims are helping police and security
:00:53. > :01:00.services to track down extremists in the UK, according to the Metro.
:01:01. > :01:03.The Guardian says experts are racing to identify the militant in the
:01:04. > :01:10.video who spoke with a British accent.
:01:11. > :01:17.The Mail claims the jihadist in the video has been identified as a
:01:18. > :01:22.Londoner known as John. The times says he's now a top target
:01:23. > :01:25.for MI5, MI6 and the SAS. Meanwhile, the Financial Times leads
:01:26. > :01:27.with the split within the Bank of England over whether there should be
:01:28. > :01:40.an interest rate rise. Let's begin. As we have been saving,
:01:41. > :01:46.newspapers dominated by the story about James Foley. `` saying. The
:01:47. > :01:49.Times has the angle that the hunt is on for the man featured in the video
:01:50. > :01:59.who it looks like might well be British. This is the next phase in
:02:00. > :02:05.the story from the point of view of the newspapers, certainly, we have
:02:06. > :02:09.had the news very well covered today by the news channels and internet
:02:10. > :02:16.websites. The focus today is on this individual. Obviously, the fact that
:02:17. > :02:25.he is British is shocking. There are questions as to who he is. They use
:02:26. > :02:30.voice recognition software. Looking at the accent he has and where he is
:02:31. > :02:37.from. Apparently, east London is the area they are focusing on. The
:02:38. > :02:42.authorities will have snippets of the recording they could compare
:02:43. > :02:46.with other intercepted phone calls. The hope is they might be able to
:02:47. > :02:54.identify the individual. It will be a tough task. In the video, he has a
:02:55. > :02:58.small amount of face showing. It will be a very tough task. I would
:02:59. > :03:06.like to comment on the picture on the front of the times, because it
:03:07. > :03:12.is extremely moving. `` the Times. They look absolutely devastated. It
:03:13. > :03:18.rings the story home in a human way. Going back to the manhunt `` brings.
:03:19. > :03:23.There is some sense that he has form, that he has been out there for
:03:24. > :03:28.quite sometime and has risen to some sort of rank. It seems relatively
:03:29. > :03:35.unbelievable that no one knows who he is or has any sense of who he is.
:03:36. > :03:40.As the Guardian says, they have said he has been involved in hostage
:03:41. > :03:45.negotiations. He has come from some work, he hasn't appeared from
:03:46. > :03:50.nowhere. You mentioned the Guardian. Looking at the headline, similar but
:03:51. > :03:56.different, manhunt for a British murderer with hostages' fate in his
:03:57. > :04:06.hands. That refers to the fact that there are other journalists still
:04:07. > :04:10.held hostage. There might be 20. The photograph and video images released
:04:11. > :04:15.show one of the other individuals currently being held with threats
:04:16. > :04:17.made against his life. The threats are that if there are further
:04:18. > :04:28.airstrikes, airstrikes. The policy is that there
:04:29. > :04:34.wouldn't be any quid pro quo. These people are very much at risk. Syria
:04:35. > :04:39.has become one of the most dangerous areas for reporters at the moment.
:04:40. > :04:46.The statistics are horrific. Both in terms of deaths and kidnappings.
:04:47. > :04:50.This puts a shiver down people's spines. The news from Reuters and
:04:51. > :04:54.elsewhere, this was a focus of discussion as well as being the
:04:55. > :04:58.story people were working on. Lucy, the way that it was reported to have
:04:59. > :05:07.been done in this video, and as the parents say, they feel haunted. It
:05:08. > :05:11.makes me feel so, so upset, the thought that you could actually see
:05:12. > :05:17.that happening to your own child is absolutely appalling. As I said
:05:18. > :05:23.before, the Islamic State have been committing all sorts of atrocities,
:05:24. > :05:27.they have been beheading people and children have been holding up
:05:28. > :05:30.pictures of head as if it is true the hunting and crucifixions and
:05:31. > :05:33.women and children being buried alive. Something has got to happen.
