years. And we see how England do at all their test series against South | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
Africa on Boxing Day. That is coming up in 15 minutes after the papers. | :00:00. | :00:13. | |
Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers | :00:14. | :00:16. | |
With me are are the former Trade Minister, Lord Digby Jones, | :00:17. | :00:21. | |
The FT - it reports that Apple has launched a fightback against | :00:22. | :00:29. | |
Temperatures will reach 17 centigrade | :00:30. | :00:31. | |
during tomorrow's winter solstice - as warm as the summer solstice | :00:32. | :00:33. | |
The Express says that hospitals are making up to ?3.7 million each per | :00:34. | :00:43. | |
year from car park charges on patients. | :00:44. | :00:50. | |
The Mirror also has that story, as well an interview with | :00:51. | :00:53. | |
British families spent ?40 billion more than earned this year, | :00:54. | :01:00. | |
fuelling fears of a new crash, reports the Independent. | :01:01. | :01:02. | |
The decision to ban Sepp Blatter and Michel Platini from football for | :01:03. | :01:05. | |
David Cameron has been urged by the former chancellor Lord Lawson to | :01:06. | :01:09. | |
allow cabinet ministers to campaign to leave the EU, says the Mail. | :01:10. | :01:21. | |
Ruth Jones, we are going to start with Fifa, the front of the Guardian | :01:22. | :01:28. | |
-- Lord Jones. Sepp Blatter it is getting it in the next more damaging | :01:29. | :01:35. | |
for Michel Platini. They are both getting it in the neck. It depends | :01:36. | :01:40. | |
on what each of them say. For Sepp Blatter it is the end. This is his | :01:41. | :01:45. | |
legacy. This is what they will remember | :01:46. | :01:49. | |
corruption. They have thrown the book at him. The Guardian say, in | :01:50. | :01:53. | |
addition to the alleged corruption with a potential lifetime ban, the | :01:54. | :01:58. | |
charges were based on other breaches of mismanagement, non- cooperation. | :01:59. | :02:05. | |
He wants to be fought as the man who took the game to all of the | :02:06. | :02:08. | |
developing world. That is a noble purpose. He will end up with the | :02:09. | :02:14. | |
image of a man who clung to power, the nails coming down the door close | :02:15. | :02:17. | |
as they take him out. That has ruined him. That is what is so | :02:18. | :02:20. | |
painful. Football has this. We saw this with the IOC. We | :02:21. | :02:30. | |
will see it with the IAAF, with Lord Coe. We have seen it in cycling with | :02:31. | :02:36. | |
Lance Armstrong, clearing people like Chris Froome, winning the Tour | :02:37. | :02:43. | |
de France. Football has to go through this. Sepp Blatter will feel | :02:44. | :02:49. | |
wrongly done. That is his problem. If he can show it is wrong, let him | :02:50. | :02:57. | |
put it forward. And Platini has this problem, he did something, he didn't | :02:58. | :03:01. | |
worry that Blatter might not be around to recorded, and now you are | :03:02. | :03:04. | |
saving he paid me the money just before he needed my vote. That | :03:05. | :03:13. | |
unaccountable and that was the problem. You shouldn't be so | :03:14. | :03:15. | |
cynical. Onto the Times. Interesting front page. None of the other papers | :03:16. | :03:21. | |
have it. SAS fighter stops Taliban in Helmand. The district where 100 | :03:22. | :03:30. | |
Britons lost their lives. That is right, in the town of Sangin, which | :03:31. | :03:36. | |
has fallen after a weekend siege. It looks as though the Afghan forces | :03:37. | :03:38. | |
cannot hold it without refute and American help. We are seeing 60 | :03:39. | :03:44. | |
American special forces and 30 British SAS -- British. They are | :03:45. | :03:47. | |
going to try to wins this back. It going to try to wins this back. It | :03:48. | :03:52. | |
calls into question the whole mission. British and American troops | :03:53. | :03:58. | |
