Redbridge in the second round. That is all in 15 minutes after the | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
papers. Hello, and welcome to our look | :00:00. | :00:13. | |
ahead to what the the papers With me are Liam Halligan, | :00:14. | :00:16. | |
who's Economics Commentator for The Telegraph, and the broadcaster | :00:17. | :00:21. | |
Penny Smith. Tomorrow's front pages, starting | :00:22. | :00:26. | |
with... The Financial Times leads, | :00:27. | :00:29. | |
unsurprisingly, with the historic US | :00:30. | :00:32. | |
Fed rate rise of a quarter of a percent | :00:33. | :00:34. | |
in what it calls a 'landmark step'. Moving on to the Metro, | :00:35. | :00:39. | |
which features on its front page the early release from jail of the | :00:40. | :00:41. | |
former BBC presenter Stuart Hall. The Independent carries the | :00:42. | :00:45. | |
story of the Syria refugees crisis ahead of | :00:46. | :00:47. | |
a meeting in Brussels on Thursday. The Daily Express warns of a | :00:48. | :00:52. | |
toxic dust cloud that could be sweeping into Britain | :00:53. | :00:55. | |
from the Sahara. The Guardian features an | :00:56. | :00:58. | |
investigation into illegal goods - including stun guns and pepper | :00:59. | :01:00. | |
spray - being sold on Amazon. It's anger on the front page | :01:01. | :01:12. | |
of the Times as the newspaper reveals that over a thousand charity | :01:13. | :01:15. | |
chiefs are paid six figure salaries. The Taxman gets a beating in | :01:16. | :01:18. | |
The Daily Mail, with MPs calling a 38-minute waiting time to get | :01:19. | :01:21. | |
through to HMRC 'abysmal'. Finally, daffodils for Christmas - | :01:22. | :01:28. | |
the unseasonally warm weather has seen flowers sprouting up all over | :01:29. | :01:30. | |
the country and these ones should be in stores in time for the holiday - | :01:31. | :01:33. | |
that's in the Daily Telegraph. Let's begin. Penny has broken her | :01:34. | :01:56. | |
wrist in a skiing accident. I did. When I went to go have it sorted | :01:57. | :02:02. | |
out, the lovely Doctor at the emergency room gave me a list of | :02:03. | :02:09. | |
things I should not do, you can't do this or that, and don't eat other | :02:10. | :02:18. | |
people. -- hit. I am used to being told not to hit children, but I can | :02:19. | :02:24. | |
do the paper review. Let's talk about the Times front page. They are | :02:25. | :02:29. | |
talking about the districts on standby as ices extend their control | :02:30. | :02:35. | |
into Libya. Possibly 1000 troops and special forces. -- side. An Italian | :02:36. | :02:42. | |
mission it to support Libyan security forces. I am confused by | :02:43. | :02:47. | |
this sentence, they will not be in a combat role, but members would be | :02:48. | :02:53. | |
armed to take on high-value Isis terrorist targets. That is because | :02:54. | :02:59. | |
this is a rather anonymously sourced story from Whitehall that the MOD | :03:00. | :03:06. | |
has denied tonight, but... The difference is the troops will be | :03:07. | :03:12. | |
training Libyan security forces and the SAS will be deployed under this | :03:13. | :03:21. | |
surmise to take out specific high-ranking folk from second act. | :03:22. | :03:27. | |
How is that not a combat role? The Raby sentence is structured | :03:28. | :03:30. | |
carefully is that the troops will not be in a combat role, but SAS | :03:31. | :03:36. | |
forces could be. -- the way the sentence. Since the fall of Gaddafi | :03:37. | :03:41. | |
they have not had a functioning government, and that is why Isis | :03:42. | :03:46. | |
have such a strong hold. This is a response that may be Britain will be | :03:47. | :03:49. | |
deploying troops. You mentioned the MOD statement. They say no decisions | :03:50. | :03:55. | |
have been made about the future deployment of any British military | :03:56. | :03:59. | |
forces to Libya as part of a international coalition force. The | :04:00. | :04:03. | |
point is that because of the bombing in Syria, this is why they want to | :04:04. | :04:07. | |
go to Libya, because they have the oil reserves. Let's move on to the | :04:08. | :04:16. | |
i. I think you want to focus on something that is not the dominant | :04:17. | :04:19. | |
headline, the story about fracking which we have been reporting. You | :04:20. | :04:23. | |
are worried it is not featuring very heavily in the papers. I think we | :04:24. | :04:29. | |
both thought giving their is such a strength of feeling around the UK | :04:30. | :04:34. | |
