Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers | :00:00. | :00:19. | |
With me are James Rampton, Features Writer for the Independent and | :00:20. | :00:25. | |
the academic and former government policy advisor, Zamilla Bunglawala. | :00:26. | :00:27. | |
The Times leads with the video released by so-called | :00:28. | :00:30. | |
Islamic State which shows the execution of five individuals | :00:31. | :00:32. | |
The Guardian headlines the same story, saying the jihadist | :00:33. | :00:43. | |
The paper also mentions an English-speaking boy who appeared | :00:44. | :00:46. | |
The Telegraph also covers the video - with an image of the militant | :00:47. | :00:50. | |
The BBC has decided not to show the image. | :00:51. | :00:56. | |
The Independent front page claims David Cameron is facing criticism | :00:57. | :00:58. | |
for failing to condemn the Saudi Arabian killings yesterday. | :00:59. | :01:01. | |
The i headlines plans by the government to fast-track | :01:02. | :01:03. | |
the building of thousands of new homes to alleviate | :01:04. | :01:06. | |
The Express warns of a pensions crisis, as employers | :01:07. | :01:11. | |
struggle to meet their liabilities and stump up the necessary cash. | :01:12. | :01:17. | |
And the Mail leads with news that soldiers who served | :01:18. | :01:23. | |
The paper is concerned they could face a witch-hunt. | :01:24. | :01:30. | |
Let us begin with the story that has been dominating the news bulletins. | :01:31. | :01:37. | |
This new video that is set to come from so-called Islamic State. | :01:38. | :01:40. | |
difficult for people to independently verify. We do not know | :01:41. | :01:55. | |
who is in it. But the hunt for this gunman is on. A British sounding man | :01:56. | :02:00. | |
and a very small child. That is the shocking element. A small boy, you | :02:01. | :02:09. | |
can clearly see his face, he says that they will kill the unbelievers. | :02:10. | :02:14. | |
That is a shocking development, that they are utilising small children. | :02:15. | :02:21. | |
We have had child soldiers quite frequently in some places. A couple | :02:22. | :02:24. | |
of weeks ago, so-called Islamic State used younger boys to kill | :02:25. | :02:32. | |
prisoners. A TUC five-year-old child to issue threats against Britain is | :02:33. | :02:38. | |
a chilling development. -- but to use. They are masters of propaganda. | :02:39. | :02:46. | |
They are very good at capturing our attention. We are talking about it | :02:47. | :02:53. | |
now. This is a huge story in with an obvious British connection. We have | :02:54. | :03:00. | |
to take it seriously. And the efforts to trace who this man and | :03:01. | :03:08. | |
who this boy is could take months. We know it is a long process. It is | :03:09. | :03:19. | |
important, because we need to know where British nationals on. -- | :03:20. | :03:28. | |
National spa. Some of these militants come back into mainland | :03:29. | :03:33. | |
Europe. It is going to be very disturbing. Islamic State is very | :03:34. | :03:43. | |
good at using social media. Videos will be watched by young people. If | :03:44. | :03:48. | |
the objective is to appeal to young Europeans, this is going to be quite | :03:49. | :03:54. | |
effective. The purpose of these videos is to get people watching. | :03:55. | :04:01. | |
Through these people are is still important. It is not entirely clear. | :04:02. | :04:12. | |
The Guardian also talks about this story. There are so many elements of | :04:13. | :04:19. | |
this video which are chillingly reminiscent of those put out when | :04:20. | :04:25. | |
Muhamed Aussie was appearing in them. -- Emwazi. And they are | :04:26. | :04:38. | |
copying what he did. Accusing Britain of all kinds of serious | :04:39. | :04:43. | |
crimes. Calling David Cameron a slave of the White House. A detailed | :04:44. | :04:49. | |
knowledge of British politics. Talking about Tony Blair and Gordon | :04:50. | :04:54. | |
Brown. And the fact that soldiers are paid the minimum wage. He is | :04:55. | :04:59. | |
steeped in the knowledge of Britain. It is very chilling that | :05:00. | :05:05. | |
you can get somebody with that depth of knowledge issuing a direct | :05:06. | :05:14. | |
threat. We will get back to this story with the lack of criticism of | :05:15. | :05:17. | |
the killings in Saudi Arabia. There is so much going on in the Middle | :05:18. | :05:24. | |
East. It is a scary time. Looking at the other story in the Guardian. | :05:25. | :05:33. | |
Doctors row before strike deadline. There is the hope that they could | :05:34. | :05:40. | |
find some common ground. It is not going to be a strike, it is going to | :05:41. | :05:46. | |
be a series of strikes. It is important with the timing. The point | :05:47. | :05:52. | |
of the article is that this has been moved from number 10. The broader | :05:53. | :06:02. | |
point is we have 45,000 young doctors talking about issues and pay | :06:03. | :06:10. | |
conditions. They are an important part of making sure that the NHS | :06:11. | :06:17. | |
works and functions. For any of this to resolve, it will take months. We | :06:18. | :06:22. | |
need to look at how we deal with our professionals. Both sides | :06:23. | :06:28. | |
criticising each other, saying, we were prepared to talk. I would agree | :06:29. | :06:42. | |
with what was just said, it just shows how important the NHS is as a | :06:43. | :06:47. | |
political entity. I would say it is the greatest thing the country has | :06:48. | :06:52. | |
