does. And England lose their test with Pakistan, 2-0 on the final day

of the third test. That in Sportsday, in 15 minutes -- Sydney

Rabbitohs. Hello and welcome to

our look ahead to what the papers We are joined by the City Hall

editor at the Standard and John Statham.

Tomorrow's front pages, starting with: The FT suggests the Bank

of England is considering making it harder for lenders to extend credit,

The story of a driver who has been jailed after he filmed him

self driving at 192 miles per hour is on the Metro's front page.

British spies uncover Isil plot, says the Daily Telegraph,

suggesting British intelligence intercepted messages showing that

Isil extremists had plotted a terror attack in Egypt.

The Sun says you can pay 15 quid to get through the security at

Good news on the front page of the Mirror, with the story of the baby

girl who has been cured of leukaemia with pioneering gene therapy.

the Guardian also leads with that picture of Layla Richards,

who is now cancer-free, after being given months to live.

The crisis in Sharm el-Sheikh features on

the Independent's front page, which claims Britain is becoming embroiled

And, finally, the Times claims there is evidence that an Islamic State

bomb was smuggled on to the Russian jet in a piece of luggage.

So a lot of speculation still. We still don't know what happened. But

The Times Is among the few papers which has been digging. In their

headline is spies think Isis blew up a plane with a bomb in a bag. That

is why the Brits stranded in Sharm el-Sheikh are still being told that

when they fly home they can only do it with hand luggage and they hold

luggage will have to stay on and be checked out and brought out

separately within a week, they say. Let's see about that. Britain has

apparently requested all sorts of extra security at the airport. I can

only imagine that the Egyptian authorities are going to agree to

all of it, even though they may be doing it all already. Extra checks

on background checks on Egyptian baggage handlers is one of the

things that has been asked for, according to the Times. Extra checks

on passengers and their hand luggage. And things like the holds

of the planes being checked, vehicles which drive in and out of

the airport. There are all sorts of options for people trying to get

in, close to the planes. And they are all being looked at now, trying

to ascertain what is going on. As you would expect, as we had at

Heathrow, similar action on planes leaving Heathrow many years ago.

Those cheques can't come soon enough. The front page of the Sun.

I'll tell you what, you can carry on. Not trying to take over from

you. Just a natural link. Some stories claim you can pay a ?15 fee

to skip the cue altogether, and they allege that that enabled one guy to

walk through with a razor blade and somebody else spotted someone

supposed to be manning a security machine playing can be -- Candy

Crush on his mobile phone. People are supposed to be looking at and

attending those machines, eating and smoking. And letting staff through

airports, airport staff through, without any checks at all. It does

sound of the story is to be believed as though this story was -- that

security was very lax. And the Egyptian President said in London

they had looked at it and found nothing MS. Obviously... We assume

something was amiss. -- amiss. There was indeed a bomb on board this

plane in a bag. I don't know about you, you have travelled through a

few dodgy countries and war zones where security is always incredibly

tight, and remained so for years and years and years. Tel Aviv, if

anybody has ever visited Israel they will have experienced the tight

security there and it has been like that for decades. Do you think we

are perhaps getting to a point where we have to have that persistent,

tight security, not just surges of it when there is an event? I get

irritated by it at Heathrow, I must confess. Take your shoes off, take

your belt off, it varies from airport to airport. I think in this

country at least it is very effective. It certainly has been in

the main so far. I think the question this raises is what is it

like at these sort of resort airports where this evidence would

suggest that at Sharm el-Sheikh and maybe one or two others around the

world, a similar picture would emerge. The Independent makes this

point that this demonstrates that if it was indeed a bomb, as seems to be

the case, it suggests there has been a dramatic shift in Islamic State's

strategy, having gone from being an organisation predominately fighting

on the ground in conflict zones in the Middle East to being one which

is considering the option or already has considered the option of softer

targets, tourists, western targets, people going on holiday. It is the

classic soft target, incredibly difficult for security services to

do anything about. It is these resort airports rather than the

capital cities and European cities which will be vulnerable, and which

presumably the British government will want, around the world, not

just in the Middle East, but will want foreign governments to do

something about stepping up security. As experts have been

saying on the BBC is what you have to remember is we are not

necessarily talking about an Islamic State sell. There are many extremist

groups around the world that support Islamic State. Franchise operations

as well. The other thing this raises, The Independent Raises the

diplomatic row which has resulted as a consequence, Mr Cameron talking to

Mr Putin on the phone today. Putin apparently angry that Cameron made

this assessment of the situation, he put it more strongly than that,

before the situation will make investigation of what eventually

happened. The Egyptians very angry still because they believed that he

was premature to say this. And clearly harmful, desperately

harmful, to their tourist industry. It is very damaging for Putin if it

is found to be a bomb because it was only very recently that he committed

Russian forces to combat operations against ISIS in Syria. Many will be

thinking was that such a good idea if we have ended up being attacked?

What tends to protect us more than anything is intelligence, and if we

go to the Guardian we hear from Nick Clegg that most investors were not

told of the mass surveillance of British nationals. Interesting

story, this. Nick Clegg claiming in the Guardian that he only found out

when he became Deputy Prime Minister, and that as you say most

senior ministers had no idea that this was happening. But it had in

fact been happening since 2005. I think most people when it was

revealed this week that it had been happening were surprised as well.

