the first black African to make a test century for South Africa. A | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
tough day for England and with one day left in the Test match draw | :00:00. | :00:08. | |

The Papers. Hello and welcome to our look ahead | :00:14. | :00:25. | |
to what the the papers will be With me are Beth Rigby, | :00:26. | :00:28. | |
the Digital Editor of the Times and the writer | :00:29. | :00:33. | |
and broadcaster John Kampfner Tomorrow's | :00:34. | :00:35. | |
front pages...starting with... The FT leads | :00:36. | :00:43. | |
with the bid by Sainsbury's for Argos and Homebase, | :00:44. | :00:45. | |
which it says is an attempt to head off the entry of Amazon | :00:46. | :00:48. | |
into the UK groceries market. Labour's reshuffle, | :00:49. | :00:50. | |
and the sacking of Michael Dugher, That story on the front | :00:51. | :00:52. | |
of the Independent, which also, like many papers, carries a picture | :00:53. | :00:59. | |
of a tearful President Obama, who has called for | :01:00. | :01:02. | |
tougher gun controls. The Metro leads with | :01:03. | :01:04. | |
the disappearance of former Police say they have found three | :01:05. | :01:06. | |
bodies in the garden of her family The Telegraph says that police | :01:07. | :01:11. | |
failed to notice for six weeks that the Briton suspected | :01:12. | :01:15. | |
of appearing in the latest IS video The Guardian says that | :01:16. | :01:18. | |
David Cameron was forced into granting ministers a free rein | :01:19. | :01:22. | |
on the EU referendum after a manoeuvre by | :01:23. | :01:26. | |
leading Eurosceptics. The Express says the move | :01:27. | :01:31. | |
is a "huge boost" We will start with the Independent. | :01:32. | :01:45. | |
The tears of President Obama, the jeering by the gun lobby, on the | :01:46. | :01:51. | |
front page. An emotional address from the president saying why he | :01:52. | :01:56. | |
would use his executive authority as president to push through tougher | :01:57. | :02:00. | |
gun controls. As John and I said in the last time we did a paper review | :02:01. | :02:06. | |
after a mass killing in the USA, there was another heartfelt press | :02:07. | :02:08. | |
conference from President Obama and today he has decided he will not be | :02:09. | :02:13. | |
a lame duck president in his final year, he will finish this and | :02:14. | :02:18. | |
finished business, or try to, and tighten the gun controls. Because he | :02:19. | :02:23. | |
has been blocked by Congress on this, by the Republican party, he | :02:24. | :02:28. | |
has taken the step of taking executive orders to effectively | :02:29. | :02:32. | |
force it through over the heads of Congress which has got the | :02:33. | :02:36. | |
Republicans up in arms. It will be huge fight. He clearly, from the | :02:37. | :02:41. | |
picture of the tears rolling down his face, it's a very effective | :02:42. | :02:44. | |
press conference in he surrounded himself with families who have been | :02:45. | :02:50. | |
victims of these mass shootings. He really wants to try to do something | :02:51. | :02:56. | |
about it. His argument is that he has the majority of the American | :02:57. | :02:59. | |
people on his side committee believes, if not the majority of the | :03:00. | :03:05. | |
American politicians. So he is trying to play that card by saying, | :03:06. | :03:09. | |
I am the president and I will override them and go over their | :03:10. | :03:15. | |
heads, to the people. Something like 87% of Americans in the latest | :03:16. | :03:19. | |
opinion polls want tougher back rent cheques and yet Congress, the | :03:20. | :03:22. | |
Senate, and the household mark of blocked it at every turn. One | :03:23. | :03:29. | |
wonders how they managed to get away with that, given the depth of | :03:30. | :03:32. | |
feeling and the number of shootings there have been in America just in | :03:33. | :03:39. | |
the last six months. Except that the numbers for Americans who actually | :03:40. | :03:42. | |
believe in the constitutional right to bear arms is very different. It | :03:43. | :03:50. | |
has got some, do I say it, normal Americans believing in that | :03:51. | :03:54. | |
constitutional right. Nobody is attacking bad right! This is the | :03:55. | :03:59. | |
adage about being divided by a common language. The British, that | :04:00. | :04:03. | |
is, the Europeans and the Americans, cannot get this head around this. It | :04:04. | :04:10. | |
seems completely bonkers. It is not just having a single rifle, shot | :04:11. | :04:13. | |
gun, although that is quite weird in my book. It's having the | :04:14. | :04:21. | |
semiautomatic weapons. They can fire hundreds of rounds indiscriminately | :04:22. | :04:24. | |
with barely a chat. We just don't get it. The gun lobby has stopped | :04:25. | :04:36. | |
almost everything in the last 30 years and everything has got worse | :04:37. | :04:40. | |
