:00:14. > :00:17.Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be

:00:18. > :00:23.With me are the broadcaster and campaigner David Akinsanya,

:00:24. > :00:28.and the political commentator and journalist Miranda Green.

:00:29. > :00:31.Tomorrow's front pages now. Starting with...

:00:32. > :00:34.The Observer leads with Labour plans to raise the minumum wage to more

:00:35. > :00:37.than ?8 an hour, as the party's conference prepares to get

:00:38. > :00:40.The Mail on Sunday says the Prime Minister has warned Ed Miliband

:00:41. > :00:45.in the wake of the Scottish referendum.

:00:46. > :00:47.A similar sentiment on the front of the Sunday Telegraph,

:00:48. > :00:50.this time from Justice Secretary Chris Grayling.

:00:51. > :00:53.Writing in the paper, he says Scotland should not gain any more

:00:54. > :00:57.while Scottish MPs still have a say in English affairs.

:00:58. > :01:00.The Sunday Post features another 'vow' from Westminster leaders `

:01:01. > :01:09.that further devolution for Scotland will be delivered.

:01:10. > :01:15.The Sunday Herald has a striking picture of St George's Square in

:01:16. > :01:21.Glasgow, it was the only paper backing referendum before the ``

:01:22. > :01:24.backing independence before the referendum.

:01:25. > :01:28.And former Environment Secretary Owen Paterson is criticising the

:01:29. > :01:33.Prime Minister saying the Cabinet was not consulted about details of

:01:34. > :01:39.the referendum, including the question of the ballot paper. It is

:01:40. > :01:45.a bit late for that! This is the Mail on Sunday. This is appearing

:01:46. > :01:48.outside Scotland. The Scottish front page is very different. A Prime

:01:49. > :01:53.Minister warns, do not sell out England. This business `` I will

:01:54. > :01:58.show you the Scottish version in a second. This is a pole being carried

:01:59. > :02:05.out that apparently shows furious over how much money goes to

:02:06. > :02:11.Scotland. The sentiment seems to be people want it to stop.

:02:12. > :02:16.This process has taught English people are a lot of things Scottish

:02:17. > :02:21.MPs have a say in that we do not have a say on. The West Lothian

:02:22. > :02:26.issue. And I think people are waking up to it and they understand there

:02:27. > :02:29.are issues if Scotland are going to get more powers, English MPs might

:02:30. > :02:37.be calling for changes. The warning is to the Labour leader

:02:38. > :02:41.here. Making capital out of this. In the run`up to the general election,

:02:42. > :02:45.there is a lot of mileage for the parties.

:02:46. > :02:48.There is. The unfortunate thing gives that in the run`up to the

:02:49. > :02:53.Scottish referendum, all the parties were trying their best not just to

:02:54. > :02:58.appear unified in what they were promising the Scottish people to

:02:59. > :03:02.secure this no vote but also, they were promising that after the

:03:03. > :03:07.referendum result was announced, everybody would work together to

:03:08. > :03:11.resolve what we knew would be difficult constitutional questions.

:03:12. > :03:15.They were already promising so much to Scotland, there were going to be

:03:16. > :03:19.knock`on effects on the rest of the UK. We knew there would be knock`on

:03:20. > :03:25.effects for Wales but also for the northern cities of England which are

:03:26. > :03:29.very upset about the idea of the Scots get more money per head of

:03:30. > :03:32.public funding and that they have these powers to run their own

:03:33. > :03:36.affairs when somewhere like Manchester is an enormous economy,

:03:37. > :03:41.why should they not be getting devolved powers? This was going to

:03:42. > :03:47.happen and people knew it was taking place but what is extraordinary is

:03:48. > :03:50.that we are not yet 72 hours after the referendum result and it has

:03:51. > :03:58.thrown the political world into chaos. It is a plump for Ed Miliband

:03:59. > :04:06.`` problem for Ed Miliband because David Cameron has set a trap by

:04:07. > :04:09.saying they are going to give a new package for Scotland by the end of

:04:10. > :04:15.January, a very tight timetable to work out what that would be. He has

:04:16. > :04:19.also said they have to have a fairer deal for the rest of the UK

:04:20. > :04:24.alongside that. The Labour Party is saying they are being bounced into

:04:25. > :04:28.this. Alistair Darling is saying that is

:04:29. > :04:34.not negotiable, the timetable. These are the results of the poll. Who

:04:35. > :04:40.persuaded the Scots to stay in the UK? Gordon Brown coming out on top.

:04:41. > :04:45.A favourite moment in the referendum campaign. It was the Queen is Mac

:04:46. > :04:52.life for people to think carefully. I do not know where they did this

:04:53. > :04:56.poll, not Scotland! Ash the Queen's plea.

