the latest from the lakeside and the BDO darts. That is coming up in

:00:00.:00:00.

Sportsday, in 15 minutes, straight after the papers.

:00:00.:00:18.

Welcome to the papers. With us we have Susie Boniface, otherwise known

:00:19.:00:26.

as the Fleet Street Fox. And the energy times correspondent, Kiran

:00:27.:00:34.

Stacey. The FT carries a story on the share price fall on the US stock

:00:35.:00:39.

market and the problems facing Volkswagen. The Daily Express has a

:00:40.:00:44.

Sudanese man who tried to enter the UK via the Channel Tunnel has been

:00:45.:00:47.

granted asylum. The metro leads with claims the masked jihadi in the

:00:48.:00:53.

latest Islamic State video was a former bouncy castle salesman. The

:00:54.:00:56.

Daily Telegraph has details of the same man and says he fled to Syria

:00:57.:01:01.

whilst he was on bail. The iMac devotes its front page to Jeremy

:01:02.:01:07.

Corbyn's potentially controversial Cabinet reshuffle. The Guardian also

:01:08.:01:11.

leads with that story saying Hilary Benn and Maria Eagle are likely to

:01:12.:01:15.

be removed from their jobs. We will start with the daily to

:01:16.:01:22.

grow. I have heard a number of suspects who are over there have

:01:23.:01:29.

been fugitives from the law, effectively, from the UK. It seems

:01:30.:01:36.

like it. We heard of jihadi John and Mohammed Emwazi. Now this man,

:01:37.:01:41.

arrested in September 2014 alongside another man, who viewers may

:01:42.:01:48.

remember used towards TV studios pretending to be a respected face of

:01:49.:01:54.

mainstream Islamic thought. He was suspected of belonging to this band

:01:55.:02:01.

and then escaped bail. We do not know how. We do not know if he had a

:02:02.:02:05.

fake passport but he managed to leave the country, which as you say,

:02:06.:02:09.

quite a few other magician nationals have managed to do and get out there

:02:10.:02:14.

to fight for Syria. But this is all taking place against a background of

:02:15.:02:19.

British inaction in Syria. There has not been a military strike against

:02:20.:02:25.

Isis militants since Christmas Day. There is a lot of talk at the

:02:26.:02:30.

moment, ministers saying this is coming out because Isis is on the

:02:31.:02:34.

retreat. Well perhaps, but at least in Syria that is not necessarily

:02:35.:02:38.

because of British action, there is not a lot of bombing going on. Part

:02:39.:02:45.

of the reason, Susie, that they are suggested, not necessarily on the

:02:46.:02:48.

back foot is because the Russians are bombing some of the more

:02:49.:02:52.

moderate rebel groups who would be attacking them in the first place.

:02:53.:02:57.

Yes and it goes to show how much of a complete mess the Syrian Civil War

:02:58.:03:01.

and the middle east is at the moment. No matter who you bomb you

:03:02.:03:05.

are helping someone you do not want to be helping. There is an

:03:06.:03:08.

interesting stuff about this come at the bouncy castle jihadi. David

:03:09.:03:13.

Cameron said today that although the video that has been released.

:03:14.:03:18.

Despicable and shows the murder of five people, people should watch it.

:03:19.:03:22.

He urged people to watch for the gander from Islamic State, which

:03:23.:03:27.

seems quite bonkers. If you do watch it, Siddhartha Dhar, this man in the

:03:28.:03:33.

video is saying David Cameron, you will lose this war, we will bring

:03:34.:03:41.

sharia law to Britain. It has rings of Monty Python and the Black night.

:03:42.:03:49.

Comical Ali in the fall of Baghdad saying we have beaten the infidels.

:03:50.:03:54.

We have the SAS and RAF and air cover and Isis don't have any of

:03:55.:03:58.

that stuff. But most people know all of this. They know they are

:03:59.:04:04.

bloodthirsty, they are completely crazy and a threat on a number of

:04:05.:04:11.

levels. It's as if they don't need convincing that these guys are

:04:12.:04:14.

nutters. First of all this isn't really aimed at mainstream British

:04:15.:04:22.

audience. They are in Arabic so aimed at a different audience. One

:04:23.:04:26.

of the reasons ministers and security officials are saying this

:04:27.:04:29.

is desperate propaganda is because it looks like it might be aimed at

:04:30.:04:33.

people who could be splitting, people who are thinking is a bit

:04:34.:04:36.

tough and maybe they should go home or defect to another group. That is

:04:37.:04:41.

when these videos tend to be released, to restore morale within

:04:42.:04:44.

the group, rather than trying to convince the likes of us, the

:04:45.:04:49.

Western powers are failing. Staying with the Daily Telegraph. Hilary

:04:50.:04:55.

Benn may be safer as reshuffle turns to farce, what is going on? It has

:04:56.:05:00.

been a farce since the beginning. When Jeremy Corbyn appointed his

:05:01.:05:03.

first cabinet it was a bit of a shambles. They had to put in Maria

:05:04.:05:07.

