Belgium next week, who has been denied the chance to represent his

:00:00.:00:00.

adopted country. Hello and welcome to

:00:00.:00:20.

our look ahead to what the papers With me are Tom Bergin,

:00:21.:00:23.

Business correspondent at Reuters and Journalist Lucy Cavendish,

:00:24.:00:27.

who writes for the Times. Images

:00:28.:00:29.

from the England versus France friendly at Wembley is the choice

:00:30.:00:34.

of many of the front pages, the The Telegraph chooses another image

:00:35.:00:37.

from that match and mentions the security fears that caused the

:00:38.:00:42.

evacuation of the Hannover stadium. Another picture from Wembley

:00:43.:00:47.

on the front of the i but the main story is about David Cameron's

:00:48.:00:50.

decision to press for another vote The Financial Times looks at

:00:51.:00:53.

Russian President Vladimir Putin's instruction to his naval commanders

:00:54.:00:59.

off the coast of Syria to establish contact with French forces

:01:00.:01:03.

and "work with them like allies". But its main story focuses

:01:04.:01:12.

on Barclays and allegations it The Guardian looks at the airstrikes

:01:13.:01:27.

against Islamic State, saying the Paris attacks have spurred

:01:28.:01:29.

international efforts to crush the organisation. The Mirror says

:01:30.:01:35.

freedom is the winner after tonight's football match in London.

:01:36.:01:39.

The Daily Mail features a picture of a police officer at Wembley, whom it

:01:40.:01:44.

likens to the film character RoboCop. And, The Times says

:01:45.:01:50.

international airstrikes against Islamic State mark the closest

:01:51.:01:55.

relationship between Russia and the West for more than a decade.

:01:56.:02:00.

Let's begin with The Times. Like so many papers it has a picture from

:02:01.:02:07.

Wembley, but the headline, united against terror. Who exactly is

:02:08.:02:12.

united? They are using the picture obviously to show the fact that the

:02:13.:02:17.

football match has brought people together, and the French national

:02:18.:02:21.

anthem has been sung. It was a moving experience for everyone, and

:02:22.:02:23.

I think it has pulled people together. But more than that, what

:02:24.:02:28.

they are saying is that Putin is now coming on board because of what

:02:29.:02:31.

happened with the bomb on the aeroplane, and that actually they

:02:32.:02:36.

will join in with Europe against Islamic State, and whatever that

:02:37.:02:41.

means, which obviously will become a bit more clear when David Cameron

:02:42.:02:46.

presented to the Commons and they decide whether they will say yes or

:02:47.:02:52.

no to airstrikes Syria. It is all happening very quickly, it is all

:02:53.:02:56.

quite complicated and it feels quite panicky, really, I think. There are

:02:57.:03:02.

people on the run from Paris, there are cells in Belgium, and there is a

:03:03.:03:10.

feeling of shock, I think. It is very interesting, Tom, and we will

:03:11.:03:13.

see that over the course of looking through the papers, but all the

:03:14.:03:22.

papers essentially have the same story, and the tone is to some

:03:23.:03:25.

extent reflected in the headline somewhat up it. Yes, and the Sun is

:03:26.:03:37.

upbeat as well, saying that the match going on shows that terrorists

:03:38.:03:45.

will not win. Making those comments, we are hostages to

:03:46.:03:50.

fortune. Actually, does that mean that terrorists win because the

:03:51.:03:57.

match was called off in Germany? We can't use the usual cliches we

:03:58.:04:04.

sometimes use around these things. It is a situation now where there is

:04:05.:04:07.

a heightened state, if the package is found people will panic. Will

:04:08.:04:12.

that change and fade as time goes on, it is impossible to know? It is

:04:13.:04:17.

interesting the Sun has dedicated front and back pages to this story.

:04:18.:04:23.

I think they have got it right, you can really get the feeling of it,

:04:24.:04:31.

David Cameron and Prince William were both there, so it was quite

:04:32.:04:40.

risky. It is an ageing image -- in amazing image. Here we have this

:04:41.:04:48.

picture of the female RoboCop, I think this is someone who made an

:04:49.:04:51.

appearance at Wembley this evening. This is quite incredible, I was so

:04:52.:04:57.

shocked. She does look like a robot, and she has gloves on and armour,

:04:58.:05:06.

and she seems to have a lot of guns and you can barely see who she is.

:05:07.:05:11.

On the one hand you think, I will feel very safe if I'm standing next

:05:12.:05:15.

to her, but on the other hand I thought, being a female, I wonder

:05:16.:05:20.

how long it took to get all that on. Just the practicalities of it,

:05:21.:05:32.

that must have taken sometime! I'm sure men are also wearing it, it is

:05:33.:05:36.

not just women, but the idea is that she looks very tough and

:05:37.:05:45.

invincible. Tom, according to the Mail she is part of a 130 strong

:05:46.:05:51.

