:00:00. > :00:00.union Autumn internationals. And we'll hear from Ryder Cup hero Jamie
:00:00. > :00:00.Donaldson. That's all in Sportsday with me, Olly Foster, in 15 minutes,
:00:00. > :00:13.straight after the papers. Hello and welcome to
:00:14. > :00:16.our look ahead to what the papers With me are James Rampton,
:00:17. > :00:20.a columnist for The Independent and Colleen Graffy who is a law
:00:21. > :00:33.professor at Pepperdine University Welcome to both of you. Tomorrow's
:00:34. > :00:41.front pages, The times leads with our top story, strikes by RAF jets
:00:42. > :00:46.on targets in Iraq. The wife of Alan Henning is pictured on the front of
:00:47. > :00:49.the Guardian, with her appeal for her husband to be released by
:00:50. > :00:51.Islamic State militants. And for the brainwashed 15`year`old who is
:00:52. > :00:57.thought to have travelled to Syria to join militants is the lead on the
:00:58. > :01:00.Daily Mail. In the Telegraph, David Cameron's speech tomorrow to the
:01:01. > :01:05.Conservative Party conference, reporting he is expected to promised
:01:06. > :01:08.billions for the NHS. Finally this hour, the independent leaves with
:01:09. > :01:16.the ongoing protest by thousands of pro`democracy demonstrators in Hong
:01:17. > :01:19.Kong. `` leads. Let's start with the front page of the Guardian, the
:01:20. > :01:23.appeal by Barbara Henning for the release of her husband, still being
:01:24. > :01:29.held by Islamic State militants. A very moving account of a white's
:01:30. > :01:35.desperate way for husband was rock relief? `` a white's desperate plea
:01:36. > :01:41.for her husband's relief. She must be so distraught, she has the
:01:42. > :01:45.composure to go on television and do these interviews, appealing directly
:01:46. > :01:51.to ISIL. I like the way she is so intelligent about it saying, look,
:01:52. > :01:55.the sharia court has found he is not a spy. So what is your reason for
:01:56. > :02:00.holding him? She's also been able to get the support of Muslim Imams, who
:02:01. > :02:05.have all said this is wrong, it is against Islam to be holding this
:02:06. > :02:10.innocent man who was there to try and help people bringing aid to the
:02:11. > :02:16.area in Syria. The headline links not just the appeal, but also the
:02:17. > :02:20.events over Iraq from the RAF jets? The timing is that this video has
:02:21. > :02:27.time that the Foreign Office and the time that the Foreign Office and the
:02:28. > :02:33.Minister of defence announced that the RAF made its first two air
:02:34. > :02:36.strikes on IS. The timing may be perceived as unfortunate. But I
:02:37. > :02:41.absolutely echo what you say. Her bravery is to be applauded, in the
:02:42. > :02:45.most difficult time of her life, she had the courage to stand in front of
:02:46. > :02:50.the cameras and make these good points. The sharia court was brought
:02:51. > :02:51.because they thought that his passport had a chip which meant he
:02:52. > :02:58.was a spy. And all of the showed their passports and they
:02:59. > :03:04.said, we all have them. Showed it was ludicrous. She's courageous to
:03:05. > :03:11.do that and wrote to point out there is an outcry across the world. Some
:03:12. > :03:14.of these Imams are very conservative and even they said it was against
:03:15. > :03:21.Sharia law to execute this man who has been in Syria four times on
:03:22. > :03:27.mercy missions. Chose them for what they are, it is not about religion.
