:00:18. > :00:20.Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers

:00:24. > :00:25.and law professor, Colleen Graffy, and the political editor

:00:50. > :01:00.The Sun goes with a story of an elderly women who had over 50

:01:01. > :01:05.rat bites on her body after living in council sheltered accomodation.

:01:06. > :01:09.The Health Secretary has pledged to launch an investigation

:01:10. > :01:14.10,000 asylum seekers have vanished, according to The Express.

:01:15. > :01:18.It says the Home Office has admitted their whereabouts are unknown.

:01:31. > :01:33.And, 'Cameron faces deadlock over EU benefit plan' is The Guardian's take

:01:34. > :01:41.on the Prime Minister's EU negotiations in Brussels.

:01:42. > :01:44.The Mail claims that the scale of migration into the UK

:01:45. > :01:50.is being covered up, as 1.9 million national insurance

:01:51. > :01:53.numbers have been given to EU citizens in four years, while only

:01:54. > :02:06.Let us kick-off with that and staying with the Daily Mail. That

:02:07. > :02:11.meeting with David Cameron seeking those reforms of the EU. It finished

:02:12. > :02:14.about half-an-hour ago and we are waiting to hear from David Cameron,

:02:15. > :02:18.but there is a good picture on the top of the Daily Mail. Not quite a

:02:19. > :02:28.meeting of minds. Actually, let's listen in to David Cameron.

:02:29. > :02:33.This is a pathway to an agreement and I'm confident that after the

:02:34. > :02:37.discussion we have had. But the truth is that it will be hard work,

:02:38. > :02:40.not just on welfare but all of the issues that we have put forward,

:02:41. > :02:43.because they are substantial and they involve real change and they

:02:44. > :02:48.will need real decisions by all 28 members of the EU. I think that you

:02:49. > :02:55.can see from the conclusions published tonight, the nature of the

:02:56. > :02:59.progress. The conclusions make very clear that the European Council

:03:00. > :03:03.agreed to work closely together to find a mutually satisfactory

:03:04. > :03:13.solutions in all of the 4 areas at the meeting. Really good progress

:03:14. > :03:16.has been made but it is going to be tough. That is because we are

:03:17. > :03:20.attempting something very difficult, attempting something that

:03:21. > :03:23.has not been tried before or tried by another country, and that is to

:03:24. > :03:27.renegotiate our position inside this EU at a time of our choosing with a

:03:28. > :03:38.mandate of the British people behind us.

:03:39. > :03:44.Sorry about that. We seem to have lost that footage. We got the gist

:03:45. > :03:48.of what he was saying, actually, which is that he believes he has

:03:49. > :03:52.made really good progress but also that it is going to be tough going.

:03:53. > :03:56.He had been presenting those demands, those British demands, to

:03:57. > :04:01.his fellow EU leaders. As talks ended about half-an-hour ago. We

:04:02. > :04:03.would just reviewing the papers. I think we will go back to the Prime

:04:04. > :04:11.Minister now in Brussels. Adding to prosperity, which is one

:04:12. > :04:17.of the baskets I'm proposing is all about. And they want to know that

:04:18. > :04:23.this organisation is not creating unsustainable pressure on

:04:24. > :04:28.migration. I would say that what has happened today is that we have taken

:04:29. > :04:31.a big step forward for a better deal for Britain but there is still a lot

:04:32. > :04:36.of hard work to be done and it is going to have to be done between now

:04:37. > :04:40.and February 18. But there is a path through this to a better deal for

:04:41. > :04:43.Britain and I think that is good progress tonight, but as I say, a

:04:44. > :04:54.lot of hard work ahead of us. I have time for some questions. Sky News.

:04:55. > :05:02.Faisal Islam, Sky News. Was 20 change discussed in the near-term?

