:00:00. > :00:00.Redbridge in the second round. That is all in 15 minutes after the
:00:00. > :00:13.papers. Hello, and welcome to our look
:00:14. > :00:16.ahead to what the the papers With me are Liam Halligan,
:00:17. > :00:21.who's Economics Commentator for The Telegraph, and the broadcaster
:00:22. > :00:26.Penny Smith. Tomorrow's front pages, starting
:00:27. > :00:29.with... The Financial Times leads,
:00:30. > :00:32.unsurprisingly, with the historic US
:00:33. > :00:34.Fed rate rise of a quarter of a percent
:00:35. > :00:39.in what it calls a 'landmark step'. Moving on to the Metro,
:00:40. > :00:41.which features on its front page the early release from jail of the
:00:42. > :00:45.former BBC presenter Stuart Hall. The Independent carries the
:00:46. > :00:47.story of the Syria refugees crisis ahead of
:00:48. > :00:52.a meeting in Brussels on Thursday. The Daily Express warns of a
:00:53. > :00:55.toxic dust cloud that could be sweeping into Britain
:00:56. > :00:58.from the Sahara. The Guardian features an
:00:59. > :01:00.investigation into illegal goods - including stun guns and pepper
:01:01. > :01:12.spray - being sold on Amazon. It's anger on the front page
:01:13. > :01:15.of the Times as the newspaper reveals that over a thousand charity
:01:16. > :01:18.chiefs are paid six figure salaries. The Taxman gets a beating in
:01:19. > :01:21.The Daily Mail, with MPs calling a 38-minute waiting time to get
:01:22. > :01:28.through to HMRC 'abysmal'. Finally, daffodils for Christmas -
:01:29. > :01:30.the unseasonally warm weather has seen flowers sprouting up all over
:01:31. > :01:33.the country and these ones should be in stores in time for the holiday -
:01:34. > :01:56.that's in the Daily Telegraph. Let's begin. Penny has broken her
:01:57. > :02:02.wrist in a skiing accident. I did. When I went to go have it sorted
:02:03. > :02:09.out, the lovely Doctor at the emergency room gave me a list of
:02:10. > :02:18.things I should not do, you can't do this or that, and don't eat other
:02:19. > :02:24.people. -- hit. I am used to being told not to hit children, but I can
:02:25. > :02:29.do the paper review. Let's talk about the Times front page. They are
:02:30. > :02:35.talking about the districts on standby as ices extend their control
:02:36. > :02:42.into Libya. Possibly 1000 troops and special forces. -- side. An Italian
:02:43. > :02:47.mission it to support Libyan security forces. I am confused by
:02:48. > :02:53.this sentence, they will not be in a combat role, but members would be
:02:54. > :02:59.armed to take on high-value Isis terrorist targets. That is because
:03:00. > :03:06.this is a rather anonymously sourced story from Whitehall that the MOD
:03:07. > :03:12.has denied tonight, but... The difference is the troops will be
:03:13. > :03:21.training Libyan security forces and the SAS will be deployed under this
:03:22. > :03:27.surmise to take out specific high-ranking folk from second act.
:03:28. > :03:30.How is that not a combat role? The Raby sentence is structured
:03:31. > :03:36.carefully is that the troops will not be in a combat role, but SAS
:03:37. > :03:41.forces could be. -- the way the sentence. Since the fall of Gaddafi
:03:42. > :03:46.they have not had a functioning government, and that is why Isis
:03:47. > :03:49.have such a strong hold. This is a response that may be Britain will be
:03:50. > :03:55.deploying troops. You mentioned the MOD statement. They say no decisions
:03:56. > :03:59.have been made about the future deployment of any British military
:04:00. > :04:03.forces to Libya as part of a international coalition force. The
:04:04. > :04:07.point is that because of the bombing in Syria, this is why they want to
:04:08. > :04:16.go to Libya, because they have the oil reserves. Let's move on to the
:04:17. > :04:19.i. I think you want to focus on something that is not the dominant
:04:20. > :04:23.headline, the story about fracking which we have been reporting. You
:04:24. > :04:29.are worried it is not featuring very heavily in the papers. I think we
:04:30. > :04:34.both thought giving their is such a strength of feeling around the UK
:04:35. > :04:38.about fracking, especially in rural regions, we were surprised that was
:04:39. > :04:42.not more on this Commons vote today to allow fracking in national parks
:04:43. > :04:47.and other areas of outstanding natural beauty. When we set not much
:04:48. > :04:55.coverage, we mean in the papers. We know it has been covered on the BBC.
