:01:26. > :01:34.Storm Desmond and puts Carlisle as one of the town's worst affected.
:01:35. > :01:40.We are going to start with the flooding in the north of England and
:01:41. > :01:49.the Scottish Borders. With a newspaper from Carlisle. The picture
:01:50. > :01:55.of rescue team bringing a woman and her dog to safety through the
:01:56. > :02:02.floodwaters. It is very heartening, I always find, how stoic people.
:02:03. > :02:09.They do seem to rally around in times of trouble. It is good to see
:02:10. > :02:13.a paper like this one in Carlisle coming up with a positive front
:02:14. > :02:17.page. They could have been complaining about cuts to flood
:02:18. > :02:23.defences and instead they are concentrating on the efforts of the
:02:24. > :02:27.emergency services but also in the story inside the paper on the way in
:02:28. > :02:35.which local communities have been rallying around, local businesses to
:02:36. > :02:40.-- donating food and money. A similar picture is on the Times,
:02:41. > :02:46.with another woman being brought to safety. And do not forget the pats.
:02:47. > :02:56.People refuse to leave their homes if the animals cannot come as well.
:02:57. > :03:02.This was just overwhelming. It raises the obvious question. We will
:03:03. > :03:12.not be able to build barriers that can cope with every single
:03:13. > :03:19.eventuality. It is obviously not just a question of rainfall. It is
:03:20. > :03:37.about land use, defences in the area. There will be a lot of picking
:03:38. > :03:49.up. It exacerbates it. As Matthew says, these are record levels of
:03:50. > :04:00.rainfall. Nobody was expecting this kind of circumflex stance to prop up
:04:01. > :04:06.so quickly. It was only 2009 that they were inundated before. I was up
:04:07. > :04:12.in the north. It was unbelievable to see it coming down. We are going to
:04:13. > :04:16.see more and more of these stories. We have got a huge climate meeting
:04:17. > :04:22.taking place under the auspices of the UN in Paris. It does not have
:04:23. > :04:28.the kind of news value of a natural disaster. But the stakes are
:04:29. > :04:36.absolutely the future of civilisation. It will be good to see
:04:37. > :04:44.more reporting coming out in Paris. Stay with the Times. Commuters put
:04:45. > :04:51.on Terror alert. A place issue which make issuing a warning. The police
:04:52. > :04:59.treating this as a terrorist incident.
:05:00. > :05:09.-- of the police issuing a warning. There are scant details from the
:05:10. > :05:13.story. It does not sound like they have got any link to any bigger
:05:14. > :05:19.organisation or any evidence that this individual was a member of a
:05:20. > :05:23.larger group. Clearly the motive that may have been terrorist
:05:24. > :05:32.inspired. The question that several of the papers are asking is whether
:05:33. > :05:39.there were enough police on hand. But it seems they did a pretty good
:05:40. > :05:47.job. Now in custody. We just know it is a 29-year-old. Do not know much
:05:48. > :05:52.of the detail. This quote, the response of somebody who saw this
:05:53. > :05:59.happening. The suspect was supposed to have said, this is for Syria. You
:06:00. > :06:10.could hear very clearly on the film recorded this person, presumably a
:06:11. > :06:14.Muslim himself, saying this. I think it was just a very British way to
:06:15. > :06:22.deal with it. That response in its self is a very tissue response. The
:06:23. > :06:29.way in which the police on the scene dealt with it quick and effectively.
:06:30. > :06:34.It is heartening that we are able to deal with this without being shot
:06:35. > :06:41.dead. If this was America, that would have been the outcome. The
:06:42. > :06:52.Daily Mail, an engineer who is featured. Clearly he stepped up and
:06:53. > :06:58.took on this knifeman. You can see children were terrified. He had the
:06:59. > :07:03.courage to confront him. But the bit that really jumps out, there were so
:07:04. > :07:08.many opportunities where somebody could have grabbed him, but adults
:07:09. > :07:15.were standing around filming. We have enjoyed watching the clip and
:07:16. > :07:21.seeing the drama, but it raises a question, when there is a whole
:07:22. > :07:26.group of people standing around. If it is terrifying, run away. But we
:07:27. > :07:30.need to have a national conversation, if there is a crisis,
:07:31. > :07:35.it is not acceptable to stand around and film it and you could be
:07:36. > :07:42.helping. But do we want people to go and have a go? Also, the police are
:07:43. > :07:51.appealing for people to show them these pictures. They are extremely
:07:52. > :07:56.useful. Maybe we should have a rule that gets people to involve and then
:07:57. > :08:03.film, rather than the other way around. There was the foiled attack
:08:04. > :08:08.in France if you weeks ago. There was an off-duty American servicemen
:08:09. > :08:13.who stopped what would have been a massacre. It would take a very brave
:08:14. > :08:21.person. It should not be general advice. The Daily Telegraph, police
:08:22. > :08:27.missed it. They might have known that this could have happened? Do we
:08:28. > :08:36.want armed police on every street corner in every underground station?
