:00:00.:00:00.

of it in Sportsday in 15 minutes after the papers. Welcome to our

:00:00.:00:17.

look ahead to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. With us is

:00:18.:00:24.

broadcaster David Davies and Anne Ashworth, assistant editor of the

:00:25.:00:29.

Times. Tomorrow's front pages. The Guardian leads with the vote in the

:00:30.:00:36.

Commons tomorrow on whether the UK should join air strikes in I The

:00:37.:00:44.

Daily Telegraph says the FBI knows the identity of "Jihadi John," who

:00:45.:00:50.

murdered a British aid workers and two Ameri journalis The Express

:00:51.:00:56.

claim as spicy diet could hold the key to beating Alzheimer's. Let's

:00:57.:01:01.

begin with the recall of Parliament and this vote tomorrow on air

:01:02.:01:06.

strikes by Britain on Iraq. We begin with the Guardian's take on this.

:01:07.:01:14.

RAF jets ready to attack within 4 hours of the vote but Guardian's

:01:15.:01:18.

take on this. RAF jets ready to attack within 4 hours of the vote

:01:19.:01:21.

but not within Syria `` within 24 hours of the vote but not within

:01:22.:01:24.

Syria. It is a very serious and momentous evening. We had a month

:01:25.:01:27.

where it feels that all the news is very serious. Only a week ago we

:01:28.:01:32.

were looking forward to the vote on the future of the United Kingdom and

:01:33.:01:37.

now we are poised to go, start military action in Iraq. But there's

:01:38.:01:41.

nothing gung`ho about the statement that they are going to debate for as

:01:42.:01:45.

long as seven hours in Parliament tomorrow. We don't know quite what

:01:46.:01:53.

the aims are but it seems it will be limited action. What the aims are it

:01:54.:01:56.

is not clear there. Has been criticism of that. Somewhere in this

:01:57.:02:02.

piece it says there's no identifiable or achievable aims of

:02:03.:02:06.

this action, but there is all party support now, won by a careful

:02:07.:02:10.

campaign for this. Lift be a very interesting debate in Parliament

:02:11.:02:12.

tomorrow. In the past, David, there's been concern about the

:02:13.:02:16.

legality of action like this, but this is at the request of Iraq, so

:02:17.:02:19.

they think they are on safe ground. Absolutely. This story in the

:02:20.:02:26.

Guardian says the Cabinet handed clear advice from the Attorney

:02:27.:02:28.

General justifying the war's legality, it says. But just to

:02:29.:02:34.

reflect the point that Anne is making, the first sentence of the

:02:35.:02:39.

story, wary British MPs are expected today. The contrast is painted with

:02:40.:02:48.

last year's vote on getting involved in fighting Assad in Syria. When the

:02:49.:02:55.

Prime Minister surprisingly lost that vote. You've had during the day

:02:56.:03:04.

here on the BBC News Channel General Sir Michael Jackson, the former

:03:05.:03:09.

Chief of Staff, saying what is the long`term plan? But the answer to

:03:10.:03:14.

that question of course is, what is the alternative to what we are

:03:15.:03:19.

doing? Sit seriously nothing? If it is to push Islamic State back out of

:03:20.:03:24.

Iraq, doesn't that just park the problem in Syria? This will be in

:03:25.:03:29.

combination with the coalition action in Syria which is taking out

:03:30.:03:37.

the oil installations, a vital source of receive knew for ISIS. S

:03:38.:03:42.

taking out the oil installations, a vital source of receive knew for

:03:43.:03:45.

ISIS `` revenue for ISIS. If they can knock out many of those

:03:46.:03:47.

installations maybe it won't be so great to work for ISIS, which

:03:48.:03:52.

essentially is like a multinational crime corporation. People are paid

:03:53.:04:01.

handsomely. They are paid very well. Jordan has been complaining how well

:04:02.:04:04.

people have been paid to fight for ISIS a. We've got to hope that the

:04:05.:04:09.

action in Syria and Iraq work in tandem. We know it is going to last

:04:10.:04:15.

a long time. Michael Fallon has been warning today, years. Two to three

:04:16.:04:19.

years he suggested. But the solution to this lies in the region. The fact

:04:20.:04:27.

this is a multinational force. Perhaps some surprising countries

:04:28.:04:30.

involved in it up to this point. Who knows who else might come in as we

:04:31.:04:36.

go along. The transformation down there and the way that Iran now is

:04:37.:04:44.

so involved in what is the ultimate outcome of this, it is fascinating.