:04:57. > :05:01.They are as skiing if more devolution would make it impossible

:05:02. > :05:06.for a Scottish MP to be Prime Minister in the future. `` they are

:05:07. > :05:09.also asking. When you think of how many prime ministers have been

:05:10. > :05:15.Scottish MPs, that is a big deal if the rest of the UK no longer feels a

:05:16. > :05:25.Scot is appropriate as a leader for the UK.

:05:26. > :05:35.I want to show you, our director is not expecting less... `` expecting

:05:36. > :05:40.this. The Scottish Mail on Sunday, the Scots back the SNP that they do

:05:41. > :05:47.not want to see another referendum. `` but they do not. It shows how

:05:48. > :05:52.different it is from the English and Welsh and Northern Ireland first.

:05:53. > :05:57.The Sunday Telegraph, the Justice Secretary tells the Scots, get off

:05:58. > :06:03.my lawn! Chris Grayling. It is quite nasty already.

:06:04. > :06:07.It is more of the same, this idea that Scottish MPs are going to be in

:06:08. > :06:12.the house of Parliament voting on things affecting England only. As

:06:13. > :06:17.the Justice Secretary, he thinks it is his place to say that.

:06:18. > :06:23.We heard Alex Salmond has been speaking to Sunday Politics tomorrow

:06:24. > :06:27.at 11 o'clock tomorrow morning, he is saying the parties are going back

:06:28. > :06:32.on the speed at which this is meant to happen. Downing Street say the

:06:33. > :06:37.three prounion parties have set out a clear timetable. Lord Smith of

:06:38. > :06:42.Kelvin will oversee the timetable. The powers of tax spending, welfare,

:06:43. > :06:48.agreed by November and legislation published by January. It is not as

:06:49. > :06:55.quick during the latter is ages of the campaign.

:06:56. > :07:01.Gordon Brown, David Cameron is and remains Prime Minister of the United

:07:02. > :07:08.Kingdom, but he devolved constitutional decisions to Gordon

:07:09. > :07:12.Brown. His personal nemesis and his predecessor as Labour Prime

:07:13. > :07:16.Minister. Gordon Brown promised this deadline of Ernst Knight. This

:07:17. > :07:24.complicated Scottish side of the Constitution will be sorted by Burns

:07:25. > :07:28.night. `` deadline of Burns night. It was promised so they have to

:07:29. > :07:31.stick to it. And you have to resolve and you have to plan how to resolve

:07:32. > :07:43.these English issues and the wealth issues. `` Welsh issues.

:07:44. > :07:47.The other story, stop the flow of `` `` money and guns to jihadists.

:07:48. > :07:53.Pressure growing and countries like Kuwait and Qatar said to be

:07:54. > :08:01.providing money to the militants. What comes out of this article is

:08:02. > :08:04.that it seems, it is a Conservative saying that because there are so

:08:05. > :08:10.many investments in this country, we are afraid to confront Qatar about

:08:11. > :08:17.the systems in operation providing money and arms to the jihadists. It

:08:18. > :08:21.may be that people are thinking we are not pushing as much as we should

:08:22. > :08:25.be. And there is a recognition having

:08:26. > :08:29.too much Western involvement in the problems in Iraq and Syria will be

:08:30. > :08:34.counter`productive and they need to bring in the Arab states.

:08:35. > :08:40.It is complicated because we are criticising the funding going into

:08:41. > :08:45.the opposition groups in Syria who are opposing President Assad but we

:08:46. > :08:50.in the UK have been sending in funding and support to opposition

:08:51. > :08:55.groups in Syria because we have been trying to get rid of President Assad

:08:56. > :08:58.and now he is not going. You have to be careful who you

:08:59. > :09:02.support. It is incredibly difficult and there

:09:03. > :09:11.is a sectarian divide in the Middle East which we found on one side of

:09:12. > :09:15.the sectarian divide... So we are criticising others for funding and

:09:16. > :09:22.it is a bit late for that. In 24 hours, 45 thousand refugees

:09:23. > :09:26.were coming from Syria into Turkey. That is contained within that bit of

:09:27. > :09:34.the article but so many things going on. They are not working.

:09:35. > :09:42.It is over 60,000 now. Even today, it has gone even further.

:09:43. > :09:48.An interesting and weird details... There has been a lot of interest in

:09:49. > :09:53.the last 48 hours on how the votes of Scottish MPs might have changed

:09:54. > :09:59.things. If you took out the votes of Scottish MPs last year, David

:10:00. > :10:05.Cameron's resolution and Syria and possible military intervention in

:10:06. > :10:11.Syria would have passed. So it seems these constitutional arguments are a

:10:12. > :10:16.bit of a turn off to everybody else. But substantial decisions

:10:17. > :10:20.taken by the UK could be different in the future.

