:00:00. > :00:00.fans. We have reaction to the Champions League draw as Liverpool

:00:00. > :00:00.are set to take on Real Madrid and we round up the action from tonight

:00:07. > :00:16.Europa League. That is up in 15 minutes after the Papers.

:00:17. > :00:22.Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing

:00:23. > :00:24.us tomorrow. With me are is Kate Devlin, political correspondent of

:00:25. > :00:31.the Herald and live from Glasgow is Susan Stewart from Women for

:00:32. > :00:36.Independence. Welcome to both of you and thank you for being with us.

:00:37. > :00:40.Tomorrow's front pages. The Financial Times says David Cameron

:00:41. > :00:45.is scrambling to restore order in his party after the defection of the

:00:46. > :00:49.leading Tory Eurosceptic MP Douglas Carswell to UKIP. The express leads

:00:50. > :00:53.with the same story, saying the move threatens to split the party. The

:00:54. > :00:58.Daily Telegraph reports on the prospects of more MPs following Mr

:00:59. > :01:02.Carswell to UKIP. Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are pictured are as

:01:03. > :01:05.they are on many front pages. The Guardian leads on the crisis in

:01:06. > :01:10.Ukraine and the indications that hundreds of Russian troops are

:01:11. > :01:16.involved. The Metro leads on the scandal in Rotherham and the report

:01:17. > :01:23.that police try to disprove victim accounts. The Daily Mail says

:01:24. > :01:27.Conservative MPs have talks with UKIP. The Times says David Cameron

:01:28. > :01:33.is warned to brace himself for more defections in the coming months.

:01:34. > :01:36.And, baking bad, the Sun focuses on the great British bake off and the

:01:37. > :01:43.controversy over eight ruined baked Alaska. Rest assured, we will do the

:01:44. > :01:48.Sun in a few minutes. We will kick off with the Daily Mail, leading

:01:49. > :01:53.with the headline, eight more Tories in UKIP talks. Kick us off, Susan,

:01:54. > :02:00.with the Tate on problems facing David Cameron and news of Douglas

:02:01. > :02:04.Carswell's defection. Indeed, every political work in London will be

:02:05. > :02:08.looking for others in the Tory party looking to defect and the Daily Mail

:02:09. > :02:11.claims to have eight. This gets serious for the Prime Minister and a

:02:12. > :02:19.guess the question is how he will respond. `` I guess. One wonders and

:02:20. > :02:24.one worries if he will adopt tougher anti` European rhetoric and shift

:02:25. > :02:29.the Tory party even further to the political right in relation to

:02:30. > :02:33.Europe. Thereby, shifting political gravity again in Westminster and a

:02:34. > :02:37.game creating a political culture. Particularly around Europe, which is

:02:38. > :02:43.increasingly out of sync with the views of the Scots. It is a little

:02:44. > :02:47.disappointing that none of the front pages or not many of the London

:02:48. > :02:51.based front pages have analysed today's news in relation to

:02:52. > :02:57.Scotland's referendum which is three weeks today, we will all have voted.

:02:58. > :03:04.That seems astonishingly myopic in my view. Kate, one word in the

:03:05. > :03:11.coverage. It goes on to talk about suggestions that nine Conservatives

:03:12. > :03:18.have dined with the UKIP doughnut, Stuart Wheeler and that it might be

:03:19. > :03:26.significant. `` donor. I think they were trying to persuade more. One

:03:27. > :03:34.hell of a Kunar. It has come off. `` one hell of a coup. It has been a

:03:35. > :03:37.difficult day for David Cameron and this raises all sorts of problems

:03:38. > :03:42.going into the future, not least will the Conservative party start

:03:43. > :03:49.obsessing about Europe again and tearing itself apart, but very

:03:50. > :03:52.interesting to see that it doesn't seem as if, despite their

:03:53. > :03:57.protestations and best efforts, the Conservatives have a handle on this

:03:58. > :04:03.at the moment. Does Susan have a point about the Scottish view about

:04:04. > :04:06.this? The interaction between the Scottish referendum and the EU

