the first round. Wright 13-0. A bit of a rest for the ponies as well as | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
for me. Hello and welcome to our look ahead | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
to what the the papers will be With me are Vikki Orvice, | :00:00. | :00:17. | |
Sports Writer at the Sun, and Katie Martin from the Financial | :00:18. | :00:20. | |
Times. At least the first editions. The | :00:21. | :00:40. | |
Times says British officials believe Russia is waging cyber attacks and | :00:41. | :00:43. | |
unconventional warfare against the UK. The Daily Mail leads with the | :00:44. | :00:49. | |
chaos facing people planning to travel abroad this Christmas after | :00:50. | :00:54. | |
trade unions announced strikes over the festive period. The Independent | :00:55. | :00:58. | |
describes a prison system in crisis after prisoners staged a riot at | :00:59. | :01:02. | |
Birmingham prison which is still going on tonight. The Telegraph has | :01:03. | :01:06. | |
a story of two former soldiers prosecuted for the murder of an IRA | :01:07. | :01:11. | |
commander in Belfast 44 years ago. The Express says the Home Office has | :01:12. | :01:15. | |
been accused of trying to cover-up the number of illegal migrants | :01:16. | :01:19. | |
attempting to get into Britain. The Guardian leads with an accusation by | :01:20. | :01:26. | |
Clinton and flood amid Putin -- by Hillary Clinton that President Putin | :01:27. | :01:35. | |
was involved in the US election. The Daily Mirror leads on the story that | :01:36. | :01:41. | |
Camelot has been fined ?3 million for paying out on an potentially | :01:42. | :01:47. | |
bogus ticket. Let's begin with The Times. Russia threat to Britain, so | :01:48. | :01:54. | |
it's not just the United States that has something to fear. That's the | :01:55. | :01:57. | |
fascinating thing. We've been getting used to the idea that Russia | :01:58. | :02:02. | |
has been involved in some way directly or indirectly with the US | :02:03. | :02:06. | |
elections. I don't think it's occurred to that many people this | :02:07. | :02:09. | |
could spread further and they could be involved in politics on our | :02:10. | :02:15. | |
shores. Yes, The Times is saying there is propaganda and | :02:16. | :02:18. | |
unconventional warfare, fake news has become a huge topic in the | :02:19. | :02:29. | |
states. I know that organisations with a "alt-right" bent are trying | :02:30. | :02:33. | |
to get themselves established in Europe and it's something the UK | :02:34. | :02:38. | |
needs to look closely at. Theresa May is going to chair a national | :02:39. | :02:43. | |
security session to discuss potential Russian interference. | :02:44. | :02:46. | |
Clearly this has been taken to the highest level. Interesting nobody is | :02:47. | :02:51. | |
yet suggesting some how he might have tried to influence the outcome | :02:52. | :02:55. | |
of the European referendum result. What do you make of this? A lot of | :02:56. | :03:00. | |
this is speculative, may be partly because it's the kind of subject we | :03:01. | :03:04. | |
don't necessarily know who is pulling what strings. It is | :03:05. | :03:09. | |
fascinating in terms of a new Cold War except it is computers and | :03:10. | :03:16. | |
cyberspace rather than checkpoint Charlie! There is a lovely quote | :03:17. | :03:21. | |
from President Obama speaking yesterday, telling Russia don't do | :03:22. | :03:25. | |
this stuff because we can do this to you. Of course, it's complicated by | :03:26. | :03:33. | |
the fact we've got Donald Trump as President-elect who claims to be | :03:34. | :03:40. | |
Putin's new best friend! Maybe it will all stop. Maybe. One of the | :03:41. | :03:48. | |
things that struck me, as he was saying that that quote from Obama, | :03:49. | :03:52. | |
the rhetoric around international relations has become incredibly | :03:53. | :03:57. | |
petty. This isn't a playground argument, this is national security. | :03:58. | :04:02. | |
You will remember that photograph a lot of papers ran back in September | :04:03. | :04:06. | |
of the two men standing staring at each other on smiling at the G20. | :04:07. | :04:11. | |
President Obama said tonight on the news conference we ran that he had | :04:12. | :04:15. | |
basically said at that meeting to Vladimir Putin, cut it out or there | :04:16. | :04:20. | |
