Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be | :00:14. | :00:16. | |
With me are Martin Lipton, deputy head of sport | :00:17. | :00:22. | |
at The Sun and Martin Bentham, home affairs editor | :00:23. | :00:24. | |
We will go through the review in a moment. Let's look at the front | :00:25. | :00:34. | |
pages. The Daily Telegraph claims | :00:35. | :00:37. | |
that Royal Mail staff, leaving Theresa May facing pressure | :00:38. | :00:39. | |
over "industrial chaos." The paper also notes Andy Murray's | :00:40. | :00:45. | |
third Sports Personality victory. The Guardian also | :00:46. | :00:50. | |
celebrates Murray's win, but focuses on claims | :00:51. | :00:53. | |
that the justice secretary had prior warning ahead of the riot at HMP | :00:54. | :00:57. | |
Birmingham on Friday. The Metro leads with | :00:58. | :01:02. | |
former Chancellor George Osborne's verdict that his warnings | :01:03. | :01:04. | |
about the UK being poorer Brexit also dominates | :01:05. | :01:06. | |
the Financial Times, but the paper focuses on fears | :01:07. | :01:13. | |
about exit talks being delayed will mean banks | :01:14. | :01:16. | |
leaving the UK for abroad. And the Daily Mail | :01:17. | :01:21. | |
leads with the claim that millions of pounds of UK aid money has been | :01:22. | :01:24. | |
used to fund a talk show Let's begin. Nice to see you both. | :01:25. | :01:39. | |
We're going to start with the Daily Telegraph, the postman. Misery for | :01:40. | :01:46. | |
commuters at Christmas is one thing, but kids now, this is the threat and | :01:47. | :01:54. | |
it is very much could, might, maybe. Royal Mail staff may go on strike to | :01:55. | :02:03. | |
add to the misery and prevent cards and presents being delivered in time | :02:04. | :02:07. | |
for Christmas. This is part of the backdrop of the wider sense of | :02:08. | :02:13. | |
industrial disputes in a variety of industries. Southern Rail, that has | :02:14. | :02:20. | |
gone on and has been the main focus but there is the stoppage for the | :02:21. | :02:26. | |
British Airways cabin crew. And a sector of the Tory party, calling | :02:27. | :02:33. | |
for Theresa May to act, calling on her to think about imposing | :02:34. | :02:38. | |
legislation to prevent strike action in a number of industries. This | :02:39. | :02:41. | |
story suggests not that they will strike, the Royal Mail workers, but | :02:42. | :02:48. | |
they will not cross the picket line, so they won't be able to collect the | :02:49. | :02:54. | |
mail that the striking post office workers are stopping them from | :02:55. | :02:56. | |
getting by having picket line. Slightly different but if it | :02:57. | :03:02. | |
happened the effect would be pretty catastrophic and a lot of people not | :03:03. | :03:04. | |
getting their presence and cards in time. It plays into the bigger | :03:05. | :03:12. | |
issue. A wider issue. Industrial play-offs for Theresa May. There is | :03:13. | :03:17. | |
a quote from David Mellor saying that the description of Theresa May | :03:18. | :03:20. | |
as the new Margaret Thatcher is as wide of the mark as it could be, | :03:21. | :03:24. | |
given that Thatcher is seen as someone who got on top of the | :03:25. | :03:28. | |
unions. On the other hand she faced a lot of industrial action before | :03:29. | :03:32. | |
she did that and those laws that she passed are still in place and have | :03:33. | :03:39. | |
been strengthened. The Southern Rail dispute, there has been a vote, it | :03:40. | :03:43. | |
has gone in favour and it is difficult for the government to take | :03:44. | :03:46. | |
the kind of action that some people in the Tory party are saying, to | :03:47. | :03:53. | |
react to every strike by passing tougher legislation. The consolation | :03:54. | :03:56. | |
is that many of us will be buying presents online and a lot of | :03:57. | :03:59. | |
presence don't go through the Royal Mail, which is why they have | :04:00. | :04:05. | |
suffered so much. So children might get their presence this year! | :04:06. | :04:10. | |
Imaging the chaos otherwise, would you want to deal with your kids? Of | :04:11. | :04:18. | |
course it is Santa, not the Royal Mail! Some of those companies | :04:19. | :04:22. | |
haven't been very efficient, a few stories about them. Staying with the | :04:23. | :04:29. | |
Daily Telegraph, patients being turned away from A, it says. Not | :04:30. | :04:35. | |
very cheerful front page, is it? Strikes and then you've got this | :04:36. | :04:42. | |
story, talking about papers to the board of NHS England. Not as bad as | :04:43. | :04:46. | |
it sounds, although the NHS faces enormous pressure. Basically saying | :04:47. | :04:51. | |
that there are some hospitals in the country that have triage system is | :04:52. | :04:56. | |
where innocence, people who turn up and don't need A treatment are | :04:57. | :05:00. | |
