:00:00. > :00:16.the papers. Hello and welcome to

:00:17. > :00:19.our look ahead to what the papers Welcome to you both and thank you

:00:20. > :00:31.for coming in. The Independent devotes its front

:00:32. > :00:34.page to the government's proposal to launch air strikes against IS

:00:35. > :00:37.targets in Syria, declaring that it is based on "wishful thinking

:00:38. > :00:44.and poor information." The Daily Telegraph picks up

:00:45. > :00:47.on this evening's comments by the He called Labour leader

:00:48. > :00:50.Jeremy Corbyn and his allies The Times reports results

:00:51. > :00:55.of a poll which suggests less than half the country supports the UK

:00:56. > :00:58.taking action in Syria. While the Sun has pictures

:00:59. > :01:01.from a training exercise carried out today in London by armed police,

:01:02. > :01:03.aimed at thwarting a Paris-style The Mail carries claims of

:01:04. > :01:07.an internal Conservative Party row. It says an ally of

:01:08. > :01:10.Home Secretary Theresa May is accusing the Chancellor of

:01:11. > :01:12.encouraging mass immigration to help The Financial Times says the Bank of

:01:13. > :01:21.England has "drawn a line under the era of bank-bashing," by signalling

:01:22. > :01:24.it won't tighten restrictions The Mirror has the story

:01:25. > :01:33.of Britain's youngest ever organ donor, Hope Lee, who died just 74

:01:34. > :01:37.minutes after being born. And finally, the Express leads

:01:38. > :01:55.with the news that cutting your So, let us begin, and of course it

:01:56. > :01:59.is the vote on Syria tomorrow, around this time tomorrow night we

:02:00. > :02:05.will know the result of the vote. The Telegraph, first of all, have

:02:06. > :02:10.got this, allegedly, inflammatory language from the Prime Minister he

:02:11. > :02:18.used to Tory backbenchers to describe Jeremy Corbyn and those who

:02:19. > :02:22.will vote against. Yes, tonight at the 1922 Committee of backbenchers.

:02:23. > :02:29.It reflects a shift in tone from David Cameron on the Syria debate

:02:30. > :02:35.which started as being quite measured, and very respectful on

:02:36. > :02:40.both sides. The Commons' statement last week had both David Cameron

:02:41. > :02:46.telling Jeremy Corbyn he restated his long-held opposition. He

:02:47. > :02:53.received praise from Labour MPs as well as his own team for the way he

:02:54. > :02:58.handed the statement, putting the government's case. It didn't last

:02:59. > :03:07.long. Maybe he is trying to rally his political troops into action.

:03:08. > :03:11.The atmosphere is definitely fed -- febrile, verging on acrimonious. On

:03:12. > :03:19.the one hand, we have his attack on those who walk through the lobbies

:03:20. > :03:22.in opposition to the plan for airstrikes, accusing them of being

:03:23. > :03:28.terrorist sympathisers. Extraordinary. I must confess, after

:03:29. > :03:33.his very well measured comment in the last two or three days, to say

:03:34. > :03:40.this is exceptional. Is he saying the Tories in his party who don't

:03:41. > :03:45.want to go in our terrorist sympathisers? Is David Davis, the

:03:46. > :03:51.Foreign Affairs Select Committee, the majority who don't want to bomb

:03:52. > :03:57.them, terrorist sympathisers? Having said that, the behaviour of Labour

:03:58. > :04:00.MPs leaves a lot to be desired. Some have gone to Labour MPs who are

:04:01. > :04:06.against bombing in Syria and has said that, sorry, who are voting for

:04:07. > :04:11.bombing in Syria, saying they will kill innocent children and people.

:04:12. > :04:15.They show them a picture of a dead baby to remind them of what won't

:04:16. > :04:18.happen, which is inappropriate. While David Cameron's sites are on

:04:19. > :04:26.the opposition and those who won't back the strikes mission, Jeremy

:04:27. > :04:32.Corbyn turned on his own party, issuing a thinly veiled threat to

:04:33. > :04:35.those who would back David Cameron, saying there would be no hiding

:04:36. > :04:41.place and it would lead to innocence being killed. That is filtering down

:04:42. > :04:44.through the party. More than 100 MPs I believe have received an e-mail

:04:45. > :04:52.from someone claiming to be a Labour member, part of the Momentum

:04:53. > :04:54.Movement in the party, in which they are threatening deselection, and

