:00:00. > :00:00.lots of runs on the opening day of their first Tour match. That's all

:00:00. > :00:14.coming up in the next 15 minutes straight after the papers.

:00:15. > :00:16.Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers

:00:17. > :00:22.With me are the Middle East correspondent for the

:00:23. > :00:24.Wall Street Journal, Margaret Coker, and the business correpondent

:00:25. > :00:30.The FT says that Bank of England governor Mark Carney has signalled

:00:31. > :00:39.there'll be no haste to raise UK interest rates.

:00:40. > :00:42.The Express reckons that falling oil prices could hit millions

:00:43. > :00:45.The i warns of a Christmas travel nightmare, with rail links

:00:46. > :00:53.The NHS watchdog has told doctors that they must show more respect to

:00:54. > :00:57.dying patients after complaints from families, according to The Sun.

:00:58. > :01:00.The Telegraph says the UK would be prepared to back ground forces

:01:01. > :01:03.from a newly-formed coalition of Muslim countries in an attack on

:01:04. > :01:07.The Mail leads with a story about Prince Charles being shown

:01:08. > :01:09.confidential cabinet papers for many years.

:01:10. > :01:12.The Guardian has the same story, but also carries a picture of

:01:13. > :01:14.Tim Peake's Soyuz rocket blasting off on its way to

:01:15. > :01:21.And the Times carries news of plans for

:01:22. > :01:24.a European Union force which would protect the EU's external borders.

:01:25. > :01:39.We will start with the Mirror, which has a clever mix of the Star Wars

:01:40. > :01:47.premiere and a real life in space for Tim Peake. May the force be with

:01:48. > :01:51.you, dad. That was among one of the most touching moments, him with his

:01:52. > :01:58.family on earth and speaking to them from the International Space

:01:59. > :02:01.Station. Absolutely. When his son got to the microphone and said his

:02:02. > :02:06.goodbye to his father was very sweet. In America, lots of kids from

:02:07. > :02:13.the 60s have dreams of being an astronaut. Finally, congratulations,

:02:14. > :02:20.Britain. They were watching all over the country, which is good news for

:02:21. > :02:22.the space agencies, to be honest. Absolutely, NASA in particular has

:02:23. > :02:31.always been good with public relations, it has been a key part of

:02:32. > :02:35.its activities, to get funding. If children are more interested in

:02:36. > :02:41.space, maybe more people will study spines. This is where we may get

:02:42. > :02:45.dividends. It costs about 300 million to the UK each year. The

:02:46. > :02:53.astronaut going up is not the main payoff. Interesting looking at the

:02:54. > :02:59.Times, they also have the advert for the first review of Star Wars, and

:03:00. > :03:03.then a picture of Tim Peake entering the International Space Station.

:03:04. > :03:10.What do you think kids would rather read about, Star Wars or Tim Peake

:03:11. > :03:16.Les --? It depends on their Christmas list, doesn't it? What is

:03:17. > :03:23.interesting to me as someone who started their career in the former

:03:24. > :03:29.Soviet Union, the IS is a place where Russians and people over the

:03:30. > :03:35.world co-operate on scientific discovery -- ISS. All in a days

:03:36. > :03:40.work, according to the Times. That is just the start of it. Six months

:03:41. > :03:43.of important experiments and no doubt more conversations with

:03:44. > :03:49.schoolchildren and Britain from around the world with the ISS.

:03:50. > :03:54.Absolutely. It has taken a decade. Six years of preparation. 2.5 years

:03:55. > :04:00.training for this mission. Maybe there is a lesson for children,

:04:01. > :04:08.exercise and you have to work hard and it may come in the end. 30 years

:04:09. > :04:12.for Star Wars as well... LAUGHS. Now, onto other matters, the Times

:04:13. > :04:18.dedicating some of its front page to the EU army to protect borders. The

:04:19. > :04:23.subhead line, talking about thousands of troops planned. This

:04:24. > :04:26.comes as the migrant crisis overshadows David Cameron, who is

:04:27. > :04:33.trying to revive the renegotiation of the British membership. Yeah,

:04:34. > :04:37.this is a fascinating story that leaves a lot of unanswered

:04:38. > :04:41.questions. Right now this proposal is in the planning stage. The EU

:04:42. > :04:47.moves very slowly. Will this be implemented? From the pictures we

:04:48. > :04:52.are familiar with from summer, border control and security is a

:04:53. > :05:00.huge issue right now. The existing institution, front axle, which helps

:05:01. > :05:05.keep the see it safe needs more funding -- Frontex. The issue is of

:05:06. > :05:09.course that there is multiple frontiers when tackling the migrant

:05:10. > :05:14.crisis, it is not just about securing borders but about helping

:05:15. > :05:19.people as well. And the question is what will the so-called EU army do?

