:00:10. > :00:16.Rabbitohs. Hello and welcome to
:00:17. > :00:26.our look ahead to what the papers We are joined by the City Hall
:00:27. > :00:28.editor at the Standard and John Statham.
:00:29. > :00:31.Tomorrow's front pages, starting with: The FT suggests the Bank
:00:32. > :00:34.of England is considering making it harder for lenders to extend credit,
:00:35. > :00:38.The story of a driver who has been jailed after he filmed him
:00:39. > :00:41.self driving at 192 miles per hour is on the Metro's front page.
:00:42. > :00:44.British spies uncover Isil plot, says the Daily Telegraph,
:00:45. > :00:45.suggesting British intelligence intercepted messages showing that
:00:46. > :01:05.Isil extremists had plotted a terror attack in Egypt.
:01:06. > :01:09.The Sun says you can pay 15 quid to get through the security at
:01:10. > :01:14.Good news on the front page of the Mirror, with the story of the baby
:01:15. > :01:17.girl who has been cured of leukaemia with pioneering gene therapy.
:01:18. > :01:19.the Guardian also leads with that picture of Layla Richards,
:01:20. > :01:22.who is now cancer-free, after being given months to live.
:01:23. > :01:23.The crisis in Sharm el-Sheikh features on
:01:24. > :01:26.the Independent's front page, which claims Britain is becoming embroiled
:01:27. > :01:30.And, finally, the Times claims there is evidence that an Islamic State
:01:31. > :01:35.bomb was smuggled on to the Russian jet in a piece of luggage.
:01:36. > :01:41.So a lot of speculation still. We still don't know what happened. But
:01:42. > :01:48.The Times Is among the few papers which has been digging. In their
:01:49. > :01:55.headline is spies think Isis blew up a plane with a bomb in a bag. That
:01:56. > :01:58.is why the Brits stranded in Sharm el-Sheikh are still being told that
:01:59. > :02:02.when they fly home they can only do it with hand luggage and they hold
:02:03. > :02:05.luggage will have to stay on and be checked out and brought out
:02:06. > :02:10.separately within a week, they say. Let's see about that. Britain has
:02:11. > :02:14.apparently requested all sorts of extra security at the airport. I can
:02:15. > :02:19.only imagine that the Egyptian authorities are going to agree to
:02:20. > :02:23.all of it, even though they may be doing it all already. Extra checks
:02:24. > :02:26.on background checks on Egyptian baggage handlers is one of the
:02:27. > :02:30.things that has been asked for, according to the Times. Extra checks
:02:31. > :02:35.on passengers and their hand luggage. And things like the holds
:02:36. > :02:38.of the planes being checked, vehicles which drive in and out of
:02:39. > :02:45.the airport. There are all sorts of options for people trying to get
:02:46. > :02:52.in, close to the planes. And they are all being looked at now, trying
:02:53. > :02:56.to ascertain what is going on. As you would expect, as we had at
:02:57. > :03:02.Heathrow, similar action on planes leaving Heathrow many years ago.
:03:03. > :03:10.Those cheques can't come soon enough. The front page of the Sun.