will be consequences. He says he appears to have done. Maybe Theresa | :04:21. | :04:24. | |
May needs to try something similar next time she bumps into Vladimir | :04:25. | :04:32. | |
Putin! I'd like to be a fly on the wall! Staying with President Putin | :04:33. | :04:37. | |
and The Guardian also with a photo of Michelle Obama who is apparently | :04:38. | :04:44. | |
going to tell an Oprah about life in the White House and what she brings | :04:45. | :04:52. | |
about her husband 's achievements, Hillary Clinton has accused Vladimir | :04:53. | :04:55. | |
Putin of this because she doesn't like him very much. It is apparently | :04:56. | :05:01. | |
"Personal beef" against because of criticism levelled against him over | :05:02. | :05:06. | |
national elections in Russia. This is what she was saying to donors in | :05:07. | :05:12. | |
Manhattan, apparently. It resonates with the idea that international | :05:13. | :05:15. | |
relations appeared to have become incredibly petty. Clearly, she feels | :05:16. | :05:20. | |
she has been singled out and victimised here. Certainly, the way | :05:21. | :05:27. | |
that all of this, the e-mail leaks from the Democratic party and over | :05:28. | :05:33. | |
the course of the election... The media had all the tools at their | :05:34. | :05:37. | |
disposal to run the same stories about the Republicans but they | :05:38. | :05:42. | |
didn't. There is all kinds of analysis that needs to go into how | :05:43. | :05:47. | |
this all happened. Certainly Hillary Clinton, she's a pretty serious | :05:48. | :05:52. | |
person, she's making direct allegations has. Is there a risk of | :05:53. | :05:57. | |
her in doing this? That she looks like a sore loser? She does. At the | :05:58. | :06:03. | |
bottom of this story it says Obama is waiting for a final report into | :06:04. | :06:10. | |
Russian hacking attacks. He says they will publish it at a time and | :06:11. | :06:14. | |
place of their own choosing. You would assume he will publish it in | :06:15. | :06:21. | |
the next month. Unless he does something really clever and | :06:22. | :06:25. | |
publishes it on Vladimir Putin's Facebook page which proves he can do | :06:26. | :06:32. | |
to them what they did to him! The point is serious. Actually, he's on | :06:33. | :06:36. | |
the way out and in a sense this could be the blustering of the | :06:37. | :06:42. | |
school yard again. But actually, I can call you out but I can't do very | :06:43. | :06:48. | |
much. Yes, but by the CIA and FBI are on the same page now. A few days | :06:49. | :06:53. | |
ago there was some disagreement. The FBI wouldn't endorse what the CIA | :06:54. | :06:57. | |
said about Russia being responsible. Exactly. Now they say they agree. To | :06:58. | :07:02. | |
the extent they might feel they will get sidelined under Trump, he seems | :07:03. | :07:07. | |
to like to do national security and briefings his own way... I guess | :07:08. | :07:16. | |
it's in their interests to work on this through Christmas and get this | :07:17. | :07:20. | |
done before The Donald is in the hot seat. Order with the day before. | :07:21. | :07:26. | |
Let's move on to the Financial Times weekend. You've got a story on the | :07:27. | :07:36. | |
front here. Let's start with the one at the bottom which is fantastic | :07:37. | :07:43. | |
quirky story about this drone that the US Navy was using but the | :07:44. | :07:47. | |
Chinese seem to have scooped up and run away with. Which again, | :07:48. | :07:51. | |
diplomatic relations at the moment when you've got Trump ringing | :07:52. | :08:10. | |
Taiwan... It's utterly bizarre because the indication is it was | :08:11. | :08:15. | |
doing some kind of Marine biology, not military at all. But obviously | :08:16. | :08:20. | |
America is saying we want it back! Not even clear who's got it. | :08:21. | :08:27. | |
Unidentified Chinese fisher man? Bully we want our ball back! It | :08:28. | :08:36. | |
probably is a ball. Again, it plays into this idea, and obviously this | :08:37. | :08:48. | |
isn't Russia but he's being prodded before the new guy arrives. The new | :08:49. | :08:53. | |
guy hasn't got off to the best fitting with China. We just | :08:54. | :08:57. | |
mentioned the phone call he took from Taiwan. You can brush it off | :08:58. | :09:03. | |
and say it was a ten minute chat, the President just wanted to be nice | :09:04. | :09:07. | |