:03:28. > :03:31.That shows them. They are both leading with the same story, these
:03:32. > :03:34.two papers. James, looking ahead to the Prime Minister speech to the
:03:35. > :03:40.Conservative Party conference, it will be interesting if he goes big
:03:41. > :03:47.on the NHS? The Guardian headline to do some textual analysis, it is
:03:48. > :03:51.quite interesting. They have said he is planting a Tory flag on the NHS,
:03:52. > :03:58.implying that he is colonising something that is not his. The
:03:59. > :04:02.perception among many voters is that it is a Labour creation, and any
:04:03. > :04:07.Tories that try to claim it somehow being in authentic. However, as both
:04:08. > :04:12.of these pieces underline, he's making very big promises here that
:04:13. > :04:16.he will carry on absolute real terms increases and that he will ring
:04:17. > :04:21.fence the budget. That will annoy many on the backbenches. Liam Fox is
:04:22. > :04:25.already grumbling about that. Also, I think quite legitimately, he's
:04:26. > :04:30.bringing in his own experiences of his son, who tragically died in
:04:31. > :04:34.2009, and saying, I know what the NHS can bring to people, I know the
:04:35. > :04:37.progress that can be made in DNA testing and what it could bring to
:04:38. > :04:40.families. I know some things could be cured. I think that is a
:04:41. > :04:44.legitimate thing to do and it gives him a personal force in this adamant
:04:45. > :04:48.that many other politicians would lack. What do you make of it? I
:04:49. > :04:53.think it's a clever him say that this should not be just a Labour
:04:54. > :04:57.tactic. It is something the Conservative Party can plant a flag
:04:58. > :05:03.on. The Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt today echoed that, saying, we are
:05:04. > :05:07.going to complete the vision of Nye Bevan. So clearly saying that this
:05:08. > :05:10.was something that Labour was maybe involved in the initially, but we
:05:11. > :05:13.are going to make it happen, specifically because they have been
:05:14. > :05:18.so good on the economy. Therefore, the strong economy holds a strong
:05:19. > :05:22.NHS, making that a very clear connection. You're never going to
:05:23. > :05:28.have a strong NHS unless you have the economy that is going to be able
:05:29. > :05:32.to afford it. To quote Bill Clinton, he always said, it's the economy,
:05:33. > :05:37.stupid. That is what Cameron has been saying all week. We have a
:05:38. > :05:40.plan, we have already sorted the recovery to a plan, we have a plan
:05:41. > :05:44.of how we are going to do it over the next five years. He's
:05:45. > :05:50.contrasting the perception that Labour's plans are perhaps not so
:05:51. > :05:54.coherent. I think it is very canny politics to make that contrast and
:05:55. > :05:57.tidy NHS, a sacred thing for everybody in this country,
:05:58. > :06:01.particularly for Labour voters, to tie that into the economy is very
:06:02. > :06:04.canny. I love the fact that he mentioned there should be doctors
:06:05. > :06:11.over the weekends for Saturday and Sunday. It makes so much sense. We
:06:12. > :06:18.have 24`7 grocery stores, and how much more important is our health?
:06:19. > :06:29.As I say, with this voice! You need to see your GP! I couldn't see one
:06:30. > :06:35.for three days. Let's contrast the headlines, the Guardian headline
:06:36. > :06:41.uses the word tries, the Telegraph is more robust? Yes, a pledge. It
:06:42. > :06:46.brings up the fact that they are going to finish the job and also
:06:47. > :06:51.making the very strong connection between the economy and the NHS,
:06:52. > :06:56.bringing in Jeremy Hunt. There is this quote here, completing Nye
:06:57. > :07:00.Bevan's vision for the NHS, that treats every patient with dignity
:07:01. > :07:03.and respect. Jeremy Hunt foreshadows the speech that will be given
:07:04. > :07:07.tomorrow by the Prime Minister. The other observation to make, it
:07:08. > :07:13.appeared in the Guardian piece, the idea that the NHS needs a lot more
:07:14. > :07:17.money than real terms increases, as is argued by quite a lot of people,
:07:18. > :07:22.because of the ageing population. Perhaps neither party is offering
:07:23. > :07:26.enough? That's a good point. Even as Jeremy Hunt and others have been
:07:27. > :07:30.seen to steal what would be seen as Labour's clothes, the Guardian makes
:07:31. > :07:33.the point that this promise by David Cameron might not even be enough to
:07:34. > :07:38.underwrite the massive increase that is going to be needed as we all live
:07:39. > :07:43.longer. Men in this country are now living 86 years, an average. In the
:07:44. > :07:48.past 30 years, that has gone up by five years. If that increases
:07:49. > :07:51.exponentially, the NHS will have a massive crisis on its hands and it
:07:52. > :07:56.will need even more than the increases that Karen is promising.
