Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be | :00:16. | :00:18. | |
With me are sports writer for the Sun, Martin Lipton | :00:19. | :00:23. | |
and broadcaster and barrister Sophia Cannon. | :00:24. | :00:31. | |
She turned up looking like the snow Queen in a very beautiful quote. | :00:32. | :00:40. | |
Sadly she had to take it off. Nice to see you. | :00:41. | :00:42. | |
Tomorrow's front pages, starting with | :00:43. | :00:43. | |
It leads with accusations that energy companies are ripping | :00:44. | :00:46. | |
off consumers by not passing on three billion pounds worth | :00:47. | :00:48. | |
of falls in the cost of gas and electricity. | :00:49. | :00:51. | |
The Independent says six alleged victims of child abuse - at the | :00:52. | :00:54. | |
hands, they claim, of the late Labour peer Lord Janner - are to | :00:55. | :00:57. | |
David Cameron is preparing to send out a document | :00:58. | :01:01. | |
to the public, ahead of a referendum on the UK's membership | :01:02. | :01:04. | |
of the European Union, outlining the case for staying in - | :01:05. | :01:06. | |
that's according to the Daily Telegraph, | :01:07. | :01:08. | |
who say it will infuriate Conservative eurosceptics. | :01:09. | :01:11. | |
The Metro highlights a report from the consumer group Which, | :01:12. | :01:14. | |
that says ?100 million of compensation claims for rail | :01:15. | :01:16. | |
The Mirror says the SAS will be called in to help guard the England, | :01:17. | :01:34. | |
Wales and Northern Ireland football teams ahead of the Euro 200016 in | :01:35. | :01:38. | |
France. And the daily Mail talks about | :01:39. | :01:42. | |
shortages to nurses putting patients at risk. Let's begin, where we all | :01:43. | :01:49. | |
guessed we would, with Europe. Here it is in the Teloni Cameron dossier | :01:50. | :01:54. | |
to make case for EU. He prepares document to send to families before | :01:55. | :01:59. | |
a poll. At some point, Sophia he has to tell us which way he wants us to | :02:00. | :02:04. | |
vote. A lot of people would guess that David Cameron would be pro the | :02:05. | :02:10. | |
EU, wouldn't he? The problem is, he is making a mockery of democracy, | :02:11. | :02:13. | |
surely. If the Prime Minister is siding with one side and not the | :02:14. | :02:18. | |
other, surely he is going to have an upper hand and that's the whole | :02:19. | :02:22. | |
issue. He is using the Government machinery to put his case forward. | :02:23. | :02:26. | |
Don't we expect him to lead? He is the leader of the country. He is | :02:27. | :02:29. | |
supposed to put the best interests of the country first? You would | :02:30. | :02:35. | |
think he would be partisan, the three wise men, Villiers and Iain | :02:36. | :02:39. | |
Duncan Smith, too and I think he also has Chris Grayling. They are | :02:40. | :02:43. | |
eurosceptics. They don't want to leave and they see it as a betrayal | :02:44. | :02:48. | |
that their Prime Minister is siding with one side before the purr darks | :02:49. | :02:53. | |
before the Government can't come in and assist, as it were, or shall we | :02:54. | :02:58. | |
say, put forward a view or position that isn't neutral. If the Cabinet | :02:59. | :03:02. | |
are talking about a rebellion. If you are in the Cabinet, you are | :03:03. | :03:06. | |
supposed to stick together, aren't you? This is where Cabinet | :03:07. | :03:10. | |
responsibility comes down. Where there is no effective Opposition, it | :03:11. | :03:15. | |
allows for civil war within the governing party. There is no doubt | :03:16. | :03:19. | |
that Cameron is instinctively pro European, for all the attempts | :03:20. | :03:23. | |
occasionally to take a eurosceptic position on issues, his heart is not | :03:24. | :03:30. | |
in T even now he is talking about the summits with EU leaders, he | :03:31. | :03:34. | |
talks about being sure to get a deal to sell to the British people. It'll | :03:35. | :03:41. | |
be echoing Harold Wilson in the '75 Reviellere, which even I was too | :03:42. | :03:45. | |
young to vote in, to urge the country to take the stance of | :03:46. | :03:49. | |
staying n will call outrage. We already know that Liam Fox was a | :03:50. | :03:54. | |
prominent eurosceptic, stood against Cameron for the leadership of the | :03:55. | :03:59. | |
Tory Party back in 2005. He has publicly said he will vote to come | :04:00. | :04:02. | |
out. You have Major saying it would be extraordinary for Cabinet members | :04:03. | :04:08. | |
to take an anti-EU policy. We have positioning Look Look we know with | :04:09. | :04:14. | |
the Tory Party debate on Europe, it becomes a rupture. Going back to 97. | :04:15. | :04:19. | |
There is a danger of going down the same path. How can anyone decide to | :04:20. | :04:27. | |
vote against coming out or staying in, until we know what the deal Is | :04:28. | :04:31. | |
