:00:00. > :00:15.Moore. And the rest of the top releases.
:00:16. > :00:20.Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be
:00:21. > :00:22.bringing us tomorrow. With me are the author and journalist Rachel
:00:23. > :00:29.Shabi and Matthew Green who's also an author and journalist.
:00:30. > :00:31.Tomorrow's front pages. The Independent leads on the chancellor
:00:32. > :00:34.George Osborne's pledge to cut tax on inherited pensions before the
:00:35. > :00:37.2015 election. The Financial Times reports on an accusation that apple
:00:38. > :00:41.is prospering from illegal tax deals with the irish government. The
:00:42. > :00:44.Telegraph also leads with Osborne's announcement to scrap what the paper
:00:45. > :00:46.dubs the" death tax". So too does the Guardian, which
:00:47. > :00:49.focuses on what it calls 'panic'among conservatives that
:00:50. > :00:52.there could be more defections to UKIP. It also reports that a new
:00:53. > :00:55.drug that targets breast cancer could extend life by 15 months.
:00:56. > :00:56.The Times reports on Hong Kong's crackdown of pro`democracy
:00:57. > :00:59.demonstrators where tens of thousands of protestors are
:01:00. > :01:01.blockading the centre of the city.The Daily Mail has an exclusive
:01:02. > :01:04.interview with brain tumour patient Ashya King's's parents."They locked
:01:05. > :01:12.us up and left him alone, crying like an animal" they say.
:01:13. > :01:20.The Mirror reports on actress Lynda Bellingham's fight with her terminal
:01:21. > :01:30.cancer. The paper says she wants to have one last Christmas with her
:01:31. > :01:33.family. And in the Sun, George Clooney shows
:01:34. > :01:36.off his new bride Amal Alamuddin. The couple married in Venice
:01:37. > :01:42.yesterday. I was saying in the headlines, the
:01:43. > :01:46.Conservative conference has been overshadowed by the defection, which
:01:47. > :01:54.is a fair assessment. It is getting there isn't it. Don't you think?
:01:55. > :02:00.They are alluding to the same thing, which is that George Osborne's
:02:01. > :02:06.announcement about the abolition of this death tax that it's been
:02:07. > :02:12.called, where it he is scrapping the 55% rate of duty you pay if you pass
:02:13. > :02:18.on a pension pot after death ``. It has been played as a Tory comeback
:02:19. > :02:26.from trying to assuage frayed nerves over the rather rocky beginning to a
:02:27. > :02:30.conference that I suppose the Conservative party assumed they
:02:31. > :02:35.would cruise through, it didn't turn out that way. The Guardian headline
:02:36. > :02:40.alludes to everything you have said, unlike the others, which isn't
:02:41. > :02:43.what David Cameron and George Osborne hope for. The others report
:02:44. > :02:49.on the tax pledge, whereas the Guardian spells it out. They are
:02:50. > :02:54.talking about panic over UKIP and rumours of other MPs leaving the
:02:55. > :03:01.Conservatives. It would be a serious blow. The question is, will the
:03:02. > :03:04.polls that show voters have more confidence in the Conservatives on
:03:05. > :03:10.the economy translate into more votes? George Oz bone will hop on
:03:11. > :03:17.that theme and see if he can reinforce the Conservatives economic
:03:18. > :03:26.credentials `` George Osborne. The Times, Osborne hopes it will steady
:03:27. > :03:30.Tory nerves. It has distracted the papers are way from scandal and
:03:31. > :03:36.defection. Do you think this is what voters want to read about? That is
:03:37. > :03:42.the question. This is a sweetener with an eye on the grey vote. It's a
:03:43. > :03:51.crowdpleaser. Osborne, by his own standards, has failed. The economy
:03:52. > :03:58.hasn't recovered as he pledged. In your opinion. By any measure. By the
:03:59. > :04:05.measures he set for himself, by the pledges he made, he has failed. He
:04:06. > :04:08.paints a different picture. He won't stand up at a Tory conference and
:04:09. > :04:15.say, I have failed. He is more likely to offer these diversionary
:04:16. > :04:19.sweetness. By any measure, living standards have fallen, most aren't
:04:20. > :04:24.feeling the effects of economic... That is true, but do people trust
:04:25. > :04:31.Labour to do any better, given what happened? Labour isn't offering an
:04:32. > :04:36.alternative. The things most people ask for and being provided by either
:04:37. > :04:41.party. Ed Balls didn't say anything. He said it would worsen before it
:04:42. > :04:45.got better. There will be more austerity he was upfront about it.