were therefore their best part of years -- win. They want to enable | :03:59. | :04:05. | |
them from that place of the country to take back the country and | :04:06. | :04:11. | |
maintain and run it as a fledgeling democracy. That hasn't happened. | :04:12. | :04:14. | |
People are asking if it was worth it. It was always a west is | :04:15. | :04:21. | |
province. -- Mesto. It was a stronghold of -- they working to win | :04:22. | :04:31. | |
back -- restive stronghold. There are two sides to this story. Both of | :04:32. | :04:40. | |
them are so sad. The first is, clearly, if we are going to be in at | :04:41. | :04:46. | |
all, we pulled out to only. It says here, the Afghan forces were not yet | :04:47. | :04:53. | |
ready for this. And both Britain and America, responding to democracy... | :04:54. | :04:54. | |
(CROSSTALK). The home. And that is a problem. The | :04:55. | :05:02. | |
biggest thing, especially this time of year, and it is not just of the | :05:03. | :05:09. | |
456 British fatalities in Afghanistan, a quarter of which | :05:10. | :05:15. | |
occurred in Sangin. Think of the guys who lost their legs and arms. | :05:16. | :05:21. | |
This Christmas is going to be mums and dads who look at photos of kids | :05:22. | :05:25. | |
who never go home. -- who never came home. If you see a photo of a kid | :05:26. | :05:29. | |
who didn't come home from the Second World War, the Falklands as well, | :05:30. | :05:35. | |
with a noble purpose, liberating people and relieving people, it does | :05:36. | :05:38. | |
think that at least it was worth it. think that at least it was worth it. | :05:39. | :05:43. | |
Many feel it was worth it. Many feel they were right to go in. Clare | :05:44. | :05:55. | |
Short was for Afghanistan. It might well have been worth it. You have to | :05:56. | :06:00. | |
stay there and see it succeed. Coming home, and none will be | :06:01. | :06:03. | |
holding a photo and thinking it really wasn't worth it. -- a mum. | :06:04. | :06:09. | |
That is the greater story from this headline. While we are thinking | :06:10. | :06:16. | |
about IAS and assuming Al-Qaeda was in retreat, and the Taliban, who are | :06:17. | :06:23. | |
no longer relevant, in their own country, Afghanistan, they are | :06:24. | :06:30. | |
strong -- IS. The Taliban and ISIS, so-called Islamic State, are | :06:31. | :06:31. | |
actually fighting each other. Not the same theatre operations. They | :06:32. | :06:42. | |
are enemies. It is unclear what version of Islam... Some poor | :06:43. | :06:48. | |
civilian will be caught up in it. That can never be good. Moving to | :06:49. | :06:58. | |
the Independent. A really interesting topline story. It was | :06:59. | :07:06. | |
highlighted by you -- top line. Sun told to put the Jeremy Corbyn | :07:07. | :07:11. | |
apology on the front page. When we were coming in for the 10:30pm slot, | :07:12. | :07:17. | |
we thought it and I wondered what it was about. I ask your good people to | :07:18. | :07:29. | |
get the people for the 11:30pm slot, the Sun are being held by IPSO, the | :07:30. | :07:43. | |
Khat -- independent press office. 30-3040 years ago we brought in the | :07:44. | :07:46. | |
idea that the leader of the opposition can be paid for being the | :07:47. | :07:51. | |
leader of the opposition -- 30-40. You should pay someone to oppose the | :07:52. | :07:57. | |
government, it is fabulous. It is called Short money. It has nothing | :07:58. | :08:01. | |
to do with brevity. The story was about how he uses this money. The | :08:02. | :08:06. | |
Sun have been judged that they were inaccurate. To be clear, the Sun was | :08:07. | :08:12. | |
ordered to publish a front-page correction for a story, falsely | :08:13. | :08:18. | |
claiming the Labour leader only agreed to be initiated as privy | :08:19. | :08:21. | |
councillor because his party stood to gain financially to get this | :08:22. | :08:25. | |
short money when in fact it is a long-standing convention that the | :08:26. | :08:28. | |