and say congratulations, where is the harm. There's a lot of harm | :09:08. | :09:12. | |
here! China takes its one China policy pretty seriously. Either this | :09:13. | :09:18. | |
is a blunder from Trump or a sign of how relations are going to be from | :09:19. | :09:26. | |
now on, but, things like this, China snaffling drones from the sea, these | :09:27. | :09:32. | |
things don't happen by accident. It is likely this was a well | :09:33. | :09:36. | |
choreographed decision from the top. This is China we are talking about. | :09:37. | :09:41. | |
The early flushes of the relationship between China and | :09:42. | :09:46. | |
Donald Trump do not look fantastic. Interesting that Obama was saying at | :09:47. | :09:50. | |
his news conference that China does the same stuff he accuses Russia | :09:51. | :09:56. | |
forgiving but he says they do it for business. They try to manipulate | :09:57. | :10:01. | |
cyber data for business benefits rather than political ones. Some | :10:02. | :10:05. | |
interesting questions will be asked of the new administration. Let's | :10:06. | :10:09. | |
move onto your story, this is interesting in the light of the | :10:10. | :10:13. | |
threat that UK banks could lose the right trade in your raise once we | :10:14. | :10:18. | |
are out of the European Union. This is a different take on the future of | :10:19. | :10:27. | |
the city. A lot of people were saying foreign banks have a huge | :10:28. | :10:30. | |
presence in the UK and in the event of leaving the European Union, a lot | :10:31. | :10:35. | |
of them might feel to be in the EU. A lot of this was dismissed as | :10:36. | :10:41. | |
Project fear. In real life, these banks, in this case Japanese banks, | :10:42. | :10:44. | |
they really need these practical things to be in place. There was a | :10:45. | :10:48. | |
meeting at the Treasury between lots of officials from Japanese banks | :10:49. | :10:54. | |
with some Treasury officials and it was a frank exchange of views. | :10:55. | :11:02. | |
LAUGHTER I love that phrase! What were they saying to the Treasury | :11:03. | :11:08. | |
officials? It's all going to be great, don't worry about it. | :11:09. | :11:12. | |
Obviously they weren't being that glib. What the Japanese banks were | :11:13. | :11:17. | |
saying is we need to know we can get passporting. Basically we can have | :11:18. | :11:21. | |
the right to trade on behalf of our clients, do business on behalf of | :11:22. | :11:24. | |
our clients in the European Union and the UK. We are kind of in London | :11:25. | :11:29. | |
because it's part of the European Union. They need to get some solid | :11:30. | :11:33. | |
guidance on what is going to happen to these passporting writes, | :11:34. | :11:37. | |
otherwise they are going to start planning to leave by mid-2017 which | :11:38. | :11:43. | |
is pretty soon. It's very soon, are you worried? Or do you feel this is | :11:44. | :11:50. | |
part of the lobbying... If you are trying to plan and you are a | :11:51. | :11:54. | |
business, you tend to want to know how it is going to work you. And is | :11:55. | :11:59. | |
it better to relocate to Frankfurt or or wherever. Some government | :12:00. | :12:05. | |
ministers think some of these worries are exaggerated. Yes, for | :12:06. | :12:12. | |
example a good number of thousand of people who were employed by Japanese | :12:13. | :12:16. | |
banks in London, it's difficult for me to imagine they will all | :12:17. | :12:23. | |
disappear overnight. It's not just about Japan, this is almost a test | :12:24. | :12:27. | |
case. If the rules aren't good enough Japanese banks, are they good | :12:28. | :12:33. | |
enough German, Italian banks? Say what you like about bankers, but | :12:34. | :12:39. | |
ranks provide a lot of money into this country. There comes a point at | :12:40. | :12:44. | |
which your cutting your nose off to spite your face. Talking about where | :12:45. | :12:49. | |
people might be going, are either of you planning to travel away over | :12:50. | :12:54. | |
Christmas? Plans to go and lie on a beach? I've just been away. When you | :12:55. | :13:02. | |
see the front of The Daily Mail? We've spoken about the Cold War and | :13:03. | :13:09. | |
Russia. It's like papers from 30 years ago! I do like the quite "The | :13:10. | :13:17. | |
grinches who stole Christmas" is a furious MPs. It's not just the cabin | :13:18. | :13:26. | |