:04:46. > :04:49.They are following the same script. The polls show that what the public
:04:50. > :04:57.want, increased minimum wages, will efforts to tackle tax evasion,
:04:58. > :05:03.renationalisation of utilities, no major party is offering fees. If you
:05:04. > :05:07.are asked to choose between austerity and light austerity, it
:05:08. > :05:12.isn't an attractive proposition. Good news for people with pension
:05:13. > :05:17.pots who are about to retire, approaching 75, knowing their money
:05:18. > :05:20.will go further. And as living standards rise, that is
:05:21. > :05:27.significant. Can be sent on other things. We will stick with the
:05:28. > :05:31.Times, reporting on the crackdown on democracy protesters in Hong Kong.
:05:32. > :05:34.We shouldn't underestimate the seriousness of this and the
:05:35. > :05:39.ramifications not only for Hong Kong, though for the world.
:05:40. > :05:44.Interesting to see the story on the front pages finally, it has been
:05:45. > :05:47.buried for the last few days, particularly with the Conservative
:05:48. > :05:53.conference and also with the air in Iraq, which we will talk about in a
:05:54. > :05:57.moment. `` the airstrikes. These are the biggest protest since Hong Kong
:05:58. > :06:02.was handed back to China in 1997 and there is concern about what happens
:06:03. > :06:05.next. The Times leads with Hong Kong's government quashing rumours
:06:06. > :06:09.that the Chinese military is going to be deployed to contain the
:06:10. > :06:13.protest, which would be horrifying, hitting, given memories of Tiananmen
:06:14. > :06:20.Square in 1989. Britain is very quiet. It has been interesting that
:06:21. > :06:27.this isn't an international story resonating in domestic politics ``
:06:28. > :06:32.horrifying, given memories. It promised one country, two systems.
:06:33. > :06:39.What is your feeling about what is happening? Is this China trying to
:06:40. > :06:50.get more control? Clearly. China has written eight on the agreement made
:06:51. > :06:54.about the vote in 2017 `` renegged. It seems that China is carefully
:06:55. > :06:57.controlling the candidates you are allowed to vote for. Doesn't Hong
:06:58. > :07:03.Kong operate better with independence? Doesn't it produce
:07:04. > :07:08.more money, income, isn't it more financially stable with its
:07:09. > :07:15.independence rested Mark does that mean it shouldn't want a democratic
:07:16. > :07:21.vote? `` independence? It wants to pursue as much independence as
:07:22. > :07:24.possible. It won't take China renegging on agreements made a very
:07:25. > :07:31.kindly. It is clear where the protest is coming from. The standard
:07:32. > :07:35.script, quite legitimate democratic protest beaten down with
:07:36. > :07:40.heavy`handed policing and getting bigger. We have seen that play at
:07:41. > :07:45.time and again. It is different in Beijing, it is more difficult to
:07:46. > :07:48.predict how this will play out. Not many places where there hasn't been
:07:49. > :07:52.a protest in the world in the last few years. Moving onto the
:07:53. > :07:58.Telegraph, as you pointed out, we are going to look at the RAF's
:07:59. > :08:06.involvement in military airstrikes. At the bottom of the paper, we have
:08:07. > :08:11.a different slant on the involvement in a personal one. One of the
:08:12. > :08:19.pilots. David Haines, the British aid worker who was beheaded in Iraq
:08:20. > :08:24.by ISIS, he worked for the RAF as an engineer, and aircraft engineer.