:04:55. > :05:02.saying this will be payback for the Labour members. This is the

:05:03. > :05:05.behaviour that turns the public against politicians. There is

:05:06. > :05:10.nothing more crucial than this and they are bringing party politics in

:05:11. > :05:17.such a dramatic way. That is exactly what turns people off politics. The

:05:18. > :05:21.Independent have a powerful piece by Patrick Cockburn. There is all sorts

:05:22. > :05:27.of stuff in the papers. There is a deluge of opinion. Yes. This is a

:05:28. > :05:34.striking front page with a picture of a fighter jet. They can be

:05:35. > :05:41.heading to Syria tomorrow night to start airstrikes. Patrick Cockburn

:05:42. > :05:45.is a very well respected and long-standing war correspondent.

:05:46. > :05:52.They have quoted from his piece, Miller Street strategy is based on

:05:53. > :05:57.misinformation -- military strategy. There is a lot of detail, not just

:05:58. > :06:02.suggested by the Prime Minister, but this issue everyone seems to be

:06:03. > :06:06.gathering a round, the 70,000 troops on the ground. It seems almost

:06:07. > :06:12.inevitable that you need people on the ground -- around. You also have

:06:13. > :06:21.to follow it through and make sure you clear out ISIS. This 70,000

:06:22. > :06:21.forced, presented via the Prime Minister, sounds like a unified

:06:22. > :06:34.army, from the Kurds to the Turkmen to

:06:35. > :06:39.President Assad's own forces -- ranging. To try to get them all on

:06:40. > :06:45.one side and into some sort of credible armed fighting force will

:06:46. > :06:50.be hard. We have no idea how it will end, less than the idea we had about

:06:51. > :06:59.Iraq, so Patrick Cockburn has a point. We have got the Times, with

:07:00. > :07:02.the dramatic picture of protest is outside parliament - don't bomb

:07:03. > :07:07.Syria. They've got a poll suggesting, although it has

:07:08. > :07:13.fluctuated, less than half of voters support airstrikes. It does not

:07:14. > :07:15.surprise me at all, quite frankly, with what has been said, and with

:07:16. > :07:21.what we have not discovered in the past. Like a lot of people, I have

:07:22. > :07:25.been wavering on this. Maybe we should go in, then I think maybe we

:07:26. > :07:30.shouldn't. There are so many questions that haven't been

:07:31. > :07:33.answered. You cannot bomb your way to democracy, as Jeremy Corbyn has

:07:34. > :07:40.said. You cannot go in without a plan. Tomorrow is a crucial day. If

:07:41. > :07:47.you were an NTU would be wavering? I would be waiting to see what David

:07:48. > :07:53.Cameron has to say about the sources of financial aid for ISIS Mufti oil

:07:54. > :08:00.supply they have -- if you were an MP, you would be wavering? I want

:08:01. > :08:06.what we know to be public before making a final decision. Will it

:08:07. > :08:11.influence MPs, will they vote according to what they have heard in

:08:12. > :08:15.the debate? A lot of have made up their minds. Apparently, 30 Labour

:08:16. > :08:22.MPs have not yet nailed their colours to the mast. People might be

:08:23. > :08:26.swayed in the debate itself. These are very emotive occasion. Members

:08:27. > :08:30.in the press gallery in the House of Commons, during the Iraq War debate,

:08:31. > :08:34.head of the invasion, which had troops on the ground, it was very

:08:35. > :08:39.different in that respect, but the feelings of passion with people like

:08:40. > :08:45.Robin Cook resigning over it, and the tension, which was tangible. It

:08:46. > :08:50.is strange in a way, because warplanes are attacking ISIS in Iraq

:08:51. > :08:53.already. This is a question of moving across the border. Moving

:08:54. > :08:59.across the border without troops on the ground. You've got troops on the

:09:00. > :09:03.ground in Iraq to support you. In history I don't think there has been

:09:04. > :09:10.a campaign of bombing that has ended in victory. We need more. US special

:09:11. > :09:14.forces on the ground. A lot of people opposing action say that

:09:15. > :09:18.because we don't know the endgame, this is a vote on airstrikes. It is

:09:19. > :09:24.a motion that no ground troops will be committed. What happens 18 months

:09:25. > :09:29.down the line, maybe the Vienna peace talks have not led to a

:09:30. > :09:36.transition from Assad... Who can you negotiate with? How can you

:09:37. > :09:41.negotiate peace? We need more people involved, for a start, and more

