:00:00. > :00:00.sets. Kyle Edmund took two sets before losing 3-2. We will also have

:00:00. > :00:15.a look at some winter sports action. That is after the papers.

:00:16. > :00:18.Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers

:00:19. > :00:23.With me are David Torrance, columnist for the Herald and the

:00:24. > :00:31.writer and broadcaster, Alice Arnold.

:00:32. > :00:33.Tomorrow's front pages, starting with...

:00:34. > :00:33.The Independent leads

:00:34. > :00:36.with claims by four senior Labour MPs that Jeremy Corbyn's

:00:37. > :00:41.The same story is on the front of the Times, which says that senior

:00:42. > :00:43.labour figures have sought legal advice as they plot

:00:44. > :00:46.Shopping analysts are predicting that consumers will enjoy

:00:47. > :00:48.unprecedented discounts until Christmas,

:00:49. > :00:52.The Mail also focuses on Black Friday but says it was a flop on the

:00:53. > :00:56.The Daily Mirror prints a letter to Father Christmas

:00:57. > :00:59.from seven year old Christian Hickey who was shot on his doorstep.

:01:00. > :01:04.Cuts to green subsidies are under the spotlight in the FT.

:01:05. > :01:09.And finally The Sun's top story is that staff at Easyjet are

:01:10. > :01:12.on high alert after Arabic writing was found daubed beside fuel tanks

:01:13. > :01:33.We will be rather predictably with the Jeremy Corbyn issue and the

:01:34. > :01:40.plot... So many plots tonight. The Independent, the foreign secretary

:01:41. > :01:47.contradicting his stance on airstrikes. This story won't go

:01:48. > :01:52.away, we might be talking about the potential action and what it would

:01:53. > :01:56.look like in Syria? The actual issue might be talked about, but instead

:01:57. > :02:00.we are talking about the Labour Party. I think that is probably an

:02:01. > :02:04.agenda from some of the media outlets, to get at Jeremy Corbyn.

:02:05. > :02:14.They will keep doing it and looking for his weaknesses. Helped by senior

:02:15. > :02:23.figures. The deputy leader in the Shadow Foreign Secretary. Half the

:02:24. > :02:27.shadow cabinets don't agree, but presumably the other half to. The

:02:28. > :02:40.Independent isn't the most obvious paper to be picking at Jeremy

:02:41. > :02:44.Corbyn? -- Cabinet. There is a question about whether the Labour

:02:45. > :02:52.Party can form a solid opposition. That is a serious issue, because we

:02:53. > :02:56.do need one. If the Labour Party is in a terrible mess, as it says on

:02:57. > :03:02.the front of The Independent, maybe something has to happen. As an

:03:03. > :03:05.opposition party, they do have to formulate policies. You have to

:03:06. > :03:09.build a consensus around that. There doesn't seem to be one of these

:03:10. > :03:14.airstrikes. The trouble is that even if there was a consensus, there are

:03:15. > :03:23.divisions about Jeremy Corbyn's leadership. I am sure that is true,

:03:24. > :03:36.but inevitably any policy decision has a range of views. It is striking

:03:37. > :03:40.thinking about those who opposed his stance are not really giving reasons

:03:41. > :03:44.for that. It has become about the leadership, which seems a

:03:45. > :03:48.distraction from issue. It will be interesting to see what happens on

:03:49. > :03:51.Monday, the MPs have gone away on the weekends to talk to family

:03:52. > :03:57.friends and constituents. The comeback on and feed weather that

:03:58. > :04:10.has swayed them at all... The general feeling, and this is in the

:04:11. > :04:17.mirror, they have done a poll to see whether people think that we should

:04:18. > :04:26.have airstrikes in theory or not. -- in Syria. The general opinion is not

:04:27. > :04:30.strongly in favour -- Mirror. Jeremy Corbyn is actually speaking for a

:04:31. > :04:33.huge amount of the British population who do not want to see

:04:34. > :04:38.extracts. They need somebody speaking for them. The Jennifer

:04:39. > :04:45.Saunders has twittered, why is the news about Jeremy Corbyn rather than

:04:46. > :04:52.rights and wrongs and airstrikes? People are clearly thinking about it

:04:53. > :04:56.for themselves, this poll would indicate they are not convinced. If

