:00:00. > :00:17.Italian Grand Prix, all in Sportsday in 15 minutes, after The Papers.
:00:18. > :00:25.Wellcome to our look at what the newspapers will bring us tomorrow.
:00:26. > :00:30.With me is James Miller of the Sunday Post, and joining us from
:00:31. > :00:34.Glasgow is Jean Freeman from Women for Independence. Thank you for
:00:35. > :00:39.being with us tonight. Let's look at the front pages of the morning
:00:40. > :00:42.papers. The Daily Mail leads the story claiming some of our biggest
:00:43. > :00:46.banks have been intimidating customers. NATO leaders gaze at a
:00:47. > :00:50.fly past on the cover of the Independent on the day they set up a
:00:51. > :01:04.rapid reaction force to defy Russia over Ukraine. The FT has the same
:01:05. > :01:07.picture but talks about a new bid by the no camp to halt the charge of
:01:08. > :01:09.nationalists in the Scottish referendum. The Daily Telegraph says
:01:10. > :01:11.Britain could become involved in a three`year battle with Islamist
:01:12. > :01:14.militants. Five yet `` five old Ashya King dominates the front page
:01:15. > :01:17.of the Guardian. He is going to Prague. The express says there is
:01:18. > :01:21.outrage at claims that police are dropping rate prosecutions. The
:01:22. > :01:24.Times carries a picture of the American president at Stonehenge
:01:25. > :01:31.following the NATO summit in Newport.
:01:32. > :01:34.Let's begin with the Telegraph. The headline, three`year battle to
:01:35. > :01:40.degrade and destroy ISIL, the Islamic State, the militants who
:01:41. > :01:44.have been cutting a swathe across Syria and Iraq, Britain signs up to
:01:45. > :01:48.coalition led by the United States, and the Prime Minister of verses a
:01:49. > :01:52.plan to mothball an aircraft carrier. When you read into this
:01:53. > :01:58.article, Jean, it feels like we have been here before, very reminiscent
:01:59. > :02:05.of the Iraq war. It does. I found it quite disturbing an article to read
:02:06. > :02:11.because we have a number of assertions and statements and no
:02:12. > :02:16.clear plan, certainly in the article, no clear acknowledgement
:02:17. > :02:21.that there needs to be some kind of democratic process behind this. So
:02:22. > :02:25.we have the commitment to 1000 troops, the idea of the rapid
:02:26. > :02:30.reaction force, but we do not have much of an idea, so far at least,
:02:31. > :02:37.about exactly what that force would do. The article also tells us that
:02:38. > :02:46.not every member of NATO is as convinced of this as the UK and the
:02:47. > :02:50.US are, and again, that does have a close of having been here before.
:02:51. > :02:57.And indeed Germany and particular is somewhat reticent. They are.
:02:58. > :03:02.Reticent, and also reticent in terms of whether the principal target, if
:03:03. > :03:05.you like, is the Islamic State, or whether in the view of Germany, we
:03:06. > :03:10.shouldn't be more concerned about what is going on in Afghanistan and
:03:11. > :03:15.Ukraine. Certainly it struck me in the past week that we have not had a
:03:16. > :03:22.lot of attention to what was going on in Ukraine, and I wondered if
:03:23. > :03:26.that was the wise course to take, to be so focused on what is happening
:03:27. > :03:31.outside Europe, knowing what might be happening here. Let me turn to
:03:32. > :03:36.James. Often there is talk of a mandate, having a mandate to take
:03:37. > :03:39.action of this type. How is this mandate in comparison with the one
:03:40. > :03:45.they thought they had against Saddam Hussein? There is an element of
:03:46. > :03:48.having been here before, certainly, I was particularly struck by the
:03:49. > :03:54.three`year battle, this sounds like it will be over by Christmas, the
:03:55. > :03:59.three`year figure is picked out of nowhere, but it is different to
:04:00. > :04:03.Iraq, because these guys are baddies... You know, we know they
:04:04. > :04:07.are doing horrific things, beheadings, they have a British
:04:08. > :04:11.hostage. In Iraq they had to come up with a dossier and the evidence, the
:04:12. > :04:15.evidence that these guys need to be dealt with is very clear, and in
:04:16. > :04:21.that sense I think there is a moribund mandate, more of a public
:04:22. > :04:25.feel that something must be done. `` more of a mandate. In the Telegraph,
:04:26. > :04:30.Ashya King, the five`year`old boy who needs brain tumour treatment
:04:31. > :04:33.being given permission to fly to Prague. It has been an extraordinary
:04:34. > :04:37.week for the family, pursued across Europe, then having the arrest
:04:38. > :04:42.warrant dropped. A lot of people still don't really know what this
:04:43. > :04:45.story is all about, what happened, why they were chased across Europe,
:04:46. > :04:50.what they were doing in Spain when they were trying to get to Prague.