:10:21. > :10:37.Ed Miliband is pledging a big pay rise for Britain's poorest workers,

:10:38. > :10:42.we are likely to see announcements. ?8, a big increase on the minimum

:10:43. > :10:46.wage but still not a living wage in a lot of places.

:10:47. > :10:49.It is ?8 by 2020 which is a long time.

:10:50. > :10:53.We do not know what inflation is going to be.

:10:54. > :11:00.Yes. The thing about the minimum wage which came in after the Tony

:11:01. > :11:04.Blair victory, the landslide in 1997, it is the perfect policy

:11:05. > :11:07.because it is a real policy that changes people's lives and it tells

:11:08. > :11:14.you something fundamental about values of the party and who they

:11:15. > :11:17.stand up for. So trying to make something new of that policy, the

:11:18. > :11:24.minimum wage, to achieve a victory in next year's election makes sense

:11:25. > :11:29.for Ed Miliband. But it may not make sense when you look at what it is

:11:30. > :11:33.worth to people. This beam of the cost of living and living standards,

:11:34. > :11:39.the working poor, is very important `` beam. Placing this story in the

:11:40. > :11:45.Observer, they are trying to get back onto their agenda for the

:11:46. > :11:48.conference season. The question will always be, how do

:11:49. > :11:54.you pay for it? In 2020, how much is ?8 worth? And

:11:55. > :12:02.how do we pay for it? He has not said here.

:12:03. > :12:07.He will be pressed on it. Employers will be paying it because

:12:08. > :12:12.it is wages. The trick with the minimum wage and the reason it is

:12:13. > :12:18.set by an independent body and the level it should be is because you

:12:19. > :12:22.have to be very careful you do not destroy jobs by making a minimum

:12:23. > :12:26.wage to high and that is why the debate about the living wage and the

:12:27. > :12:32.minimum wage can get so complicated. I am sure tomorrow a lot of

:12:33. > :12:36.economists will be questioned about whether this is a realistic level

:12:37. > :12:40.and poverty campaigners will be wondering if this is a level that

:12:41. > :12:50.will make a difference. Another story here, use the tax

:12:51. > :12:58.kicks, Desmond Tutu here, peace prizewinner, saying people should be

:12:59. > :13:00.boycotting internationally mining companies, oil corporations and

:13:01. > :13:07.businesses that trade on fossil fuels during the comparison with

:13:08. > :13:13.what's top of the apartheid regime. `` with what's top old.

:13:14. > :13:21.There was so much to boycott! Gold and fruit. It is a good idea but I

:13:22. > :13:25.think the governments should be putting pressure on companies and

:13:26. > :13:30.most of the things we talk about are things we all need. I cannot stop

:13:31. > :13:36.dying petrol. We also need those companies to provide jobs? We do,

:13:37. > :13:41.and also, something that is quite interesting from Sir Desmond to is

:13:42. > :13:47.this idea that there is too much pressure from international bodies

:13:48. > :13:53.on the developing world to cut back on its climate change and carbon

:13:54. > :13:57.gases when the developed world has enjoyed the benefits of all of that

:13:58. > :14:00.development already and this is an emerging theme and has been for

:14:01. > :14:05.several UN meetings on climate change. The idea that the developing

:14:06. > :14:10.world is feeling hard done by and sum saved they should be paid

:14:11. > :14:22.compensation, if you want us to not develop in the way you have, pay as!

:14:23. > :14:28.`` us. I want to return quickly to the aftermath of the referendum and

:14:29. > :14:32.in the Sunday Post, it says Scotswomen are set to dominate

:14:33. > :14:38.politics and girl power, there is Nicola Sturgeon, the hopeful

:14:39. > :14:51.successor to Alex Salmond. I wonder what that will be called? Tartan

:14:52. > :14:55.Spice? They say they have got their organically and not through any

:14:56. > :15:02.special treatment. No positive discrimination or anything. But it

:15:03. > :15:07.is to make up and one down because Ruth Davidson in Scotland was the

:15:08. > :15:11.undoubted star of the campaign and Nicola Sturgeon is the up and Nicola

:15:12. > :15:15.Sturgeon is the up`and`coming female leader in Scotland has been almost

:15:16. > :15:19.invisible and is facing possible leadership problems. She might not

:15:20. > :15:27.be there forever, it might be very short lived. That is it. Lots to

:15:28. > :15:31.discuss. So, around and David will be back again at 11:30pm for another

:15:32. > :15:41.look at the front pages. Stay with us. The latest on Alex Salmond and

:15:42. > :15:45.his accusations at 11pm. Coming up next, it is reporters.
