04/01/2016 The Papers

Hello, and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers

With me are Daily Mirror columnist Susie Boniface,

otherwise known as "Fleet Street Fox", and the Financial Times'

Many of the front pages are already in.

The Metro leads with claims that the masked jihadi

in the latest Islamic State video is a former bouncy castle salesman.

The Telegraph also has details of the man suspected of being

It says he fled to Syria while he was on bail.

The i devotes its front page to Jeremy Corbyn's potentially

controversial Shadow Cabinet reshuffle, which will, according to

And the Guardian also leads with this story,

saying Shadow Foreign Secretary Hilary Benn and shadow defence

secretary Maria Eagle are likely to be removed from their jobs.

The Financial Times carries stories about the share price falls on world

stock markets, and the US lawsuit facing carmakers Volkswagen.

The Express says anti-immigration campaigners are furious

after a Sudanese man who tried to enter the UK via the Channel Tunnel

That story's on the front page of the Mail too, which says MPs

We will start with the latest propaganda video from Islamic state.

Suspect escaped to stereo while on UK bail. He was a British

businessman. He was a bouncy castle salesman, which does not sound very

sinister. I do not know if he was involved in the higher of bouncy

castles, which might be more common rather than buying them. But this

format bouncy castle salesman from his London from a Hindu family seems

to have converted after marrying a Muslim wife, or at the same time,

and was arrested on terror charges. He was involved in a group Remy

involving students involved in fundamentalist Islam -- mainly

involving. We don't know if there was a mistake allowing him to get

across the border. He has now been identified not by the security

services, I think, but people who have perhaps done their own research

and his own family. He is in that video shooting five men, which is

not amusing and very serious, but if you watch the video, as David

Cameron has asked people to do today, it has a ring of the Monty

Python about it. He is insisting we will defeat -- they will defeat us

in the war and David Cameron will lose. But Islamic State to have

their strengths and things we can do that we -- they can do that we

can't. But there is a world coalition forming against Islamic

state. But the British security service say they have foiled about

seven plots. And they do seem capable of at least inspiring people

to commit atrocities, certainly in France and Belgium, Tunisia as well.

There are questions about what is organised or inspired by some

extent. Sometimes people claim Isis is an inspiration, but these ports

are easy to follow. -- inspired by Islamic State. But the more

troubling things are what happened in Paris. Also people who have been

trained and come back and carry out sophisticated attacks. That is what

is worrying about British fighters, that they will come back from Syria

and have been trained. These will not just be people blundering around

that I easy for security services to pick up and stop there might be

trained in evading detection, which may have been the case in Paris.

There are a few 100 Britons over there. It has been relatively easy

to identify business, if he is that men. We have to hope we know who

these people are and can stop them coming back in. The suggestion is

that he escaped bail. He was arrested and fled the country. There

was a child in this video, which a lot of people find repugnant. He

spoke with a rigid accent as well. -- British. He has been identified

as well, and a leading men things it is his grandson. He is disgusted his

grandson is being used in propaganda. The whole thing is

gruesome and the Sun and unpleasant, but most of that video was in

Arabic. It was very much aimed at British as a nation because of the

hostages he was killing, any people he was addressing in these videos.

This seems to be addressed to some of the Islamic State's own followers

to remind them they can there is punishment if you don't toe the line

and do not have loyalty. The five people they shot in this video, it

is a callous point but we do not know who they were. They appear to

be people picked up in Raqqa whom it is like state may have had a dispute

with about any number of things, perhaps collection of taxes. --

Islamic State. But there are also operatives in Raqqa, activists and

people trying to send footage of what life is like that. Some of

these guys killed were running Internet cafes trying to give access

to the outside world. They could be providing information to the British

security services. They would be intimidated and now worried. That is

perhaps the point of the video. Hilary Benn may be safe. If you are

going to have a reshuffle, you want to get rid of a problem. You want to

do it quickly as well. Quickly, efficiently and ruthlessly. Many

people would point to Hilary Benn being the biggest problem Jeremy

Corbyn has as far as his shadow, is concerned, but it seems he is

staying. The biggest problem Jeremy Corbyn has his Jeremy Corbyn,

because it does not really matter if you agree with him not. Whether you

like him think is good his job or or not, but he does not have much

experience managing a big team, and if you are going to run a shadow

cabinet which is the executive officers who sometimes have to have

some disagreement but generally carry the line and run your policies

and present them to the public for you, they have to be on-site. He has

had a big bump in that they have not been part of his team. -- problem.

