:00:16. > :00:18.Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers

:00:19. > :00:42.Thank you to our guests for joining us.

:00:43. > :00:45.The Independent leads with the Mali hotel siege and the headline,

:00:46. > :00:48."Another Bloody Friday," a week on from the Paris attacks.

:00:49. > :00:51.The Guardian shows a picture of a vigil held in the French

:00:52. > :00:53.capital today and also reports on the Mali attack.

:00:54. > :00:57.The same story on the FT, showing an injured man being carried away from

:00:58. > :01:01.The Times focuses on a resolution, now approved by the

:01:02. > :01:03.UN Security Council, calling on member states to double their action

:01:04. > :01:08.The Telegraph says Britain is poised to join air strikes against IS

:01:09. > :01:10.in Syria after senior Labour MPs publicly defied their leader,

:01:11. > :01:18.The Mirror reports security chiefs are warning Islamic State could be

:01:19. > :01:23.plotting an attack on British ferries.

:01:24. > :01:26.The Express leads with the rise in the basic state pension

:01:27. > :01:28.expected to be announced in next week's Autumn Statement.

:01:29. > :01:35.And the Mail claims police are to probe a Tory scandal.

:01:36. > :01:47.We will begin with the siege that took place today in Mali and the

:01:48. > :01:52.capital, Bamako. It is the main picture and the main headline in the

:01:53. > :01:55.Independent. Special Forces stormed building to release hostages but the

:01:56. > :02:00.fate of many guests is still unclear. A very sad picture of a

:02:01. > :02:07.body in a bag being removed from the hotel. It seems that it is all

:02:08. > :02:13.over. Very conflicting reports but it appears that they have put an end

:02:14. > :02:20.to the siege and thankfully the majority of people got out, but not

:02:21. > :02:24.all. Yes. There were 76 hostages. The raid began before seven o'clock

:02:25. > :02:28.this morning, so it seems that from varied reports that they have

:02:29. > :02:34.checked the entire hotel, all seven floors of it, and everyone is out

:02:35. > :02:39.and accounted for. Because of where it took place, James, there were

:02:40. > :02:44.French and US forces in the area as part of the peacekeeping force. They

:02:45. > :02:49.were able to respond quickly. Absolutely. Despite the fact that

:02:50. > :02:52.this was an obvious security targets, it continues the trend

:02:53. > :02:57.where we have seen planes, trains, shopping centres in a hotel like

:02:58. > :03:03.this. There are reports here that the attackers came in a car with

:03:04. > :03:07.diplomatic numberplates. Absolutely, there were special forces close by

:03:08. > :03:10.and with the death toll close to 20, it could have been a lot worse.

:03:11. > :03:13.There are conflicting reports that there were up to 170 hostages at one

:03:14. > :03:51.point. The outcome is targeted enough.

:03:52. > :03:56.People who generally go to the hotel, generally it is the target,

:03:57. > :04:10.they were made to the target. The president of Mali says they are

:04:11. > :04:14.declaring a national state of emergency in the wake of the hotel

:04:15. > :04:24.attack. It also goes on to say that 21 people have died. That includes

:04:25. > :04:38.two militants and seven injured. This is a highly reliable news

:04:39. > :04:43.source. Moving onto the Guardian. People spontaneously turning up

:04:44. > :04:50.across the week, not just today, but in the places where these attacks

:04:51. > :04:56.happened. And this need to be there, this need to applaud and reflect has

:04:57. > :04:59.happened all week. Absolutely. We are seven days on end it feels like

:05:00. > :05:04.it was only happening just hours earlier tonight. It was last Friday

:05:05. > :05:09.that these attacks took place. People were urged to come out, urged

:05:10. > :05:13.to go to the bars and cafes, but one feels that they did not need too

:05:14. > :05:17.much encouragement to get out. Parisians wanted to come out and be

:05:18. > :05:22.defiant and showing solidarity. The Place de la Republique was full of

:05:23. > :05:28.people singing the national anthem tonight. It is a show of defiance.

:05:29. > :05:32.But we would be wrong to think that people are getting on with their

:05:33. > :05:38.lives. There are less and less people now in this world that have

:05:39. > :05:42.not been touched by terrorism. Paris still has a long way to go before it

:05:43. > :05:46.even gets back to a sense of normality. Nowhere close at the

:05:47. > :05:52.moment. Yes, it is defiant, but this is not normal. The Times is thinking

:05:53. > :06:04.of the concern that so many countries have. The world unites to

:06:05. > :06:10.wipe ISIS, maps. -- ISIS from the map. Calling on nations to take

:06:11. > :06:12.action by any necessary means. It is giving permission without there

:06:13. > :06:20.being a legally binding aspects to this. Exactly. However, this is

:06:21. > :06:24.quite a move for all of the governments that are involved.