:05:03. > :05:05.-- treaty change. Was any other alternative to your welfare plan put

:05:06. > :05:10.on the table by yourself or any of the other 27 members? On treaty

:05:11. > :05:15.change, what I have always said is that it matters that change is

:05:16. > :05:18.legally and if treaty changes necessary, and I believe that it is,

:05:19. > :05:21.there should be a way to deliver that. That was discussed and I

:05:22. > :05:25.believe there is a good way through that. Angela Merkel has had a few

:05:26. > :05:30.things to say about that and it has well. In terms of welfare, I have

:05:31. > :05:35.not put any other proposals on the table top I put my proposal on the

:05:36. > :05:40.table at the table. The commission said they believed there were

:05:41. > :05:45.solutions. Not compromises but solutions. But I'm involved in a

:05:46. > :05:50.negotiation. My proposal remains on the table but I'm confident after

:05:51. > :05:53.tonight that we can find solutions and solutions, as the EU itself has

:05:54. > :06:09.put it, solutions in all four areas. Laura from the BBC.

:06:10. > :06:14.INAUDIBLE. Thank you. You came here saying that you wanted a real sense

:06:15. > :06:18.of momentum. Instead, we are hearing from other leaders tonight and from

:06:19. > :06:22.yourself messages about hard work and come from ice is still being

:06:23. > :06:26.required. That is not a sense of momentum but more the same. -- and

:06:27. > :06:33.compromises still be required. Not at all. You can have momentum and

:06:34. > :06:37.hard work. Donald Tusk has just come out today, saying he was very

:06:38. > :06:41.optimistic. Jean-Claude Juncker has its solutions are inside. Angela

:06:42. > :06:46.Merkel says we can find answers. There is momentum. There is enormous

:06:47. > :06:53.support in the room for finding changes to keep Britain in the EU. I

:06:54. > :06:57.think almost every person who spoke said that the EU is stronger with

:06:58. > :07:02.Britain in and we are better off in that way, so people want to find

:07:03. > :07:06.solutions. There is political will, there is momentum, but there is a

:07:07. > :07:10.lot of hard work to be done. I think it is notable that the conclusions

:07:11. > :07:13.published in a great night that we want to find satisfactory solutions

:07:14. > :07:20.in all four areas, that I think is a... I'm not saying this is not

:07:21. > :07:24.hard. It is hard. It is very hard. And it is going to take a lot of

:07:25. > :07:27.work. It is not just the welfare that is difficult. You are trying to

:07:28. > :07:31.bring about all the changes to make Europe competitive. That is hard

:07:32. > :07:35.work. Trying to make sure that national parliaments can get

:07:36. > :07:40.together and stop... That is hard work. But I have worked very hard at

:07:41. > :07:46.this travelling all across Europe and meeting leaders, having this

:07:47. > :07:49.discussion tonight, and I think there is a pathway through and that

:07:50. > :07:55.is why I'm saying that I think it has been a good discussion. Prime

:07:56. > :08:01.Minister, Prime Minister... From the Guardian? You are not from the

:08:02. > :08:07.Guardian any more! Good. That is a relief. They promoted me. Very

:08:08. > :08:11.briefly, the French president has said that you talked about a

:08:12. > :08:18.referendum in the middle of next year. Is that correct? Is that still

:08:19. > :08:23.your objective? Was a proposal of an emergency brake or shorter timescale

:08:24. > :08:33.in terms of a ban of EU migrants who was accessed welfare discussed? --

:08:34. > :08:39.EU migrants' access to welfare. I did not discuss that at all. I did

:08:40. > :08:42.not mention referendum timing. The commission said that they believe

:08:43. > :08:47.the work solutions, not compromises but solutions, on welfare and I

:08:48. > :08:53.thought that was interesting. My proposal remains on the table. This

:08:54. > :08:56.is a negotiation, a negotiation, but I thought that was an interesting

:08:57. > :09:01.phrase that they use. One last question. ITV. James. Prime

:09:02. > :09:04.Minister, given the amount of work is it still has to be done and the

:09:05. > :09:10.apparent intransigence up until now the other 27, how would you rate the

:09:11. > :09:14.chances of getting a deal done by February and thus the possibility of

:09:15. > :09:19.a referendum this year? I think, as I put it, that nothing is certain in

:09:20. > :09:22.life or in Brussels. But what I would say is that there was a

:09:23. > :09:27.pathway through this to a deal in February. It will take a lot of hard

:09:28. > :09:30.work but what I picked up tonight in the room was that there is a lot of

:09:31. > :09:34.goodwill and there is momentum. People want a deal that will keep

:09:35. > :09:38.Britain in the EU by giving us the opportunity in our referendum. But a

:09:39. > :09:42.great deal has to be done between now and then. In the end, tonight,

:09:43. > :09:46.what has been agreed after a substantial discussion is that we

:09:47. > :09:48.need agreement on all of those areas and we have seen lead after leader

:09:49. > :09:54.coming out and saying, yes, it is hard this is difficult, but there is

:09:55. > :09:58.momentum and we do want to get this fixed. And with that spirit, I will

:09:59. > :10:02.do everything I can to get this fixed because I want Britain to have

:10:03. > :10:04.a better deal. That is what this is about. And I think we have taken a

:10:05. > :10:12.step towards a better deal tonight. And there was the Prime Minister,

:10:13. > :10:18.saying really good progress but it will be tough. He said that in

:10:19. > :10:24.different ways several times. We also saw the prime ministerial seal

:10:25. > :10:31.going wonky. That will make all of the outline. Is Britain going wonky?

:10:32. > :10:35.How unfortunate. He's pretty confident. He said everybody was

:10:36. > :10:42.supportive of Britain but he said there was a lot of work still to

:10:43. > :10:45.do. When he popped out, we were reviewing the papers and the Daily

:10:46. > :10:49.Mail do have that front page saying it was not quite a meeting of

:10:50. > :10:54.minds... And he will not like that picture of him and Angela Merkel

:10:55. > :10:59.looking rather horrified at each other. There will be some late-night

:11:00. > :11:06.rewriting of some of these Tories, I think. His -- some of these stories.

:11:07. > :11:08.He is quite confident and you can tell that because he has arranged

:11:09. > :11:15.this press conference quite quickly. There is a lot of bravado.

:11:16. > :11:18.He has said I'm working very hard to get a deal, the deal is very hard

:11:19. > :11:23.work, I'm working even harder to get it. He is repeating himself but much

:11:24. > :11:28.of this is because he has to show the eurosceptics at home but what he

:11:29. > :11:33.is getting is a significant change. It is all about perception, really?

:11:34. > :11:38.Yes. Also that he emphasise we would get a deal on all four areas. We

:11:39. > :11:42.think three are pretty much in the bag but by emphasising all four, he

:11:43. > :11:47.is skating over the fact that one of them, the migration issue, is going

:11:48. > :11:49.to be the most difficult one. And watch in countries like Poland and

:11:50. > :11:53.Hungary and Slovakia and the Czech Republic thought to have fewer

:11:54. > :12:00.benefits or no benefits for their citizens that are coming to the UK?

:12:01. > :12:02.Frankly, the UK is an attractive place to work when you have good

:12:03. > :12:10.benefits and the potential for jobs, and so Britain does have that

:12:11. > :12:14.attraction, which is good, because the economy is doing better than

:12:15. > :12:18.other countries. But the downside is it is costing a lot. He said no

:12:19. > :12:25.compromises but there is wriggle room for having a ban on benefits

:12:26. > :12:28.than four. If we go on to the Times, the story on David Cameron

:12:29. > :12:33.backtracking on the migrant benefit cap... As you say, Jason, those

:12:34. > :12:37.stories are likely to be rewritten now. But they quote of the Belgian

:12:38. > :12:40.Prime Minister as saying that Cameron's starting point will

:12:41. > :12:44.certainly not be the destination. In other words, what he has set out to

:12:45. > :12:51.achieve will not be exactly what is achieved. Listen to the language. He

:12:52. > :12:55.said he has presented his proposals. There will be solutions, he said.

:12:56. > :13:03.Solutions is such a vague word. It leaves him open for softening,

:13:04. > :13:07.massaging that policy. There was one main thing that has come up

:13:08. > :13:11.tonight. Angela Merkel has, and said that there is a possible way forward

:13:12. > :13:16.here but it will require treaty change. -- Angela Merkel has come

:13:17. > :13:21.out and said. The timing of this referendum is still unclear but it

:13:22. > :13:24.must be done before 2017. If the treaty change is going to happen

:13:25. > :13:29.before or after the referendum, that is crucial. Because people won't

:13:30. > :13:33.know what they are voting for. How do you know you will achieve this?

:13:34. > :13:39.And treaty change will take a while? From the perspective of other

:13:40. > :13:42.leaders, they are dealing with the migrant crisis, they are dealing

:13:43. > :13:45.with the terror threat, and here is David Cameron saying he wants to

:13:46. > :13:52.change this and that. Do they see that as an irritant? I think they

:13:53. > :13:55.recognise that the Prime Minister has a very difficult situation on

:13:56. > :14:00.his hands and that the support for the EU is wafer thin in some areas.

:14:01. > :14:06.They don't want Britain to leave the EU. They are helping him. They

:14:07. > :14:10.wanted because it does not benefit Hungary, the Czech Republic or

:14:11. > :14:15.Slovakia is Britain is not part of the EU. -- they want to help

:14:16. > :14:21.because. But it is for most of them are tertiary issue. Not top of the

:14:22. > :14:27.agenda. But they know they have to address it. But it is top of David

:14:28. > :14:30.Cameron's agenda. They had 30 minutes as they ate a meal of

:14:31. > :14:38.venison this evening to listen to David Cameron but the real crunch

:14:39. > :14:45.meeting is in February. This was the entree. When the buns and start

:14:46. > :14:56.getting thrown and it soon gets built, that is February.

:14:57. > :15:05.The other big story of the day is Jose Mourinho. How can you not be a

:15:06. > :15:10.fan of him? If you are not a Chelsea fan you might not be. He is an

:15:11. > :15:13.attractive gentleman. Not that you want to date him because he seems to

:15:14. > :15:19.have some personal demon is that seemed to be causing his downfall,

:15:20. > :15:22.and it is unfortunate because he has a spectacular record, Chelsea fans

:15:23. > :15:26.adore him and I think they are very disappointed about what has taken

:15:27. > :15:29.place. But it just became untenable, as we were discussing

:15:30. > :15:35.earlier, the players seem to have lost faith, and that doesn't bode

:15:36. > :15:44.well. I was talking to a couple of sports journalists who have met him,

:15:45. > :15:49.and his public persona as being a bit self obsessed and brash is

:15:50. > :15:54.actually not what he is like. I heard it was an act he put on partly

:15:55. > :15:57.to protect his players. If a match went badly for him he would come out

:15:58. > :16:04.and blame everybody from the referee to the ballboy, to the way the grass

:16:05. > :16:09.was cut. But actually it was deflecting attention from how the

:16:10. > :16:16.players perform. What has happened here is they have turned against

:16:17. > :16:20.him. But why? There is a very good lesson here. A lot of it stems back

:16:21. > :16:25.to the way he treated the Chelsea Dock, who came onto the pitch to

:16:26. > :16:30.help Eden Hazard, and he complained, saying she could have

:16:31. > :16:35.lost a match for them. I think there was a lot of affection for her, and

:16:36. > :16:40.that was arrogance towards one of their own. This is one of the

:16:41. > :16:43.wealthiest football clubs in the world, and with all their money, if

:16:44. > :16:48.they can fall from grace, then anybody can. Before we start

:16:49. > :16:52.gloating too much, all the other big clubs start going, this is a lot of

:16:53. > :17:00.fun, they should be worried about it as well. In the end, the players are

:17:01. > :17:05.more powerful than the manager. No, the most powerful thing here is

:17:06. > :17:08.money. That you can get rid of the manager, you won't get rid of all of

:17:09. > :17:11.your players. It seems to have been a question of one or the other.