:04:45.:04:48.

Some extraordinary allegiances you would never have dreamt of. O Met's

:04:49.:04:55.

move to the Metro. Terror alert on New York and Paris Subways. The

:04:56.:04:58.

White House is playing this down very much, but news of this came

:04:59.:05:04.

from the Prime Minister of Iraq, because they believe they've got

:05:05.:05:08.

this intelligence from captured Islamic State extremists, who say

:05:09.:05:14.

that a strike was planned. We don't know how imminent though. It is all

:05:15.:05:21.

quite vague, but the premier of Iraq has thought it worth mentioning. I

:05:22.:05:25.

suppose this strengths the case for action. A lot of things are coming

:05:26.:05:29.

together to support the vote tomorrow. On action in Parliament.

:05:30.:05:38.

But it isn't just people in Iraq who are suffering the most appalling

:05:39.:05:46.

way. Paris, London and... Obvious targets. You would think so. I think

:05:47.:05:52.

people will be scared by this sort of stuff, which isn't a reason, I'm

:05:53.:05:56.

not suggesting that people if this information exists, that people

:05:57.:06:01.

should not be alerted to it. But I think most people recognise the

:06:02.:06:06.

threat very clearly. But it isn't just a local threat in reaction it

:06:07.:06:10.

has international consequences for us as well. Let's look at the

:06:11.:06:15.

Telegraph, another strand to this story. We know the true identity of

:06:16.:06:21.

"Jihadi John," claims the FBI, but they are not telling us. They are

:06:22.:06:26.

not, but there is in the middle of this story, I mentioned earlier

:06:27.:06:31.

General Sir Mike Jackson, the former Chief of the General Staff. Here we

:06:32.:06:36.

have Air Chief Marshal Sir Michael Graydon, a former head of the RAF,

:06:37.:06:41.

warning that Britain's Air Force will struggle to mount a sustained

:06:42.:06:44.

campaign because it has been cut back to the bare bonus. He says the

:06:45.:06:49.

RAF is at rock bottom after years of cuts. Let's be, as Britain

:06:50.:06:58.

presumably now gets involved in all this action, and Michael Fallon

:06:59.:07:02.

talked about two to three years, are we in a position to be involved for

:07:03.:07:07.

two to three years? I'm sure people will be asking tomorrow in

:07:08.:07:13.

Parliament, if there's a lack of combat aircraft, how long can we

:07:14.:07:18.

sustain the campaign for? And it has to have diminishing returns. Once

:07:19.:07:21.

you've taken out the obvious targets, what do you do next? We are

:07:22.:07:26.

in uncharted territory here. Overshadowed by the fears and

:07:27.:07:32.

concerns and the bad outcomes of previous conflicts. It is beyond me.

:07:33.:07:39.

It is rather like it is simplistic but it makes the point, how do you

:07:40.:07:47.

fight a part of a war? This all roads lead too Syria in this is

:07:48.:07:52.

really what I'm saying. Is I suspect that tomorrow's vote in the House of

:07:53.:07:55.

Commons will be followed in the not too distant future by another vote,

:07:56.:07:59.

which extends this into Syria. But it has to be a separate vote. It is

:08:00.:08:04.

quite a restricted motion. Which will be a relief to a lot of people

:08:05.:08:08.

tomorrow having to make the decision. EU moves to block

:08:09.:08:14.

buy`to`let mortgages, in the Express. Accidental landlords are

:08:15.:08:20.

going to be hit. If you are renting a house I think that hearted from a

:08:21.:08:25.

parent or you've both had a flat before you got married and you are

:08:26.:08:28.

representing it out. Anybody who is a landlord, not as in a business but

:08:29.:08:33.

as a reluctant or accidental landlord, nobody knows how many of

:08:34.:08:37.

these there are, and how much they borrow, but they are going to find

:08:38.:08:41.

it much more difficult in future to be able to get a mortgage. They are

:08:42.:08:48.

going to have to undergo the same tough affordability checks that

:08:49.:08:52.

other borrowers face. It seems we don't know how many there are.

:08:53.:08:56.

Surely you would be able to Claridges I am a landlord as a

:08:57.:08:59.

business rather than just by accident. It is a very strange piece

:09:00.:09:04.

of EU legislation, of which this is the consequence. I can almost hear

:09:05.:09:10.