:06:25. > :06:27.Before, we have the regular standouts of Russia and China,

:06:28. > :06:32.however it feels like we will get a decision either later tonight or

:06:33. > :06:37.early tomorrow morning and everyone will be behind living outside of

:06:38. > :06:45.Iraq and into Syria would air strikes. The UN has essentially been

:06:46. > :06:48.a bystander up until now on this and there was always the aspect of

:06:49. > :06:54.Russia and China vetoing any action to go into Syria. But now we have a

:06:55. > :06:59.united voice and what it means politically, obviously, is that it

:07:00. > :07:01.gives David Cameron the sort of leveraged that he needed to get a

:07:02. > :07:06.House of Commons motion through and that puts much more pressure on

:07:07. > :07:09.Jeremy Corbyn. And it seems that he will still attempt to give his

:07:10. > :07:13.speech tomorrow where he will make it clear that he still believes that

:07:14. > :07:21.Western intervention in the Middle East has led to more tax.

:07:22. > :07:25.Potentially, up until last Friday, there might be more people

:07:26. > :07:30.suggesting the same. But things have changed so much since then. And this

:07:31. > :07:39.is looking at the British aspect of this. Britain set to strike ISIS, as

:07:40. > :07:45.Labour MPs defy Corbyn. We don't know if they will need to define

:07:46. > :07:49.Corbyn. We have to let the man speak tomorrow but we don't know how many

:07:50. > :07:54.Labour MPs will follow him. We don't. Last week, there were reports

:07:55. > :07:59.of 20 and now it seems that number has increased to 60 MPs who are

:08:00. > :08:05.anticipating that he will be against the additional hour strikes. -- air

:08:06. > :08:16.strikes. However, they have been quite vocal. Is looking at some of

:08:17. > :08:25.the quotes... Is pacifist views -- Corbyn's have to -- Jeremy Corbyn's

:08:26. > :08:29.pacifist views could exclude him from office. Very strong statements.

:08:30. > :08:34.What does Britain do if it gets a mandate to go into Syria? And that

:08:35. > :08:39.point is not been stressed enough by David Cameron. It is being stressed

:08:40. > :08:45.by one Afghan veteran, who is just that Britain has specific tactical

:08:46. > :08:49.capabilities that would mean that we can help in the fight against ISIS,

:08:50. > :08:54.but the other issue is what happens when we have that time and space

:08:55. > :09:00.after we go into Syria? We don't exactly have a great track record in

:09:01. > :09:04.the west of cleaning up our rubbish afterwards. And one suggests that

:09:05. > :09:07.the case has still not been made here, an ironclad case, to

:09:08. > :09:14.potentially get the House of Commons vote. He is not as after a tight

:09:15. > :09:18.majority. He wants the House of Commons with him on this. He wants

:09:19. > :09:23.to be able to share the blame and responsibility. He wants a big

:09:24. > :09:35.number on this. This will concentrate all sorts of mines.

:09:36. > :09:40.Ferries. -- minds. The cross-channel ferry could potentially be a target.

:09:41. > :09:45.It is not surprising given the geography of our countries. I think

:09:46. > :09:56.that it would be wise for us, particularly looking at... Some of

:09:57. > :10:00.the migrant crises and the refugees and the association with the

:10:01. > :10:06.migrants coming through the ferry system, I'm not surprised that they

:10:07. > :10:14.are looking at this. It would be silly not to. This is the Autumn

:10:15. > :10:17.Statement from the Chancellor. Looking at the bigger pension

:10:18. > :10:24.pay-outs that everyone will get. They are not overwhelmingly

:10:25. > :10:27.increasing the pensions. I'm enjoying some of these quotes. This

:10:28. > :10:34.is apparently cracking news for pensioners, especially after another

:10:35. > :10:39.tough year for many. What about childcare? What about the cost of

:10:40. > :10:43.living in central London? How do I go out and buy a house at the moment

:10:44. > :10:48.with the other factors I have to face as a relatively young person?

:10:49. > :10:53.The argument for people having pensions is that they are on fixed

:10:54. > :11:01.incomes. Yes. I have to be patient. Yes. But let us be honest. Pensions

:11:02. > :11:10.are budgeting. When you have a pension, EU budget based on interest

:11:11. > :11:13.rates. -- you budget based on. Frankly, we do need some kind of

:11:14. > :11:23.guarantee against inflation. They will only get ?3 and 35p per week

:11:24. > :11:29.extra, so don't spend it all at once. Tax shortfall threatening

:11:30. > :11:35.borrowing goals. He is going to miss this by quite a margin. And it puts

:11:36. > :11:42.into jeopardy all of the plans that he had to eliminate borrowing by

:11:43. > :11:48.2019 and 2020. Increases with regards to income tax, national

:11:49. > :11:52.insurance, corporate tax, VAT... That means we will feel it in other

:11:53. > :12:00.places. He could always increased taxes. Absolutely. And maybe VAT

:12:01. > :12:06.could be looked at by George Osborne ahead of the Spending Review. But

:12:07. > :12:10.missing this target by ?10 billion. I know that George Osborne is a bit

:12:11. > :12:15.of a political Houdini, but this might be too much even for him. We

:12:16. > :12:19.will wait to see what he has to say on Wednesday. Thank you for joining

:12:20. > :12:39.us this evening. That is it from us tonight. Coming up next, Sportsday.