about fracking, especially in rural regions, we were surprised that was | :04:35. | :04:38. | |
not more on this Commons vote today to allow fracking in national parks | :04:39. | :04:42. | |
and other areas of outstanding natural beauty. When we set not much | :04:43. | :04:47. | |
coverage, we mean in the papers. We know it has been covered on the BBC. | :04:48. | :04:55. | |
The Commons voted 298-206 to one to allow fracking in national parks | :04:56. | :04:59. | |
even though campaigners have said ministers pledged an outright ban on | :05:00. | :05:04. | |
fracking in national parks as recently as January. The compromise | :05:05. | :05:09. | |
is that the actual rigs will not be allowed in national parks, and the | :05:10. | :05:14. | |
fracking will only be allowed 1.92, matters were the ground. But a lot | :05:15. | :05:19. | |
of campaigners concerned about this extraction of what we call tight oil | :05:20. | :05:25. | |
and gas, is the pumping chemicals and chemical reactions underground | :05:26. | :05:29. | |
to get it out. A very emotive subject. Which you stand? Don't we | :05:30. | :05:35. | |
all think this is near the water table, so instinctively you think | :05:36. | :05:40. | |
this is not a good thing? We are such a polluting... We are already | :05:41. | :05:46. | |
polluting so much... But we need energy for the future. Lots of | :05:47. | :05:50. | |
people feel right now we should have moved on to find something that was | :05:51. | :05:54. | |
not well, and especially not something where you are involved in | :05:55. | :05:58. | |
blasting something to get this out. It is so tightly packed. Given more | :05:59. | :06:06. | |
oil is in regions of the world that are politically difficult, shall we | :06:07. | :06:09. | |
say, there will be more emphasis on this in the UK as they has been in | :06:10. | :06:16. | |
the US. Surely we have moved on? We were supposed to have by this time. | :06:17. | :06:25. | |
I remember reading things you could make energy from. You are showing | :06:26. | :06:32. | |
your age. I think it was 1860. Let's move on to the daily Telegraph. | :06:33. | :06:37. | |
Again on the environment, they say nine out of ten cancers are due to | :06:38. | :06:42. | |
lifestyle, and that includes environmental factors but also | :06:43. | :06:47. | |
smoking, drinking, exposure to the Sun, pollution and so on. It is | :06:48. | :06:52. | |
especially cancers of the breast, prostate and one. -- line. They are | :06:53. | :07:03. | |
talking about up to 90% caused by extrinsic factors, meaning it is not | :07:04. | :07:08. | |
something genetic, lack, but things we have to do. The sad thing is I'm | :07:09. | :07:13. | |
sure there are loads of people who say, here we go again. In other | :07:14. | :07:18. | |
words, stop having fun. The problem is we do like to go out and drink, | :07:19. | :07:26. | |
eat, and instinctively, quite a lot of people find people who are not | :07:27. | :07:34. | |
wanting to go out and have fun and spent five hours in the gym. We | :07:35. | :07:40. | |
think they are not interesting. This debate ebbs and flows. The Telegraph | :07:41. | :07:46. | |
refers to a January study by John Hopkins University, well-respected | :07:47. | :07:50. | |
in the states, saying 65% of cancers are inevitable, in other words they | :07:51. | :07:56. | |
are due to cell mutations, may be genetic, and nothing to do with how | :07:57. | :07:59. | |
you out living a lie. Now we have another study in New York, | :08:00. | :08:09. | |
Washington, which has been published in a magazine, that says it is down | :08:10. | :08:16. | |
to your lifestyle. Skin cancers are caused in a high percentage by the | :08:17. | :08:24. | |
Sun. When you talk about diet, lack of exercise, pollution and stress, | :08:25. | :08:29. | |
stress is a difficult one to deal with. It is difficult to get rid of | :08:30. | :08:35. | |
that. Thank you. Let's talk about the Guardian, because they are | :08:36. | :08:40. | |
focusing on what is the big economic story of the day, the Fed rate rise. | :08:41. | :08:49. | |
It was anticipated, but a lot of papers are calling it historic. | :08:50. | :08:53. | |
Viewers will remember after the crisis in 2008 across the Western | :08:54. | :08:59. | |
world, just rate were slashed. US interest rates have been down at | :09:00. | :09:08. | |
0.25%. Now the Fed have raised rates. It was widely anticipated. | :09:09. | :09:13. | |
Two or three times they have tried to raise them before, but just | :09:14. | :09:19. | |
floating the idea and there were tensions. This response has been | :09:20. | :09:25. | |