:03:11. > :03:16.I'll tell you what, you can carry on. Not trying to take over from
:03:17. > :03:21.you. Just a natural link. Some stories claim you can pay a ?15 fee
:03:22. > :03:25.to skip the cue altogether, and they allege that that enabled one guy to
:03:26. > :03:29.walk through with a razor blade and somebody else spotted someone
:03:30. > :03:41.supposed to be manning a security machine playing can be -- Candy
:03:42. > :03:45.Crush on his mobile phone. People are supposed to be looking at and
:03:46. > :03:51.attending those machines, eating and smoking. And letting staff through
:03:52. > :03:54.airports, airport staff through, without any checks at all. It does
:03:55. > :04:05.sound of the story is to be believed as though this story was -- that
:04:06. > :04:08.security was very lax. And the Egyptian President said in London
:04:09. > :04:16.they had looked at it and found nothing MS. Obviously... We assume
:04:17. > :04:22.something was amiss. -- amiss. There was indeed a bomb on board this
:04:23. > :04:25.plane in a bag. I don't know about you, you have travelled through a
:04:26. > :04:30.few dodgy countries and war zones where security is always incredibly
:04:31. > :04:34.tight, and remained so for years and years and years. Tel Aviv, if
:04:35. > :04:38.anybody has ever visited Israel they will have experienced the tight
:04:39. > :04:42.security there and it has been like that for decades. Do you think we
:04:43. > :04:45.are perhaps getting to a point where we have to have that persistent,
:04:46. > :04:52.tight security, not just surges of it when there is an event? I get
:04:53. > :04:56.irritated by it at Heathrow, I must confess. Take your shoes off, take
:04:57. > :05:01.your belt off, it varies from airport to airport. I think in this
:05:02. > :05:04.country at least it is very effective. It certainly has been in
:05:05. > :05:07.the main so far. I think the question this raises is what is it
:05:08. > :05:12.like at these sort of resort airports where this evidence would
:05:13. > :05:17.suggest that at Sharm el-Sheikh and maybe one or two others around the
:05:18. > :05:24.world, a similar picture would emerge. The Independent makes this
:05:25. > :05:29.point that this demonstrates that if it was indeed a bomb, as seems to be
:05:30. > :05:34.the case, it suggests there has been a dramatic shift in Islamic State's
:05:35. > :05:37.strategy, having gone from being an organisation predominately fighting
:05:38. > :05:41.on the ground in conflict zones in the Middle East to being one which
:05:42. > :05:46.is considering the option or already has considered the option of softer
:05:47. > :05:50.targets, tourists, western targets, people going on holiday. It is the
:05:51. > :05:54.classic soft target, incredibly difficult for security services to
:05:55. > :05:56.do anything about. It is these resort airports rather than the
:05:57. > :06:02.capital cities and European cities which will be vulnerable, and which
:06:03. > :06:05.presumably the British government will want, around the world, not
:06:06. > :06:08.just in the Middle East, but will want foreign governments to do
:06:09. > :06:12.something about stepping up security. As experts have been
:06:13. > :06:16.saying on the BBC is what you have to remember is we are not
:06:17. > :06:20.necessarily talking about an Islamic State sell. There are many extremist
:06:21. > :06:25.groups around the world that support Islamic State. Franchise operations
:06:26. > :06:30.as well. The other thing this raises, The Independent Raises the
:06:31. > :06:33.diplomatic row which has resulted as a consequence, Mr Cameron talking to
:06:34. > :06:38.Mr Putin on the phone today. Putin apparently angry that Cameron made
:06:39. > :06:42.this assessment of the situation, he put it more strongly than that,
:06:43. > :06:45.before the situation will make investigation of what eventually
:06:46. > :06:48.happened. The Egyptians very angry still because they believed that he
:06:49. > :06:52.was premature to say this. And clearly harmful, desperately
:06:53. > :06:56.harmful, to their tourist industry. It is very damaging for Putin if it
:06:57. > :07:03.is found to be a bomb because it was only very recently that he committed
:07:04. > :07:07.Russian forces to combat operations against ISIS in Syria. Many will be
:07:08. > :07:12.thinking was that such a good idea if we have ended up being attacked?
:07:13. > :07:15.What tends to protect us more than anything is intelligence, and if we
:07:16. > :07:20.go to the Guardian we hear from Nick Clegg that most investors were not
:07:21. > :07:24.told of the mass surveillance of British nationals. Interesting
:07:25. > :07:29.story, this. Nick Clegg claiming in the Guardian that he only found out
:07:30. > :07:33.when he became Deputy Prime Minister, and that as you say most
:07:34. > :07:38.senior ministers had no idea that this was happening. But it had in
:07:39. > :07:41.fact been happening since 2005. I think most people when it was
:07:42. > :07:44.revealed this week that it had been happening were surprised as well.
