started. We will have the rugby union squares and the latest from

the darts. That is in 15 minutes after the papers -- rugby union

schools. -- scores. Hello, and welcome to

our look ahead to what the papers With me are Caroline Frost,

the entertainment editor of the Huffington Post UK, and David

Williamson, the political editor of Tomorrow's front pages,

starting with: The Telegraph leads on what it calls

the migrant backlash now afflicting Europe following the sexual assaults

in Germany on New Year's Eve. The Guardian's top story is

the sacking of the Cologne police chief for the way

officers dealt with those attacks. The Independent says on its

front page that British troops could face prosecution

in connection with as many The Daily Mail has a different

headline on the same story - the papers claim 280 British troops

are being hounded in an Iraq War The Times has an interview

with former shadow minister Michel Dugher, who claims

Ken Livingstone is pulling the The Financial Times leads on

plunging global stock markets, which it says have suffered their

worst start to the year in decades. The Sun carries the story of a

British mother who says she's suing New York State police

for ?30 million because they seized We will begin with the Guardian and

how it is covering the attacks in Cologne. Sex attacks in Cologne cost

police chief job. Authorities say 18 asylum seekers were arrested. He has

been encouraged to take early retirement because of this to

restore public confidence. Yes, and it is a story that is mystifying.

The facts are beginning to emerge, and the Guardian have done a great

job of getting human stories. Someone had a firework in their

three-year-old's Prem. It seems to have been a night of terror. There

are so many and answered questions. The level of organisation, the level

of intent. And the political and police murkiness. I think this will

come out over months and months and we can expect lots of analysis over

how it is being reported. The suggestion is they were a

co-ordinator group. The media in Germany don't seem to be on stop of

-- on top of this story. There are reports that the media colluded in

keeping this secret. When I first heard this story, I felt he was

being right to be circumspect, because it is so awful to start

playing into everybody's fears about asylum seekers and how they may

behave when they get to foreign lands, but the more you hear about

the human cost, and women having to put a hand into a pram to protect a

baby from a firework, can you imagine if this went on in London or

intolerable behaviour. Any crime on any scale you would hope

properly investigated, but the problem is 18 asylum seekers out of

all of those thousands, tens of hundreds of thousands of people who

have come seeking a safer life here, it is too easy to jump to

conclusions quickly. Absolutely. In the back of people's memories are

things like the disaster in New Orleans, have their work initial

stories of crimes, and then wants people to into the reporting, flaws

were found. People are rightly cautious about jumping into this

again. But there needs to be some reporting. And a great deal of

investigating. Migrants' sex attacks backlash, on this newspaper.

Mounting anger over what has happened. Political tensions,

cultural, societal tensions. Angela Merkel is facing tension in her own

country from political opponents saying the way she has been treating

the whole migrant crisis up to this point, and now this has happened.

She is meanwhile trying to cover by calling for deportation, Swift

punishment. Then there is the question of bread to these people so

that punishments? Do you send them home to Syria? -- road to these

people. Anybody who has committed a crime is in no way I been their

cause. It plays into pre-existing fears and belief of opponents but

there is no such thing as a multicultural Europe. Some of the

leaders in the EU are saying that. A hungry -- a leader from Hungary

saying you need these borders. You have these contrasting opinions

between Angela Merkel and eastern European leaders like the Slovakian

Prime Minister saying the liberal dream is dead. And speculation that

these crimes could be repeated in Finland, in Helsinki. These gentle

places. Livingstone running the Labour leadership on the Times. This

is come from Michael Dugher, who lost his job in the reshuffle. He is

not happy, and his descriptions of a bunch of far left anti-war former

communists, who are apparently taking hold of the Labour Party.

There is a narrative which Jeremy Corbyn's foes are keen to cement at

this early stage, which is that Ken Livingstone is the puppet master and

his new tenants have taken on new positions and he is the power behind

the throne -- lieutenants. I imagine Jeremy Corbyn will have something to

say about this. They are different characters in terms of tone, but it

does feed into this narrative, which is that we have seen the hard left

take over from within, and Michael Dugher surely will also in the

coming months use his position on the backbenches to fire at every

opportunity. And we have the Labour Party's struggles, the strife within

the party on the front page. Not talking about the opposition.