:04:56. > :04:59.The Commons voted 298-206 to one to allow fracking in national parks
:05:00. > :05:04.even though campaigners have said ministers pledged an outright ban on
:05:05. > :05:09.fracking in national parks as recently as January. The compromise
:05:10. > :05:14.is that the actual rigs will not be allowed in national parks, and the
:05:15. > :05:19.fracking will only be allowed 1.92, matters were the ground. But a lot
:05:20. > :05:25.of campaigners concerned about this extraction of what we call tight oil
:05:26. > :05:29.and gas, is the pumping chemicals and chemical reactions underground
:05:30. > :05:35.to get it out. A very emotive subject. Which you stand? Don't we
:05:36. > :05:40.all think this is near the water table, so instinctively you think
:05:41. > :05:46.this is not a good thing? We are such a polluting... We are already
:05:47. > :05:50.polluting so much... But we need energy for the future. Lots of
:05:51. > :05:54.people feel right now we should have moved on to find something that was
:05:55. > :05:58.not well, and especially not something where you are involved in
:05:59. > :06:06.blasting something to get this out. It is so tightly packed. Given more
:06:07. > :06:09.oil is in regions of the world that are politically difficult, shall we
:06:10. > :06:16.say, there will be more emphasis on this in the UK as they has been in
:06:17. > :06:25.the US. Surely we have moved on? We were supposed to have by this time.
:06:26. > :06:32.I remember reading things you could make energy from. You are showing
:06:33. > :06:37.your age. I think it was 1860. Let's move on to the daily Telegraph.
:06:38. > :06:42.Again on the environment, they say nine out of ten cancers are due to
:06:43. > :06:47.lifestyle, and that includes environmental factors but also
:06:48. > :06:52.smoking, drinking, exposure to the Sun, pollution and so on. It is
:06:53. > :07:03.especially cancers of the breast, prostate and one. -- line. They are
:07:04. > :07:08.talking about up to 90% caused by extrinsic factors, meaning it is not
:07:09. > :07:13.something genetic, lack, but things we have to do. The sad thing is I'm
:07:14. > :07:18.sure there are loads of people who say, here we go again. In other
:07:19. > :07:26.words, stop having fun. The problem is we do like to go out and drink,
:07:27. > :07:34.eat, and instinctively, quite a lot of people find people who are not
:07:35. > :07:40.wanting to go out and have fun and spent five hours in the gym. We
:07:41. > :07:46.think they are not interesting. This debate ebbs and flows. The Telegraph
:07:47. > :07:50.refers to a January study by John Hopkins University, well-respected
:07:51. > :07:56.in the states, saying 65% of cancers are inevitable, in other words they
:07:57. > :07:59.are due to cell mutations, may be genetic, and nothing to do with how
:08:00. > :08:09.you out living a lie. Now we have another study in New York,
:08:10. > :08:16.Washington, which has been published in a magazine, that says it is down
:08:17. > :08:24.to your lifestyle. Skin cancers are caused in a high percentage by the
:08:25. > :08:29.Sun. When you talk about diet, lack of exercise, pollution and stress,
:08:30. > :08:35.stress is a difficult one to deal with. It is difficult to get rid of
:08:36. > :08:40.that. Thank you. Let's talk about the Guardian, because they are
:08:41. > :08:49.focusing on what is the big economic story of the day, the Fed rate rise.
:08:50. > :08:53.It was anticipated, but a lot of papers are calling it historic.
:08:54. > :08:59.Viewers will remember after the crisis in 2008 across the Western
:09:00. > :09:08.world, just rate were slashed. US interest rates have been down at
:09:09. > :09:13.0.25%. Now the Fed have raised rates. It was widely anticipated.