:04:57. > :05:02.you think back to Iraq, public opinion was initially in favour of

:05:03. > :05:12.action. From this poll, which is quite comprehensive, appears certain

:05:13. > :05:22.-- it appears that certainly divided. 59% of men support

:05:23. > :05:25.airstrikes, only 38% of women. 59% of those questioned by the Mirror

:05:26. > :05:30.think that sending in more planes would increase the risk of terrorist

:05:31. > :05:36.attacks. I think that is a crucial consideration. It has been sold as a

:05:37. > :05:40.matter of national security. Those attacks happened in Paris just a few

:05:41. > :05:43.100 miles away. Jeremy Corbyn has always said, he thinks it could make

:05:44. > :05:50.it worse. There have been other commentators who have said the

:05:51. > :05:56.same? The attacks in Paris were also not from Syrians who had come to

:05:57. > :06:02.attack France, they had only come from Belgium. I think we are all

:06:03. > :06:08.aware that if a terrorist attack were to happen in this country, it

:06:09. > :06:13.would likely come from within the country. That is why the

:06:14. > :06:16.intelligence services are so important, they have stopped

:06:17. > :06:19.attacks. I think it would rather we put our resources into that. The

:06:20. > :06:25.reason people are sceptical is that it has happened in the past and it

:06:26. > :06:28.has not helped situation. As with our international partners, don't we

:06:29. > :06:36.have to be part of the group of allies? That is one element of

:06:37. > :06:42.certainly the conservative argument, we cannot outsource foreign policy.

:06:43. > :06:49.We have to stand with our allies. That was also Tony Blair's argument

:06:50. > :06:57.with Iraq. It doesn't necessarily end up in a good place. Beyond the

:06:58. > :07:01.security indications, there are the military objections. Many military

:07:02. > :07:06.specialists say it but we would not make much of a difference in a

:07:07. > :07:12.strategic sense. A secret bid to oust Corbyn, lawyers telling the

:07:13. > :07:16.Labour MPs that they can dump their leader. Why does it need a legal

:07:17. > :07:20.underpinning? They are trying to work out a voting strategy. The one

:07:21. > :07:30.thing about all this story is that nobody is saying he should be the

:07:31. > :07:33.leader. It is a bit like saying we want to get rid of Islamic State,

:07:34. > :07:40.but we don't know what the final solution should be or what we want

:07:41. > :07:47.in our. You need an alternative. Nobody has offered an alternative or

:07:48. > :07:51.put their name forward. Perhaps Hillary and then might emerge,

:07:52. > :08:00.probably his most prolific critic... He will emerge. The son of

:08:01. > :08:17.Tony Blair, not known for being critical. Looking at the Sun, four

:08:18. > :08:23.planes in a scare. Do we know what the Arabic sayyid? We don't yet. A

:08:24. > :08:32.translation has not been released. -- said. If you think about it, for

:08:33. > :08:38.someone to daub graffiti near fuel tanks, they need access to the fuel

:08:39. > :08:44.tanks. It doesn't really matter what language it is an. Somebody knows

:08:45. > :08:52.what they have written, but they haven't released it -- in. It is a

:08:53. > :08:57.security worry. Something like 80,000 people work at the airport,

:08:58. > :09:03.and you think, that's an awful lot of people to keep track of. Those

:09:04. > :09:07.people have access to planes, the crew are complaining they don't have

:09:08. > :09:11.long enough, they only have about seven minutes to go through a safety

:09:12. > :09:19.check. Saying it is not nearly enough time to be safe. The pilot is

:09:20. > :09:25.responsible for the internal parts of the plane. A slightly alarming

:09:26. > :09:30.call from the aviation International, they said they know

:09:31. > :09:38.there are people working in airports with extremist sympathies. If they

:09:39. > :09:42.know that, you would think, surely they could get them a different

:09:43. > :09:45.job. Perhaps they could work in the canteen or somewhere else. It is a

:09:46. > :09:53.worry, I think everyone is terrified. It is so variable all

:09:54. > :10:06.over the world. You realise how tight security can be in some

:10:07. > :10:10.places, like Israel. The daily express, MPs pushing for a four-day

:10:11. > :10:15.week on the same pay. That would be nice. Who is pushing for this? It's

