tributes to Don Howe, the former England international and coach, who

:00:00.:00:00.

has died at the age of 80. All coming up in Sportsday in 15 minutes

:00:00.:00:00.

after the papers. So, welcome to our look ahead to

:00:00.:00:23.

what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow, we are joined by Oliver

:00:24.:00:29.

Wright. Just before you what they have to say about tomorrow's papers,

:00:30.:00:33.

let's take you through a view of the front pages, a flooded street scene

:00:34.:00:38.

from York dominates the Independent, also reporting on how Britain

:00:39.:00:43.

leaving VE you could lead to the loss of funding to scientific

:00:44.:00:46.

research. Storm Eva is the focus of the Daily Express, warning of 80 mph

:00:47.:00:50.

gales and torrential downpours over the next few days. In a similar

:00:51.:00:58.

vein, the i warning through this to expect a wash-out winter. The FT,

:00:59.:01:13.

and the Telegraph leads on an Oxford University research

:01:14.:01:16.

the Daily Mail, maternity wards can not cope, half of how to turn down

:01:17.:01:24.

women in labour because of a lack of beds. Not quite silly season, still

:01:25.:01:28.

a lot of stories around. Very interesting story on the front page

:01:29.:01:34.

of the Guardian, reporting on a UK imam who has had his Business Visa

:01:35.:01:43.

evoked, and it appears to be -- revoked, and it appears to be the

:01:44.:01:47.

latest in a showing of Muslim families being turned away from

:01:48.:01:51.

America. This follows on from the story yesterday of a Muslim family

:01:52.:01:56.

who spent ?9,000 on a holiday to Disneyland, only to be told at

:01:57.:01:59.

Gatwick sorry, you can't come in. Now we have a British imam who had a

:02:00.:02:04.

business Visa, sounds like he travels a lot to the States over the

:02:05.:02:08.

last few months with no problem. He went to Heathrow, about a get on the

:02:09.:02:11.

flight and was stopped by people who you said were embassy staff,

:02:12.:02:15.

American embassy staff, slightly odd that they were at Heathrow, and they

:02:16.:02:20.

said sorry, your Visa has been revoked. Again, no explanation. It

:02:21.:02:24.

is a really difficult story because a few tender round the other way and

:02:25.:02:29.

we had people coming into the UK, I am sure it would be, if there is any

:02:30.:02:36.

risk, we should not let them in, but if it is British people going to

:02:37.:02:39.

America we look at a slightly different way. There is no

:02:40.:02:45.

explanation. Nothing they can do about it, they don't get the money

:02:46.:02:48.

for the flight back. We probably do need a bit more transparency, if

:02:49.:02:51.

there is a threat, you should say so. What did he have to say that

:02:52.:02:58.

this, because he was a Liberal Democrat candidate at one point. He

:02:59.:03:05.

has had quite a lot to say about it. There is a line further down in the

:03:06.:03:08.

story where he says he has received a call from the embassy who are keen

:03:09.:03:13.

to sort the matter out. I can't help feeling that when do much use in the

:03:14.:03:19.

interim to claim, as he does, and this is obviously the main hook the

:03:20.:03:27.

Guardian has gone on, the US State Department, if I were the USM is

:03:28.:03:33.

here that think that would go down terribly well. He has clearly spoken

:03:34.:03:38.

at length to the Guardian. He describes the official who dealt

:03:39.:03:40.

with them directly as cold, calculated and very unhelpful, and

:03:41.:03:46.

apparently adding later, you must've done something before walking away.

:03:47.:03:51.

He claims to know of other British doesn't have also been turned away.

:03:52.:04:00.

Some staggering figures, more than 120,000 visas were revoked during

:04:01.:04:06.

2001, and of those 900 have been pulled because of terrorism

:04:07.:04:09.

concerns. Do you think there is a danger being put out of context,

:04:10.:04:13.

because there are Visa forms you have to fill in before you can

:04:14.:04:25.

travel to America now, ETAs. Yes, is you can get to America and they can

:04:26.:04:32.

turn you back. The American homeland security department are not

:04:33.:04:33.

necessarily the friendliest people in the world. His ESTA was turned

:04:34.:04:41.

down, and what he subsequently got was a business and tourism Visa.

:04:42.:04:51.