:08:37. > :08:55.It seems the police could have dealt with it quickly. The idea that this
:08:56. > :09:00.has led to Christianity in decline. Is it sensible to have it at the
:09:01. > :09:06.heart of public life? The research has been going on for two years. I
:09:07. > :09:11.find the conclusion is extraordinary. As Janet Peters
:09:12. > :09:16.propped up by so many of our institutions in this country. --
:09:17. > :09:23.Christianity. Relatively speaking, fewer people follow the Christian
:09:24. > :09:30.faith. To have seats reserved for Anglican bishops in the House of
:09:31. > :09:38.Lords is one thing. And also the BBC comes in for some criticism as well.
:09:39. > :09:47.The story in the Daily Telegraph says there should be nonreligious
:09:48. > :09:51.messages. It does strike me as extraordinary that every Sunday
:09:52. > :10:03.morning when I turn on my radio, I get an hour's Kristian service. --
:10:04. > :10:09.Christian. The Queen is also the head of the church. This report is
:10:10. > :10:14.recommending that in the next coronation service, other
:10:15. > :10:20.participants from other faiths should be given a prominent role. I
:10:21. > :10:24.think what you said it's absolutely true, but a lot of people in this
:10:25. > :10:29.country will feel profoundly unsettled by this kind of
:10:30. > :10:35.suggestion. Basic Christianity as part of the British identity. This
:10:36. > :10:41.is going to be a delicate issue for the government to navigate,
:10:42. > :10:45.especially when there are concerns. Prince Charles said he wanted to be
:10:46. > :10:53.the Defender of the Faith. The Front Nationale are set for a historic
:10:54. > :11:03.result. They have done well in the regional elections. Better that ever
:11:04. > :11:06.since the party was founded. A search of the far right. It mirrors
:11:07. > :11:19.what we have seen in other countries. It is a worrying portent
:11:20. > :11:25.of the political landscape in Europe. Nicholas Sarkozy said he
:11:26. > :11:31.would not go into partnership with the Socialists to stop it. When her
:11:32. > :11:36.father got into the final round of the presidential election, there was
:11:37. > :11:44.a package of parties that stopped him winning. There will be a lot of
:11:45. > :11:54.Front Nationale councils all around France. Looking at page three of the
:11:55. > :12:04.Times. BBC tried to defeat dad 's Army. The series poking too much fun
:12:05. > :12:12.at the Second World War? This is news to me. I grew up with it, I can
:12:13. > :12:16.virtually recite the dialogue. It is such a part of national life. It
:12:17. > :12:25.almost did not get made, because BBC bosses were concerned it was edgy to
:12:26. > :12:31.start making fun of the war effort. This was in the middle of the 60s,
:12:32. > :12:40.when the BBC already, satire was alive and well. It was taking the
:12:41. > :12:42.Mickey out of politicians in a way we have never experienced before.
:12:43. > :12:48.But somehow the home guard was beyond the pale. But they still went
:12:49. > :12:53.on to make of the series that took the Mickey out of everybody. It
:12:54. > :12:57.shows why focus groups should be ignored. They had a viewing with a
:12:58. > :13:09.focus group who hated Dad's Army. The writer had to fight hard to get
:13:10. > :13:25.it made. They showed Dad's Army two samples of viewers who did not like
:13:26. > :13:30.it very much. That is it for the papers tonight. Thank you very much
:13:31. > :13:33.for taking us through the stories. That is it from us. Next up, the
:13:34. > :13:35.film review.