widely flagged and therefore it has been calm. It is not a very big | :09:26. | :09:30. | |
rise. It is a tiny rise. When you take it in inflation, US interest | :09:31. | :09:36. | |
rates are now precisely zero. They have gone up to zero, from negative | :09:37. | :09:41. | |
interest rates. This means symbolically the Bank of England is | :09:42. | :09:47. | |
now more likely to raise sooner than it otherwise would. Our interest | :09:48. | :09:51. | |
rates have been down at historic lows since March 2009. Many | :09:52. | :09:56. | |
households have borrowed heavily. The Bank of England brought out a | :09:57. | :10:01. | |
study saying maybe if they'd of British households could become into | :10:02. | :10:07. | |
trouble if rates went up more than 2%. 2% is a lot. Yes, but that would | :10:08. | :10:17. | |
make it 2.5% before sub-prime. Why do they say a quarter of a percent? | :10:18. | :10:25. | |
I don't know, Penny. From now on, I will say a quarter %. It just seems | :10:26. | :10:33. | |
unnecessary to say a quarter of a percent. If you want to sound like a | :10:34. | :10:38. | |
smart Alec, you could say 25 basis points. Gizmo -- there is no | :10:39. | :10:46. | |
inevitability. It does not mean rates will go up. It is symbolic. | :10:47. | :10:55. | |
Psychologically. We will not go in one direction while the Fed those in | :10:56. | :11:01. | |
another. But we could stay the same. Yes, for quite a while. Let's look | :11:02. | :11:05. | |
at the express. They have the dust cloud from the Sahara that could be | :11:06. | :11:11. | |
toxic. We have had them before. Not so close to Christmas. Instead of | :11:12. | :11:17. | |
snow we will get tossed? Where we talk about temperatures of seven | :11:18. | :11:22. | |
degrees for Christmas... The hottest Christmas for half a century. Now | :11:23. | :11:28. | |
they say we have these freakishly warm temperatures. It will be hotter | :11:29. | :11:34. | |
then Sydney. They call it a blood rain. The sand falls from the sky. | :11:35. | :11:41. | |
Of course there is an issue for people who have breathing | :11:42. | :11:44. | |
difficulties. Anything that clogs up the air for anybody already... If | :11:45. | :11:51. | |
you are a asthma sufferer. Deathtrap has issued warnings. -- side. I | :11:52. | :12:02. | |
wonder what the likelihood of a red Christmas is. Let's look at the | :12:03. | :12:09. | |
Telegraph. Bunches of daffodils being collected in a Cornish field | :12:10. | :12:14. | |
to take to supermarkets in time for Christmas. Do you want to put | :12:15. | :12:20. | |
daffodils are up for Christmas? It is very cherry. I'm wearing a | :12:21. | :12:24. | |
cheerful festive scarf, but I should probably wear a canary yellow one. | :12:25. | :12:30. | |
Dress up as a spring chicken. Why not? Put your rid of antlers away. | :12:31. | :12:36. | |
You can't help but feel sorry for nature. You are thinking about | :12:37. | :12:41. | |
hibernating and... Imagine being a bird. You are finding all of these | :12:42. | :12:50. | |
birds. Is it alarming to think it is so warm in December and you are out | :12:51. | :12:54. | |
in a T-shirt? Is it time a change? The thing is, they probably said | :12:55. | :13:00. | |
that in the Ice Age. Do you think it is, change? The dinosaurs as well. | :13:01. | :13:09. | |
What you think? And e-mail. Love and cuddles from Fred and Gladys. | :13:10. | :13:12. | |
Explain what we are talking about here. | :13:13. | :13:25. | |
What a nice photograph! It is a lovely photograph, they both look | :13:26. | :13:34. | |
very happy. That is their Christmas card. It is not very Christmassy and | :13:35. | :13:38. | |
he is not wearing a jacket, but that is OK. Have either of you had | :13:39. | :13:46. | |
Christmas cards from the Royal family? I am always waiting, always | :13:47. | :13:54. | |
anticipating. There will always be a moment. Anything from Fred and | :13:55. | :13:59. | |
Gladys? No, I am not quite a 100 yet. Is that what you meant? No, | :14:00. | :14:08. | |
obviously not. Yours is in the post. I hope your wrist gets better soon. | :14:09. | :14:14. | |
Said why. I haven't hit anybody with it yet. I hope it has recovered in | :14:15. | :14:21. | |
time for... Well, not Christmas, but New Year. I get out of the washing | :14:22. | :14:29. | |
up! Just some news we have had in the past couple of minutes, the US | :14:30. | :14:36. | |
and Cuba have agreed to restore commercial airline flights between | :14:37. | :14:42. | |
America and Cuba. Coming up next, it is time for Sportsday. | :14:43. | :14:48. |