immediately seen by doctors and nurses and then they are sent away | :05:01. | :05:05. | |
to be dealt with at a lower level. Some hospitals already do that. It | :05:06. | :05:10. | |
says that GPs and nurses should be at the front doors to turn away the | :05:11. | :05:14. | |
less serious people. In a sense that already happens. The NHS board have | :05:15. | :05:19. | |
been told that some hospitals who don't do this kind of triage, to | :05:20. | :05:23. | |
make sure that the people who need emergency treatment get it... Those | :05:24. | :05:27. | |
that don't have the practice should be doing it. Similar with moving | :05:28. | :05:33. | |
people out of beds into other accommodation settings, that | :05:34. | :05:38. | |
should... That happens in some hospitals efficiently and in others | :05:39. | :05:43. | |
it doesn't. When people should move is another issue and sometimes | :05:44. | :05:46. | |
people are shot out to soon. We hear this story every year. It is the | :05:47. | :05:54. | |
issue of what services will be open, some will be closed at this time of | :05:55. | :05:58. | |
year, they aren't going to be open at night. During the day it is a | :05:59. | :06:06. | |
question. There are more silly and minor issues that people may have | :06:07. | :06:11. | |
after a glass of sherry. It is the staffing levels and everything else. | :06:12. | :06:15. | |
Clearly the NHS is under pressure for all sorts of reasons, rising | :06:16. | :06:20. | |
demand for GPs and A services. This is saying that the usual winter | :06:21. | :06:26. | |
problems, prepare for them by doing these things. It doesn't alter the | :06:27. | :06:30. | |
underlying demands and pressures that the NHS faces. It is saying, | :06:31. | :06:38. | |
get ready. Turning to the Financial Times, it is Brexit. Oh, really? The | :06:39. | :06:46. | |
latest little... Liam Fox talking about we might be part of a customs | :06:47. | :06:51. | |
union, seems to be a softening of their stance. This is the potential | :06:52. | :06:56. | |
delay in Brexit talks that could see some of the banks looking to shift | :06:57. | :07:04. | |
from London into the Eurozone. This is clearly a threat from the banks, | :07:05. | :07:09. | |
trying to get a deal, they want to put a brake on the harder Brexit. | :07:10. | :07:15. | |
These games will be played for most of the next couple of years. This | :07:16. | :07:21. | |
story is a bit thin, saying that the EU would like to finalise the | :07:22. | :07:24. | |
divorce papers so to speak first, which we knew, and they want to get | :07:25. | :07:31. | |
this 50, 60 billion agreed that we are going to pay, honouring existing | :07:32. | :07:37. | |
commitments and after that they will go on to negotiating things like | :07:38. | :07:41. | |
trade arrangements and so on. Because that will take time to get | :07:42. | :07:47. | |
to that point... This passport issued, all of the banks would like | :07:48. | :07:51. | |
to operate basically as they do now. Is that fair of them to need it so | :07:52. | :07:59. | |
early on? We haven't even got the... We have the Supreme Court hearing, | :08:00. | :08:03. | |
the result in the New Year. Should they be asking so early on? Lloyd's | :08:04. | :08:07. | |
of London have already said they are prepping. There is a difference, any | :08:08. | :08:14. | |
loss of jobs in any business, the banking industry, it is very | :08:15. | :08:17. | |
important to the country and its economy so we don't want to seek | :08:18. | :08:22. | |
lots of business is going to Europe -- we don't want to see. Many people | :08:23. | :08:28. | |
think that if it shifts out of London it is as likely to shift to | :08:29. | :08:32. | |
New York, partly for reasons of employment legislation and so on. | :08:33. | :08:36. | |
Not helpful to the financial sector in general. Some people might move | :08:37. | :08:42. | |
parts of their operations to certain European jurisdictions, to remain | :08:43. | :08:50. | |
part of the EU. There is a lot to play for here still. They are | :08:51. | :08:56. | |
positioning, because there's a sense of uncertainty about the shape of | :08:57. | :09:00. | |
the negotiations, people are trying to the armlock on all sides and you | :09:01. | :09:06. | |
can understand why. These are commercial entities and they sense a | :09:07. | :09:09. | |
potential problem, opportunity and they are trying to do the best they | :09:10. | :09:12. | |
can to manoeuvre things in their direction. They will until there is | :09:13. | :09:17. | |
certainty where we are going. This idea that we must agree the divorce | :09:18. | :09:23. | |
settlement before agreeing anything else, of course they want the money | :09:24. | :09:27. | |
from us so I'm not sure that we'll just agree to it if they aren't | :09:28. | :09:32. | |
playing ball in everything else. We can run parallel negotiations which | :09:33. | :09:36. | |
