:00:00. > :00:00.the Ashes as Australia prepare to chase the five wickets they need to
:00:00. > :00:17.reclaim the urn for England. That's in 15 minutes.
:00:18. > :00:24.Hello and welcome to our look ahead at what the papers will be bringing
:00:25. > :00:28.us tomorrow. With me tonight are the broadcaster David Davies and the
:00:29. > :00:34.freelance journalist Samira Shackle. Tomorrow's front pages: The
:00:35. > :00:39.Telegraph says that Britons born in the 1950s and 1960s will be the
:00:40. > :00:42.first generation be poorer than their parents. It's picture is of
:00:43. > :00:48.the Prime Minister in Afghanistan. The Independent leads on the UN's
:00:49. > :00:53.appeal for Syria. The express says Britain will be hit
:00:54. > :00:56.by powerful storms over Christmas. The Guardian leads on the court
:00:57. > :00:59.judgement in America which ruled the mass collection of phone records by
:01:00. > :01:04.federal authorities is likely to be unconstitutional. Their front page
:01:05. > :01:09.shows Barack Obama with his family at an event in Washington.
:01:10. > :01:11.The male leads on the prediction that those entering middle age will
:01:12. > :01:14.struggle to match the wealth of their parents.
:01:15. > :01:18.The Mirror claims a member of the House of Lords is claiming hundreds
:01:19. > :01:25.of pounds for just a few minutes is' work. The Times says that
:01:26. > :01:31.vitamin pills are useless. The FT talks about plans for London airport
:01:32. > :01:36.expansion. Let's talk about the front page of
:01:37. > :01:40.the Telegraph. First of all, the photograph, which is of David
:01:41. > :01:45.Cameron with the troops, declaring it is mission accomplished in
:01:46. > :01:50.Afghanistan. Samira Shackle, what do you make of that particular comment?
:01:51. > :01:56.It strikes me as slightly bonkers to use that phrasing, given that that
:01:57. > :02:02.is almost the exact wording that George Bush used notoriously in Iraq
:02:03. > :02:06.after about a month and a half, and then couldn't really back down from
:02:07. > :02:13.its June the ensuing bloodshed over several years. I feel like Cameron
:02:14. > :02:18.is handing his opponents a gift for them to use from now on one of
:02:19. > :02:23.anything happens. The question was posed - is it mission accomplished,
:02:24. > :02:28.Prime Minister? He said yes, in a manner of speaking. He said it will
:02:29. > :02:36.be accomplished. I don't know if they've got some crystal balls in
:02:37. > :02:40.Number ten these days but you do wonder. It is a bit of a hostage to
:02:41. > :02:46.fortune because there is another 12 months or so to go and as history
:02:47. > :02:53.tells us, you only have to have a rudimentary knowledge of Afghanistan
:02:54. > :02:57.- and you'll have a great knowledge - and it seems to me that you really
:02:58. > :03:02.are a hostage to fortune because anything can happen. I thought it
:03:03. > :03:07.was interesting that Cameron was trying to cover himself for that,
:03:08. > :03:12.referencing the long troubled history and saying they weren't
:03:13. > :03:16.leaving a perfect democracy. I think that is a wild understatement, to
:03:17. > :03:21.say it's not going to be perfect. They've already got the threat of
:03:22. > :03:28.insurgency threatening the elections in April and I think, also, perhaps
:03:29. > :03:31.he didn't use the mission accomplished phrase himself at the
:03:32. > :03:40.messages that we've done what we went there to do. It begs the
:03:41. > :03:43.question of what the aim was because there are many different names that
:03:44. > :03:47.have mutated over time and I'm not sure any of them have really been
:03:48. > :03:51.achieved. That's another point - the idea of what the mission was. It
:03:52. > :03:55.started out as one thing but may have varied over the period. I was
:03:56. > :04:01.thinking that, seeing Michael Owen therewith David Cameron today. But
:04:02. > :04:12.all as a power for good and giving some pleasure. -- football as a
:04:13. > :04:15.power good. I had the privilege of going to Afghanistan eight week is
:04:16. > :04:22.after the Taliban were thrown out, again to reclaim the Olympic Stadium
:04:23. > :04:28.in Kabul for sport after the Taliban committed some horrendous atrocities
:04:29. > :04:34.which was still very visible, in particular the dressing rooms of
:04:35. > :04:40.that stadium. I do think here that you just hope that the wider aims -
:04:41. > :04:47.for example, to fight all the battles around opium... And I was
:04:48. > :04:57.hearing on your own report here on the BBC News Channel that this opium
:04:58. > :05:02.harvest this year is as good and as extensive as it's been four years.