Terry Ord. Stella Creasy has had a lot to say about it because a family

:04:52.:04:55.

in her constituency were turned away. Let's move onto the Financial

:04:56.:05:03.

Times, US banks hit by cheap oil as Opec warns of low time -- all-time

:05:04.:05:16.

low. That figure resonates, a low of $36 a barrel, given where it was

:05:17.:05:21.

just a year ago, quite a steep fall. The point of the FT story, and I am

:05:22.:05:26.

no economist and nor do I fully understand banking, but it seems US

:05:27.:05:35.

banks sort of set stress test scenarios for oil price falling,

:05:36.:05:38.

presumably so they remain solvent and they can trade and so on. But

:05:39.:05:43.

today it was like oil prices are about 55% below the level when the

:05:44.:05:49.

Federal reserve is set last year stress tests, the pointed it is much

:05:50.:05:53.

worse than they expected to be forced you are doing quite well

:05:54.:06:01.

there, David! Do I sound like I know what I'm talking about? Who you are

:06:02.:06:09.

depends on what cheap oil means. Good on the pumps, as David Cameron

:06:10.:06:14.

likes to say. Opec are predicting it took 25 years to go back to 2008

:06:15.:06:20.

levels of $100 a barrel. The good news is you have years of cheaper

:06:21.:06:25.

petrol for motorists, that news for a lot of the big oil companies, it

:06:26.:06:32.

has collapsed over the last few years and are unlikely to improve

:06:33.:06:36.

any time soon. These things are cyclical but it is predicting the

:06:37.:06:39.

span of that cycle I suppose is the trick. Another story you have

:06:40.:06:47.

spotted, trying to find the Christmas spirit on the streets of

:06:48.:06:55.

Paris. A city trying hard to move on from those awful terrorist attacks.

:06:56.:06:58.

What should be a busy time of the year for them. Hotel occupancy down

:06:59.:07:08.

by 30%, flight bookings down, business down by as much as 80%. In

:07:09.:07:17.

Europe, after the London Bombings in 2005, these things do recover. There

:07:18.:07:22.

is a short-term impact, I am sure in six months to a year's time, things

:07:23.:07:27.

will be much as they were. Still not great if you are there at the time.

:07:28.:07:31.

Difficult for the people living there as much as anything else. You

:07:32.:07:35.

saw the climate change talks, future levels of security, and we remember

:07:36.:07:42.

that in London. The deputy mayor says as much, it will get better but

:07:43.:07:45.

it will take some time. Again it would be surprising if it didn't.

:07:46.:07:55.

Several friends of mine have been in Paris over the last few weeks, and

:07:56.:07:59.

The Daily Telegraph, heart pill for would be quieter than usual.

:08:00.:08:11.

The Daily Telegraph, heart pill for half of Britons. The sub headline

:08:12.:08:22.

explains it better, experts say prescribing cheap medication for BP

:08:23.:08:26.

will save millions of lives. A lot of these stories are creeping up at

:08:27.:08:34.

the moment, more could be done. It is an example of what a lot of

:08:35.:08:39.

health care specialists say the should be a shift from reactive

:08:40.:08:44.

medicine to preventative health care. So boiled down, if something

:08:45.:08:56.

called systolic pressure, no, they -- for each drop in something or the

:08:57.:08:59.

other it is found to reduce the risk of heart attack by one fifth,

:09:00.:09:03.

strokes by a quarter, and death from all quarters by 13%. If that worked,

:09:04.:09:09.

although I imagine -- I imagine distributing this many heart pills,

:09:10.:09:13.

if it worked, I suppose it would save the NHS an awful lot of money

:09:14.:09:20.

in the long term. It follows on from the big stat in debate, how could

:09:21.:09:24.

they were, and now this is another drug. You are talking about

:09:25.:09:28.

medicalising a generation at a certain age, you start taking your

:09:29.:09:32.

pills twice a day. Actually, it could be an extremely good thing.

:09:33.:09:37.

They could even end up putting it in the water. Shall we have a little

:09:38.:09:42.

look at Christmas? It is soon. Back to the FT. A very Christmassy

:09:43.:09:51.

photograph of the Beatles, and this is of course because of the

:09:52.:09:54.

announcement today that fans of the Beatles will be able to listen to

:09:55.:10:01.

all 13 studio rounds on streaming sites. -- studio albums was that why

:10:02.:10:07.

has not happened before? There is a wonderfully catty quote from Mark

:10:08.:10:13.