Hilary Benn has said he is not part of this, especially where the Syria

vote was concerned, Jeremy Corbyn's people have been saying they would

be a revenge shuffle. They said it would be today. They have had

journalists outside the offices in Parliament all day waiting for a

decision. We're now told it will be tomorrow afternoon. Jeremy Corbyn

has gone home to rearrange his bathroom cabinet tonight instead. We

get the point. There is no ruthless efficiency. Nobody expects the

Jeremy Corbyn inquisition because it is so bad. Putting your old

political hat on, there are suggestions there were things he

wanted to do, but he could not do them or if he did to them it would

cause friction, and therefore he has pulled back? That seems to be the

suggestion. In the Guardian, it says Jeremy Corbyn's ideals solution

involved moving Hilary Benn and Maria Eagle two other senior posts,

but it may risk of damaging split. The problem is not carrying out a

reshuffle. It is not even taking revenge. The point is that leaders

should love during a reshuffle. It is where they get the media

headlines want. They get to work ruthless and in charge. They get to

do it in their own time and can manage the whole of this story, and

it makes them look like a metre. For Jeremy Corbyn to botch not one but

two reshuffles, which happened because people were overheard

talking about it, which does go on, but to botch two, the problem is I

don't think necessarily the idea of doing a reshuffle or saying that

some people don't act me so I can't have them in top jobs, fair enough.

-- back of me. But she has handled it badly and now books week. He

books incompetent -- looks, and he now needs to look decisive. This

should be a time when he gets to do that. Can you imagine a time when a

reader decides to have a reshuffle and then revealing in advance via

your press adviser that you probably can't do it anyway? -- leader. David

Cameron, even Tim Farron would not do that. This did happen to David

Cameron once. He tried to remove Iain Duncan Smith, and he was told

in no uncertain terms, I am not moving. That was a real moment of

weakness from the Prime Minister. He realised it could create some

damage. But he did not tell everyone to days in advance, I will move in

Duncan Smith if I can, but if I can't, I might have to back down.

Sorry, guys. Let's move on to the Independent. Britain conspired to

ignore Saudi executions. A lot of analysis in the last few weeks and

months about written's relationship with Saudi Arabia, especially on

contracts and judicial tie-ins that they have -- Britain's. And

apparently written ignorant these executions even though they knew

about them. This is based on a paper from 2011 saying we would like to

stop or death penalties, and listed a number of nations involved such as

China, Iran and USA. We would like to start them having the death

penalty, which is fair enough. Best of luck, but it is only a piece of

paper where it is written down. There is no reason not to include

Saudi Arabia on that list. All of the others will tell you to get lost

anyway. So Saudi Arabia was not on the list? Correct. But the fact they

were left off, it was so unimportant, why bother ripping them

off? You may as well include them. -- leaving them off? But it is

because of those contracts we have but they were left off? The Foreign

Office are saying we have to make nice with Saudi Arabia. We don't

like them, they are not great, but if we don't have them in charge of

Saudi Arabia, there will be someone worse. We may as well be nice to

them. They can say, we should perhaps try to push on some rights,

we would like them to do them differently, but we have decided

that we don't want to push too hard. The Saudi Arabians know very well

how strong their position is. They are an important ally for us and the

US in the Middle East up against Iran. If we were not making friends

with them and they are not making friends with us, they know how

strong they are. To be fair to Jeremy Corbyn, his opening speech

referred specifically to Saudi Arabia. It is one point on which he

has been determined and successful. If you remember the story about the

Saudi Arabia was on Jerry Jeremy Corbyn highlighted that as an

issue. That tells us one thing. Jeremy Corbyn's home territory is

foreign affairs, and he is often on safer ground talking about foreign

affairs. Sometimes dodgy ground, but he feels on safer ground equals he

has got a lot about that. Maybe less so on domestic issues. But what he

was pointing out is that Britain has always had a difficult relationship

with Saudi Arabia. Also regarding what we have seen in

Saudi Arabia, ministers are agreeing. The commission is from

Volkswagon? I am very interested in this because I own a Volkswagon. In

America, they are receiving compensation. This is a story about

the US government suing Volkswagon for the fact that, because the

emissions were higher than expected, they have polluted the air. The

pollution authorities have said there will find them for each

vehicle affected -- they -- fine. This is not the car owners suing, it

is repercussions for the emissions. It is not for people like me who

would perhaps like some compensation for owning a Volkswagon. It will be

interesting to know whether the US government will pass the money on to

the drivers, or whether they will use the money for something that

will benefit everybody. I think it has been announced, or not announced

but it is out there, that British Volkswagon owners like yourself will

not get a penny. American Volkswagon owners will. They are willing to pay

compensation to American drivers, not to British drivers. Separate to

this lawsuit. That is apparently because there is a potential market

of many millions, and they want to keep up with that. They also want to

keep in with the US authorities. You don't want to get on the wrong side

of some of the US legal authorities. Exactly. Is that underpinning part

of this? You don't mess with the Americans. They have the

resources... The class action suits in America are very expensive

compared to a. Particularly on the government's side. They won't back

down. It is interesting that Volkswagon is currently in dispute

with the Americans over various things, including devices in SUV

's. This is possibly trying to get some more compensation out of them

for those things. Volkswagon has that aside I think 6.7 billion

euros. This could be tens of billions. Thank you for looking at

some of the stories with us. Stay with us, it's time for Sportsday.