:07:45. > :07:47.Personally I don't have a problem with it but I can understand the
:07:48. > :07:51.civil libertarian argument against it. At the Discover actually that
:07:52. > :07:56.senior figures in Cabinet didn't know about this is quite
:07:57. > :08:01.surprising. -- but to discover. Maybe we are reassured by that
:08:02. > :08:04.because it was kept secret. Maybe we were all naive and should have
:08:05. > :08:08.realised it was happening. One would imagine that the security services
:08:09. > :08:13.will be arguing for... Will be saying that events like this plane
:08:14. > :08:20.crash from Egypt actually demonstrate the case for increased
:08:21. > :08:22.surveillance power, when you consider that the British
:08:23. > :08:25.intelligence and some American intelligence as well has gone back
:08:26. > :08:29.retrospectively to the few days before the incident and found
:08:30. > :08:34.chatter online emanating from that part of the world which indicated
:08:35. > :08:39.that something was coming up. But they only found out after the event.
:08:40. > :08:44.And that is from access the phone, in the UK, phone, e-mail and text.
:08:45. > :08:51.If they were able to expand that to social media in the UK would they be
:08:52. > :08:53.able to do more? There is always the argument that if you are not a
:08:54. > :08:58.terrorist you have nothing to worry about. It is a fine argument that if
:08:59. > :09:02.you impose restrictions on some people, they will be imposed on you
:09:03. > :09:06.and do you want to live in that sort of society? And as we know that
:09:07. > :09:11.journalists can get involved in that it is they are speaking to people
:09:12. > :09:14.that security services want to know more about. And where then do you
:09:15. > :09:19.get independent journalism? Let's move on to the Daily Mail. They
:09:20. > :09:24.focus on two very different stories today. Let's go to the first one.
:09:25. > :09:30.Fury over speed camera racket. I know you have a lot to say about
:09:31. > :09:37.this. I have been done for speeding, I'm sure you have. Absolutely not.
:09:38. > :09:45.Pure as the driven snow. But tens of millions of pounds by blackmailing
:09:46. > :09:50.motorists to attend speed awareness classes. They have pocketed a large
:09:51. > :09:54.amount of money by sending millions of drivers into these one-day
:09:55. > :09:58.sessions. It makes the argument that police have no interest in stopping
:09:59. > :10:01.people speeding because they don't keep the money from speeding fines
:10:02. > :10:06.but they do keep the money from these courses they send... Or you
:10:07. > :10:08.volunteer to go in. And the accusation is they are persuading
:10:09. > :10:11.people to go on these courses not because it will do them any good
:10:12. > :10:15.necessarily but because it will actually mean more revenue for the
:10:16. > :10:18.police forces. And the police forces would argue they desperately needed
:10:19. > :10:22.because this government is cutting back on our servers right left and
:10:23. > :10:27.centre. Is that not dedicated on the assumption that these touchy-feely
:10:28. > :10:32.courses as described are actually less of a deterrent for drivers
:10:33. > :10:37.speeding van fines might be? I mean, I know people that have gone on them
:10:38. > :10:42.and they have actually learnt a lot, and they are quite shocked. I had
:10:43. > :10:45.never been more boarded my life. They go on for a long time but they
:10:46. > :10:50.tell you how much the difference of a few mph can make as a matter of
:10:51. > :10:54.life and death. People don't realise, they say I was done for
:10:55. > :10:57.doing 35 and 30, it is the difference between life and death.