:09:42. > :09:46.information about what's going on. If you have feet on the ground, they

:09:47. > :09:53.have to be from countries in that region, but also a UN force, will

:09:54. > :09:57.Russia and China sign up? We could debate Syria all night and the

:09:58. > :10:03.Commons will be debating it all day tomorrow. The Daily Mail have a

:10:04. > :10:08.story about George Osborne banking on migration to boost economy. It is

:10:09. > :10:15.an odd story to run on a day like this. George Osborne, they say, has

:10:16. > :10:18.been accused of encouraging mass migration to balance the books on

:10:19. > :10:27.the grounds that the bigger the economy overall means spending cuts

:10:28. > :10:34.affect increases when the deficit measures according to GDP. The

:10:35. > :10:40.bigger economy. Is it about Theresa May against George Osborne and the

:10:41. > :10:50.Tory leadership? Both. George Osborne can put a ?27 billion rabbit

:10:51. > :10:53.out of the hat. The office of the responsibility predictions suggested

:10:54. > :11:02.180,000 more people coming to the UK and generating more income and

:11:03. > :11:08.therefore the economy would be boosted. However, the source of this

:11:09. > :11:12.story is a former special adviser, who worked with Theresa May for five

:11:13. > :11:19.years. They are close to the -- very close to the Home Secretary. It is

:11:20. > :11:24.very true that immigration is always a top issue at when you ask the

:11:25. > :11:29.public at elections and so on, it comes to the top of the list.

:11:30. > :11:33.Theresa May is calculating what will happen when David Cameron goes. She

:11:34. > :11:40.is looking at the lineup and thinking, there are two Tory left

:11:41. > :11:43.candidates and someone has to keep either right crowd, occupy the

:11:44. > :11:52.immigration argument. That is a debate for another day -- has to

:11:53. > :11:56.keep to the right. Shelling a small amount of fat could cure type 2

:11:57. > :12:01.diabetes -- shedding. That is according to the Daily Express and

:12:02. > :12:06.Newcastle University. Losing a tiny amount of fat around the pancreas

:12:07. > :12:11.can radically affect the condition of diabetes, type 2 diabetes. As far

:12:12. > :12:18.as I know, fat has always been a factor in diabetes, people say it is

:12:19. > :12:23.partly because of being overweight, but this is about fat just around

:12:24. > :12:27.that particular organ. If you lose it, you can improve your condition.

:12:28. > :12:34.Let's move on to the Financial Times, which as usual has a picture

:12:35. > :12:39.of footballers on the front page. Don't ask me about this because

:12:40. > :12:43.football is not my forte. I know your husband is a Manchester City

:12:44. > :12:53.supporter. So am I. The front of the Financial Times. More money for

:12:54. > :13:02.them. 13% Chinese state. The biggest win for Sheikh Mansour, who owns

:13:03. > :13:08.13%. Not a bad day for him. Good news for the club. Sheikh Mansour

:13:09. > :13:11.has been very good to the area around the ground, lots of

:13:12. > :13:17.development going on, massive training ground, a new college and

:13:18. > :13:22.swimming pool, helping 8000 new homes in the area, providing the

:13:23. > :13:25.area which was badly run down. You sound like a press officer at

:13:26. > :13:31.Manchester City! It is good news all round. And they won tonight, so it

:13:32. > :13:37.doesn't get better. The Chinese President visited. Of course. Even

:13:38. > :13:42.though he is allegedly a Manchester United fan. He had a photograph with

:13:43. > :13:50.David Cameron. And the star striker, Sergio Aguero. No questions on human

:13:51. > :13:54.rights. Does it enter into it? Certainly not in the investment with

:13:55. > :13:58.nuclear power, Chinese investment, and transport and infrastructure, it

:13:59. > :14:05.has been conveniently forgotten. I want to see whether the Man City

:14:06. > :14:09.website talks about its books. I think they will be stocking lots of

:14:10. > :14:15.Manchester City shirts. Light blue books. Thank you so much for being

:14:16. > :14:16.with us. It was a pleasure to have you with us. Coming up next,

:14:17. > :14:30.Sportsday. Hello and welcome to Sportsday,

:14:31. > :14:32.with me Ore Oduba. Everton seal their spot in the

:14:33. > :14:37.semi-finals of the Capital One Cup. Delefeou dazzles in

:14:38. > :14:39.the win over Middlesbrough.