:05:03. > :05:05.Let's move on to the other story on the Telegraph, which is Boris's
:05:06. > :05:11.vision of an island airport being sunk. This is a reference to what
:05:12. > :05:15.Boris Johnson would like to see happen with regards to airport
:05:16. > :05:17.expansion in the south-east of England but the suggestion is that
:05:18. > :05:24.it's not going to happen. Yes, that's what it seems. I think it's
:05:25. > :05:30.quite funny how every thing Boris does has the word Boris in front of
:05:31. > :05:35.it - Boris Island. What's next? Boris pavements? We've got
:05:36. > :05:41.politicians across the board changing their tune on this. A third
:05:42. > :05:49.runway at Heathrow. There was a report due tomorrow that the story
:05:50. > :05:55.focuses on, that sort of seems to be the leaders of all the main parties
:05:56. > :06:00.moving towards saying that actually maybe a third runway would be fine
:06:01. > :06:04.after all. It crosses my mind that somebody is going to have to make a
:06:05. > :06:13.decision about this. Someone as eminent as Sir Howard Davies - he
:06:14. > :06:17.will recommend something and, knowing him a little bit, he will
:06:18. > :06:20.have covered off most angles, which hasn't always been true in a number
:06:21. > :06:26.of reports in recent times, one might say. Here we've got something
:06:27. > :06:31.where it is a real dilemma for the Conservative Party particularly,
:06:32. > :06:36.with constituencies around, marginal constituencies, around Heathrow. You
:06:37. > :06:43.talk about Boris - I think his luck is running out a bit and I think the
:06:44. > :06:47.Tory party is facing up to... David Cameron appears to me to be at last
:06:48. > :06:52.prepared to stand up to Boris and, indeed, his popularity. We'll see.
:06:53. > :06:58.An interesting observation before we move on. Let's take another front
:06:59. > :07:03.page. This is the Independent. David, the biggest emergency in the
:07:04. > :07:07.UN's history. This is a reference to the story we've been featuring
:07:08. > :07:11.heavily today about the United Nations appeal for Syria and quite a
:07:12. > :07:18.heart-rending photograph. The horrendous reality of Syria today,
:07:19. > :07:23.in this season of goodwill, is being widely reported - as it has been by
:07:24. > :07:27.you today, as it is by a number of the papers tomorrow. It interesting
:07:28. > :07:32.that he is David Miliband, a former Foreign Secretary, saying that this
:07:33. > :07:36.is the biggest humanitarian test of the century, a test of the
:07:37. > :07:42.international community which it is failing. I was surprised to see all
:07:43. > :07:46.that snow around refugee camps and I've seen particularly what is going
:07:47. > :07:51.on in Jordan. You have a country like Jordan, which has... People say
:07:52. > :07:56.we have a reputation for taking refugees. Jordan, in the Middle
:07:57. > :08:03.East, has an even bigger reputation for taking refugees and they are
:08:04. > :08:08.being engulfed by this problem. They are, apparently, very unclear how to
:08:09. > :08:12.deal with it. Some of the figures are shocking. Three quarters of
:08:13. > :08:16.Syria's population of 22 million will need aid to survive next year.
:08:17. > :08:22.It's really quite astonishing, the figures involved. Something like a
:08:23. > :08:26.10th of the population has fled already and half the population is
:08:27. > :08:33.homeless or displaced in some way. I think it's good that this kind of
:08:34. > :08:36.appeal is getting wide coverage and you can only hope these sort of
:08:37. > :08:41.targets will be met. I think also, though, that it's quite important to
:08:42. > :08:47.remember it's not just about the money being raised. It's also a
:08:48. > :08:50.question of access. I've spoken to people working for numerous aid
:08:51. > :08:55.agencies in Syria and there's a huge frustration that they might be just
:08:56. > :08:58.half an hour away from a besieged area where people are starving and
:08:59. > :09:01.having to subsist on grass, and they've got food supplies and just
:09:02. > :09:05.can't get through because it's too dangerous and they're not being
:09:06. > :09:10.granted access by the government or rebels holding the area. Can you
:09:11. > :09:15.believe, on top of everything else, they have a polio epidemic as well?