:04:07. > :04:09.referendum has been incredibly interesting because it clearly

:04:10. > :04:12.blindsided number ten and they weren't expecting it. They thought

:04:13. > :04:18.it would be two separate issues and they thought the two would never

:04:19. > :04:23.meet. `` Number Ten. They have had a lot of traction arguing the main

:04:24. > :04:27.threat to Scotland's membership isn't independence, it is David

:04:28. > :04:32.Cameron, which we will come to. Kate suggests that on the front page. I

:04:33. > :04:37.had we come to that. We will. Scottish Premiership to the EU has

:04:38. > :04:41.been debated during the referendum campaign with doubts in some circles

:04:42. > :04:47.cast about how the relationship would be established if Scotland

:04:48. > :04:50.vote yes `` Scottish membership. It was one of the early scare tactics

:04:51. > :04:57.of the campaign towards the end of 2012. It has been resolved by the

:04:58. > :05:03.slew of European experts who have said that actually, there would be

:05:04. > :05:08.no problem and Scotland's population have been citizens of the European

:05:09. > :05:11.Union for 40 years and there position would be relatively short

:05:12. > :05:14.and the process would be relatively straightforward so, any traction

:05:15. > :05:19.that it would have had at the beginning of the campaign, it has

:05:20. > :05:25.been a long one, has dissipated and indeed, most people are beginning to

:05:26. > :05:28.realise the safest way and best way of ensuring Scotland stays in the

:05:29. > :05:33.European Union is a yes vote on September 18. Pro union politicians

:05:34. > :05:38.would completely disagree, they would say it is not true. They would

:05:39. > :05:41.admit they would have hoped to line it up with a win for them and the

:05:42. > :05:46.fact that the issue has been muddied on this one isn't what they would

:05:47. > :05:51.have hoped for. Let's move on because there is more to cover. The

:05:52. > :05:54.front page of the times and while that leads with further domestic

:05:55. > :05:58.politics there is a line about Russia and Ukraine `` Times. Kate, a

:05:59. > :06:05.reference about what Nato are saying in Ukraine. Yes. They are taking a

:06:06. > :06:09.strong line on this. This is interesting because of the dramatic

:06:10. > :06:14.scenes we have seen in Ukraine today and the struggle that is happening

:06:15. > :06:19.across the international community on how to deal with it. Nato is

:06:20. > :06:23.particularly interesting because David Cameron is hosting in Newport

:06:24. > :06:26.next week, a Nato summit, in which he said a couple of weeks ago that

:06:27. > :06:32.he is hoping to convince them that more is needed is just a complete

:06:33. > :06:36.change in Nato's relationship with Russia. His hand will be

:06:37. > :06:40.strengthened by this. I think there will still be a lot of deep

:06:41. > :06:44.negotiations in Wales next weekend. Let's stay with this story but move

:06:45. > :06:48.onto the next newspaper, Susan, namely, the Guardian. The

:06:49. > :06:55.interesting point about the headline is the worried, in faded, we have

:06:56. > :06:59.been invaded, Kiev accuses Russia. That carries all sorts of legal

:07:00. > :07:01.implications `` invaded. The Ukrainian President says further

:07:02. > :07:09.down the story that Russian forces have entered Ukraine and Western

:07:10. > :07:16.leaders said that there will be consequences. As yet, they are

:07:17. > :07:19.undefined. One gets the sense that Nato and other Western leaders are

:07:20. > :07:24.talking tough but I think that particularly the Prime Minister will

:07:25. > :07:28.be conscious that Durm mood of the country will not be for any kind of

:07:29. > :07:33.precipitous action, particularly after Iraq et cetera `` that the

:07:34. > :07:37.mood. One gets the sense through the front pages of a rise in the

:07:38. > :07:44.rhetoric without necessarily anyone being terribly clear what exactly

:07:45. > :07:49.Nato should do. The United Nations were debating this tonight as well.

:07:50. > :07:54.They were. Strong language there as well. From the American ambassador.