because of this noxious cocktail of the provision of weapons, they are | :04:41. | :04:45. | |
so easy to get hold of. Here in Europe you can get hold of weapons | :04:46. | :04:49. | |
comparatively easily but that is doing so he legally, -- illegally. | :04:50. | :04:56. | |
On top of that you have social media, which reinforces, as it does | :04:57. | :05:02. | |
for the jihadists, or whatever, this idea of distorted heroism. It is | :05:03. | :05:10. | |
curious. Beth, you mentioned the idea of the Republicans in Congress | :05:11. | :05:17. | |
being against this, Ronald Reagan supported deeper, wider background | :05:18. | :05:22. | |
checks in 1991. The anniversary of him being shot! And his press | :05:23. | :05:33. | |
secretary actually being killed. It is difficult to comprehend why the | :05:34. | :05:37. | |
Republican Party is so behind the National Rifle Association on this | :05:38. | :05:41. | |
and is not willing to contemplate any change. The point is, what is | :05:42. | :05:47. | |
curious about this is, he's actually asking for minor changes. All these | :05:48. | :05:52. | |
are, are changes to loopholes whereby people can go to a gun fair | :05:53. | :05:56. | |
and buy a gun without checks. I think it has become an emblem for | :05:57. | :06:03. | |
the Republicans of liberty, and the right to carry a gun. And he has so | :06:04. | :06:12. | |
much, Case in point, that emotional press conference that he's been | :06:13. | :06:17. | |
holding, for years, and each of these shootings, he has turned it | :06:18. | :06:21. | |
into his personal crusade. He has personalised it. And that makes it | :06:22. | :06:28. | |
even more emotive for his opponents. Biggar you can bet your bottom | :06:29. | :06:33. | |
dollar that if Hillary Clinton wins, she is almost certain to get the | :06:34. | :06:37. | |
Democratic nomination and then it will be her against who knows who, | :06:38. | :06:40. | |
maybe Donald Trump, if she wins she will not go for this as an issue in | :06:41. | :06:47. | |
the way that President Obama has. Although she did put out a statement | :06:48. | :06:52. | |
to the effect that whoever wins the election needs to stand on the | :06:53. | :06:57. | |
shoulders... And then all the Republican candidates came out on | :06:58. | :07:01. | |
Twitter and said that he has overstepped his... 87% of the public | :07:02. | :07:06. | |
are supporting you and your running for national election? The way that | :07:07. | :07:13. | |
politics works, 87% of the people might want it but if your supporters | :07:14. | :07:18. | |
don't you have to play to them. OK. The Independent. Jeremy Corbyn is | :07:19. | :07:25. | |
ridiculed by the man he sacked. This is getting weird. Yeah. This is the | :07:26. | :07:33. | |
only one of the papers we have two putted on the front page. I think | :07:34. | :07:38. | |
that's quite good. -- to put it on front page. Reshuffles are the | :07:39. | :07:42. | |
perfect fodder for Westminster anoraks. I love that! | :07:43. | :07:49. | |
LAUGHTER I love a good reshuffle, I always | :07:50. | :07:57. | |
will. The best bit, it is not here, although I read it on Twitter | :07:58. | :08:00. | |
earlier, Sunday was asking whether they would complete this reshuffle | :08:01. | :08:06. | |
before the Chilcot Report came out! Which would come first? Three years | :08:07. | :08:14. | |
already, and today he got rid of Michael Dugher, who was shadow | :08:15. | :08:21. | |
culture and creative industries secretary. The only one so far to | :08:22. | :08:26. | |
have been got rid of. The response to his sacking has been very strong. | :08:27. | :08:32. | |
I would slightly disagree with John. He's a it is a Westminster bubble | :08:33. | :08:40. | |
story. The reason that this is interesting is that the whole point | :08:41. | :08:46. | |
of this reshuffle, it was after the Syria vote in the House when Mr | :08:47. | :08:51. | |
Corbyn felt that Hilary Benn had not supported him and had shown him up, | :08:52. | :08:55. | |
effectively. It was also after the old by-election which Labour one. | :08:56. | :09:02. | |
Which cemented his position as leader -- the old by-election which | :09:03. | :09:06. | |
was won by Labour. This is his attempt to stamp his authority on | :09:07. | :09:10. | |
the party which has given him a lot of difficulties since he became | :09:11. | :09:17. | |
leader. That's gone well, hasn't it? Interesting because 30 hours into | :09:18. | :09:21. | |
this reshuffle, Hilary Benn is still in place as Shadow Foreign Secretary | :09:22. | :09:25. | |
and will probably stay there. That is what the Westminster watchers | :09:26. | :09:30. | |
think. The only person to have gone is Michael Dugher. It seems that Mr | :09:31. | :09:35. | |
Corbyn is not able to make the changes he wants because of the | :09:36. | :09:39. | |
backlash within the Shadow Cabinet. Some reports in the Guardian earlier | :09:40. | :09:43. | |
suggested that ten Shadow Cabinet ministers had threatened to walk out | :09:44. | :09:50. | |