leader of the opposition can get the money, which is allocated according | :08:29. | :08:32. | |
to a formula which does not depend on whether the party leader is a | :08:33. | :08:36. | |
Privy Council. The Sun got it wrong. They got it completely wrong. And | :08:37. | :08:42. | |
they deliberately got it wrong. I won't get into whether it was | :08:43. | :08:45. | |
deliberate. They were factually inaccurate. IPSO say that you are | :08:46. | :08:51. | |
going to... (CROSSTALK). The regulator say. Where you ran the | :08:52. | :08:55. | |
story. I believe that if the press are told to put apologies where | :08:56. | :09:01. | |
won the story, this would end overnight. Their newspapers would be | :09:02. | :09:05. | |
full of apologies -- run. Rather than on page 57. So they are told to | :09:06. | :09:11. | |
do it, and that caught my eye in the Independent that. -- Independent. | :09:12. | :09:21. | |
Then on the Sun, this exclusive on the politicians having an affair, | :09:22. | :09:25. | |
and then down on the bottom left corner, so small that you can hardly | :09:26. | :09:31. | |
see it, IPSO complaint on Labour Short Money is upheld, on page two. | :09:32. | :09:36. | |
The apology is on the apology is on to five words at the bottom of | :09:37. | :09:41. | |
whatever it is. Exploiting the loophole. It is clearly a loophole. | :09:42. | :09:51. | |
The regulations should say that the apology should be the same size as | :09:52. | :09:56. | |
the offence. Let's bring the offence. That is the apology. Let's | :09:57. | :10:08. | |
see the offence. He varied lives. -- there it is. The front page on the | :10:09. | :10:11. | |
left where the Sun made the mistake and the apology is on the bottom, | :10:12. | :10:18. | |
the right, on the bottom left, you can't even make it out. If they were | :10:19. | :10:25. | |
told to put the apology on the front page, they don't even include the | :10:26. | :10:29. | |
word sorry. They put IPSO complaint is upheld. It would be nice to see | :10:30. | :10:36. | |
the word sorry. First of all, they don't apologise. Secondly, the size | :10:37. | :10:41. | |
of the apology, the non- apology, is miniscule. It is an insult. It | :10:42. | :10:51. | |
should not end there. We have always said IPSO has no teeth. Hopefully | :10:52. | :10:56. | |
this body should result in a body with teeth. Let's see what they do | :10:57. | :11:01. | |
as a result of this. Where I think it is right that this is taken up is | :11:02. | :11:06. | |
it is in the Sun's best interest that they do this properly. I for | :11:07. | :11:14. | |
one want to see a free press. I don't want loads of regulation. I | :11:15. | :11:18. | |
believe it is right that this partly to the review of Canon -- can prick | :11:19. | :11:26. | |
us and I don't want censorship in the wrong way. It will only work if | :11:27. | :11:30. | |
they deal with it in the way it is meant to be dealt with. There will | :11:31. | :11:36. | |
be more regulation if they don't. The members have Hacked Off the | :11:37. | :11:38. | |
organisation representing those who have had their phones hacked as part | :11:39. | :11:44. | |
of the results of elements within News International -- hacked off. | :11:45. | :11:47. | |
They would say that they can afford to do that because they got away | :11:48. | :11:52. | |
with it. They can get away with it. There is no suggestion from the | :11:53. | :11:56. | |
Leveson Inquiry that it will continue to a second phase. That is | :11:57. | :11:59. | |
what it was supposed to have done. That has been thrown out. The bottom | :12:00. | :12:05. | |
line is, newspapers can act this way because there has been nothing in | :12:06. | :12:09. | |
recent history. We are in complete agreement. This is a test of IPSO. | :12:10. | :12:16. | |
We need to see consequence and a full-page apology because they | :12:17. | :12:20. | |
it wrong and they have got it deliberately so. It going to need | :12:21. | :12:28. | |
