hello, this is bbc news. we'll be taking a look at tomorrow morning's papers in a moment. first, the headlines. the us, britain and france have taken joint action for the first time in syria, bombing three chemical weapons sites with more than 100 missiles. the prime minister defends the use of british force as "legal and right", as four tornadojets were involved in the attacks. russia have reacted strongly to the strikes, claiming the attacks were a blatant violation of international law at a united nations security council meeting. and president assad says the aggression will make syria more "determined to keep fighting and crushing terrorism in every inch of the country". sirmartin sir martin sorrell has released a statement quitting as head of the global advertising agency wpp. on maybe there, we meet suzanne o'sullivan. she tells a story of the

effo rts o'sullivan. she tells a story of the efforts of doctors to discover the secrets that are still in the brain. her book is called brainstorm. hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. one story dominates, obviously. with me are the broadcaster and author natalie haynes, and rob merrick, deputy political editor of the independent. busy weekend. many of tomorrow's front pages are already in. the observer says theresa may faces a furious backlash from mps after ordering uk forces to join in with targeted military strikes on syrian chemical weapons facilities without having gained parliamentary consent. the sunday express says a strike at the heart of evil,

picturing a missile taking off. meanwhile, the mail on sunday also pictures a missile — it has a comment from president trump, who tweeted ‘mission accomplished' following last night's raids. "striking back at evil" says the daily star on sunday, which pictures am raf tornado taking off on raid. "locked and loaded" says the sunday telegraph, as president trump says he's ready to launch further strikes against syria's bashar al—assad. the sunday times focuses on survivors of a suspected chemical attack in syria. it pictures a seven—year—old girl who described the conditions she was caught up in. pretty harrowing stuff. the syria missile strikes of course dominating many of tomorrow's front pages. plenty for us to talk about with regards to what happens next. there is some analysis in the papers. better start the sunday telegraph, locked and loaded, the

talk we have heard from politicians on both sides of the atlantic? talk we have heard from politicians on both sides of the atlantic7m a lwa ys on both sides of the atlantic7m always makes your heart sink a little when this can be distilled into tiny catchphrases, locked and loaded is a particularly hatefully tribalistic attitude to have, it makes you panic, that this was not clinical and things might become more difficult and stress inducing. we're constantly told this was very limited, a particular target, there we re limited, a particular target, there were no syrian or russian casualties. this is war. any country involved was run by somebody not certifiably insane, i would be happy. but theresa may probably aced this, when global rules come under threat, we must take a stand. whether you disagree or agree with

these decisions, she does at least sound like a grown—up. these decisions, she does at least sound like a grown-up. what she'll —— what shall —— what will she be up against in parliament on monday, not just with jeremy corbyn but the fact that the mps were overlooked? there will be a lot of anger, at the press co nfe re nce will be a lot of anger, at the press conference today, arguments can be made for and against military action but when it came to the questions over whether mps should be given a voice in this, her reasons were that there was no time, that somehow... numberio has been there was no time, that somehow... number 10 has been briefing since the middle of the week that somehow this good week in the stance of britain, but this is a very essence of democracy. in order to have a vote, theresa may being dictated to as donald trump, which is not a good look, there will be a lot of anger oi'i look, there will be a lot of anger on monday and theresa may is still

not committed to a vote or a retrospective. seven years ago, when cameron launched military action against libya, that happened before the vote but afterwards parliament gave approval. very democratic! there was at least consent given by theresa may is not committed to that but there will be a vote of some description. we will find out next week. the sunday telegraph looking at what might lie ahead, could there be more military action? that will get debated on monday as well? how far this goes? it is interesting looking at the enthusiasm of the papers and the sunday telegraph is very enthusiastic with that headline. sitting on the sidelines is never an option? unless assad is stupid enough to use chemical

weapons again in the future, there will not be any more immediate bombing raids. what struck me in the sunday telegraph copy is this magnificent backbiting between britain and france, the telegraph has found a source in london that is furious that president macron has fired more missiles than the uk! 12-8. i fired more missiles than the uk! 12—8. i am fired more missiles than the uk! 12—8. iam not fired more missiles than the uk! 12—8. i am not sure we should be looking... at the big picture! the uk always does what is right, the french are always underhanded and sneaky! the observer... more of the same, this is where the story is going, theresa may faces anger over the syrian raids. some photographs and footage of what was happening in those air strikes. yesterday morning. one of those missiles, that might be the defence system. the

skies are lighting up over damascus? it will be interesting to see the inside papers go with what the guardian's live blog was going with, they found syrian interviewees who are very much in favour of the bombing and in damascus —— damascus they were very much against this. i think they will go for that more balanced aspect in trying to get the inside view but reminding us that there is no such thing as a single inside view from syria. downing street quick to reveal the legal advice. there wasn't much detail. the reasons why they why they felt they were right to do what they do and president trump hailing through twitter mission accomplished. what will your readers think? what they bothered about? mission accomplished? bothered about? mission accomplished ? whether this was bothered about? mission accomplished? whether this was in line with international law? what do people care about? most readers and