:08:25. > :08:30.There is a personal element for the pilots doing these are bombing
:08:31. > :08:36.missions over the coming weeks `` an aircraft. That is what the story is
:08:37. > :08:39.highlighting. It will be personal for those pilots. That doesn't take
:08:40. > :08:43.away the questions about whether the strategy will work up which is
:08:44. > :08:46.something that was debated in parliament vigourously last week,
:08:47. > :08:50.though has now fallen off the agenda. There are questions about
:08:51. > :08:56.whether these missions will be adequate as a response. The last
:08:57. > :09:01.thing you want in a bombing campaign is for it to be motivated by some
:09:02. > :09:05.kind of justice. That should be the last thing it is about. That's what
:09:06. > :09:12.the debate has been about. The idea that you can bomb away and ideology
:09:13. > :09:17.has been proved to be and sounded many times. That's the one take away
:09:18. > :09:23.from the 13 years of the war on terror, that this isn't the way to
:09:24. > :09:28.solve the problem. It seems shocking that we are taking this same tactic
:09:29. > :09:35.again. Another line keeps filtering, appearing in this article, the words
:09:36. > :09:39.of Michael Fallon, the Defence Secretary, every now and then you
:09:40. > :09:46.hear a minister warned that there could be British casualties. There
:09:47. > :09:50.are likely to be headlines that a British man, fighting for Islamic
:09:51. > :09:56.State, dead, killed by a bomb from the RAF. It is a line that they keep
:09:57. > :10:00.slipping out. We will return to the Guardian now, when this story came
:10:01. > :10:06.through, it created quite a debate in the newsroom and it is
:10:07. > :10:09.interesting, isn't it? A headache for David Cameron and the
:10:10. > :10:13.Conservatives is Brookes new mart, who quit his post over the weekend
:10:14. > :10:18.because of allegations in the Daily Mirror and it now seems that there
:10:19. > :10:24.could be an intra` and claim brought against the newspaper `` Newmark.
:10:25. > :10:29.Certainly, the Guardian has picked up on this story and is raising
:10:30. > :10:34.questions about whether what the Sunday Mirror was doing was ethical.
:10:35. > :10:39.They say the story that brought down Newmark was run by a freelancer who
:10:40. > :10:45.had reached out using a fake Twitter account, presenting as a young woman
:10:46. > :10:51.to several Tory MPs. It is implied in the story that he was trawling
:10:52. > :10:56.for victims. People are asking in parliament if this is justified as a
:10:57. > :11:00.journalistic technique. Was what he was doing, sending lewd pictures,
:11:01. > :11:07.such a big public interest issue that it justifies what the papers
:11:08. > :11:12.say amounts to entrapment? It would be in the public interest if he was
:11:13. > :11:18.doing that on a regular basis. That's the issue. Working as a
:11:19. > :11:24.journalist, I thought the job was to find out what was going on, rather
:11:25. > :11:28.than create a situation. There is a fundamental question about the role
:11:29. > :11:36.of a journalist that is at stake. Do you agree? Yes. I struggle to see
:11:37. > :11:41.the public interest in something like this. It's not like it's
:11:42. > :11:46.exposing corruption or something over which there would be a more
:11:47. > :11:49.serious concern. The journalist could argue that he was
:11:50. > :11:55.investigating the behaviour of public ministers on social
:11:56. > :12:01.accounts. Was it investigating or was it creating conditions? What's
:12:02. > :12:05.emerging are questions over the images used to, so obviously... Who
:12:06. > :12:14.is this woman whose picture is on this Twitter at count? `` account.
:12:15. > :12:21.Dashing over pictures were used? `` does she know. Should he have
:12:22. > :12:26.resigned? I don't know if he should have resigned. It is unusual to
:12:27. > :12:31.defend a Conservative, but I don't think he should have resigned over
:12:32. > :12:36.it, I don't think that warrants it. It is stupidity. He hasn't committed
:12:37. > :12:39.a crime. Conversations like this would have overshadowed the party
:12:40. > :12:53.conference. They were nipping it in the bud. A lot of thanks to you, it
:12:54. > :12:57.Mr and Mrs Kruger this weekend `` Clooney. They have brought light
:12:58. > :13:03.relief. Just under the headline of the Conservative announcement, the
:13:04. > :13:07.ring that says it all. I don't know why it takes four days to get
:13:08. > :13:13.married, but this has been quite an extravaganza. There was a headline
:13:14. > :13:18.doing the rounds on social media, coming from businesswomen media, and
:13:19. > :13:21.it has turned it around, seeing that internationally acclaimed barrister
:13:22. > :13:25.marries an actor, which doesn't seem to be a statement of gender so much
:13:26. > :13:35.as the kind of things we are preoccupied by `` saying. You are
:13:36. > :13:38.just jealous. Four days in Venice. Think you for taking us through the
:13:39. > :13:43.papers. Stay with us on BBC News, we will be back with more after how the
:13:44. > :13:47.Conservatives are fighting back following the loss of a further MP