Eagle because they did not have enough women. They said they had the

:05:08.:05:12.

majority of women in the Cabinet for the first time, but many women could

:05:13.:05:17.

not take part in it. That can be forgiven because he did not have a

:05:18.:05:20.

lot of time. He was just made leader and was expecting it, perhaps. This

:05:21.:05:25.

time we've had briefings with before Christmas there was going to be a

:05:26.:05:29.

revenge reshuffle. We have been briefing all weekend that there

:05:30.:05:33.

would be a reshuffle. The lobby journalists, who have access to all

:05:34.:05:40.

parties, were sitting there outside Jeremy Corbyn's office today, Wei --

:05:41.:05:46.

waiting patiently. Jeremy Corbyn said, I would like you not to be

:05:47.:05:49.

outside my office. Move along, nothing to senior. Later on someone

:05:50.:05:54.

came out with a cup of tea, so that was nice. And chocolate. Someone

:05:55.:06:02.

brought in chocolate. There is some happy feeling after all. We had a

:06:03.:06:08.

briefing saying Jeremy Corbyn's... People who do not agree with him or

:06:09.:06:15.

have to go. Maria Eagle, pro Trident and Hilary Benn, who humiliated him

:06:16.:06:21.

in the Syria debate. But it looks like it is not going according to

:06:22.:06:24.

plan. We were told it would be first thing this morning and then seven

:06:25.:06:29.

o'clock this evening. Now they say some announcement tomorrow. Hilary

:06:30.:06:33.

Benn was in their first for an hour. It implies it is not going according

:06:34.:06:36.

to plan. And some people are digging their heels in. And also a lot of

:06:37.:06:41.

people are not around. This is the thing about doing a reshuffle before

:06:42.:06:45.

the MPs have got back. He has not got hold of some of the people he

:06:46.:06:51.

needs to get hold of. The front page of the i. It could be that maybe he

:06:52.:07:00.

decided he is going to get rid of certain people, but others are

:07:01.:07:04.

suggesting hang on a second, if you to that there will be split and I

:07:05.:07:08.

will as well. The Guardian has an interesting take here. It says

:07:09.:07:16.

Jeremy Corbyn's ideal solution involves moving Hilary Benn and

:07:17.:07:22.

Maria Eagle to other senior posts but acknowledges this might not be

:07:23.:07:26.

possible if it would risk a damaging split. Well, that is just an

:07:27.:07:29.

astonishing thing to tell a journalist. I would like to do this,

:07:30.:07:33.

but I might not be powerful enough to do it. It is one of the reasons

:07:34.:07:37.

Labour MPs are tearing their hair out. It is not in doing this

:07:38.:07:41.

reshuffle, they haven't got the competence in the senior leadership

:07:42.:07:44.

to be able to carry it out with the gravitas he needs. We will have to

:07:45.:07:49.

move on. Is he telling journalists or telling those people who paid ?3

:07:50.:07:57.

to join the party? Never say you are powerless as leader, it is not a

:07:58.:08:02.

good idea. The Guardian, tension grows as Saudi allies cut ties.

:08:03.:08:09.

Serious impact for the wider world, if you think about it. Saudi Arabia

:08:10.:08:15.

and Iran having an argument long way away, it doesn't matter... But these

:08:16.:08:18.

are two opposing nations who would be having talks on the Syrian war,

:08:19.:08:27.

which does affect us, as well as the Yemeni war. If they are now not able

:08:28.:08:32.

to get round the table you are talking about more proxy wars in the

:08:33.:08:35.

Middle East, more refugees you're talking about more crises for us to

:08:36.:08:41.

deal with. We live in a global world and it will affect us. This boils

:08:42.:08:45.

down to a 1300 year old argument about which male relatives of the

:08:46.:08:51.

Prophet Muhammad gets to inherit the Crown. Some suggesting, Kiran, that

:08:52.:08:58.

that is part of the issue here, but it is political as well. It is about

:08:59.:09:03.

political influence in a region where they are both trying to get

:09:04.:09:08.

one up on the other. The surprising thing here is this execution of a

:09:09.:09:17.

Shia cleric, alongside 43 others. A very aggressive thing to do. People

:09:18.:09:22.

are still tried to work out what this guy did. He was certainly a

:09:23.:09:28.

radical cleric, someone who spoke up in favour of Saudi's Shia

:09:29.:09:33.

minorities. They accused him of trying to undermine the state and of

:09:34.:09:39.

terrorist offences. It is a way for Saudis to look repressed the sheer

:09:40.:09:44.

minority and is awaiting to the West, you might be doing a nuclear

:09:45.:09:49.

deal with Iran, but remember who the big fish are. A good way of

:09:50.:09:56.

splitting the West and Iran as well. The Daily Express. Channel runner

:09:57.:10:02.

given asylum. New migrant scandal. New migrant scandal, dreadful,

:10:03.:10:05.

dreadful, dreadful. The fact that someone who has run here from Darfur

:10:06.:10:15.

has been given asylum because we live in borderless Britain. If

:10:16.:10:18.

someone has been running through the Channel Tunnel at the age of 40, I

:10:19.:10:22.

might add, I think we should be signing him up for the Olympic team

:10:23.:10:27.

as soon as we can. Never mind deporting him. What is interesting

:10:28.:10:30.

is it doesn't mention why he has been given asylum, no mention of

:10:31.:10:35.

Darfur or the possibility this guy might be trying to stay alive. It

:10:36.:10:41.

turns out that people seeking asylum will take desperate measures to try

:10:42.:10:45.

and arrive in place. It is not a massive shock. People hide under the

:10:46.:10:50.

undercarriages of planes and on the job of trains. And a lot of them die

:10:51.:10:54.

in the process. You will be back in one hour and we will look at some

:10:55.:10:57.

more stories in the papers. Stay with us on BBC News, much more

:10:58.:11:01.

coming up. Now it is time for Sportsday.