:05:34. > :05:40.The world is absolutely shocked by what is going on. It's not just this
:05:41. > :05:44.story. There are journalists out there covering this story, trying to
:05:45. > :05:48.interest people in what is happening and they are losing their lives. A
:05:49. > :05:52.quick look at the Telegraph. Again, same story, different headline, and
:05:53. > :06:02.different news of the picture involved, another life in British
:06:03. > :06:07.jihadist's hands. Another journalist parading in front of the cameras. No
:06:08. > :06:14.doubt, pressure on politicians in America and the UK. Something must
:06:15. > :06:20.be done. But, what? Of course, the independent very much focuses on
:06:21. > :06:25.that as well. There is a Catch`22 `` the Independent. It isn't an easy
:06:26. > :06:29.situation become involved in. We know that from previous involvement
:06:30. > :06:33.in Iraq. There are also, occasions because Western governments are keen
:06:34. > :06:35.to pressure Baghdad to come up with a conclusive government than was
:06:36. > :06:42.previously there under Nouri al`Maliki. The feeling is that if
:06:43. > :06:45.the US intervenes too readily, it removes the pressure on the
:06:46. > :06:48.government in Iraq and in Baghdad to be more inclusive and again, that
:06:49. > :07:00.might recreate the conditions that help foster Islamic State. Might
:07:01. > :07:07.inclusive of who? The Sunnis Mac. `` Sunnis. He referred to the front
:07:08. > :07:14.page of the Independent. There is a map on the front, which the red
:07:15. > :07:21.areas where it says, ISIS residents. `` presence. A lot of the headlines
:07:22. > :07:23.are quite, this is happening, that is happening, though where it are
:07:24. > :07:30.quite, this is happening, that is happening, though where do we go
:07:31. > :07:43.from here? I would be interested to know what is said on it. No wonder
:07:44. > :07:50.it `` no one does have the answer. Hopefully, the Independent can give
:07:51. > :07:53.us some pointers stalwart no doubt, despite the terrible tragedy, this
:07:54. > :07:58.is a situation that would be days or weeks, we suspect it won't he ``
:07:59. > :08:05.might be months or weeks. There won't be rapid military involvement.
:08:06. > :08:08.Perhaps, a step up for military support for the Kurds. It seems that
:08:09. > :08:15.France and Germany are moving closer to that. There isn't evidence that
:08:16. > :08:20.this is something that will be... I don't think it can just be up to the
:08:21. > :08:27.Kurds, you know, to get rid of this. It is a difficult situation.
:08:28. > :08:33.Other stories making the headlines. Let's look at the Financial Times
:08:34. > :08:37.because there has been... This got swept away early in the news agenda
:08:38. > :08:44.about interest rates. The headline that the Bank of England split
:08:45. > :08:48.signals end to era of low rates because two members suggested rates
:08:49. > :08:54.should rise. We are at an historic low of 0.5 of 1% and it looks as
:08:55. > :08:58.though the pressure is growing and it is likely to come. The pound
:08:59. > :09:03.strengthened because of that. This was unexpected. It probably would
:09:04. > :09:07.have been the news story of the day is it wasn't for other advents. We
:09:08. > :09:11.have had record low interest rates for a long period of time because
:09:12. > :09:16.the economy has been in the doldrums. Now, it looks like things
:09:17. > :09:22.have been turning. People weren't expecting murders of that bank to be
:09:23. > :09:29.voting for hikes. We aren't out of the doldrums yet. Recently, it has
:09:30. > :09:32.been weak. I am not sure how many viewers feel comfortable, especially
:09:33. > :09:38.with wage disinflation, whether they feel ready for interest`rate right,
:09:39. > :09:45.rise. This is really the question. `` interest`rate rise. Those with
:09:46. > :09:48.mortgage debt, this is a big story. This is a very bad idea for those