Absolutely not. It has been the chiding crisis, whether Jeremy

Corbyn would apply the whip to his party members -- trident. This is a

surprising rebranding of canoeist on. He has been this firebrand on

the radio. -- Ken Livingstone. He has been a quiet person, staying out

of the limelight as long as he can control. But I am enjoying the

rebranding. I wonder if he is. 280 troops handed in Iraq while

witch-hunt, Fury as soldiers are sent a legal threat. We will not

look at in detail, but the Independent taking a different time

and saying at least 55 deaths need to be investigated -- different

time. It has been going on for a long time, this investigation into

abuses in Iraq. One day, we might have a whole newspaper without the

legacy of Iraqi being questioned and mulled over. There are different

perspectives. The Independent saying a factual account where they have

created a body investigation that have presented cases to their

version of the Crown has it in, and the mall going in on the defensive

saying this is unfair to veterans who have served their country -- the

Mail. It cost a lot of money, but that is justice. In Northern

Ireland, they have been historical enquiry teams. You look at the

events of bloody Sunday, and so many decades on, the enormous

repercussions. Britain does need to show it is accountable for its role

around the world. The difficulty is these troops have this hanging over

them and there is no and to it. It goes on and on. It must be a

situation where any soldier stepping off a plane knowing this might

happen down the line, it is probably different from World War Two when we

had nothing. Even in Vietnam, where we had groundbreaking journalism, it

was still a case of if there were reporters to see it. And now people

do have smart phones. We have seen amazing reporting coming out of

Syria. People brave enough to upload that they have shot themselves.

Let's look at the Guardian. Pollution limit broken in London. We

were supposed to be holding ourselves to account over this. My

reaction is gulp. I remember a speed camera in London where consistently

there were so many speed tickets eventually raise the limit of the

road. I just wonder at what point they decide this is not able to be

enforced. If these moments... Do they find every street? They said

Oxford Street hit its limit after two days. It seems to be untenable.

The monitoring station was broken. Just overloaded. At some point we

have to get a grip on this. We need to meet these targets, that only a

few weeks ago in Paris were set. There is a focus on carbon

emissions, but it was not that long ago we talked about this being

linked to diesel pollution. And now diesel is cheaper than it has been

for a long time. Either we wait for Google to give us a electric cars,

or we do something about diesel. Then you are interfering in a

political fight. Page eight of the debris now. Smaller portions or face

punishment. -- the Daily Mail. Suddenly a prospect of levies being

introduced for food and drinks. One thing you would not expect and eight

a Conservative government would be a nanny state. But the sugar is still

there and people are still getting bigger. The chief medical officer

has come out and they are cracking the whip. It is effectively like the

Mary Poppins a lot Mrs Doubtfire solution, he comes the nanny to save

the day. We have had a reaction with the alcohol advice as well. I do

have questions. How successful have the absolute price hikes on

cigarettes being in the last 10-15 years? ?10 for a packet of

cigarettes, have sales diminished, our people healthier? I want to know

it if there is a parallel I can draw on to see if this will succeed.

People ultimately like cake. It could just be that adding another

5p, I'm sure those levies Wolfie down to the consumer, but at what

point does it become prohibitive or an incentive to say I will eat my

greens. And there is portion size. How big is your plate? We have

become a nation that has huge plates. You look at wedding lists

and they want to eat things because there are tables. It off a side

plate. There you go. -- eat. If we go back to the Times, which I

inconveniently put away, the photo is of Alicia Vikander. We are

talking about BAFTA nominations. This is the actress who has been in

The Danish Girl with Eddie Redmayne, and a science-fiction

thriller Ex Machina. She is supposed to be a fantastic actress. She is a

supreme star of the future. She has only just begun and we are lucky to

have her. She's from that stable of Scandinavian and textiles. There was

all the talk of Eddie Redmayne's rate transformative powers, and then

of course now we are saying what is the title even referred to? It could

even referred to his wife. Allies are on Alicia Vikander, because she

is nominated twice. -- all eyes. Some of the big films like Star Wars

have not been recognised in the nominations you might have expected.

Especially, as Britain went so wild over the last James Bond, which was

seen as a critical and commercial fantasia. But Star Wars of course

almost takes pride. It was delighting audiences and dismaying

critics. I think James Cameron and Star Wars

are famous for that, but they don't need the awards in a way that these

other films do. People will flock to see them no matter what they wind or

don't wind. . -- wind or don't win. Hello and welcome to Sportsday,

third round FA Cup tie, earning
