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said sorry, your Visa has been revoked.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 - | :14:12. | :14:14. |