:09:14. > :09:19.Two or three times they have tried to raise them before, but just
:09:20. > :09:25.floating the idea and there were tensions. This response has been
:09:26. > :09:30.widely flagged and therefore it has been calm. It is not a very big
:09:31. > :09:36.rise. It is a tiny rise. When you take it in inflation, US interest
:09:37. > :09:41.rates are now precisely zero. They have gone up to zero, from negative
:09:42. > :09:47.interest rates. This means symbolically the Bank of England is
:09:48. > :09:51.now more likely to raise sooner than it otherwise would. Our interest
:09:52. > :09:56.rates have been down at historic lows since March 2009. Many
:09:57. > :10:01.households have borrowed heavily. The Bank of England brought out a
:10:02. > :10:07.study saying maybe if they'd of British households could become into
:10:08. > :10:17.trouble if rates went up more than 2%. 2% is a lot. Yes, but that would
:10:18. > :10:25.make it 2.5% before sub-prime. Why do they say a quarter of a percent?
:10:26. > :10:33.I don't know, Penny. From now on, I will say a quarter %. It just seems
:10:34. > :10:38.unnecessary to say a quarter of a percent. If you want to sound like a
:10:39. > :10:46.smart Alec, you could say 25 basis points. Gizmo -- there is no
:10:47. > :10:55.inevitability. It does not mean rates will go up. It is symbolic.
:10:56. > :11:01.Psychologically. We will not go in one direction while the Fed those in
:11:02. > :11:05.another. But we could stay the same. Yes, for quite a while. Let's look
:11:06. > :11:11.at the express. They have the dust cloud from the Sahara that could be
:11:12. > :11:17.toxic. We have had them before. Not so close to Christmas. Instead of
:11:18. > :11:22.snow we will get tossed? Where we talk about temperatures of seven
:11:23. > :11:28.degrees for Christmas... The hottest Christmas for half a century. Now
:11:29. > :11:34.they say we have these freakishly warm temperatures. It will be hotter
:11:35. > :11:41.then Sydney. They call it a blood rain. The sand falls from the sky.
:11:42. > :11:44.Of course there is an issue for people who have breathing
:11:45. > :11:51.difficulties. Anything that clogs up the air for anybody already... If
:11:52. > :12:02.you are a asthma sufferer. Deathtrap has issued warnings. -- side. I
:12:03. > :12:09.wonder what the likelihood of a red Christmas is. Let's look at the
:12:10. > :12:14.Telegraph. Bunches of daffodils being collected in a Cornish field
:12:15. > :12:20.to take to supermarkets in time for Christmas. Do you want to put
:12:21. > :12:24.daffodils are up for Christmas? It is very cherry. I'm wearing a
:12:25. > :12:30.cheerful festive scarf, but I should probably wear a canary yellow one.
:12:31. > :12:36.Dress up as a spring chicken. Why not? Put your rid of antlers away.
:12:37. > :12:41.You can't help but feel sorry for nature. You are thinking about
:12:42. > :12:50.hibernating and... Imagine being a bird. You are finding all of these
:12:51. > :12:54.birds. Is it alarming to think it is so warm in December and you are out
:12:55. > :13:00.in a T-shirt? Is it time a change? The thing is, they probably said
:13:01. > :13:09.that in the Ice Age. Do you think it is, change? The dinosaurs as well.
:13:10. > :13:12.What you think? And e-mail. Love and cuddles from Fred and Gladys.
:13:13. > :13:25.Explain what we are talking about here.
:13:26. > :13:34.What a nice photograph! It is a lovely photograph, they both look
:13:35. > :13:38.very happy. That is their Christmas card. It is not very Christmassy and
:13:39. > :13:46.he is not wearing a jacket, but that is OK. Have either of you had
:13:47. > :13:54.Christmas cards from the Royal family? I am always waiting, always
:13:55. > :13:59.anticipating. There will always be a moment. Anything from Fred and
:14:00. > :14:08.Gladys? No, I am not quite a 100 yet. Is that what you meant? No,
:14:09. > :14:14.obviously not. Yours is in the post. I hope your wrist gets better soon.
:14:15. > :14:21.Said why. I haven't hit anybody with it yet. I hope it has recovered in
:14:22. > :14:29.time for... Well, not Christmas, but New Year. I get out of the washing
:14:30. > :14:36.up! Just some news we have had in the past couple of minutes, the US
:14:37. > :14:42.and Cuba have agreed to restore commercial airline flights between
:14:43. > :14:48.America and Cuba. Coming up next, it is time for Sportsday.