mps feel conflicted by this. most of them would not want to be in theresa may's boots. this is a difficult decision to take and there is a feeling that president assad should not be allowed to get away with this, chemical weapons are egregious. a stand has to be taken. most people will wonder, in one week, will they remember if this happened? it seems on such a small scale, it seems unlikely to change the picture in syria. i would scale, it seems unlikely to change the picture in syria. iwould be surprised if in a week or two, if we give it the attention we are quite dire. we have seen targeted strikes like this before on terrorist training camps and in syria and there was never as much fuss, particularly by the media and politicians of the time. is this different because of the recent tensions in russia and in salisbury? it probably is. the telegraph draws a connection between salisbury and

between syria and we are in a position, theresa may is in a position, theresa may is in a position where she cannot try to go round and drum up support for britain complaining about the use of chemical weapons on british streets and she is ok if it happens in syria. but theresa may, as so often, there is no right answer. you cannot do one thing or another, it is talking from dogma, nobody knows the consequences. the sunday times. there is a picture. i cannot do this. astonishing photograph. this is just this. astonishing photograph. this isjust a painful reminder is happening in syria. the suffering thatis happening in syria. the suffering that is going on. and what this is about. that is why i put this to you, just how angry is parliament going to be on monday when this is

what theresa may is going to say we are reacting tuque. do something or do nothing? what do you do when you find this award—winning photograph bya find this award—winning photograph by a child that has been gassed by chlorine gas and every school child knows from reading wilfred owens 100 yea rs knows from reading wilfred owens 100 years ago, we are thinking about this and it is happening to children today. i have no idea how you can stand up and say, we should not punish somebody for using these weapons. but how can you say, we should be bombing a country when we have a track record of a disastrous result with this course of action? the reason whyjeremy corbyn is concerned is if we do not follow international law, international countries do not? that is dangerous? the labour position has a massive hole in it. if you are going in the current circumstances to allow the

un security council to dictate whether any action is taken, then no action will ever be taken because russia will exercise its veto and the suspicion is that is whatjeremy corbyn once. jeremy corbyn says there has been nojust war since 1945, he would never take part in military action in syria, whatever the crimes. there has to be that conclusion. i'm not sure the legal argument is going anywhere. this is argument is going anywhere. this is a journalistic coup for the sunday times, the first media organisation to have interviewed the survivors of the chemical attack in northern syria, about 3000 survivors, very powerful testimony in the sunday times has gone into northern syria to interview his people and talk about the escape they had to make in desperate circumstances when the attack was launched. very different ta ke attack was launched. very different take compared to the other papers. very much the locked and loaded headlines and then you see the sunday times. the little girl whose

agony said the west on the path to war. bringing us to the next part of the sunday times... the path to war. the russian threat to wage a dirty campaign against britain's elite. this is the big fear? ifind myself asking questions to experts tonight, is this the cold war or lots of angry tweets? excellent question and i don't have the answer. i hope when you said experts you did not mean us! we were discussing this before we came in, the idea that they will wage a we came in, the idea that they will wagea campaign, we came in, the idea that they will wage a campaign, we enjoyed this when the book from james comey was reviewed a couple of days ago, that they would release some kind of campaign against british politicians, particularly in the cabinet, in releasing dirty secrets and reducing our own opinion of our political elite. they must not be eavesdropping sufficiently on twitter feeds because i am

eavesdropping sufficiently on twitterfeeds because i am not eavesdropping sufficiently on twitter feeds because i am not sure we hold our politicians insufficiently high esteem but dirty secrets would make us more suspicious than we possibly are. are there be any information out there thatis there be any information out there that is embarrassing to the foreign secretary? marital infidelity all the time? the nation would not re cover the time? the nation would not recover about any revelations from borisjohnson! recover about any revelations from boris johnson! i don't know what to say. if we are worried about the russian revenge being a dirty campaign against mps... then yes, this is a long way... we can be reassured. that seems like more in retaliation to tackling the russian elite who are making the life of riley out here. what is the russian reaction going to be? it has been verbal, so far, thank goodness. reaction going to be? it has been verbal, so far, thank goodnessm has not been affected by the

overnight bombing, that was the fear, if the action was more large—scale, that fear, if the action was more la rge—scale, that russian fear, if the action was more large—scale, that russian planes... are they thinking, thank goodness none of our soldiers and personnel we re none of our soldiers and personnel were killed because we don't have to do what we promised? there is a phone line that was kept open. there isa phone line that was kept open. there is a hotline. trying to keep each other‘s flight paths separate so in spite of the rhetoric and childishness of the rhetoric, seemingly, is this archduke ferdinand or some flash in the pan? how do they do that without giving intelligence to the russians about the bombing? president putin is involved in syria like with afghanistan, president putin is overreaching himself, and the escape route does not involve military action against britain, america or

france. finishing with the independent, the headline, theresa may hails the success of the strikes but the public denies support. not something she will want to read? ahead of parliament on monday? they suggest 25% public support?|j listened suggest 25% public support?” listened carefully when theresa may was asked this, at the press conference, she ducked the question entirely but it was put to her, in the same is our opinion poll shows very little support for previous polls, like the same, ducking the issue entirely. it was striking in the press conference, it was tempted, i believe this is the right