Mulligan, a music industry analyst, who says the Beatles state is always

:10:14.:10:17.

fashionably late to the Digital party, so it seems they have form

:10:18.:10:20.

for dragging their feet when it comes to this. Although, as you say

:10:21.:10:24.

the picture is Christmassy, the Fab four gathered round a Christmas

:10:25.:10:27.

tree, but I can't think of any Beatles music that was particularly

:10:28.:10:31.

Christmassy. They didn't do Christmas on is, did they? Elvers,

:10:32.:10:36.

Bing Crosby, but I can't think of any Beatles Christmas June. They

:10:37.:10:40.

have done well to make this into a Christmas story. A really famous

:10:41.:10:44.

photograph, and I are wasting what an appalling Christmas tree!

:10:45.:10:49.

Completely out of shape. It looks really straggly and really badly

:10:50.:10:52.

decorated! Apart from that it is all right. I feel like sorting it out.

:10:53.:11:00.

Let's move onto the mirror. This is a bit worrying if you're going to

:11:01.:11:03.

pick up your turkey tomorrow, as many of you will be. Particularly if

:11:04.:11:08.

you have ordered it from M and S. That is a cue for a turkey. I have

:11:09.:11:19.

to say, my mum went to collect stuff from M today and so it wasn't too

:11:20.:11:24.

bad. In Beckenham, this is where the two-hour queue was, presumably

:11:25.:11:29.

everyone turned up at the same time to do exactly the same thing. Not

:11:30.:11:36.

great PR for Marks Spencer 's. People could have got there may be a

:11:37.:11:43.

little bit sooner. Leigh staff handed out mince pies to try to

:11:44.:11:49.

placate angry shoppers. The tweeters, and of course people take

:11:50.:11:53.

to Twitter in such instances, were not impressed even by the mince

:11:54.:11:58.

pies. They haven't really got to the bottom of what the problem is that

:11:59.:12:01.

is my understanding of MNS is that they give you an allocated time to

:12:02.:12:06.

pick up your food or your turkey? They were clearly willing to wait.

:12:07.:12:13.

Not much choice! To the Telegraph is top evidently plum pudding is no

:12:14.:12:19.

longer the star of the Christmas feast. I don't I have ever had plum

:12:20.:12:23.

pudding for the nor have I. This is entirely alien to my experience of

:12:24.:12:29.

Christmas. In Telegraph land, it has been a centrepiece of the Christmas

:12:30.:12:32.

feast since Victorian times apparently, but no more. For the

:12:33.:12:37.

first time, Tesco is on course to sell more single portions of

:12:38.:12:40.

Christmas puddings than family size ones but crucially these are

:12:41.:12:43.

chocolate -based desert, which are becoming more popular rather than

:12:44.:12:47.

plum pudding. Do you like brandy sauce? Though. I don't know anyone

:12:48.:12:55.

who does, but I love it. Brandy butter or brandy sauce? Brandy sauce

:12:56.:12:59.

is like custard basically. But you can't set it on fire? You can set

:13:00.:13:04.

the pudding on fire, let's hope we never end up on one of those cookery

:13:05.:13:07.

programmes because we will be useless! It will not be a great

:13:08.:13:10.

Christmas for a lot of people, particularly in Cumbria. The

:13:11.:13:15.

Independent with a picture that basically says it all. About the

:13:16.:13:20.

third flood in a month -- in a month for many people. That picture is

:13:21.:13:28.

from York. The Cambrian situation is pretty grim. We saw it on the front

:13:29.:13:36.

page of the eye. You get waterlogged ground and when you get fresh rain

:13:37.:13:40.

it just gets first is that the profile worse than it might have

:13:41.:13:43.

been had come on the dry ground and that is the problem you have got

:13:44.:13:46.

there. David, Oliver, many thanks for taking us through the newspapers

:13:47.:13:49.

will stop we will do it again in hour. Thanks to you as well for

:13:50.:13:56.

watching. We will be back at 11:30pm, and at 11, Moore on the

:13:57.:13:59.

clean-up in Cumbria and the warnings of further into, as well. Coming up

:14:00.:14:00.

next, Sportsday. Hello and welcome to Sportsday -

:14:01.:14:11.

I'm Hugh Woozencroft -