:09:49. > :09:51.with debt. Most people don't think the standard of living has gone up
:09:52. > :10:00.and most people's wages haven't gone up. I think it will be crippling for
:10:01. > :10:04.the average person. The timing could be interesting. If they are looking
:10:05. > :10:10.at spring next year it will be close to the general election. I would sit
:10:11. > :10:18.on it if I was them. They are independent, I think. They will be
:10:19. > :10:23.happy about it. Might be some interesting conversations between
:10:24. > :10:25.the Exchequer and... There might be hopes with certain people in the
:10:26. > :10:31.Exchequer that that move would be taken. It is on a knife edge and
:10:32. > :10:36.there is a political gain here as well, a backdrop, but of course,
:10:37. > :10:39.there is the Monetary Policy Committee which are independent. So,
:10:40. > :10:45.yes, they shouldn't be taking account of these things. Lastly, we
:10:46. > :10:51.return to the Guardian, which this time has a story about GCSE. In
:10:52. > :10:56.about ten hours, there will be the opening of envelopes, protecting,
:10:57. > :11:00.e`mails, results coming through. You have a look about a mum who has been
:11:01. > :11:04.there, done that. I have been there and I have done that. This
:11:05. > :11:07.particular story suggests that because of the way that the recent
:11:08. > :11:13.changes to exams have been made, which is that they are awaited at
:11:14. > :11:17.the end, the results I weighed at the end, rather than taking stages,
:11:18. > :11:25.that the seeds and `` is advantages of some schools `` weighed. Yes, and
:11:26. > :11:29.I am fed up with this changing idea of what is right and what isn't
:11:30. > :11:32.right. On the other hand, we have this thing where people were tested
:11:33. > :11:37.over a period of time. Now, suddenly, it is at the end, so that
:11:38. > :11:40.people I know who have taken their GCSEs at this year take the entire
:11:41. > :11:45.summer sitting the exam. That is very difficult. They need to sort
:11:46. > :11:50.out what they are doing. Exam grades are fluctuating massively. There are
:11:51. > :11:59.students tomorrow who will wake up expecting to get As and they will
:12:00. > :12:06.suddenly get Cs. It is very disappointing and concerning on a
:12:07. > :12:08.personal. What it seems that too many must have accrued without hard
:12:09. > :12:15.exams at the end, which is what Michael Gove was doing. It is not
:12:16. > :12:22.just the ability to perform. But what about those who say that life
:12:23. > :12:26.isn't like that? In one sense, if you are coming at it from the point
:12:27. > :12:30.of view of employers, you want employees to deliver well all the
:12:31. > :12:35.time, not just to be occasionally great. You can make the argument
:12:36. > :12:43.both ways. This is a technical issue and it is shifting the balance from
:12:44. > :12:47.60`40 back to 40`60. People of the future depend upon it. It is
:12:48. > :12:50.difficult to know exactly what the facts of this case are and I suppose
:12:51. > :12:57.this is why it ends up being, on the one hand, a risk, but the education
:12:58. > :13:01.regulator says there is no risk, no one will be disadvantaged. Lucy, is
:13:02. > :13:07.said that girls tend to perform worse than boys in this system,
:13:08. > :13:11.anyway. Girls perform better in coursework because, you know, we are
:13:12. > :13:14.well`behaved and put our energy and effort into it, whereas the boys
:13:15. > :13:20.wait and then cram massively and do a big flurry at the end. I think it
:13:21. > :13:30.is sexist, actually. Guilty as charged. It will affect many, many
:13:31. > :13:35.people. Thank you very much indeed. That is it for the papers this
:13:36. > :13:41.evening. Thanks to our guests. Stay with us here at on BBC News because
:13:42. > :13:43.at midnight we have more on the international outrage after the
:13:44. > :13:47.murder of James Foley I an Islamist militant. Coming up next, it's time
:13:48. > :13:50.for Sportsday.