if you removed Hilary Benn. -- if he removed Hilary Benn. It is a window | :09:51. | :09:55. | |
into the battle for the heart of the party. The last word. Reshuffles are | :09:56. | :10:00. | |
supposed to show the strength of the leader. This clearly has not done | :10:01. | :10:05. | |
that. Although there is a great history, Tony Blair always said that | :10:06. | :10:11. | |
he would forget people and have to find them jobs, it never goes | :10:12. | :10:16. | |
according to plan. An interesting observation is that when David | :10:17. | :10:21. | |
Cameron did them he very rarely did. He tried to keep people in place. To | :10:22. | :10:26. | |
be an effective opposition if you keep changing your Cabinet ministers | :10:27. | :10:29. | |
how will they get momentum against your opponents in a hazard commons? | :10:30. | :10:35. | |
Onto the Guardian, the Prime Minister forced to give ministers | :10:36. | :10:40. | |
free rein on EU. A similar problem to Mr Corbyn's. It's going to be a | :10:41. | :10:44. | |
free vote. And ministers can campaign whichever way they like as | :10:45. | :10:48. | |
soon as he comes back from Brussels with a deal that he can give to the | :10:49. | :10:53. | |
British people. To be honest, this was not if, this was when. The | :10:54. | :10:59. | |
Eurosceptic wing of the party, including some Cabinet ministers who | :11:00. | :11:04. | |
were prominently Eurosceptics, like Chris Grayling, Theresa Villiers, | :11:05. | :11:10. | |
Iain Duncan Smith, they have all said, behind-the-scenes, we need a | :11:11. | :11:15. | |
free vote. Because there will be certain people in Cabinet who will | :11:16. | :11:18. | |
feel that they have to resign if they are bound a collective | :11:19. | :11:25. | |
responsibility. Eurosceptic MPs were pressing the promised to make this | :11:26. | :11:28. | |
announcement at the party conference. He has held and held his | :11:29. | :11:34. | |
ground. Because he did not want to do it. He did say two and are that | :11:35. | :11:39. | |
ministers would not be allowed to do what they wanted to. They were | :11:40. | :11:44. | |
flipping and flopping on this, were they going to do it or not. The | :11:45. | :11:51. | |
point is that now Cameron is looking towards the referendum, and is | :11:52. | :11:55. | |
looking beyond that, to the yes or no vote, how he will rebuild the | :11:56. | :12:01. | |
party, after the event, because it will potentially split it. | :12:02. | :12:06. | |
Michael has time made the point that he felt that Britain would look like | :12:07. | :12:17. | |
a laughing stock -- Michael Heseltine. It would look as if David | :12:18. | :12:22. | |
Cameron had one line on Europe and his cabinet ministers had a raft of | :12:23. | :12:26. | |
different ideas about what should happen. Is it clear that if the | :12:27. | :12:30. | |
prime ministers loses this vote when it comes, potentially in June, | :12:31. | :12:35. | |
you'll have to go? It will be very hard for him to stay, not just him, | :12:36. | :12:42. | |
his associates, George Osborne, the mainstream... They would have to go | :12:43. | :12:47. | |
as well? I'm just saying that this would put all the events of the past | :12:48. | :12:52. | |
years into perspective. This is absolutely massive. The problem that | :12:53. | :12:58. | |
David Cameron has is that he continues to struggle to show the | :12:59. | :13:02. | |
reforms that he is getting in Europe. If he could already have | :13:03. | :13:07. | |
banked them and come back with a paper saying, these are the changes | :13:08. | :13:12. | |
that I have got, he could have gone hell for leather on the Yes | :13:13. | :13:17. | |
campaign. He hasn't even started to do that yet. The Yes campaign has to | :13:18. | :13:24. | |
campaign with one hand tied behind its back. Have got to come in there. | :13:25. | :13:35. | |
The Financial Times. Sainsbury's pursues Home Retail. Fascinating. A | :13:36. | :13:40. | |
lot of activities around mergers and acquisitions. A fascinating story, | :13:41. | :13:47. | |
because you've got a Sainsbury's, a big grocer, Home Retail a big | :13:48. | :13:54. | |
non-food retailer and they are competing against Amazon. Amazon | :13:55. | :14:00. | |
sells non-food products. A lot of people do all the Christmas shopping | :14:01. | :14:07. | |
and Amazon. They are getting drones to deliver the parcels. Sainsbury's | :14:08. | :14:11. | |
will be wondering how they can compete not Amazon wants to be a | :14:12. | :14:16. | |
food retailer. It's an interesting strategic shift in the market. | :14:17. | :14:19. | |
Sainsbury's, one of the biggest grocers... They used to own home | :14:20. | :14:26. | |
base and they sold it in 2000. You can't drop eggs off with a drone! | :14:27. | :14:31. | |
LAUGHTER They will find some packaging! John | :14:32. | :14:37. | |
and Beth, you will be back in one hour. We will look at more stories. | :14:38. | :14:52. | |