:07:55. > :07:57.Before we move on, it was interesting, Kate, to see the press

:07:58. > :08:02.conference with President Obama and he was asked if he regarded this as

:08:03. > :08:04.an invasion. He came out with this strong language we have shown all

:08:05. > :08:10.the headlines but he didn't repeat the word. He didn't. So far, no

:08:11. > :08:14.world leader has. It will be interesting to see if they back up

:08:15. > :08:18.here. They have been very strong about this. The Scottish Daily Mail

:08:19. > :08:23.has a poll on independence. Union on a knife edge. Poll shock as yes camp

:08:24. > :08:28.narrows gap to six points. I don't doubt, Susan, you are pleased by

:08:29. > :08:38.that. I point out that you are still in second place on this. Yes. Is

:08:39. > :08:42.this significant? What is your take ? It would back the trend in other

:08:43. > :08:45.polls that the gap is tightening between the note and the yes

:08:46. > :08:50.campaigns and undoubtedly, I am not sure when the fieldwork for this

:08:51. > :08:54.poll was done, it was after the debate, and the first minister it

:08:55. > :08:58.was said one big debate handsomely `` of the No campaign. It has not

:08:59. > :09:02.been a great week. They had a broadcast out on Tuesday night that

:09:03. > :09:09.was lampooned widely on social media and thought to be incredibly sexist

:09:10. > :09:15.and located perhaps in the 1950s, in Don Draper land. Today, of course,

:09:16. > :09:19.they had David Cameron's visit, which isn't wholly positive for the

:09:20. > :09:26.No campaign. Not a good week. Certainly, the yes campaigners have

:09:27. > :09:31.felt that the opinion polls have not been picking up the critical sector

:09:32. > :09:36.of the population, those who have never voted before perhaps because

:09:37. > :09:40.they thought it wasn't worth it and who, when the expressed an intention

:09:41. > :09:46.to vote in the referendum, they will overwhelmingly vote Yes. Name on. It

:09:47. > :09:55.will be very tight in September the 18th, even the Daily Mail says so ``

:09:56. > :09:59.game on. Kate, came on? In some ways, yes. Three weeks ago. This is

:10:00. > :10:04.too close to comfort for the No campaign. `` came on. It is

:10:05. > :10:08.resetting it, taking it back to the same poll for the same newspaper one

:10:09. > :10:13.month ago. It is suggesting the TV debates cancelled each other out.

:10:14. > :10:16.That is interesting. What has happened is essentially that Alex

:10:17. > :10:20.Salmond managed to end on a high. I don't know if Susan will agree.

:10:21. > :10:26.Whether the momentum continues and whether a poll set next week shows

:10:27. > :10:30.it is continuing, will be interesting. This is far too close

:10:31. > :10:34.for what the pro union party would have wanted at this stage.

:10:35. > :10:38.Especially when you compare it with six weeks ago, or two months ago,

:10:39. > :10:46.when the mood in the No campaign was buoyant and we were reported... It

:10:47. > :10:49.was reported that Labour and story were complacent and thought it was

:10:50. > :10:52.done and dusted and it is clearly not. People don't always tell the

:10:53. > :10:56.pollsters what they will end up doing in the actual confines of the

:10:57. > :11:00.ballot, which is what is worth pointing out. We saw that in 2011.

:11:01. > :11:05.We have seen it on a number of occasions in the last 20 years in

:11:06. > :11:15.different elections. Tell us more Kate. This is a dramatic thing that

:11:16. > :11:20.happened in Glasgow this evening. David Cameron went to speak to the

:11:21. > :11:28.CBI to give basically a strong speech on the dangers of Scottish

:11:29. > :11:32.independence to business and before he gave his speech, the president of

:11:33. > :11:36.the CBI, sir Michael Rake, stood up and told the Prime Minister to his

:11:37. > :11:40.face that the EU referendum that David Cameron has promised in 2017

:11:41. > :11:45.was causing problems for business and it is very embarrassing `` Sir.