:09:16. > :09:23.The weather particularly bad, far worse than normal. The Daily Mail.
:09:24. > :09:32.Poorer than your parents, dwindling property prices, if you work born in
:09:33. > :09:38.the 1960s or 70s, you will retire poorer than your parents. We have
:09:39. > :09:41.heard increasing hints of this. The idea that one generation will always
:09:42. > :09:46.be better off than the next, that has come to an end. It is quite
:09:47. > :09:51.interesting. The mention of inheritance is interesting in the
:09:52. > :09:57.report. The disclaimer that you might be better off than the last
:09:58. > :10:01.generation if you have been left a big inheritance, which is kind of
:10:02. > :10:06.saying that inequality is getting more entrenched. If you do not have
:10:07. > :10:09.money left to you, then you will be worse off. I wonder what it means
:10:10. > :10:16.for my generation, the one below that. It does not bode well. Another
:10:17. > :10:23.of those stories guaranteed to wind up the generation of my children,
:10:24. > :10:33.while making us people, as older people, guilty. A very good front
:10:34. > :10:37.page lead. Yes, we are guilty. Right? I have a guilty conscience
:10:38. > :10:44.about having enjoyed a life, perhaps. That is what I think when I
:10:45. > :10:49.read this stuff. Then your generation, with meagre savings,
:10:50. > :10:54.your only hope of a comfortable retirement is a large inheritance.
:10:55. > :11:09.From? I thought. This is the situation that we are in. -- from us
:11:10. > :11:13.a lot. There are areas of our public life when our system has failed us.
:11:14. > :11:19.Successive governments have failed and this is where we end up. The
:11:20. > :11:38.Guardian front page. Judge condones NSA for data wall. -- condemns NSA
:11:39. > :11:41.for data haul. The idea that what the NSA have done is
:11:42. > :11:49.unconstitutional. That is strong language. Arbitrary, Orwellian. It
:11:50. > :11:53.is increasingly hard to justify the NSA programme, I think. What jumped
:11:54. > :11:57.out for me, the judge said there is not one example of this actually
:11:58. > :12:06.helping to stop an imminent terrorist attack. That hit where it
:12:07. > :12:10.hurts. It is not taking the civilian liberties argument. It is saying
:12:11. > :12:18.that it does not even work, putting that to one side. Where is Mr
:12:19. > :12:24.Snowdon? Hiding. You wonder how long he will go on hiding. He is chasing
:12:25. > :12:31.a summer Bin Laden for the length of time he has been holed up and you
:12:32. > :12:37.start to wonder. -- Osama Bin Laden. Not a good day to justify the mass
:12:38. > :12:43.collection of individual phone records. Let's finish with the
:12:44. > :12:50.Guardian because of the attractive photograph on the front. The first
:12:51. > :13:00.family joins the fun with a National Health Service. We thought it was
:13:01. > :13:04.something to do with Obama's Christmas card. But they are at the
:13:05. > :13:11.children's national medical centre in Washington. It looks as though
:13:12. > :13:16.the good news for President Obama is that Michelle has finally forgiven
:13:17. > :13:18.him for the selfie in Johannesburg last week because she looks rather
:13:19. > :13:25.pleased with him and he looks very jolly. It is a terrific family
:13:26. > :13:28.picture. I love the antics of the children in the front. The one on
:13:29. > :13:32.the left is looking in the wrong direction and the one on the right
:13:33. > :13:38.is pulling a face. Good job. Thank you both very much indeed. You will
:13:39. > :13:45.both be back at 11:30pm for another look at the stories making the news
:13:46. > :13:48.tomorrow. Stay with us because at 11 o'clock, David Cameron says the
:13:49. > :13:52.troops can come home next year knowing their mission has been
:13:53. > :14:03.accomplished. Coming up next, time for Sportsday.
:14:04. > :14:10.Hello and welcome to Sportsday. I'm Katie Gornall. Coming up: A 5-0
:14:11. > :14:12.defeat signals the end for Andre Villas-Boas as Tottenham sack their