:05:20. > :05:29.Will it support people. Hand Atwater? We will discuss it -- hand

:05:30. > :05:33.out water? Even if a country does not want the help of the force, it

:05:34. > :05:37.could go in to help the country secure its borders. That is what

:05:38. > :05:42.newspapers focus on today. Already, some countries have come and spoken

:05:43. > :05:47.out against it. Clearly, that is an area which is quite testing. The

:05:48. > :05:51.sovereignty of nations could be impacted. Even if this idea gets

:05:52. > :05:55.through, it mightn't come through in the form in which it is being

:05:56. > :06:01.discussed. And as the paper points out, while the focus is on the

:06:02. > :06:08.migrant crisis, less focus on what David Cameron wants for the future

:06:09. > :06:13.of Britain and the EU. That is true. He wanted the main agenda to be

:06:14. > :06:20.about Britain. He has had some good news today. Mr Tusk has said there

:06:21. > :06:26.is no taboo. Hopefully the issues will come up. Playing second fiddle

:06:27. > :06:29.to the migrant issue. The next or you want to talk about in the

:06:30. > :06:34.Telegraph is kind of linked with this -- next story you want to talk

:06:35. > :06:41.about. If there was an persecution in Iraq and Syria, people wouldn't

:06:42. > :06:44.perhaps be fleeing to Europe -- wasn't. The Daily Telegraph is one

:06:45. > :06:49.of a number suggesting the UK could background force attacks on

:06:50. > :06:56.so-called Islamic State. It is a story with a lot of caveats. The US,

:06:57. > :07:00.the UK and others have said they were not put boots on the ground.

:07:01. > :07:04.The question is who will. Arab states led by Saudi Arabia will put

:07:05. > :07:10.together their own Muslim coalition of fighters. However, it is not

:07:11. > :07:14.clear where any force will come from and what nationality. This seems

:07:15. > :07:17.like an easy win for David Cameron to look tough on security and

:07:18. > :07:21.terrorism without putting together a really concrete package about what

:07:22. > :07:27.it means for Britain's defends expenses or its own forces. There is

:07:28. > :07:34.a lot of nervousness about how far to go in Syria and Iraq. It took

:07:35. > :07:41.David attempts to get backing for a -- Eric power. The action today it

:07:42. > :07:44.is a move to avoid having to do that -- air power. What he is saying is

:07:45. > :07:51.if Muslim countries try to solve it, we will support them. The hope

:07:52. > :07:54.would be that countries like Saudi Arabia and Pakistan can solve the

:07:55. > :07:59.problem, thereby making sure Britain does not have to do anything more.

:08:00. > :08:04.The only issue is with this new agenda unveiled today. We don't have

:08:05. > :08:10.the details. How will these foreign countries and to Syria to secure the

:08:11. > :08:19.area? They say they also don't want another void to be filled by the

:08:20. > :08:24.Assad regime, if ISIS is removed. It is difficult to see how it will

:08:25. > :08:29.work. And where is the UK are going to get the air assets to support

:08:30. > :08:35.another mission? Where do the bombers come from, logistics and

:08:36. > :08:38.cargo planes? There is the defence budget issue in the UK. Lots of good

:08:39. > :08:44.headlines without a lot of meat behind them. What is different about

:08:45. > :08:50.tackling Islamic State is the continued incentive to involve

:08:51. > :08:55.Muslim countries, to involve... It doesn't become bad foreign policy

:08:56. > :09:00.that many experts have blamed on creating Jihad. Depending on how far

:09:01. > :09:04.back in history you want to go, people will argue that Al-Qaeda is a

:09:05. > :09:09.response to every bad regime in Saudi Arabia and the other Gulf

:09:10. > :09:19.monarchies which don't support democracy. And that it evolved.

:09:20. > :09:23.Yes, into something extreme. -- if you are on the road to

:09:24. > :09:27.radicalisation, in Syria and Iraq where there are Muslims fighting, it

:09:28. > :09:33.went to sleep you from joining ISIS. Shall we move on to the Guardian?

:09:34. > :09:47.Interesting story on the front page, next to the

:09:48. > :09:51.to the heir of the throne. Continued focus on Prince Charles's

:09:52. > :09:56.relationship with politicians. In one sense the argument is that this

:09:57. > :10:00.has gone on for decades, back to the 1930s, in that the heir to the

:10:01. > :10:01.throne has to prepare for his final position and therefore should access

:10:02. > :10:07.this information. That is the The criticism today is Prince

:10:08. > :10:10.Charles is unlike some previous monarchs in that he takes a

:10:11. > :10:17.political road and lobbies certain issues. We had the private letters,

:10:18. > :10:23.which were finally published after the London debate. The argument is

:10:24. > :10:29.that Prince Charles has information which helped him lobby for his pet

:10:30. > :10:32.causes more effectively, and that does not fit with his constitutional

:10:33. > :10:38.role -- helps him. That is the basis. What is interesting is this

:10:39. > :10:55.has come from a freedom of information request from an NGO, and

:10:56. > :11:01.Thai -- and anti-Monarch. We would all like more access to government

:11:02. > :11:04.documents. When you look at the parallel in the US, with Wikileaks

