This is BBC News, with Julian Worricker.

We'll be taking a look at tomorrow morning's papers in a moment -

Tens of thousands of homes have been left

without power, as parts of southern Britain are battered by heavy rain

David Cameron has insisted he's not "going soft" with plans to shake

up the prison system in England and Wales.

He wants to reduce re-offending and give governors more control

who died at an army barracks over 20 years ago, may not

Jurgen Klopp doesn't want to see Liverpool fans walk out again in

protest at ticket prices. And which two championship clubs have sacked

their managers. That is in 15 minutes.

Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be

With me are broadcasters Petrie Hosken and David Davis.

Tomorrow's front pages, starting with:

In the Daily Telegraph, sources at the French interior

ministry cast doubt on David Cameron's warning

that the Jungle migrant camp could move from Calais to Britain

Yes, this has happened so quickly. David Cameron was only just

terrifying us all with the prospect of refugee camps growing and setting

up in Kent, and already, insiders in France are saying actually, no. This

is because a treaty was formed between France and Britain. It had

nothing to do with the EU. It was set up in 2003, and they are saying,

we have no intention of breaking that if you leave the EU. Much to

the chagrined of the Calais mayor, who has always hated the idea of

this treaty, but means that the border for Britain is in France, not

in Britain. She would like it to be moved back to the UK to Dover, and

of course, that is not something Britain would like. But now it is

embarrassing that this has happened so quickly. I have great faith in

Petrie. I am not so sure about her faith in France. It is entirely

correct that this is not part of any EU deal. But, yes, you could have a

hundred reassurances, although this reassurance that the Telegraph has

is from French sources, so they would not renege on the 2003

agreement, undermining Mr Cameron's claims. But of course, French

governments change and they may change rather quickly. The deputy

mayor of Calais is quoted as well, saying, we will have to cancel it.

And the Merit Calais already wants things done and has been fighting

for that for some time. So to be fair to the Prime Minister, that is

his point. Governments and leaderships change, and there are a

lot of people in France who don't want to this. What worries me is

these quick, sweeping statements. He is supposed to be entering into

negotiations to make us all want to stay within the EU. You cannot just

throw things out that are suddenly knocked down. He should know that it

is only a possibility. Why not say that, instead of the scaremongering?

Hang on, scaremongering? For goodness' sake, we are living in an

epochal political time, in my humble opinion. In a year's time, who knows

where the Tory party will be, who knows where the Labour Party will be

after the referendum? You have senior Tories accusing a Tory Prime

Minister of desperate scaremongering. And who knows where

the UK will be? If we lose the EU, we might have a Labour Prime

Minister, because we might have a snap election. Interesting thought.

The Metro leads on the Prime Minister's proposals to let former

prisoners keep their criminal records private when they first

And prisoner for dominated most headlines -- prison reform. But he

had other subjects on his mind as well, relate to this. The Metro

Tasers convicted criminals are to be allowed to conceal their record to

help them find work. They will no longer have to tick a box to declare

their offences when applying to join the civil service. Further down, we

are told, only if they succeed in getting an interview will they be

required to reveal their past. It seems to me that at some stage, they

will have to reveal their past. I don't know what this is. I think it

is fluff and nonsense. Well, the Prime Minister claims are fenders

should get the chance to state their case. In other words, they get as

far as an interview. So if it is OK for the civil service to accept

people, shall we get rid of the CRB checks or whatever they are called

now, which cost decent people ?40 a time if they want to work in

different places? We have to decide what we are going to do with

criminals and what happens to them afterwards. I don't think throwing

these things out is a solution. I agree that there are many people who

are criminalised by past behaviours, when perhaps they shouldn't be. They

should be able to get a job that will help them stay on the straight

and narrow, but statements like this are not helpful. It is a good

illustration of the mess the halls is done is in. Most would not argue

with that. Let's look at the daily Star's front page. There is a

dramatic photograph of the aftermath of Storm Imogen. We were just

looking at images on the BBC as well of reporters standing and being

blown to smithereens by the storm. I have done it in my past. I am sure

you have as well! I have seen enough reporters being buffeted along sea

fronts. And we were also looking at people going for a stroll, which was

extraordinary, because if they ended up in the sea, someone would have to

risk themselves rescuing them. But let's not forget while looking at

the awesomeness of this that there are people who have been in

accidents. Two children were hurt when a wall fell down and people are

without electricity. It is pretty miserable if you are in it. David,

staying with the Daily Star, a reference to the dreadful injury

that Beth Tweddle suffered. It is a dreadful injury and it is the third

in the Syrians, a hat-trick of these serious injuries that this Channel 4

programme has managed in the current series. I have to ask, what are they

doing? And they are getting advice from, amongst others, Eddie the

Eagle! He is worried about the future of such a series with the

risks involved. This is an extraordinary programme. I did watch

it last week. And I honestly could not believe that this was a new form

of entertainment. It is horrific. I don't mind celebrities making fools

of themselves. Some, I don't even mind injuring themselves. But when

you watch this programme, they did the skeleton. You know when they lie

on a tea tray, they were doing 90 kilometres per hour. These are

amateurs. Rebekah Brooks her shoulder -- Rebecca Adlington broke

her shoulder. Contestants try to master various winter sports,

including ski jumping and skating. I am only just recovering from the

final of Celebrity Big Brother. , back, all is forgiven! -- comeback.

Do we need a programme where people are literally putting their lives at

risk? Beth Tweddle's parents were concerned that she might be

paralysed. She has broken two vertebrae in her neck. She is an

Olympic bronze medal winning athlete and she is still injured, so what

actresses and people from Towie are going to do, I have no idea. I will

tell you what the spokesperson for Channel 4 said. All winter sports

carry some risk, but in light of the number of injuries this year,

Channel 4 has asked the producers to review safety procedures. How can

there be safety procedures? No competitor is cleared to jump unless

experts deem them proficient, it says. But they are clearly not

proficient! According to Eddie the Eagle, who I believe on this

subject, you have to practise and practise. And he has a film out

about his life. We have raced through those newspapers.

Thank you to both of you - you'll be back at 11.30 for another

look at the stories making the news tomorrow.
