:00:00. > :00:00.Mercedes F1 team, and we will find out if St Helens sealed the league
:00:00. > :00:00.leaders' shield when they play against Warrington tonight. That is
:00:00. > :00:20.all in 15 minutes. Hello and welcome to our look ahead
:00:21. > :00:24.to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. With me are the
:00:25. > :00:27.broadcaster and journalist Henry Bonsu and the former minister for
:00:28. > :00:36.trade and investment Lord Digby Jones. Another familiar face. Good
:00:37. > :00:39.evening. This is how the front pages look. The Telegraph says that the UK
:00:40. > :00:42.is getting ready for war with Islamic State militants and that
:00:43. > :00:45.Cameron could launch air strikes in Iraq and Syria within weeks.
:00:46. > :00:48.The Guardian says the Prime Minister has pleaded with other world leaders
:00:49. > :00:51.not to give in to Islamic State's demands for ransoms.The Metro leads
:00:52. > :01:04.on the killing of an 82`year`old woman in Edmonton.
:01:05. > :01:13.The Mirror has a photo of the 82`year`old woman decapitated. The
:01:14. > :01:18.Express describes how illegal immigrants tried to storm ferries
:01:19. > :01:22.bound for Britain last night. The paper claims our border security is
:01:23. > :01:25.a shambles. The Mail has the same story. It says riot squads were sent
:01:26. > :01:37.into Calais after UK`bound migrants turned the port into a warzone.
:01:38. > :01:40.The FT says the president of the European Central Bank has caused
:01:41. > :01:42.jitters in the markets yesterday after cutting eurozone interest
:01:43. > :01:51.rates to a record low. The Scotsman has a photo of Joan Rivers, who died
:01:52. > :01:55.earlier today. Starting with the Guardian. Unlike other papers it is
:01:56. > :02:00.focusing more on the Prime Minister's protest over ransoms
:02:01. > :02:12.being paid for hostages, as well as looking at other things. He is very
:02:13. > :02:16.upset with other world leaders. He didn't mention France, Spain and
:02:17. > :02:19.Italy but it is widely believed that they have paid to get their people
:02:20. > :02:24.out of Iraq, Syria and other trouble spots. David Cameron is basically
:02:25. > :02:30.saying this is counter`productive. There is a quote. He says, what
:02:31. > :02:34.matters is not your signature on a declaration, world leaders need to
:02:35. > :02:41.agree they did not pay ransoms. He says not letting money be paid to
:02:42. > :02:44.terrorists, because that money goes into more kidnaps. He draws a very
:02:45. > :02:48.tough line. He admits it's a tough line, which could put people in
:02:49. > :02:54.greater danger, if they are being held now, but it is in the long run
:02:55. > :03:01.it's better for all of us. A lot of people would be surprised that
:03:02. > :03:08.ransoms would ever be paid. A lot of people would believe that line, we
:03:09. > :03:14.don't negotiate with terrorists. I think Britain and America don't.
:03:15. > :03:20.Margaret Thatcher, in 87, 88 or 89, do you remember in Beirut these guys
:03:21. > :03:23.were kidnapped? There were others. For that reason they remained
:03:24. > :03:30.kidnapped for a long time. And a couple were killed. She stood firm
:03:31. > :03:34.on this. This isn't new. This has gone on for years and European
:03:35. > :03:38.governments have paid out of ransoms when America and Britain happened.
:03:39. > :03:44.Somalia, with all the piracy and ships, that his ransom. It's right
:03:45. > :03:47.that he is doing something about it and using the current crisis to talk
:03:48. > :03:54.about it but please don't think this is new, this has gone on for 30
:03:55. > :04:00.years. Terrorism has been funded by kidnap ransoms for a long time.
:04:01. > :04:09.Interesting the penny has dropped with people who are taking people
:04:10. > :04:16.hostage. But there is an alternative purpose behind taking an American or
:04:17. > :04:21.Brit hostage. Global property. It tomorrow morning Ashman local
:04:22. > :04:28.publicity. If not a single terrorist act was put on the news tomorrow,
:04:29. > :04:35.maybe there wouldn't be terrorists. `` it is global public city. What
:04:36. > :04:37.they would love is for America and Britain to be drawn into this and
:04:38. > :04:54.The talk of war as well. A lot of get boots on the ground.