it is horse and cart mrivenlingts this deal will be announced, it is | :04:32. | :04:35. | |
going to be pro EU before we have decided what the position is and | :04:36. | :04:38. | |
what we have put forward. It is crazy. Let's look at the Metro. Put | :04:39. | :04:42. | |
rail delay payments on the fast track. Millions are being denied | :04:43. | :04:46. | |
refunds. Why? What is going on? People don't claim, half the battle. | :04:47. | :04:51. | |
Can't be bothered. Too much aggravation. There are signs if you | :04:52. | :04:54. | |
are two hours or three hours' delayed you have a chance it claim | :04:55. | :04:58. | |
your money back, but so many hoops to go through and we now have Which? | :04:59. | :05:05. | |
Which? The consumers demanding a much more streamlined policy for | :05:06. | :05:10. | |
things to be simplified and better publicity because we are being | :05:11. | :05:16. | |
taken, literally Forestieri a ride Perhaps we need an app. Someone | :05:17. | :05:22. | |
needs to decide how you can put in the details and you can claim | :05:23. | :05:29. | |
instantly. We live in the north, when your train doesn't show up, you | :05:30. | :05:39. | |
are cold. You don't live in the north you travel up north. It is | :05:40. | :05:45. | |
only a few quid. But it all adds up. Said in Unison. Exposito - energy | :05:46. | :05:53. | |
rip-off. Outcry at ?3 billion that greedy firms, says the paper, are | :05:54. | :05:58. | |
refusing to slash bills by. Household prices have come down. | :05:59. | :06:02. | |
Plummeted. Simple economics would suggest that bills are supposed to | :06:03. | :06:06. | |
come down, too. It doesn't always though? Surely it is schoolgirl | :06:07. | :06:11. | |
economics, Martine. You and I know, if the wholesale price drops, the | :06:12. | :06:15. | |
retail price should dro. We have all signed up to this package that we | :06:16. | :06:21. | |
have all got direct debits and we have all actually fixed our gas | :06:22. | :06:26. | |
prices. Now look at us. We are fixed in, and in the hottest December we | :06:27. | :06:31. | |
can all remember, paying our direct dibts, when there is a lot of people | :06:32. | :06:35. | |
out there having to face that heat or eat deadline. That's the whole | :06:36. | :06:40. | |
issue. Surely if the wholesale price drops, the retail price should drop | :06:41. | :06:45. | |
almost instantaneously. Except, don't a lot of firms buy their gas | :06:46. | :06:50. | |
in advance, don't they? And they are having to forecast way ahead of what | :06:51. | :06:54. | |
they are going to need and buy it at possibly higher prices than the | :06:55. | :06:57. | |
prices now? Well, there is a little bit of advanced buying but we have | :06:58. | :07:01. | |
the situation where we have the oil prays going up to $150 a barrel and | :07:02. | :07:05. | |
petrol price goes through the roof and oil price goes down to ?2.50 and | :07:06. | :07:10. | |
they barely move. The energy companies in all the various forms | :07:11. | :07:14. | |
have a position where they can take advantage of the consumer and lo and | :07:15. | :07:16. | |
behold they do. have a position where they can take | :07:17. | :07:17. | |
advantage of the consumer and lo and behold they do. | :07:18. | :07:19. | |
Isn't the ditches with gas and electricity. The regulator is | :07:20. | :07:25. | |
supposed to look after them. Gas and electricity isn't subject to tax | :07:26. | :07:28. | |
levies by the Chancellor in the way petrol and diesel are. So you have a | :07:29. | :07:33. | |
huge amount of tax added on which you don't have for gas and | :07:34. | :07:38. | |
Bot bonchts again schoolgirl economics A supply issue. Six main | :07:39. | :07:43. | |
suppliers are holding and strangling the Government and market. We have | :07:44. | :07:48. | |
no choice, we can't go out elsewhere and ensure the gas pliers are all in | :07:49. | :07:53. | |
a competition. Borriello We have a regulator. The | :07:54. | :07:56. | |
regulator needs to pull their finger out and sort this situation out. | :07:57. | :08:00. | |
Especially when there are a lot of families at the moment who cannot | :08:01. | :08:03. | |
heat or eat. Let's look at the Independent. A | :08:04. | :08:13. | |
very happy-looking independent. I noticed he was Scottish. He can't be | :08:14. | :08:20. | |
Scottish when he has won. He is only Scottish when he loses. Scottish, | :08:21. | :08:25. | |
Britain. A worthy winner. He won, playing for Britain as Robert kindly | :08:26. | :08:30. | |
reminds me in my ear. The first win in the Davis Cup since 1936. It | :08:31. | :08:36. | |
wasn't quite a one-man team. He played doubles with his brother but | :08:37. | :08:39. | |
in terms of winning matches it pretty much was. An outstanding | :08:40. | :08:43. | |