:11:46. > :11:48.Not only does it fit into the issues that business have around this, but

:11:49. > :11:53.it also feeds into the wider independence debate. It is

:11:54. > :11:59.interesting, Susan, because you made reference only on to what you saw as

:12:00. > :12:03.the contrasting view towards the EU in Scotland as a pose to the rest of

:12:04. > :12:05.the UK and presumably you would argue that this story further

:12:06. > :12:15.that narrative if you like. Absolutely. I think that the word

:12:16. > :12:17.humiliation isn't too strong. Not in the Herald headline. If there is one

:12:18. > :12:23.audience a Tory Prime Minister traditionally would have expected a

:12:24. > :12:29.fairly warm welcome, it is the CBI. And, for the president of the CBI to

:12:30. > :12:35.criticise a Tory Prime Minister in relation to Europe suggests the

:12:36. > :12:39.scale of the urgent on matters European north and south of the

:12:40. > :12:43.border. Not a good night for the Prime Minister and I am sure that

:12:44. > :12:50.people in the No campaign will be licking their wounds and wondering

:12:51. > :12:54.what else can go wrong this week. Says somebody from the Yes campaign

:12:55. > :12:57.I should point out in the interest of maintaining a degree of balance

:12:58. > :13:02.in this. Talking of balance, let's move on to the front of the Sun.

:13:03. > :13:05.This is a fantastic headline. And, extraordinarily story. I encourage

:13:06. > :13:15.you both as you tell it to throw lots of unleaded into what you are

:13:16. > :13:19.about to tell me `` allegeds. Kate, tell us more. Taking bad. First of

:13:20. > :13:27.all, this is a fantastic headline, taking bad. Who knew that date

:13:28. > :13:33.Alaska could cause so much scandal. It is all about the bait off and the

:13:34. > :13:40.episode they show the other night and Allah `` allegations of

:13:41. > :13:49.sabotage. There were allegations of a stitch up. To be fair and I speak

:13:50. > :13:53.someone as a Masterchef girl than a great British bait off, but the chap

:13:54. > :14:06.who went to Alice Gatt collapsed and he said that he, under dirty diet,

:14:07. > :14:11.are at best of chums. `` Dirty Di. It is self`referential and cheeky.

:14:12. > :14:17.`` are the best of chums. It might be a wee bit of fuss over nothing in

:14:18. > :14:22.terms of the Bake Alaska war. I love the complaints. Viewers complained.

:14:23. > :14:27.When people call up they normally complain about TV. Apparently, he

:14:28. > :14:30.was complained that the Bake Alaska was taken out of the other when it

:14:31. > :14:34.should not have been. I think that it is great that people are so

:14:35. > :14:40.caught up on this. Was it the other or the freezer? The freezer. I am

:14:41. > :14:43.sorry. Stand corrected. The reason it collapsed was because it came out

:14:44. > :14:47.of the freezer and he accused her of doing that and then it melted. Did

:14:48. > :14:50.he? The ice cream melted but I'm not sure if he accused her of doing that

:14:51. > :14:55.or if it were the viewers who thought she had done that because

:14:56. > :15:00.certainly, today, he is quoted as saying they are the best of chums.

:15:01. > :15:37.She says she was up. Yes. In the end,

:15:38. > :15:41.wedding and good luck to them, I guess. I am claiming this is a great

:15:42. > :15:46.old`fashioned local news story that emerged when he was at a museum in

:15:47. > :15:51.Devon doing a junket for his latest film and it was noticed he was

:15:52. > :15:57.wearing a wedding ring. So, someone spotted it. And, word got out. Hats

:15:58. > :16:00.off to the person who spotted it. Time is up. Thank you very much

:16:01. > :16:06.indeed for reviewing the front pages for us. Kate and Susan. Stay with us

:16:07. > :16:10.on BBC News. At midnight, the latest on the political fallout following

:16:11. > :16:17.the defection of Douglas Carswell to the UK Independence the. Coming up

:16:18. > :16:32.now, it is time for Sportsday. `` UK Independent Party. In

:16:33. > :16:34.Hello and welcome to Sportsday with me,