Nigel Farage as we speak, saying what on earth has this got to do

:09:11.:09:14.

with the EU? You might well ask that. It is an extraordinarily

:09:15.:09:20.

bebuildering move, but whatever happens, we know that mortgages are

:09:21.:09:23.

getting tougher to get. There are lots more questions asked of anybody

:09:24.:09:27.

wanting to borrow, and currently buy to let loans are not covered by that

:09:28.:09:30.

legislation. Is that not the responsibility of

:09:31.:09:48.

the British Parliament? You know I cannot answer that! Let's go to the

:09:49.:09:52.

business pages. Bank on brink of raising interest rates. This will

:09:53.:09:57.

strike fear into the lot of people if they are lumbered with those

:09:58.:10:01.

mortgages. Mortgages are likely to rise in the near future, nearer than

:10:02.:10:09.

we might have thought. Is this not the biggest delayed drop story of

:10:10.:10:17.

our lifetime? ! They had to dust it off. I rather like Mark Carney and

:10:18.:10:23.

the job that he is doing in succession to Sir Mervyn King, who I

:10:24.:10:29.

also thought was in excellent governor. We seem to be every week,

:10:30.:10:36.

every month he says there are going to arrive dash`mac they are going to

:10:37.:10:43.

rise. He is running around the still United Kingdom saying the same thing

:10:44.:10:47.

that we have known for ages. Central need to be enigmatic and the like to

:10:48.:10:53.

keep you guessing. We all know interest rates are going to go up.

:10:54.:10:56.

He seems to suggest it might be sooner than we thought but the

:10:57.:11:00.

increases will be limited and gradual. He is absolutely pledging

:11:01.:11:05.

that. I do not think there is going to be a quick up words surge. It

:11:06.:11:08.

will be small increases but everybody needs to be ready for

:11:09.:11:14.

this. It is inevitable and it might happen early next year. But if they

:11:15.:11:19.

are not ready, they are living on another planet because we have been

:11:20.:11:23.

told for however long that it is going to be either side of

:11:24.:11:28.

Christmas. People have become habituated to record low rates. It

:11:29.:11:32.

has been going on for so long that people, I think, some people will be

:11:33.:11:36.

shocked and other prudent people will not and I am sure you are

:11:37.:11:40.

amongst them. We are the prudent people today! The Guardian, sorry, I

:11:41.:11:49.

need to go back to the Guardian and a story about GB waiting times,

:11:50.:11:53.

which are national disgrace according to the chair of the Royal

:11:54.:12:01.

College of GPs. When she says so, you have to start worrying, don't

:12:02.:12:07.

you? GPs say that they are trying to manage this problem as best they

:12:08.:12:10.

can. Sobering statement because she said the biggest risk is that some

:12:11.:12:14.

people don't get an appointment, call away and are better stop other

:12:15.:12:19.

people have got a serious illness, the symptoms seem better and then

:12:20.:12:24.

they did not go back again and that serious illness is not caught early

:12:25.:12:27.

and that is the problem. If people are waiting for a week they give up

:12:28.:12:31.

and think they don't feel that well but have to put up with it and then

:12:32.:12:37.

present in Accident and Emergency with very serious conditions. That

:12:38.:12:42.

is what is happening. We are always encouraged to take action sooner

:12:43.:12:46.

rather than later for early diagnosis and early intervention. If

:12:47.:12:50.

you cannot get an appointment, it is difficult. I have to wonder why the

:12:51.:12:54.

proportion of patients waiting at least a week has gone from 13% in

:12:55.:13:02.

2011, we are told, to 16% in July of this year. This pressure on the GP

:13:03.:13:10.

surgeries which most of us see in our local communities month in month

:13:11.:13:17.

out or however often you go to see your GPs, I still think that there

:13:18.:13:24.

are a lot of people who are generally healthy who could have

:13:25.:13:29.

telephone consultations who still prefer to pick up... I would prefer

:13:30.:13:34.

to pick up the phone and go and see my GP but I think I do get it that

:13:35.:13:42.

there are people who need to see their GP personally much more than I

:13:43.:13:48.

do and I think a telephone consultation is perfectly

:13:49.:13:50.

acceptable. It would save a lot of time. That is it from the moment but

:13:51.:13:55.

there is a lot more to discuss. We will be back at 11:30pm for another

:13:56.:13:59.

look at the stories making the front pages tomorrow. Up next, sports day.

:14:00.:14:12.

The Ryder Cup captains have revealed their pairings

:14:13.:14:16.

for the opening fourballs at Gleneagles, as the competition