triumph. He led to us victory in Belgium the other way, as he has | :08:44. | :08:48. | |
done all the way through. He has been absolutely brilliant. A | :08:49. | :08:51. | |
momentous achievement for British tennis. We have never had his like | :08:52. | :08:57. | |
before. He deserves T he got 80,000 more votes than second-placed Kevin | :08:58. | :09:02. | |
Sinfield and that was very much a Rugby League write-in vote followed | :09:03. | :09:08. | |
by Jess Ennis in third and everyone's favourite boxer, Tyson | :09:09. | :09:13. | |
Fury in fourth. Murray's winning margin was more of the votes of the | :09:14. | :09:22. | |
candidates. Some people take issue with the title, sports personality. | :09:23. | :09:28. | |
And even Andy Murray said a friend sent him a link to an article which | :09:29. | :09:34. | |
said "Andy Murray is duller than a wet weekend in Worthing", which he | :09:35. | :09:40. | |
said was a bit harsh on Murray. I didn't recognise him. He is smiling. | :09:41. | :09:45. | |
When he lost the Wimbledon final and the nation went with him and he won | :09:46. | :09:50. | |
at the Olympics and they were behind him. Two women behind that. His wife | :09:51. | :09:56. | |
and his mum. And his coach I forgot that, the triumphalism of three | :09:57. | :09:59. | |
women supporting Andrew and good for him but also good for that team | :10:00. | :10:04. | |
behind him tonight. We must talk about the Tyson Fury issue. He was | :10:05. | :10:10. | |
very close in the number of votes he got to Jessica Ennis Hill who was | :10:11. | :10:12. | |
third. It would have been quite a difficult | :10:13. | :10:18. | |
one for the BBC had Tyson Fury won this? I have a lead on this, I'm | :10:19. | :10:23. | |
sory. The whole issue, is a lot of people excuse his behaviour or his | :10:24. | :10:29. | |
comment because he is a northern, even said, white-working class lad, | :10:30. | :10:34. | |
done good but I know another working class man, John amery, he is gay. If | :10:35. | :10:39. | |
you remember he is a basketball player. That's the whole issue. | :10:40. | :10:42. | |
Sending out the message to society - what is right and proper. Can you | :10:43. | :10:46. | |
start Banning things? I don't want him banned. A lot of people z didn't | :10:47. | :10:52. | |
they? I thought it was wrong. I have always approved. The fact is, | :10:53. | :10:58. | |
whatever you think of Fury's views, which I find utterly reprehensible | :10:59. | :11:04. | |
in every bone of my body, he is also the world heavyweight boxing | :11:05. | :11:07. | |
champion which is a huge achievement, baeteding, as he z | :11:08. | :11:12. | |
Klitschko this giant who nominated the sport for ten years, effectively | :11:13. | :11:16. | |
in his back yard, it was a remarkable achievement. With | :11:17. | :11:20. | |
somebody with views who a lot of people found to be offensive, | :11:21. | :11:23. | |
irrespective of who they are, isn't there a problem in giving them an | :11:24. | :11:27. | |
award that sort of celebrates their personality, when a lot of people | :11:28. | :11:31. | |
find some of that aspect difficult to stomach? The thing about it, it | :11:32. | :11:38. | |
is called Sports Personality, as it always has been, actually it is | :11:39. | :11:42. | |
Sports Person of the Year. Their achievement. We have had odd winners | :11:43. | :11:48. | |
in the past, it is fair to say, and you would wonder how they wanted. | :11:49. | :11:54. | |
Personally, I didn't want fury to win, he didn't, he came fourth. That | :11:55. | :12:00. | |
will do. Back to today's Teloni - cheese turned into -- to the | :12:01. | :12:04. | |
Telegraph. Cheese turned into electricity. If | :12:05. | :12:10. | |
there's a will there's a whey. Generating electricity from cheese. | :12:11. | :12:14. | |
Sounds like a plot from a comic but that's what is happening in a new | :12:15. | :12:24. | |
power plant in the Alps, says David Chazan, formerly of this BBC parish. | :12:25. | :12:39. | |
It provides electricity that provides electricity and it is sold | :12:40. | :12:46. | |
to an electricity company EDF. It is going to be the way forward. We are | :12:47. | :12:51. | |
going to be seeing more and more uses of biofuel like this. A | :12:52. | :12:58. | |
micro-generation where people from villages and small towns, that their | :12:59. | :13:02. | |
generation comes locally into the home. We can't have the situation | :13:03. | :13:08. | |
now where we are piping power to our cities from miles away. And where | :13:09. | :13:12. | |
else but France could this be pioneered. That's the papers for | :13:13. | :13:19. | |
this hour. Mike and Sophia will be back again. | :13:20. | :13:24. | |
Everyone is feisty tonight. I quite like it. We will be back to look at | :13:25. | :13:29. | |
the front pages. Coming up next, it is Click. | :13:30. | :13:34. |