:10:16. > :10:25.coming from various quarters and for different reasons. At the moment,

:10:26. > :10:28.Fridays in the Commons tend to be taken up with private members bills

:10:29. > :10:34.and stuff that isn't really going to go anyway. A lot of MPs, for

:10:35. > :10:38.different reasons, want to spend Fridays in their constituency. They

:10:39. > :10:43.are in the Parliament in Westminster Monday to Thursday, but they want

:10:44. > :10:49.Fridays to do other things. So, they wouldn't be working four days a

:10:50. > :10:57.week, four days in London and one in their constituency. If it introduced

:10:58. > :11:07.general idea of MPs being lazy, having lots of holidays. It's just

:11:08. > :11:11.not true. Even when they're not at Westminster, they are still working.

:11:12. > :11:18.The express says they want to take their first class flights home to

:11:19. > :11:21.Scotland a bit earlier. Douglas Carswell said we need to change the

:11:22. > :11:39.whole culture of MPs, they should just be part-time. Various MPs have

:11:40. > :11:44.jobs as GPs as well. I quite like MPs to have a full-time job running

:11:45. > :11:50.the country, I don't need them to give me my flu jab. I would rather

:11:51. > :11:59.they were concentrating fully, once they are an MP, to have their full

:12:00. > :12:03.attention. There was an argument that they could cut the recesses and

:12:04. > :12:07.have shorter breaks, but do a four-day week so they could spend

:12:08. > :12:11.the travelling time at home. That is the point the SNP are making quite

:12:12. > :12:19.legitimately. They do have to travel a lot further to get home. The Mail,

:12:20. > :12:29.and the Telegraph, the Black Friday flop. Deserted High Street stores

:12:30. > :12:33.leave piles of am -- unsold goods. After the violence of last year, you

:12:34. > :12:37.can't blame people? I did, I went online. There is a problem though,

:12:38. > :12:47.because all the websites started crashing. Some companies have lost

:12:48. > :12:53.about ?2.8 million in lost revenue. If this is going to be more an

:12:54. > :12:59.on-line then, and I think the scenes last year really puts people off...

:13:00. > :13:12.The cold and the weight. It was quite unseemly. Some people got up

:13:13. > :13:18.overnight. Some got up in their pyjamas and when shopping in their

:13:19. > :13:29.pyjamas. It's a little bit crazy. To save ?30 on an iPad. Not worth

:13:30. > :13:38.losing your sleep over. I love the detail in the Mail, the only people

:13:39. > :13:41.who ended up outside this flagship store in Oxford Street were

:13:42. > :13:48.journalists. Should have stayed at home. The daily Telegraph says we

:13:49. > :13:58.have sales until Christmas? Cyber Monday apparently. I don't know what

:13:59. > :14:03.is super Saturday? This cultural phenomenon of shopping has passed me

:14:04. > :14:09.by. I have a nostalgic fondness for the Boxing Day sales, but as the

:14:10. > :14:15.Telegraph says it is now completely superfluous. We are spreading out

:14:16. > :14:25.the sales from yesterday or today until after Christmas. It is about a

:14:26. > :14:31.six-week thing. Price reduction. We will finish with a lovely picture.

:14:32. > :14:35.This was requested on Twitter, we don't normally do requests but I

:14:36. > :14:43.could not resist this one. John, you know who you are. This is a

:14:44. > :14:46.hedgehog. Hedgehog numbers are in sharp decline, apparently we can

:14:47. > :14:53.make simple changes to attract them to our gardens. You just said you

:14:54. > :14:57.have them in your garden? I think it is because we never clear the

:14:58. > :15:02.leaves. I don't think my garden is big enough. I was clearing the

:15:03. > :15:08.leaves up and an enormous toad was underneath them. Not quite as cute

:15:09. > :15:18.as hedgehogs. We mustn't feed hedgehogs milk. You can give them a

:15:19. > :15:25.bit of dog or cat food. It is good to help the service broadcasting.

:15:26. > :15:32.Don't give them bread or milk. I like the juxtaposition between the

:15:33. > :15:38.hedgehog and Jeremy Corbyn. He is in a much better place, the hedgehog. I

:15:39. > :15:40.knew that would be popular. Lovely to have it here.
