02/11/2015 The Papers

Coming up in sports Day: Bad news for Jose Mourinho, is a -- Eva

Carniero is taking legal action. All that ahead. -- Sportsday.

Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers

With me are Dan Bilefsky of the New York Times and Tim Montogmerie,

Tomorrow's front pages, starting with the FT, which leads with

reports that senior European Central Bank officials held meetings with

senior figures from the financial service industry in the run-up to

making important policy decisions like setting interest rates.

It is technology at its best? That isn't working -- British technology.

Two papers looking at the same story. David Cameron backs down over

plans to bomb Syria. Number 10 are apparently denying on Twitter that

these stories are accurate. Perhaps we should leave that for tomorrow.

What we do know is that David Cameron has, for a long time, been

determined to revisit this issue of military intervention in Syria. He

lost that vote a couple of years ago in Parliament, we do now have a

majority conservative government and he could potentially get it through

the House of Commons. The number of Tory MPs who are very against a

military intervention have been saying for a little while, he

doesn't have the votes. These stories would appear to confirm

that, you doesn't want to put this to the vote in the House of Commons

unless he is sure he can win. He can't afford to lose twice. He is

being portrayed as a sort of Jeremy Corbyn associate among Conservative.

It is not splitting along party lines, people from all parties have

differing opinions I do if I had to list the issues which divide the

Conservative Party... -- opinions? If I had to. After the Iraq War and

Syria, the question of what role Britain plays in intervening in

other countries, that probably splits the Conservatives as well as

Labour. President Obama has sent advisers. Only advisers at this

stage? But, they are there. Not Brits on the ground, but giving

strategic advice. There is a perception in this country that

Britain is no longer a global player, this plays into that tripe.

Not that anyone would wish the issues of Syria on anyone. -- trope.

It is true that there is a lot of focus on Britain and its role at the

moment. The Syrian crisis, foreign aid, says the Daily Mail, the

damning truth. Money for refugees squandered by the UN? It sounds like

the million that written donated -- Britain has been squandered on

admin? I don't see much evidence in this story showing that the UN has

squandered this money. It is very hard to assess it, frankly. It seems

like a screaming headlines. -- headline. It says that a lot of the

cash is not accounted for, we don't know if it has been spent wisely.

The UN and lots of multinational organisations do have a bad

reputation of overseeing money. When you have won government, one set of

people, it is easier to keep track. When it becomes part of those more

remote bodies, such as the UN or the EU, you have trouble with

accounting. The Daily Mail has been spouting stories about migrants

invading this country, juxtaposed with positive stories such as Cecil

the line. Forgive me if I am sceptical. I agree, I think the

Daily Mail does have an agenda. It is often covering stories in a

negative fashion. I worry about the UN's accountability, we do have to

do something to help the people in Syria. The Daily Mail is reluctant

thrust to let them into our own countries, or we can try and have

them in these refugee camps. Saying we are not going to do anything, not

on Syria, not give aid to the camps, not let them come into Europe...

That is the epitome of selfishness. The Daily Mirror's headline, and

exclusive. It is very early to say about what has really gone on with

this plane that came down in the sin eye Peninsula. -- Sinai. They said

it was not a result of human error before they even discovered the

black box. It is possible that a bomb could have been snuck onto the

plane, at this point it is completely speculation. One has to

be very, very careful to make hypotheses. The claims that Islamic

State is responsible... They said they were, but we have not heard

much more about that. Is past history is to go by, these Hollywood

style videos of documenting their attacks, or we have here is a Green

image of an alleged missile being launched. One needs to be very

sceptical. So many vested interests when a plane crashes. The airline

operator, the plane company, the country in which it came down. The

other question, it is interesting hearing in the Egyptian news,

Egyptian authorities immediately said not to assume it is a bomb.

They are worried, as many developing countries are, that their security

will be seen as weak. The largest number of people who visit Egypt are

Russians. They help their tourism. I think there? -- the question at the

end of the Mirror's story reveals everything. My opening gambit is

never to trust in the opening headline. -- and opening. Changes to

the police forces, some of them will take a massive hit and don't feel

they will be able to properly police? Last week we were talking

about the tax credit, the big cut that the government tried to make

which caused all the trouble. We are at the beginning, only half of the

deficit has come and another half still have to be made. Police are

just one of the cuts. It is a potential stream of headaches for

the government. When you have made the cuts, you make the easy cuts

first. All the ones yet to be made are difficult. We know there are

cuts to be made to police, crime has still fallen. In New York, in 2011,

there were some famously significant cuts to the NYPD. At the same time,

the murder rate decreased. We are living at a we are seeing cuts

across the board. We saw the Weetabix chap who was in hiding, he

no longer has a police guard -- Wikileaks. The Times, the Times in

London. Not to be confused with any other kind of times. We need to have

an arm-wrestle. Family dogs reduce risk of asthma in children. I am

pleased to read it, but how is blue it is an amazing story, who doesn't

love a cuddly dog -- but how? It is an amazing story. It is

counterintuitive, you would expect having a dog would actually cause

asthma. This story shows that having a dog activates the immune system

against asthma. It is a good news story. It is a global story,

everyone can relate to it. You have the headline, are you filthy and of?

We need to stop washing our hands and we can have a dog in our home.

There is a story in the Telegraph talking about eating... Eating food

past its sell by date. It is so difficult to know, but good to know

you can have a dog in the house without worrying about the

cleanliness. It is bad for children not to be exposed to things that

don't allow them to build up a resistance. And this was explored in

Sweden, which makes you want to trust it. We mustn't succumb to

national stereotypes. The Sun, soft drink alert. Diet Coke heart risk,

two dei? It is not difficult to avoid drinking two a day, is it? 25%

in danger, soon there will be a story about how it to as

Alzheimer's. Die -- Diet Coke, surely there are other brands

available. I need to see a study. There is very little detail here at

as to the degree, what kind of trial took place to come to this

conclusion. It will resonate with a lot of people, because a lot of

people drink Diet Coke. Robert, the sceptic in my ear, points out that a

25% increase could just be a couple of people. It's something else that

you feel like you can't have, isn't it? Everything in moderation is what

my mother taught me, which I think is true. The problem is, there is a

lot of talk about sugar and soft drink. People think, if they have

the diet version, they are not having the calories. Now there is

something else wrong. Line you can actually gain weight, it affects

your insulin levels. Every day there is a different study coming out,

contradicting information. --. You can actually gain weight. This is

going to put some people off. The Telegraph, a picture of Margaret

Thatcher on the front page. Turning down the Thatcher collection,

clothes, jewellery and other items offered at turned down. They are

going to be put up for sale. One of the Twitter users is they made the

right decision, she said she was not stylish or iconic. Only men would

think otherwise. Who is that? Ideology or gender aside, Margaret

thatcher was an icon. It is debatable whether she was a fashion

icon, but whether you like didn't like her she was an icon particular

like her she was an iconparticular particular. Towards the end of her

time in office, she wore a lot of the great British fashion brands. Do

all politicians deserve an exhibition? I think it is a

juxtaposition to go from Alexander McQueen to Margaret Thatcher, I

think people would be interested. It was the woman who put prices on the

map, wasn't she? She did. What goes inside the handbag, you might call

it a pocketbook. -- she was. Would you go to see it? Of course. When it

goes to auction, we will put you down for a headscarf and a string of

pearls. That is it for the paper review. I hope you come back. Coming

up next, it's time for Sportsday. Coming up:
