:00:00. > :00:00.Championship match and action from European rugby, all coming up in
:00:00. > :00:13.Sportsday in the next 15 minutes. Hello and welcome to our look ahead
:00:14. > :00:17.to what the papers will be With me are the former US
:00:18. > :00:21.State Department Official and law professor, Colleen Graffy,
:00:22. > :00:23.and the Political Editor of the Daily Mirror,
:00:24. > :00:42.Jason Beattie. Let's get into the front pages as we
:00:43. > :00:46.have them. Let's kick off, there we go, with Jose Mourinho.
:00:47. > :00:54.Were you a fan? How could you not be? He's gorgeous! Don't hold back!
:00:55. > :00:58.Finding someone that good-looking, it seems a shame after you have done
:00:59. > :01:03.so well, they say the best in 110 years, and after one season, he's
:01:04. > :01:07.out? But there seems to be some personality issues that have arisen
:01:08. > :01:12.and I guess that is part of it but what a shame. Gorgeous but
:01:13. > :01:16.personality issues. Exactly. We discussed this in the newspaper
:01:17. > :01:19.conference today at the daily Mirror and this came up, do we put up a
:01:20. > :01:25.front page and make it the main story? But some women won't like
:01:26. > :01:29.football. But they said, "No, we like him". He does transcend
:01:30. > :01:34.football. He is the superstar manager. This story was what the
:01:35. > :01:40.word schadenfreude was invented for, every other football fan in every
:01:41. > :01:47.other club in Britain is going, "Yes!" The man who traded on his ego
:01:48. > :01:52.has had a spectacular fall. It seems harsh. I'm not a Chelsea fan, I have
:01:53. > :01:55.to say but a man who has won the Premier League title three times,
:01:56. > :01:59.you would think he deserves a bit of time to fail, even one season of
:02:00. > :02:04.failure. What is interesting here, sorry about the football talk! Let's
:02:05. > :02:08.do a bit of Charlton while we are doing this because they don't get
:02:09. > :02:13.mentioned here very often. Part of the whole Jose Mourinho shtick was
:02:14. > :02:19.that he would defend the players by attacking the referee, the
:02:20. > :02:22.opponents, anyone. Doctors! It was almost like he was doing it on
:02:23. > :02:26.purpose to deflect attention from what happened in the dressing room.
:02:27. > :02:32.What has happened is that he has fallen out with the players. Instead
:02:33. > :02:36.of... This act, this ring of steel that he put around them, it is no
:02:37. > :02:46.longer working because it was obviously a major bust up behind the
:02:47. > :02:50.scenes. He's broken the trust. Did he deserve to go? I know you are not
:02:51. > :02:54.a breakable fun. No, I enjoy it, very much so, NFL and British! Is it
:02:55. > :02:59.harsh? A lot of people would say he got them a lot of trophies. It is
:03:00. > :03:05.clear when you have some of the bust up that he has had, in other clubs
:03:06. > :03:07.he's been too as well, not just Chelsea, that it seems to be after
:03:08. > :03:15.two years, something, some black cloud kicks in. I'm not sure what
:03:16. > :03:19.that is. But you can't feel too sorry for him, you will be crying
:03:20. > :03:22.all the way to the bank, ?250,000 per week out of ?10 million while
:03:23. > :03:27.he's looking for a new job. And he will write a book and goodness knows
:03:28. > :03:31.what else. Don't feel too sorry. He could do the paper review sometime!
:03:32. > :03:39.Staying with the Independent, speaking of wealth, one nation or
:03:40. > :03:43.two, priming as do? What do you make of this? This is Alan
:03:44. > :03:45.former Labour Health Secretary who was appointed by David Cameron as
:03:46. > :03:49.the social mobility is, a slightly clunky title, to look at how you
:03:50. > :03:52.improve the life chances of many of the poorest people in this country.
:03:53. > :03:56.He's come out with his annual report and he has hung Cameron Buttle 's
:03:57. > :04:01.Mac words, which the Prime Minister after just after he was re-elected
:04:02. > :04:06.about being a one nation by Minister. -- he has hung Cameron's
:04:07. > :04:14.words. He has said the divide between rich and boys getting wider,
:04:15. > :04:15.has Alan Milburn. But it has been under Tony Blair as well. He said if
:04:16. > :04:20.you want after Sylvia election promise you got to do a lot more.
:04:21. > :04:24.Alan Milburn describes over 1 million children as in persistent
:04:25. > :04:29.poverty. He takes the cities of Norwich and Saint Oldland 's, and
:04:30. > :04:32.says they are 100 miles apart but the life expectancy, the salaries,
:04:33. > :04:38.the fortunes of children in St Albans are so much more better than
:04:39. > :04:43.they are in Norwich. It's not a particularly poor city in itself. As
:04:44. > :04:48.an outsider, Colleen, what do you make of inequality in this country?
:04:49. > :04:52.I have to say, first, the idea that there has been a commission, and
:04:53. > :04:56.this is the third annual review that they are identifying the problems
:04:57. > :05:00.and also, that you have George Osborne focusing on this northern
:05:01. > :05:04.powerhouse, so the government is concentrated on how to crack this.
:05:05. > :05:08.They recognise the problem which is half the battle and they are trying
:05:09. > :05:12.to identify ways of overcoming it. One is to have zero tolerance of
:05:13. > :05:17.schools with for example salts. We have a similar situation in the US.
:05:18. > :05:20.-- with poor exam results. They forced them to become academies and
:05:21. > :05:25.recognise that education is an essential part of getting above the
:05:26. > :05:29.poverty line. And so to work for new teachers getting higher paid,
:05:30. > :05:33.helping provide housing, that is going to be key to changing the gap.
:05:34. > :05:37.But this is the key point. One, these issues are not unique to
:05:38. > :05:41.Britain. There is a massive wealth gap in the US as well. But the
:05:42. > :05:44.majority of solutions Alan Milburn is advocating require a stronger
:05:45. > :05:49.state. They require the government to put more money in. We could
:05:50. > :05:53.debate that all night but we don't have time. Let's talk about the
:05:54. > :05:59.European Union in the Daily Telegraph. David Cameron, a rather
:06:00. > :06:03.good picture of him... Looking stressed! He looks a bit nervous in
:06:04. > :06:14.front of Angela Merkel. She is saying no. The headline says, "Now,
:06:15. > :06:20.Mrs Merkel, about Britain's demand". It's going to be a tough, long night
:06:21. > :06:23.for David Cameron. He's there as we speak. It's going to be difficult
:06:24. > :06:27.for him because he's asking the other European to vote to accept
:06:28. > :06:32.that Britain does not have to give in-kind benefits to citizens from
:06:33. > :06:36.their country coming to Britain. Would we want that reciprocated?
:06:37. > :06:42.Probably not. They are an unlikely to vote for that to happen in
:06:43. > :06:46.Britain. -- not likely. How will he get a deal? There's a lot of talk
:06:47. > :06:51.about compromise. There will have to be a compromise. David Cameron had
:06:52. > :06:54.four key demands and three of them were agreed anyway, although they
:06:55. > :06:58.were pretty woolly, like there would not be a two tear Europe, regarding
:06:59. > :07:03.the single currency, and there would be a new drive to eradicate
:07:04. > :07:06.bureaucracy and red tape which had general agreement. The third one was
:07:07. > :07:10.against ever closer union which was pretty much happening. But the one
:07:11. > :07:14.awkward demand is the one he's going to have to go back on which is the
:07:15. > :07:17.four year ban on migrant benefits. Also on the front page, an
:07:18. > :07:21.extraordinary story about divorce and a computer software blunder
:07:22. > :07:27.which means a lot of couples who have divorced may have to go back
:07:28. > :07:31.through the courts. Yes, if you have divorced in the last 20 months, you
:07:32. > :07:35.want to make sure you read this story, particularly if you were
:07:36. > :07:41.bemused by settlement. And if you used software on the form. If you
:07:42. > :07:44.did it online. They found out they were not taking in some of the debts
:07:45. > :07:48.and liabilities. Interestingly enough, it was a friend of the
:07:49. > :07:54.court, a McKenzie friend who identified this and went back and
:07:55. > :08:00.alerted the Department but it has taken them a while to recognise the
:08:01. > :08:04.software problem. There's only about 20,000 cases but that's a lot. And
:08:05. > :08:09.also, how do you get it back into the hands of the court to revise?
:08:10. > :08:13.It's going to be tricky bureaucracy. Extraordinary. The Financial Times
:08:14. > :08:18.have an interesting story about a whizz kid who has been arrested for
:08:19. > :08:29.running a Ponzi scheme. What is this about? He is in Jose Mourinho's
:08:30. > :08:34.hooded top, by the way. He hit the headlines a few months ago when he
:08:35. > :08:39.bought this pharmaceutical firm and became Chief Executive. He ramped up
:08:40. > :08:43.the costs by 500%, of this drug which was partly used for some HIV
:08:44. > :08:52.AIDS patients to help them. Massive social media backlash. A lot of
:08:53. > :08:55.people will be saying that this is his just reward. He did this
:08:56. > :08:59.horrific thing and maybe he's getting his just deserts. But he is
:09:00. > :09:04.saying that the case against him has no merit. He's just 32. He looked
:09:05. > :09:09.like he was ramping up the cost of this in order to pay back those that
:09:10. > :09:13.were part of the hedge scheme. Allegedly he had all sorts of money
:09:14. > :09:18.in this hedge fund which turned out to be ?700, or dollars or something.
:09:19. > :09:22.So beware, there are so many of these Ponzi schemes and it is all to
:09:23. > :09:26.do with confidence and one thing leading to another. Everyone thought
:09:27. > :09:31.he was a whizz kid and now it looks like it is a house of cards. He's 32
:09:32. > :09:35.and he had a very controversial exit from his previous company and how
:09:36. > :09:40.did he become Chief Executive of another firm? It's an interesting
:09:41. > :09:43.question. Lastly, your favourite, I think, dog owners are being
:09:44. > :09:50.threatened with prosecution if they dress up their pets and their dogs
:09:51. > :09:56.in Christmas outfits. I don't know quite what sort of outfit we are
:09:57. > :10:03.talking about. Things like antlers, Father Christmas outfits. I have to
:10:04. > :10:07.confess, I have a dog. You dress him up as Father Christmas? I don't. The
:10:08. > :10:11.RSPCA is worried about the stress and the trauma for the dog but I'm
:10:12. > :10:17.not sure how traumatic it is for the dog. How have they evaluated this?
:10:18. > :10:21.It could be stressful, it could be embarrassing to walk down the
:10:22. > :10:28.street. The dog is embarrassed? What about the owner was to mark I don't
:10:29. > :10:33.think they get embarrassed. Do dogs have shame? Do you have a dog? I did
:10:34. > :10:37.when I grew up. We did not dress it up. It seems a bit over reaching to
:10:38. > :10:41.see that they will feel unable to express themselves as well as being
:10:42. > :10:44.scared and worried about the unfamiliar clothing. Don't you think
:10:45. > :10:47.dog owners that love their dogs would not do anything that would
:10:48. > :10:55.create any tension question mark they would be the first to recognise
:10:56. > :11:00.that, not the RSPCA. -- any tension? And Christmas jumpers are so last
:11:01. > :11:04.year! Let's not get onto that. Thank you for joining us. We will see you
:11:05. > :11:09.again at 11:30pm. We will be back with more of the front pages then.
:11:10. > :11:15.Stay with us. At 11pm, David Cameron has told one of his proposed key
:11:16. > :11:18.reforms of the UK to stop migrant workers claiming benefits for years
:11:19. > :11:32.is unacceptable. Next, Sportsday. Hello and welcome to Sportsday -
:11:33. > :11:35.I'm Olly Foster, here's what's