:17:12. > :17:18.Either you get rid of the team or the manager. This is a club that can

:17:19. > :17:23.only exist if it keeps playing in the Champions League. It has global

:17:24. > :17:31.brands, logos everywhere, the shirt sales, everything. It seems sad

:17:32. > :17:37.after five months of a bad season, after he has been fantastic for

:17:38. > :17:42.years, from Porto to Real Madrid. He has won the league for Chelsea three

:17:43. > :17:50.times, you would think that that much success, maybe you would be

:17:51. > :18:00.afforded a little bit of grace. He is absolutely brilliant. He makes

:18:01. > :18:05.great copy. He sells newspapers. You would think that perhaps he would be

:18:06. > :18:08.afforded a little bit of time to fail, one season's failure after all

:18:09. > :18:14.that success might not be too much to ask. I think he had this little

:18:15. > :18:19.cloud hanging over him after several... There is some form, so

:18:20. > :18:25.this time around it was too much. Let's move on to the Times, and they

:18:26. > :18:30.are talking about the weather, which is extraordinary at the moment.

:18:31. > :18:37.We're not talking about the holy and the Ivy for Christmas, we are about

:18:38. > :18:43.daffodils. It is so warm. It is a shame, because it used to be said

:18:44. > :18:48.that I was going to California for the winter, people would say, pretty

:18:49. > :18:52.soon it will be... Yes, we have the same here. It will be the hottest

:18:53. > :18:59.year on record, and it certainly has been mild. Is that climate change

:19:00. > :19:05.will just another year? It is El Nino, but it is exacerbated by

:19:06. > :19:08.man-made emissions,. El Nino is a cyclical weather phenomenon that we

:19:09. > :19:11.are used to everywhere in the world, but there certainly is a

:19:12. > :19:15.contribution from man-made emissions. This puts us about one

:19:16. > :19:23.degree over where we were in preindustrial times, and of course

:19:24. > :19:29.Copp 21 is looking at under two degrees, close to 1.5. This is not

:19:30. > :19:35.just going to warm the climate, it is more unsettled weather, more

:19:36. > :19:42.rain, it is much more diverse than people realise. It is interesting

:19:43. > :19:46.because climate change is a difficult thing for a lot of people

:19:47. > :19:50.to quantify. But when they feel it personally, perhaps walking around

:19:51. > :19:54.at the moment, you can just about go out in the T-shirt and see daffodils

:19:55. > :19:59.coming out of the ground. You suddenly think, maybe this is quite

:20:00. > :20:02.strange. A lot of it will come down to adaptation rather than

:20:03. > :20:07.litigation. Everyone is working on how they are going to reduce

:20:08. > :20:10.greenhouse gases, but also the fact that we are not going to be able to

:20:11. > :20:20.do enough quickly enough, so how do you adapt, so we will see champagne

:20:21. > :20:25.growing in England, for example. The Guardian has a story about George

:20:26. > :20:31.Osborne giving out some pretty big pay rises, allegedly to people

:20:32. > :20:36.around him. What is interesting about this is it was the last day of

:20:37. > :20:45.Parliament today, and the government released 424 pieces of information.

:20:46. > :20:50.Normally they release about 100. There was all sorts of bad news,

:20:51. > :20:56.which they tried to cover up in this blizzard of announcements, and this

:20:57. > :20:59.is the one that has made the headlines, about how George Osborne

:21:00. > :21:04.is giving his spin doctor, the person charged with making him

:21:05. > :21:11.presentable in the news, a 40% pay rise. You wonder whether she got the

:21:12. > :21:15.money deserved. Let's go on to the Telegraph and an interesting story

:21:16. > :21:19.about divorce, and a software blunder where if you were getting

:21:20. > :21:24.divorced and you fill in a form online about your assets and

:21:25. > :21:31.liabilities, actually the computer got it all horribly wrong and you

:21:32. > :21:33.may have to go back to the courts. There are about 20,000 individuals