:04:55. > :05:04.talk about war. In fact pulling talk about war. In fact pulling
:05:05. > :05:08.troops out of. But Barack Obama is getting a lot of heat from
:05:09. > :05:12.Republicans and some Democrats, including Hillary Clinton. She will
:05:13. > :05:18.go for the presidency in a couple of years. For appearing to be on the
:05:19. > :05:25.back foot. People say Islamic State and Putin seemed to be taking the
:05:26. > :05:33.upperhand and David Cameron is trying to step in. He says he thinks
:05:34. > :05:38.we need to do more. We are prepared to go alongside the US, even though
:05:39. > :05:50.the US has asked for Britain to join in. You do have a war weary
:05:51. > :05:57.democratic capitalist. They have all come out of this enormous financial
:05:58. > :06:00.crisis. We have had in Iraq and Afghanistan being so debilitating on
:06:01. > :06:07.our national psyche. If you are Australia, France, Denmark, Holland,
:06:08. > :06:12.written, America, it has sapped the national will. And when you look at
:06:13. > :06:17.those countries, are they in a better position? For a
:06:18. > :06:20.democratically elected leader to go to the people and say, now is the
:06:21. > :06:28.time to come back on the front foot, it's a big start. The Times
:06:29. > :06:35.takes another angle. I found this amazing. Let us come home, say young
:06:36. > :06:40.British jihadists. A lot of people want to see more being done on the
:06:41. > :06:46.home front. This is astonishing. Extremely. Of course we have become
:06:47. > :06:50.used to hearing British voices in those horrific beheading videos and
:06:51. > :06:56.we hear that the British contingent among the jihadis of IS are
:06:57. > :07:02.overrepresented. But, according to the Times, there are a significant
:07:03. > :07:06.amount of British jihadis, about 20 `50, who want to come home. They are
:07:07. > :07:17.fighting fellow rebel groups and they have said this to study, but
:07:18. > :07:22.they say they are frightened of law and sentences. If this is true, it
:07:23. > :07:35.is interesting and new. I find this surprising. I saw one paragraph, and
:07:36. > :07:41.I allowed an ironic smile? `` am I. If they died fighting the rebels, or
:07:42. > :07:46.jihadist groups, they might not qualify for martyrdom and its
:07:47. > :07:50.benefits in paradise. I think getting public sympathy for that
:07:51. > :07:56.case will be difficult. But it shows a degree of brainwashing. But
:07:57. > :08:04.sympathy will be hard to get. North Sea franking will earn 300 Ilium
:08:05. > :08:11.pounds for Scotland. `` fracking. If you are Alex Salmond and Cameron
:08:12. > :08:18.says, "let's frack", for some reason it is awful. If he wants to do it
:08:19. > :08:26.for the benefit of Scotland its OK. It is called politics. In war, truth
:08:27. > :08:29.is the first casualty, right? Well, there is a war going on for the
:08:30. > :08:35.hearts and minds of the Scottish people. The truth is going straight
:08:36. > :08:38.through the floor. Interestingly, this report claims North Sea
:08:39. > :08:42.fracking could earn ?300 billion for Scotland. That's been produced by a
:08:43. > :08:49.business group. You should be supporting this. You are business.
:08:50. > :09:01.So every business group is right, is it? All wrong. `` or wrong? Get that
:09:02. > :09:07.chip off your shoulder! Every chip is on your shoulder. I Adam Peaty
:09:08. > :09:15.Manchester City in the premiership at the moment! `` am beating. It's a
:09:16. > :09:20.big concern. How an independent Scotland funds itself. This is a
:09:21. > :09:27.battle of minds and pockets. In the last few days, it isn't a matter of
:09:28. > :09:37.minds any more, this is all about heart. This is all about Braveheart
:09:38. > :09:46.playing the wallet. This is about the heart. For the last few days, it
:09:47. > :09:49.is... Isn't it about both? I would like to think so. I would like to
:09:50. > :09:53.think that people of Scotland will decide on the economic ability to
:09:54. > :09:57.pay for the Scotland they want. I think they will vote with their
:09:58. > :10:01.hard. In the end, when in the privacy of the voting booth, they
:10:02. > :10:06.will be thinking about who they are as a Scot, who are as a bridge, and
:10:07. > :10:11.where they see the country going. You don't think they will be
:10:12. > :10:14.thinking about taxing and funding? We are sitting here in London as
:10:15. > :10:23.Norman Scots but we don't have a vote. `` non`Scots. They are
:10:24. > :10:30.breaking up our country without letting us having a say in the
:10:31. > :10:35.matter. But at the end of the day it is arrogant for us to say, this is
:10:36. > :10:41.what they are going to do. They will vote with their hearts. Moving on.
:10:42. > :10:46.The Daily Mail. Calais is besieged by gangs of migrants. Obviously
:10:47. > :10:51.reporting of the huge number of men who try to get onboard vessels
:10:52. > :10:57.heading for Dover. Riot squads were sent in. We are talking about 250 or
:10:58. > :11:01.so people. They are giving this the full treatment on the front page.