someone to go to IPSO and make a fresh complaints -- it's going to | :12:29. | :12:32. | |
need. Will you do that? It is common in the Labour Party machine. It was | :12:33. | :12:37. | |
actually an ordinary punter who bought this original in. Try to get | :12:38. | :12:44. | |
through to people. -- port. If we want the free press that a mature | :12:45. | :12:51. | |
democracy should have, you have to rely on the press to do the right | :12:52. | :12:55. | |
thing. The right thing in this case is to do what they were told to do | :12:56. | :12:58. | |
and not try to get away with it. The problem is... (CROSSTALK). It will | :12:59. | :13:05. | |
bring more regulation. In media organisations there is group think. | :13:06. | :13:11. | |
People adhere to a particular philosophy. It knows no boundaries | :13:12. | :13:16. | |
or morals. We are going for him, whichever way we can, which is what | :13:17. | :13:22. | |
we have to do. I just wish, because the CBI, government and everything | :13:23. | :13:25. | |
else, have always tried to have less regulation and less rules, not more. | :13:26. | :13:30. | |
Because you trust them. Because I believe it frees the spirit. | :13:31. | :13:35. | |
(CROSSTALK). If they don't do it they will get more regulation and | :13:36. | :13:38. | |
more rules, which is what we don't want. There are some people who will | :13:39. | :13:42. | |
say that if you cannot have the regulation to stop this kind of | :13:43. | :13:47. | |
thing, after the phone of a dead girl has been hacked, it it ain't | :13:48. | :13:56. | |
gonna change! We will see what they will do. Onto the Telegraph. Down at | :13:57. | :14:03. | |
the bottom, there is a row going on where students of this college in | :14:04. | :14:10. | |
Oxford have removed a clerk in honour of Cecil Rhodes and they want | :14:11. | :14:13. | |
to now pull down the statue because of his obvious prejudice, some would | :14:14. | :14:20. | |
say racism, historically. And Mary Beard, the Cambridge academic, has | :14:21. | :14:27. | |
said he was a prejudiced man but not necessarily racist. By the way | :14:28. | :14:31. | |
students, you can't have your cake and eat it because you have a Rhodes | :14:32. | :14:37. | |
scholar and take the money, but want to get rid of this. That is the | :14:38. | :14:43. | |
argument. I would ask for people to be judged on the time when they were | :14:44. | :14:47. | |
there. If you want a really good lesson in this, Thomas Jefferson, | :14:48. | :14:52. | |
the father of the Constitution of the United States, this huge pillar | :14:53. | :14:58. | |
of representation of the people for the people by the people and the | :14:59. | :15:00. | |
rest of it, owned four slaves and had sex with them. At the end of the | :15:01. | :15:05. | |
day we are judging him with a different set of rules. We are | :15:06. | :15:08. | |
judging people of that later, the Confederate flag, the | :15:09. | :15:15. | |
statues of Confederate leaders, like Jefferson, have been taken down on | :15:16. | :15:19. | |
university campuses, including the deep south of the US, because people | :15:20. | :15:24. | |
are using the enlightened morals they have today to judge that time | :15:25. | :15:30. | |
find those people wanting. We have the right to do that. We live in a | :15:31. | :15:34. | |
free world. This can only be a question of opinion. How many | :15:35. | :15:41. | |
opinions to Jefferson allow. If someone wants to pull down the | :15:42. | :15:46. | |
statue, they should pay back the scholarship. Is the money of the | :15:47. | :15:53. | |
ancestors! Henry and DB, as ever, great to have you in. And Merry | :15:54. | :16:00. | |
Christmas -- Digby. I don't know if we can say this to everyone who | :16:01. | :16:04. | |
watches but thank you for putting us together. Yeah it is not easy as you | :16:05. | :16:12. | |
know. The top of the hour, Newsday, now, Sportsday. | :16:13. | :16:29. | |
of the Premier League, after beating Manchester City tonight. | :16:30. | :16:32. |