ever done. No government can suggest cutting it. You have to say all the | :06:53. | :06:56. | |
time that you are increasing funding and improving services. We love the | :06:57. | :07:02. | |
NHS. However difficult it is to run it, we feel a deep connection with | :07:03. | :07:07. | |
it. And if it appears to be breaking down because of government | :07:08. | :07:11. | |
intransigence, that is severe political damage. Soldiers furious, | :07:12. | :07:24. | |
ambulance chasers prosecuting the heroes of Iraq. This is the | :07:25. | :07:27. | |
investigation into a more full killing and treatment of Iraqi | :07:28. | :07:32. | |
civilians by British soldiers when we were fighting the war. This is | :07:33. | :07:40. | |
not right, this is a witch-hunt. People suggesting it is a waste of | :07:41. | :07:48. | |
money. People who fight for our country should be revered, so there | :07:49. | :07:58. | |
has to be balance in making sure this is the rule of law being | :07:59. | :08:06. | |
properly applied. The government set aside ?57 million on potential | :08:07. | :08:11. | |
claims. There is room for manoeuvre. That is important. We | :08:12. | :08:19. | |
should not forget the important job the armed services do for us. I | :08:20. | :08:26. | |
absolutely agree. This is what separates us from Islamic State. | :08:27. | :08:31. | |
Executing people with no trial or Jupiters of law. The great thing we | :08:32. | :08:39. | |
are promoting is the idea that people are entitled to a fair trial. | :08:40. | :08:45. | |
That is the same for soldiers and potential alleged victims of war | :08:46. | :08:49. | |
crimes. You must be seen to be doing the right thing legally. A pledge to | :08:50. | :08:55. | |
fast track building of new homes, a shift in policy. Small firms will | :08:56. | :09:01. | |
get the chance to develop sites. How much detail is there? It seems very | :09:02. | :09:09. | |
vague. I am not an expert on housing. I am an expert on cricket | :09:10. | :09:17. | |
instead. TV programmes. I think it seems a bit wishy-washy. Affordable | :09:18. | :09:24. | |
is one of those weasel words. They say they will create 40,000 new | :09:25. | :09:30. | |
homes with a ?1.2 billion fund. I will be interested to see where the | :09:31. | :09:34. | |
money is coming from. Have they been looking down the back of the sofa? | :09:35. | :09:41. | |
They have a lot of problems that are really battling to find. Good luck | :09:42. | :09:50. | |
to them. It is absolutely the case that it is a problem that needs | :09:51. | :09:55. | |
addressing. A lot of campaigners say at least it is a start. Which is a | :09:56. | :10:01. | |
fair point. But statistically we need to do 50,000 new houses every | :10:02. | :10:10. | |
year. -- 250,000. The Times. Offering to swap jobs. A reshuffle | :10:11. | :10:16. | |
in the Shadow Cabinet. This is very odd. Why would they do that? If it | :10:17. | :10:24. | |
happens, it would be very interesting. Andy Bunham holds the | :10:25. | :10:32. | |
post of Home Secretary. Since Jeremy Corbyn was the lack of, this is | :10:33. | :10:39. | |
about the speech supporting the invasion in Syria. -- elected. | :10:40. | :10:45. | |
Normally they would reshuffle anyway. But the article talks about | :10:46. | :10:55. | |
women not taking the job. Maybe they are just trying to hold on to a | :10:56. | :11:00. | |
senior position. This is an element of it. I am perplexed that Jeremy | :11:01. | :11:07. | |
Corbyn never asked him what his views were about foreign policy | :11:08. | :11:11. | |
before he was made Shadow Foreign Secretary. The picture for you was | :11:12. | :11:17. | |
Jeremy Corbyn's face when he gave the speech. The look of cold fury. | :11:18. | :11:23. | |
Has he never talked about foreign policy? It is extraordinary. A new | :11:24. | :11:38. | |
kind of politics. Another story from the Middle East. David Cameron | :11:39. | :11:44. | |
condemned for silence on Saudi killings. What is the British | :11:45. | :11:58. | |
government supposed to say. There are -- they are a huge strategic | :11:59. | :12:12. | |
partner. There was a huge... David Cameron is compromised in any way. | :12:13. | :12:17. | |
His instincts might be to protect Saudi Arabia, but it is not an easy | :12:18. | :12:23. | |
thing in the world of real politics. It is not always black and white. | :12:24. | :12:32. | |
Lord Ashdown says he believes that the confrontation that seems to be | :12:33. | :12:36. | |
growing between Sunni and Shia Muslims could pose a far greater | :12:37. | :12:39. | |
danger to the West than so-called Islamic State. That is really | :12:40. | :12:45. | |
interesting. We now have the diplomatic ramifications of this, | :12:46. | :12:47. | |
with Saudi Arabia breaking off ties with Iran. If we are a strong ally, | :12:48. | :12:55. | |
it is the responsibility of us to say something when mass killing is | :12:56. | :13:03. | |
happen. We need to say it is wrong. As a trusted partner, we are allowed | :13:04. | :13:09. | |
to say it is wrong. This is a story that is going to bubble. Tell us | :13:10. | :13:16. | |
about war and peace. It is starting tonight. You were in Lithuania. I | :13:17. | :13:23. | |
met the delightful Willie James. I will not say how delightful she is. | :13:24. | :13:35. | |
-- Lily. People complain about the BBC and said we cannot justify the | :13:36. | :13:39. | |
licensing, watch this and you will see why it is worthwhile. Lovely to | :13:40. | :13:46. | |
see you. Thank you very much. That is it from the papers. Coming up | :13:47. | :13:51. | |
next, it is Reporters. | :13:52. | :13:53. |