:04:51. > :04:53.It sounds like we were going to have a happy ending in the sense that
:04:54. > :04:57.hopefully now they will be left to do what they were going to do in the
:04:58. > :05:03.first place and get on with it and maybe be left alone by the media to
:05:04. > :05:06.deal with at their own way. Briefly, Jean, do police have much choice
:05:07. > :05:11.over whether to pursue the family in this way, given that doctors in
:05:12. > :05:15.Britain were concerned for his health? It depends a little on what
:05:16. > :05:21.information the police were given, and that is still not clear. If the
:05:22. > :05:27.police were told that the medical profession in the hospital believed
:05:28. > :05:30.the child was at risk in terms of how the parents might be able to
:05:31. > :05:34.look after him or not, I don't know if that was the case, but if they
:05:35. > :05:38.had been told something like that and hadn't done anything, we would
:05:39. > :05:44.be criticising them as well. The whole thing is a bit of a sad mess,
:05:45. > :05:48.I think. I suspect that in a sense, at the end of the day, everyone has
:05:49. > :05:55.acted in what they believe were the best interests of the child, but the
:05:56. > :05:59.consequences of that have been a tragic set of circumstances, and
:06:00. > :06:03.hugely distressing for the family, but also for the kids of that
:06:04. > :06:09.family, including the little boy himself. The Daily Mail, shaming of
:06:10. > :06:12.bodily banks, intimidating customers with fake debt collection letters,
:06:13. > :06:17.bosses confess. This is a campaign they have been mounting after they
:06:18. > :06:22.claimed thousands of letters had been sent, which were apparently
:06:23. > :06:28.rather intimidating, to customers. Now it seems the bosses admitted
:06:29. > :06:33.using these tactics. They have, yes. There has been so much news going on
:06:34. > :06:37.with Ukraine, Iraq and Scotland, it has been lost today. This has not
:06:38. > :06:43.been missed by the Daily Mail, which is good, because it is outrageous.
:06:44. > :06:46.If your front`page story is supposed to be dropped your toast stuff at
:06:47. > :06:50.breakfast, this would mind me `` want to make me smash up the
:06:51. > :06:54.kitchen. These banks, their customers, they are looking after
:06:55. > :07:00.people 's money, and they were making up names of solicitors to
:07:01. > :07:03.send them scary letters. It is the will drink how they thought they
:07:04. > :07:08.could get away with it. Is your crockery safe when you read a
:07:09. > :07:15.headline like that, Jean? Just about, but the interesting thing
:07:16. > :07:19.was, if I pretended to be debt collecting firm or a law firm and I
:07:20. > :07:24.sent you that kind of letter, I would expect the police at my door,
:07:25. > :07:29.and what I find extraordinary in all of this is that after everything we
:07:30. > :07:34.have been through with the banks, they still think they are perfectly
:07:35. > :07:39.legitimate in behaving in this way, and the article points out, they
:07:40. > :07:45.have not really apologise. The thing I was surprised that was that the
:07:46. > :07:50.Student Loan Company is part and parcel of this. I don't know what we
:07:51. > :07:55.need to do for people to understand that behaving in this way is immoral
:07:56. > :07:59.and totally unacceptable. Let's move on to the Independent, coalition
:08:00. > :08:03.rocked by bedroom tax revolt, a quandary here with this one because
:08:04. > :08:07.we have to call it the spare room subsidy as well to not cause
:08:08. > :08:14.partiality, but this was the vote not by a backbench Lib Dem MP,
:08:15. > :08:22.Andrew George, to try to CBN is of this tax, which has proved to be
:08:23. > :08:25.very damaging `` see the end of this tax `` damaging for people deemed to
:08:26. > :08:30.have an extra bedroom they don't need. It has indeed, very damaging
:08:31. > :08:36.in terms of the impact it can have in moving families away from the
:08:37. > :08:42.rest of their family and their community and so on. For example, in
:08:43. > :08:48.some parts of Scotland, there simply are not houses with only one
:08:49. > :08:52.bedroom. Here in Scotland, The Scottish Government has acted to
:08:53. > :08:56.mitigate the effects of the bedroom tax, but the thing that struck me