:11:02. > :11:05.This is because a significant amount of network desperate. Some of them
:11:06. > :11:12.take weeks and months to get across, to go to Dover, going through
:11:13. > :11:21.several different EU states. They say, go through, go to Britain. The
:11:22. > :11:24.last stage is Calais. The mayor has accused Britain of being a soft
:11:25. > :11:30.touch and has asked David Cameron to say Britain isn't all milk and
:11:31. > :11:36.honey, the streets paved with gold. Interestingly, I don't think we have
:11:37. > :11:46.seen this, Wezzoo many people get sick of waiting and they stormed
:11:47. > :11:57.through. `` where so many people. I did that, I did the path of the way
:11:58. > :12:00.through Greece, France. By the time they get to France, they are very
:12:01. > :12:05.wary. They tell border guards they want to get to Britain. In my
:12:06. > :12:10.experience they were given deportation cards, which essentially
:12:11. > :12:13.moves them onto the next country. As long as they go towards Britain.
:12:14. > :12:21.Something The Daily Mail has been reporting on for a while is a review
:12:22. > :12:26.of the tyre asylum seeking system. So instead of telling David Cameron
:12:27. > :12:32.to get his cheque`book out, why doesn't Calais ask Italy or Turkey
:12:33. > :12:39.why they moved them on? Isn't who knows? That's the EU. And we should
:12:40. > :12:43.look at the sheer numbers of people crossing the borders. The UN has
:12:44. > :12:53.only just looked at this, the huge number of people crossing Europe.
:12:54. > :12:56.Moving on to the Scotsman. It has a wonderful picture of Joan Rivers,
:12:57. > :13:04.who of course died last night. The headline, and acid tongue silence. I
:13:05. > :13:07.wonder what she would make of that? She would probably think it was
:13:08. > :13:22.rather good and see it as a cop lament. `` continent. Social media
:13:23. > :13:30.has been going off since then. She reportedly said something about the
:13:31. > :13:34.Palestinians in Gaza deserve to die for not getting out of the way, and
:13:35. > :13:41.people were very angry about that. When she fell into a coma, people
:13:42. > :13:45.said it is karma. But people said not to be so cruel because her life
:13:46. > :13:47.is so much more than these horrible comments. I thought it was
:13:48. > :13:51.interesting way different papers looked at this. There was one
:13:52. > :13:57.headline who called the Queen of comedy. That was in the Express.
:13:58. > :14:02.Queen of bad taste in The Daily Mail. Acid tongue in the Scotsman.
:14:03. > :14:07.It is interesting. Was she the Queen of comedy? For a long time she was.
:14:08. > :14:15.She paved the way for so many comics. In some common `` quarters
:14:16. > :14:18.that makes you popular. She got a star on the walk of Fame about 30
:14:19. > :14:30.years ago. She has been around a very long time. `` Walk of Fame. She
:14:31. > :14:33.did make history. But there are many people who will be coming to her
:14:34. > :14:38.fresh in recent weeks and months and would be morning in the same way. I
:14:39. > :14:42.found her very funny at times. She was brilliant with 1`liners but she
:14:43. > :14:46.could be very hot tempered. Would you have bought a ticket to see
:14:47. > :14:52.her? No, not my kind of thing. I would. I remember her having an
:14:53. > :14:58.awful argument that people were shocked and silenced because she was
:14:59. > :15:03.apparently uncomfortable with the term black. She thought he was
:15:04. > :15:08.calling her a racist and she was very angry and swore at him. Perhaps
:15:09. > :15:12.she was a nice person, I didn't see that side of her. I saw the acid
:15:13. > :15:21.tongue comedian and the blowouts on air. There are many people who will
:15:22. > :15:25.be saying, there you go. We had two comedians inspired by her in the
:15:26. > :15:32.studio earlier. They said one of the reasons why she got away with such
:15:33. > :15:39.controversial 1`liners is because she also delivered 1`liners about
:15:40. > :15:42.herself. I saw that. When it was about the journey through grief can
:15:43. > :16:01.be lessened and prepared for by humour, that was clear when she used
:16:02. > :16:02.typical Jewish humour. Sometimes when you are a Jewish
:16:03. > :16:14.Because people think you have suffered. You are bullet`proof and
:16:15. > :16:15.you can say what you like. And she had an ability to take it out on
:16:16. > :16:28.herself. Which people admire. Would Did I find her funny? I did at
:16:29. > :16:29.times. `` probably not. And she wasn't trying to be funny, her
:16:30. > :16:30.comment about the Palestinians. was her opinion. Given what we
:16:31. > :16:40.thought we knew about the story, that seemed to be going too far. It
:16:41. > :16:49.would be death, like she did. In 2010 she
:16:50. > :17:05.He could I told you wasn't feeling recognise
:17:06. > :17:08.He could I told you wasn't feeling very well, absolutely marvellous.
:17:09. > :17:15.Thank you for joining us to discuss the papers. And it ended with a
:17:16. > :17:16.laugh. Joan Rivers would have liked it. Thank you for watching.
:17:17. > :17:30.Sportsday is next. Hello and welcome to Sportsday. I'm
:17:31. > :17:34.Nina Warhurst. The collision in Belgium could cost Lewis Hamilton or
:17:35. > :17:39.Nico Rosberg their place on the team ` the warning tonight from Mercedes'