Scotland Yard squad, which arrived in huge armoured vehicles to throw a

:05:52.:05:57.

ring of steel around fans. This was appeared to be necessary, and that

:05:58.:06:02.

is a sign of the world we're living in. Obviously the UK has a police

:06:03.:06:09.

force that doesn't use guns. Not any more we don't. It also means there

:06:10.:06:16.

is a huge cost, and the kind of measures that happened tonight, can

:06:17.:06:23.

this be a regular occurrence? There is a certain percentage of GDP we

:06:24.:06:26.

spend on security, quite a small one. There are plenty of countries

:06:27.:06:31.

where they spent 20 or 30% of their funds on such things. There is a

:06:32.:06:38.

real cost to changing where we live our life and living a life in the

:06:39.:06:42.

way we did tonight. Obviously this is a particular thing that happened

:06:43.:06:48.

tonight, this can't happen that every single event that ever

:06:49.:06:52.

happens, it is impossible. Obviously the PM and the heir to the throne

:06:53.:06:56.

were there, and you don't want anything happening. It is a sort of

:06:57.:07:06.

act of defiance in a way. I was mentioning at the beginning

:07:07.:07:13.

the contrast with The Times, this headline, continent on the edge as

:07:14.:07:16.

fear takes its grip. What did you make of this? This is quite an

:07:17.:07:20.

extreme one, obviously people are anxious. In terms of the total

:07:21.:07:28.

significance of the people and whether they should... The fact that

:07:29.:07:36.

there are couple of going around inspiring this level of panic around

:07:37.:07:40.

Europe, I'm not sure about that. Even if you catch these people, the

:07:41.:07:43.

infrastructure involved in this kind of attack is not so enormous that it

:07:44.:07:47.

can't be replicated relatively easily. That is probably the most

:07:48.:07:53.

fearful issue. A lot of people disagree about that. Security

:07:54.:08:00.

officials say it is extremely difficult to organise an attack like

:08:01.:08:03.

this, and it is unlikely to happen again quickly. I suppose you have a

:08:04.:08:09.

bomb attack on a plane and this attack in relatively short periods

:08:10.:08:18.

of time. The cancellation of the match in Hanover looks fearful from

:08:19.:08:26.

the outside. Once it starts, this fear that we are all a target it is

:08:27.:08:30.

very difficult to know how that will change and how people will feel

:08:31.:08:35.

safe. Moving on to the Guardian, and Tom you mentioned the reference to

:08:36.:08:42.

the Hunt possibly now in France or Belgium or across Europe for a

:08:43.:08:47.

second suspect. Tell us a bit about how they have approached the story.

:08:48.:08:54.

Obviously this is the issue about finding those responsible, that is a

:08:55.:08:59.

key part of the story. Many of the attackers died in the attack so

:09:00.:09:02.

there are relatively few people. It will be interesting if they can find

:09:03.:09:08.

these people to get more information about the infrastructure and

:09:09.:09:14.

architecture behind this attack. The hunt is on, there are concerns that

:09:15.:09:18.

may be one of the individuals may have gone back to Syria, so it is a

:09:19.:09:24.

highly uncertain situation. Interesting Lucy is the reminder

:09:25.:09:26.

here that one of the French football players, his cousin died in the

:09:27.:09:33.

Paris terror attack. It is very sad, and he says we must unite against an

:09:34.:09:40.

enemy that has no religion. On to the Financial Times, but they have

:09:41.:09:48.

made this their central focus. Vladimir Putin saying that France is

:09:49.:09:54.

an ally. I can see the point behind that because they have both been

:09:55.:09:58.

attacked, obviously in very different ways, but in terms of what

:09:59.:10:03.

is happening in Syria, they are both following a slightly different

:10:04.:10:07.

agenda, and how they are going to pull that agenda together and agree

:10:08.:10:14.

on an agenda is something... I have no idea how they are going to do

:10:15.:10:18.

that. It is interesting that they are saying that because obviously

:10:19.:10:21.

they are supporting very different factions. I'm not sure that there is

:10:22.:10:27.

a fraction... There are so many factions that yes, Putin is

:10:28.:10:33.

supporting Assad, but what everyone else is supporting a slightly

:10:34.:10:39.

opaque. Yes, they overlap on one subject, ISIL, but on the issue of a

:10:40.:10:51.

sad they are opposed. Underpinning a lot of the aim is politically around

:10:52.:10:55.

Syria and ISIS is that you can have a solution in Syria, and if you have

:10:56.:11:01.

stability it might be more difficult for them to operate. But there seems

:11:02.:11:04.

to be a different agenda on how you get there. You have the rhetoric

:11:05.:11:15.

that they have attacked us and we will destroy them, but I think that

:11:16.:11:21.

maybe then they will become un- Allied. On many of the front pages

:11:22.:11:28.

is Charlie Sheen, and his admission that he is HIV positive and was

:11:29.:11:34.

blackmailed to keep it a secret. This is quite a confusing story,

:11:35.:11:38.

because actually it looks like he spent about ?10 million on being

:11:39.:11:42.

blackmailed, and I was trying to think why he would spend ?10

:11:43.:11:46.

million. I imagine it is because he might have a lot of lawsuits

:11:47.:11:50.

following him now, if he has had unprotected sex with other women.

:11:51.:11:54.

They can potentially probably now sue him, so that is probably why he

:11:55.:12:03.

has not gone public until now. I imagine he went public because

:12:04.:12:08.

someone got wind of the story. It has been a difficult time, I

:12:09.:12:14.

imagine, and he has had a very difficult life, and this is where it

:12:15.:12:18.

has ended up. It'll be interesting to see how much sympathy there for

:12:19.:12:23.

him. Yes, there are some who are quite sympathetic, but some of the

:12:24.:12:32.

tabloids are already saying, raising issues about whether he was totally

:12:33.:12:35.

forthcoming about the women he has been with. There are potential

:12:36.:12:40.

criminal issues in a lot of jurisdictions, if you knowingly have

:12:41.:12:47.

sex with someone, you are open to manslaughter charges in some

:12:48.:12:50.

countries. It is a complex legal area. Time has caught up with us,

:12:51.:12:58.

sadly. Quite sombre tonight. That is the world we live in at the moment.

:12:59.:13:02.

Thank you both, it has been great to talk to you. Coming up next,

:13:03.:13:04.

Sportsday.