:11:05. > :11:10.and the diplomatic cables spread out across the Internet, one thing

:11:11. > :11:14.that, when US officials got over the embarrassment, what they started to

:11:15. > :11:18.say was, you will see that what we say in public is what you will see

:11:19. > :11:21.that we have said in private. I would say that maybe Prince Charles

:11:22. > :11:26.can take some of that comfort as well. I think people pretty much

:11:27. > :11:32.know what he believes in and the causes that he adopts. He has never

:11:33. > :11:35.been shy of saying that. Let's move on to the inside pages of the Daily

:11:36. > :11:41.Mail to get more information on their lead story. The arrogance of

:11:42. > :11:46.doctors still using banned deaf pathway. This follows complaints

:11:47. > :11:55.from families of loved ones that have died and how they were treated

:11:56. > :11:58.by NHS staff -- death pathway. When you are told you are terminal and

:11:59. > :12:04.have no right to care or comfort and you will be left to die, it really

:12:05. > :12:10.is a nightmare. It rings all of the bells when it comes to, as an

:12:11. > :12:15.American or European, in that the government has run a mark.

:12:16. > :12:25.Continuing scandals on this subject, it looks quite bad -- amck. The

:12:26. > :12:31.government launched a report last year to say that we shouldn't have

:12:32. > :12:36.this. Some officials say it is being continued in places. It is obviously

:12:37. > :12:40.a worry for people with family in hospitals, who potentially might be

:12:41. > :12:45.the kind of people to be put on this pathway. We will read more about

:12:46. > :12:48.what the Daily Mail says. It points out that people are often quick to

:12:49. > :12:52.point the finger and blame. Sometimes at the wrong people. Is it

:12:53. > :12:59.the doctors, the nurses, or the pressure put on them from above as

:13:00. > :13:06.well? The pressure is budgetary. It is basically creating more spare

:13:07. > :13:09.beds. This isn't the issue. There is not enough money to go around for

:13:10. > :13:13.the services we need and people are looking at ways to be more

:13:14. > :13:18.efficient, would be the description. Inappropriate

:13:19. > :13:23.deaths... That is not the kind of wording a family member would use

:13:24. > :13:27.when discussing this. It seems a policy which everyone has agreed is

:13:28. > :13:31.not a good idea. But it basically grew out of the need to free up

:13:32. > :13:39.space and to save money, so it is... And then how are we going to

:13:40. > :13:45.solve this problem? We have been saying that since 2012, according to

:13:46. > :13:52.the Daily Mail. One headline, did NHS kill my mother to free up a bed

:13:53. > :14:01.in 2012. Lonely death on the care pathway. July 30, 2015, here it is

:14:02. > :14:06.again. And December, 2015. It has been going on for a long time.

:14:07. > :14:10.Indeed, it is surprising. People are coming and finding that, I mean,

:14:11. > :14:16.family members have been denied water and food and literally been

:14:17. > :14:19.left to die because someone decided they were dying. One of the points

:14:20. > :14:23.made today is that doctors don't always know if someone is dying or

:14:24. > :14:27.not. Someone who is being helped along the way on the basis of

:14:28. > :14:31.possibly an erroneous decision about whether they will die or not, there

:14:32. > :14:36.is mention in this story that some individuals who may have recovered

:14:37. > :14:39.were actually put on this pathway, which is very worrying. The Daily

:14:40. > :14:45.Telegraph, the intriguing story, as it often is with the Daily

:14:46. > :14:48.Telegraph, who always has a high story count why eating lettuce is

:14:49. > :14:56.not so green. Who wants to go for it? LAUGHS.

:14:57. > :15:00.Yeah, well, I am leery of things that smack of junk science! I am not

:15:01. > :15:05.so sure where they are going with this. If you believe everything the

:15:06. > :15:12.papers say about food and you would starve to death! And I am a print

:15:13. > :15:15.journalist. We've just had a very big climate change conference. We've

:15:16. > :15:21.just had an enormous amount of international tension. On carbon

:15:22. > :15:25.emissions and global warming. It is very contrary to come back and say

:15:26. > :15:29.the vegetables you eat are things we should focus on. I don't think those

:15:30. > :15:36.sitting in Paris last week considered lettuce as the major game

:15:37. > :15:40.changer on climate issues! We have been warned about bacon and other

:15:41. > :15:48.meat. They said that bacon is bad for us, and yet, we cut down trees

:15:49. > :15:55.to make space. My bacon sandwich in the morning is much healthier. Are

:15:56. > :15:57.you going to put letters in it? I am thinking about the environment and I

:15:58. > :16:02.will keep the letters in the fridge and the shop. Always a pleasure.

:16:03. > :16:09.Thank you for taking us through the papers. Thank you for joining us.

:16:10. > :16:14.Coming up next, it it's Sportsday. -- it's.

:16:15. > :16:17.Hello, I'm Olly Foster, here's what coming up on Sportsday tonight.