:07:57. > :07:59.We are also moving into an age where technology is changing everything
:08:00. > :08:03.and there is a different approach. It is no longer let you go to your
:08:04. > :08:05.doctor and they take care of your health, there is now personal
:08:06. > :08:11.responsibility, people are more aware, they can have digital things
:08:12. > :08:21.to be aware of their health, their cholesterol, their heart. Doesn't
:08:22. > :08:29.work for make, but it is a good idea. `` for me. Another story you
:08:30. > :08:32.picked out with reference to the air strikes over Iraq by British
:08:33. > :08:38.military planes. The first time they have actually dropped bombs on Iraqi
:08:39. > :08:40.targets. The RAF have been out there, flying sorties. There has
:08:41. > :08:44.been a little but criticism that they cannot find a target, because
:08:45. > :08:50.Parliament only voted for going into Iraq and not Syria, that they are
:08:51. > :08:53.unable to find targets. They are also doing reconnaissance missions.
:08:54. > :08:57.It's a lot more difficult in Iraq because the bases and the command
:08:58. > :09:05.and control are in Syria. So in Iraq, they are often finding moving
:09:06. > :09:08.targets, they can be trucks, it can be civilian areas. We have to be
:09:09. > :09:12.extremely careful on civilian deaths. The last thing we want to do
:09:13. > :09:18.is to make this into a West war against Islam. Right now, with five
:09:19. > :09:24.very strong Arab Sunni nations supporting the effort, it has been
:09:25. > :09:28.terrific. The efforts of the UK, I say make sure you have the targets,
:09:29. > :09:36.as they are doing. I don't think we should rush to say that they are not
:09:37. > :09:39.doing it. There was also the argument that because they can't
:09:40. > :09:44.find targets, the air strikes are working. The US has already degraded
:09:45. > :09:47.the major targets and ISIS is scared of sticking its head above the
:09:48. > :09:53.parapet because it knows it will be bombed from the air. You can spin it
:09:54. > :09:57.that way so, we are not finding targets because they are scared to
:09:58. > :10:01.come out their capacity is being diminished. They are being pinned
:10:02. > :10:04.down. Let's go to the front of the Independent. I know that you have
:10:05. > :10:09.been following events in Hong Kong closely. Dramatic photographs of the
:10:10. > :10:12.protesters that have been out on the streets of Hong Kong for a number of
:10:13. > :10:16.days. The headline, Britain weighs into the Hong Kong dispute because
:10:17. > :10:23.the Chinese ambassador is to be told of the UK's dismay? Rightly so. It's
:10:24. > :10:27.a very exciting moment. Somebody said, who is the leader? Someone
:10:28. > :10:33.responded, Hong Kong itself. They are calling it the umbrella
:10:34. > :10:37.revolution, because they have been using umbrellas to prevent the
:10:38. > :10:42.pepper spray. It's partly the police's own doing, by using tear
:10:43. > :10:46.gas and strong arm tactics. It is bringing more and more people out in
:10:47. > :10:50.the street. It started initially as a very peaceful demonstration. The
:10:51. > :10:59.next 24 hours RK because we have a national day when more people are
:11:00. > :11:04.coming out? It could explode in this huge devastation. One hopes it does
:11:05. > :11:08.not turn violent. I'm old enough to remember Tiananmen Square, the great
:11:09. > :11:11.surge of hope we had in the West. God forbid it should turn out like
:11:12. > :11:15.that. There is a real sense of optimism that the people are
:11:16. > :11:18.speaking, we are listening and expressing our dismay. Hopefully it
:11:19. > :11:22.will lead to something very positive in Hong Kong. I will have to call
:11:23. > :11:28.matters to a close for this hour. Thank you both very much. That is it
:11:29. > :11:31.for the papers. You will both be back with me at 11:34 another look
:11:32. > :11:46.at the front pages. Ahead of the sport, some breaking
:11:47. > :11:50.news from Dallas being reported by Associated Press that a patient
:11:51. > :11:55.being treated at a Dallas hospital has tested positive for Ebola. It is
:11:56. > :11:56.the first case of the disease to be diagnosed