crew, BA cabin crew. At least BA look as if they've tried to pick | :13:27. | :13:30. | |
Christmas Day and Boxing Day. The big problem looks like it'll be the | :13:31. | :13:33. | |
baggage handlers who are going to start on the 23rd on the 24th. If | :13:34. | :13:39. | |
you remember those scenes a few years ago of huge queues. A lot of | :13:40. | :13:44. | |
people even at regional airports, a lot of people now check in online, | :13:45. | :13:48. | |
even if they don't check in when they arrive, so the interaction is | :13:49. | :13:53. | |
not as much as it once was. My colleague here, the business | :13:54. | :13:59. | |
correspondence was saying he heard that at Stansted Ryanair had said if | :14:00. | :14:02. | |
the baggage handlers aren't there and people aren't that then they | :14:03. | :14:05. | |
will simply make it hand luggage only. There is a nice quote here, | :14:06. | :14:12. | |
one industry source has advised passengers to pack Christmas | :14:13. | :14:15. | |
presents, valuables and a change of clothes in their hand luggage. If | :14:16. | :14:20. | |
you remember a few years ago there was a guy who tested out a coat to | :14:21. | :14:25. | |
go on one of the budget airlines. He had pockets everywhere. So he didn't | :14:26. | :14:33. | |
have to pay his ?45 extra. It could catch on! We've got time for a | :14:34. | :14:38. | |
couple more quick little stories. The Daily Telegraph, could there be | :14:39. | :14:45. | |
a threat to your Christmas bird this year? If the turkey is still running | :14:46. | :14:53. | |
around on the farm somewhere before it faces its fate. It's in its final | :14:54. | :14:58. | |
days. Turkeys can't catch a break at this time of year. In addition to | :14:59. | :15:03. | |
the poor turkeys that are going to be gracing our Christmas tables, | :15:04. | :15:08. | |
there has been an outbreak of bird flu on a Lincolnshire farm which has | :15:09. | :15:12. | |
tested positive for a strain of the disease. The poor turkeys, if they | :15:13. | :15:17. | |
aren't about to end up on dinner tables then they've got the lurgy. | :15:18. | :15:25. | |
Experts will say you can't get it as a human but there is always that | :15:26. | :15:29. | |
fear it will put people off buying it in the first place. It's | :15:30. | :15:34. | |
Christmas Day, if you're going to get a turkey you're going to get a | :15:35. | :15:39. | |
turkey in one way or another. Interesting, it was on the continent | :15:40. | :15:43. | |
and there was a warning affecting a lot of French farmers and inevitably | :15:44. | :15:46. | |
it still spread as these things have a chance to do. And finally as they | :15:47. | :15:52. | |
used to say on the news. You spotted this story so you should tell us | :15:53. | :16:02. | |
about it. The government has launched a nationwide competition to | :16:03. | :16:06. | |
host the 2023 European capital of culture, even though Britain is | :16:07. | :16:11. | |
leaving the EU. The Culture Secretary has made the argument that | :16:12. | :16:14. | |
the United Kingdom is leaving the EU but we aren't leaving Europe. | :16:15. | :16:22. | |
Apparently it's the UK's turn to play host alongside Hungary because | :16:23. | :16:27. | |
it's Hull next year. We have the Hull City of Culture bus down here | :16:28. | :16:32. | |
outside Broadcasting House and an enthusiastic team of supporters | :16:33. | :16:35. | |
talking about the great things that will be happening in Hull next year. | :16:36. | :16:44. | |
It's a bit unfortunate timing, this! Britain's eligibility to participate | :16:45. | :16:48. | |
in the scheme will be decided as part of the Brexit negotiations. | :16:49. | :16:53. | |
This is part of our trade-off. Do you think Theresa should give up | :16:54. | :16:58. | |
culture to keep British residents able to give in the EU or is the | :16:59. | :17:05. | |
City of Culture more important? Somewhere someone has got a | :17:06. | :17:09. | |
whiteboard with banking, your revision, capital of culture on the | :17:10. | :17:14. | |
other! You've got to get your bargaining chips where you can! | :17:15. | :17:22. | |
Check the whole City of Culture website, a lot will be happening | :17:23. | :17:29. | |
there. And who knows, possibly a British City of Culture in 2023. | :17:30. | :17:33. | |
Thank you both so much. Don't forget all the front pages | :17:34. | :17:37. | |