is what our government wants to do. We should honour commitments but I | :09:37. | :09:39. | |
don't think we need to sign until we have a sense of progress and | :09:40. | :09:45. | |
cooperation. We are going to turn to the Guardian and Andy Murray. Good | :09:46. | :09:50. | |
old Andy. Topping off a fabulous year. Outstanding. Nailed on winner | :09:51. | :09:59. | |
always going to win. Not for his victory this time. His tremendous | :10:00. | :10:04. | |
success this year is a bit of a surprise because he's been around | :10:05. | :10:08. | |
for a long time and in a sense you felt that they few years ago his | :10:09. | :10:12. | |
time had been, he hadn't quite done it, he had performed well. Brilliant | :10:13. | :10:17. | |
but he was in the area of Nadal and Djokovic and Federer and he was seen | :10:18. | :10:23. | |
as slightly below their level. In any other era he would have been the | :10:24. | :10:28. | |
best. And the second half of this year, he's been magnificent, his | :10:29. | :10:35. | |
performance at Wimbledon was fantastic and ending the year as | :10:36. | :10:39. | |
number one, dethroning Djokovic was by Bilic. Third time in a row that | :10:40. | :10:46. | |
he's won this award and rightly so. People like Andy Murray! They | :10:47. | :10:55. | |
didn't. He has given of himself in a way that he didn't, he used to beat | :10:56. | :10:59. | |
Kevin the teenager but now he has developed and grown up and | :11:00. | :11:04. | |
fatherhood has softened him. Everyone really likes him. I think | :11:05. | :11:08. | |
he's a genuinely nice bloke, he comes across that way and people | :11:09. | :11:15. | |
relate to him in a way they didn't before, he was a bit surly and | :11:16. | :11:20. | |
snarky. He is genuinely warm and also very good at tennis and in a | :11:21. | :11:26. | |
fantastic sporting year for the country, apart from the football, he | :11:27. | :11:29. | |
has been the standout character. That's your fault! I'm always | :11:30. | :11:38. | |
responsible. Brilliant performance. He has befriended his Olympic title, | :11:39. | :11:45. | |
Wimbledon and so on. -- he has defended. He plays entertaining | :11:46. | :11:51. | |
tennis, he isn't reliant on the big serves. He has power but he also has | :11:52. | :11:54. | |
finessed, at his best he is beautiful to watch. He makes you | :11:55. | :11:57. | |
suffer when you're watching him sometimes! He is British, Scottish | :11:58. | :12:04. | |
but British as well and that is part of being British. You wouldn't want | :12:05. | :12:10. | |
it, would you, you must have some pain before you get the real | :12:11. | :12:15. | |
pleasure. Surprising that Mo Farah wasn't in the top three, to be | :12:16. | :12:19. | |
honest, with his double double. He just missed out. It was a huge win | :12:20. | :12:26. | |
for Murray but the rest of them were some way below. Nick Skelton. In | :12:27. | :12:33. | |
third. At 56, not a young man and that was incredible. It showed the | :12:34. | :12:40. | |
Olympics, Kate Richardson was quite high up. A sense that the Olympics | :12:41. | :12:45. | |
is an all-encompassing thing that people from nowhere can become | :12:46. | :12:50. | |
propelled into the front. And the Brownlees, that act of | :12:51. | :12:57. | |
self-sacrifice. Shows what matters. It was really warming, | :12:58. | :12:59. | |
heart-warming, this is what family is all about. Obviously the Brownlee | :13:00. | :13:06. | |
brothers have done tremendously well, both of them, but also they | :13:07. | :13:12. | |
asked by the less... Mo Farah has had Jimenez glory. Maybe a sense | :13:13. | :13:20. | |
that Nick Skelton and the Brownlees is in keeping -- tremendous victory. | :13:21. | :13:25. | |
Very quickly, do you have your Christmas jumpers? Are you wearing | :13:26. | :13:31. | |
them? He got one. No, I haven't! He said he had a really good one. The | :13:32. | :13:38. | |
front of the Daily Telegraph, asking what Colin Firth's Christmas jumper | :13:39. | :13:42. | |
did to land us a pub ban. What's the story? Pubs and restaurants, it | :13:43. | :13:48. | |
seems to be in Yorkshire, actually. There you go! Apparently saying | :13:49. | :13:55. | |
people who are wearing them are too boisterous, creating a nuisance and | :13:56. | :13:59. | |
so they are keeping them out. Sounds like my husband, he's from | :14:00. | :14:03. | |
Yorkshire. People are delicate, on the way here I was accosted. | :14:04. | :14:10. | |
Horrible, no, stop it! We need a tweet of both of you in your | :14:11. | :14:21. | |
jumpers. No! Fluffy, is it? LAUGHTER Is wonderful, thank you very much. | :14:22. | :14:23. | |
That's it for the papers for the moment. | :14:24. | :14:25. | |
We'll be back at 11.30 for Round Two. | :14:26. | :14:27. | |
for that, all the front pages are online on the BBC News website | :14:28. | :14:33. | |
where you can read a detailed review of the papers, | :14:34. | :14:35. | |