:08:57. > :09:03.about this story was that you can spot a 2015 general election coming,
:09:04. > :09:07.I think. I don't mean to be dismissive of the backbencher who
:09:08. > :09:11.brought it forward, I am sure he is genuine, but we have that coalition
:09:12. > :09:15.emerging between Labour and the Liberal Democrats, and the Liberal
:09:16. > :09:18.Democrats suddenly very much opposed to the bedroom tax, but they were
:09:19. > :09:24.part of the government that introduced it. You pulled a bit of a
:09:25. > :09:28.face, James. There is a Scottish angle to this because the SNP MPs,
:09:29. > :09:33.most of them, didn't turn up for the vote, despite all this talk about
:09:34. > :09:37.vote for independence to get rid of the bedroom tax. That is a decision
:09:38. > :09:43.they took. They obviously thought time would be better is spent
:09:44. > :09:48.campaigning for a yes vote and they might rewrite, but from a PR point
:09:49. > :09:54.of view it has given Labour big win because they are to say, our MPs
:09:55. > :09:58.turned up and voted. The FT has come up trumps with a story about the
:09:59. > :10:03.Scottish referendum, which is fantastic, as Jean is with us from
:10:04. > :10:07.Glasgow. Union camp in push to halt yester, David Cameron warning Scots
:10:08. > :10:12.they will be more vulnerable in a dangerous and insecure world of they
:10:13. > :10:16.vote for independence, as No campaigners try to stop the swell of
:10:17. > :10:22.support for Yes. Gordon Brown also saying there might be an option of
:10:23. > :10:32.greater devolution of powers to Scotland, James, if the No voters
:10:33. > :10:40.successful. I'm not much or how we can offer a guarantee now. The FT
:10:41. > :10:44.have been on the independence referendum from the start. Like a
:10:45. > :10:49.lot of papers who are just waking up to it as it gets tight and closer,
:10:50. > :10:55.I'm not sure there is a huge amount exciting in this story per se. But,
:10:56. > :11:00.it is the big issue now. Despite the other stuff in the papers this is
:11:01. > :11:06.the big issue affecting the country. It seems the momentum is with yes at
:11:07. > :11:11.the moment. We'll know that for sure when we see some pulse at the
:11:12. > :11:17.weekend. They say there is panic in the no camp. `` polls. What will
:11:18. > :11:24.work best at this point? Stand in the other people 's shoes for a
:11:25. > :11:30.moment. More carrot or more stick, to get people to vote no? Certainly
:11:31. > :11:37.not more stick or more scary stories about possible stick. People here
:11:38. > :11:42.don't believe it. Even in the early days when it was said a few months
:11:43. > :11:47.ago there wouldn't be a currency union. Even before there was paper
:11:48. > :11:52.coverage of a government insider who said of course there would be. Even
:11:53. > :11:56.before then the polls showed people in Scotland didn't believe it. What
:11:57. > :12:02.is happening here, and it is interesting, there is not a lot in
:12:03. > :12:07.this story, but it is interesting inasmuch as not particularly the
:12:08. > :12:10.Financial Times because we've also covered the referendum consistently
:12:11. > :12:15.throughout, but there is certainly a mood of, oh my goodness, it is
:12:16. > :12:19.coming very soon. From the no camp, it looks like we might lose. It does
:12:20. > :12:25.look like we might lose. I'm not sure what they can do. They've left
:12:26. > :12:29.it a bit late. They are trying to scare people into voting no. They've
:12:30. > :12:33.tried to tell us how much they love us so please don't vote no. Now we
:12:34. > :12:37.have guarantees that frankly can never be honoured. And the offer of
:12:38. > :12:46.additional powers that contrast sharply with the fact that it was
:12:47. > :12:49.not allowed on the ballot paper because of the stance of the
:12:50. > :12:53.Unionist parties. Just because people don't believe it doesn't mean
:12:54. > :12:57.it is not true. I think that it's worth pointing out on all of these
:12:58. > :13:03.charges. But there has certainly been a lot of scaremongering. But it
:13:04. > :13:12.doesn't mean it is not true. Lots of shoe warning tonight. We will try to
:13:13. > :13:18.do it even more slickly later. `` shoehorning. Stay with us will stop