Personally I don't have a problem with it but I can understand the

civil libertarian argument against it. At the Discover actually that

senior figures in Cabinet didn't know about this is quite

surprising. -- but to discover. Maybe we are reassured by that

because it was kept secret. Maybe we were all naive and should have

realised it was happening. One would imagine that the security services

will be arguing for... Will be saying that events like this plane

crash from Egypt actually demonstrate the case for increased

surveillance power, when you consider that the British

intelligence and some American intelligence as well has gone back

retrospectively to the few days before the incident and found

chatter online emanating from that part of the world which indicated

that something was coming up. But they only found out after the event.

And that is from access the phone, in the UK, phone, e-mail and text.

If they were able to expand that to social media in the UK would they be

able to do more? There is always the argument that if you are not a

terrorist you have nothing to worry about. It is a fine argument that if

you impose restrictions on some people, they will be imposed on you

and do you want to live in that sort of society? And as we know that

journalists can get involved in that it is they are speaking to people

that security services want to know more about. And where then do you

get independent journalism? Let's move on to the Daily Mail. They

focus on two very different stories today. Let's go to the first one.

Fury over speed camera racket. I know you have a lot to say about

this. I have been done for speeding, I'm sure you have. Absolutely not.

Pure as the driven snow. But tens of millions of pounds by blackmailing

motorists to attend speed awareness classes. They have pocketed a large

amount of money by sending millions of drivers into these one-day

sessions. It makes the argument that police have no interest in stopping

people speeding because they don't keep the money from speeding fines

but they do keep the money from these courses they send... Or you

volunteer to go in. And the accusation is they are persuading

people to go on these courses not because it will do them any good

necessarily but because it will actually mean more revenue for the

police forces. And the police forces would argue they desperately needed

because this government is cutting back on our servers right left and

centre. Is that not dedicated on the assumption that these touchy-feely

courses as described are actually less of a deterrent for drivers

speeding van fines might be? I mean, I know people that have gone on them

and they have actually learnt a lot, and they are quite shocked. I had

never been more boarded my life. They go on for a long time but they

tell you how much the difference of a few mph can make as a matter of

life and death. People don't realise, they say I was done for

doing 35 and 30, it is the difference between life and death.

So many people say this about these courses. I have also heard. As John

says it is all set against the wider background of police cuts. We have

the cognitive Spending Review later in the month. Some forces, like The

Met, is expecting cuts over the next four years, a massive chunk of their

Budget -- comprehensive Spending Review. What sorts of crimes will

the police investigate, if you are mugged or burgled? People will

really basically... They are saying 25% cuts already and the prospect of

further. It is staggering. Also on the front of the Daily Mail is a

picture of a blazing police card New Scotland Yard tonight. A rather

large protest in central London and other cities around the world. Quite

close to home. Surrounded riot police at the BBC. There was the

prospect of protest is coming -- surrounded by police. So he donned

his Guy Fawkes mask before coming here. It is the Anonymous group on

November the fifth, celebrating Guy Fawkes's attempt to blow up

Parliament. They call it the Million Mask March. We respect anyone's

right to protest peacefully but according to the police some of

these people was the last thing on the mind of mind of some of the

people, they say, involved in this March. They are apparently telling

their followers police are not your friend. We see picture evidence

there are some of the problems they have caused. I don't know how

widespread it was but obviously a huge operation for the police

tonight. We have heard there have been some arrests for public order

offences as well. Now let's move on to the Daily Express. This is what a

lot of people will be talking about tomorrow. What does no rise in

interest rates mean for me as a homeowner and me as a saver? And it

is not what we were expecting, is it? The Express has a slightly older

order your Mac audience, a readership who might be -- slightly

older audience, a readership who might be planning their retirement.

So they are not going to get any interest on their savings,

basically. And haven't done for a very long time. Whereas people with

mortgages, obviously it is good news because it looks as though we are

going to have another couple of years, we are looking at spring 2017

was the suggestion, that interest rates rise above the 0.5% rate they

are currently at. So yes, it will be a very long time before that

actually happens which means that mortgage payments will still stay

low. But the suggestion from Mark Carney today, the Bank of England

governor, is that there would be some restrictions on lending,

multiples of it income looked at carefully -- multiples of income

looked at. It is still quite difficult to get a mortgage,

certainly more difficult than it used to be? Is the review, how much

you spend at the gym, how much you spend on pizza... That is a good

thing, isn't it? Into that sort of detail? The problem the last time

around was they were giving out money like there was no tomorrow. It

depends where you live, in south-east London or Edinburgh,

properties are very expensive and if you are on an average income than

the only way to move up the property ladder is to borrow. If you feel you

are able to afford those outgoings, and I appreciate there has to be a

margin for error for mortgage companies, but if you are unable to

afford it, you won't be able to. Shall we give ourselves something to

smile about? Let's have a look at the Al alpaca on the Times. He was

photo bombed. The scoops me all the time with this background

information. This is one of two employed or taken on via Turkey

farmer ahead of Christmas because the fox has come out and grab hold

of your Christmas dinner -- by a turkey. It will drive the foxes away

and sort them out. This farmer is Colombian, which is why the knows

all this -- why he knows all this. So far it seems to be very

successful. They really like llamas as well. Thank you to our

correspondence. Thank you to you as well. Great to see you both and

thanks for tuning in as well, Sportsday is next.