:10:58. > :11:03.So many people say this about these courses. I have also heard. As John
:11:04. > :11:07.says it is all set against the wider background of police cuts. We have
:11:08. > :11:14.the cognitive Spending Review later in the month. Some forces, like The
:11:15. > :11:18.Met, is expecting cuts over the next four years, a massive chunk of their
:11:19. > :11:25.Budget -- comprehensive Spending Review. What sorts of crimes will
:11:26. > :11:30.the police investigate, if you are mugged or burgled? People will
:11:31. > :11:35.really basically... They are saying 25% cuts already and the prospect of
:11:36. > :11:40.further. It is staggering. Also on the front of the Daily Mail is a
:11:41. > :11:43.picture of a blazing police card New Scotland Yard tonight. A rather
:11:44. > :11:49.large protest in central London and other cities around the world. Quite
:11:50. > :11:53.close to home. Surrounded riot police at the BBC. There was the
:11:54. > :12:00.prospect of protest is coming -- surrounded by police. So he donned
:12:01. > :12:07.his Guy Fawkes mask before coming here. It is the Anonymous group on
:12:08. > :12:13.November the fifth, celebrating Guy Fawkes's attempt to blow up
:12:14. > :12:19.Parliament. They call it the Million Mask March. We respect anyone's
:12:20. > :12:24.right to protest peacefully but according to the police some of
:12:25. > :12:26.these people was the last thing on the mind of mind of some of the
:12:27. > :12:30.people, they say, involved in this March. They are apparently telling
:12:31. > :12:35.their followers police are not your friend. We see picture evidence
:12:36. > :12:38.there are some of the problems they have caused. I don't know how
:12:39. > :12:42.widespread it was but obviously a huge operation for the police
:12:43. > :12:48.tonight. We have heard there have been some arrests for public order
:12:49. > :12:52.offences as well. Now let's move on to the Daily Express. This is what a
:12:53. > :12:58.lot of people will be talking about tomorrow. What does no rise in
:12:59. > :13:04.interest rates mean for me as a homeowner and me as a saver? And it
:13:05. > :13:10.is not what we were expecting, is it? The Express has a slightly older
:13:11. > :13:14.order your Mac audience, a readership who might be -- slightly
:13:15. > :13:22.older audience, a readership who might be planning their retirement.
:13:23. > :13:26.So they are not going to get any interest on their savings,
:13:27. > :13:30.basically. And haven't done for a very long time. Whereas people with
:13:31. > :13:33.mortgages, obviously it is good news because it looks as though we are
:13:34. > :13:38.going to have another couple of years, we are looking at spring 2017
:13:39. > :13:44.was the suggestion, that interest rates rise above the 0.5% rate they
:13:45. > :13:47.are currently at. So yes, it will be a very long time before that
:13:48. > :13:52.actually happens which means that mortgage payments will still stay
:13:53. > :13:55.low. But the suggestion from Mark Carney today, the Bank of England
:13:56. > :13:59.governor, is that there would be some restrictions on lending,
:14:00. > :14:04.multiples of it income looked at carefully -- multiples of income
:14:05. > :14:07.looked at. It is still quite difficult to get a mortgage,
:14:08. > :14:13.certainly more difficult than it used to be? Is the review, how much
:14:14. > :14:19.you spend at the gym, how much you spend on pizza... That is a good
:14:20. > :14:23.thing, isn't it? Into that sort of detail? The problem the last time
:14:24. > :14:27.around was they were giving out money like there was no tomorrow. It
:14:28. > :14:32.depends where you live, in south-east London or Edinburgh,
:14:33. > :14:36.properties are very expensive and if you are on an average income than
:14:37. > :14:40.the only way to move up the property ladder is to borrow. If you feel you
:14:41. > :14:45.are able to afford those outgoings, and I appreciate there has to be a
:14:46. > :14:52.margin for error for mortgage companies, but if you are unable to
:14:53. > :14:56.afford it, you won't be able to. Shall we give ourselves something to
:14:57. > :15:12.smile about? Let's have a look at the Al alpaca on the Times. He was
:15:13. > :15:17.photo bombed. The scoops me all the time with this background
:15:18. > :15:22.information. This is one of two employed or taken on via Turkey
:15:23. > :15:35.farmer ahead of Christmas because the fox has come out and grab hold
:15:36. > :15:42.of your Christmas dinner -- by a turkey. It will drive the foxes away
:15:43. > :15:49.and sort them out. This farmer is Colombian, which is why the knows
:15:50. > :15:57.all this -- why he knows all this. So far it seems to be very
:15:58. > :16:02.successful. They really like llamas as well. Thank you to our
:16:03. > :16:09.correspondence. Thank you to you as well. Great to see you both and
:16:10. > :16:15.thanks for tuning in as well, Sportsday is next.
