Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers | :00:18. | :00:20. | |
With me are the former US State Department official | :00:21. | :00:23. | |
and law professor, Colleen Graffy, and the political editor | :00:24. | :00:25. | |
The FT leads with Bank of England Governor, Mark Carney, who may serve | :00:26. | :00:30. | |

He's the Independent's main picture but they lead with the social | :00:38. | :00:44. | |

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

And, 'Cameron faces deadlock over EU benefit plan' is The Guardian's take | :01:31. | :01:33. | |
on the Prime Minister's EU negotiations in Brussels. | :01:34. | :01:41. | |
The Mail claims that the scale of migration into the UK | :01:42. | :01:44. | |
is being covered up, as 1.9 million national insurance | :01:45. | :01:50. | |
numbers have been given to EU citizens in four years, while only | :01:51. | :01:53. | |
Let us kick-off with that and staying with the Daily Mail. That | :01:54. | :02:06. | |
meeting with David Cameron seeking those reforms of the EU. It finished | :02:07. | :02:11. | |
about half-an-hour ago and we are waiting to hear from David Cameron, | :02:12. | :02:14. | |
but there is a good picture on the top of the Daily Mail. Not quite a | :02:15. | :02:18. | |
meeting of minds. Actually, let's listen in to David Cameron. | :02:19. | :02:28. | |
This is a pathway to an agreement and I'm confident that after the | :02:29. | :02:33. | |
discussion we have had. But the truth is that it will be hard work, | :02:34. | :02:37. | |
not just on welfare but all of the issues that we have put forward, | :02:38. | :02:40. | |
because they are substantial and they involve real change and they | :02:41. | :02:43. | |
will need real decisions by all 28 members of the EU. I think that you | :02:44. | :02:48. | |
can see from the conclusions published tonight, the nature of the | :02:49. | :02:55. | |
progress. The conclusions make very clear that the European Council | :02:56. | :02:59. | |
agreed to work closely together to find a mutually satisfactory | :03:00. | :03:03. | |
solutions in all of the 4 areas at the meeting. Really good progress | :03:04. | :03:13. | |
has been made but it is going to be tough. That is because we are | :03:14. | :03:16. | |
attempting something very difficult, attempting something that | :03:17. | :03:20. | |
has not been tried before or tried by another country, and that is to | :03:21. | :03:23. | |
renegotiate our position inside this EU at a time of our choosing with a | :03:24. | :03:27. | |
mandate of the British people behind us. | :03:28. | :03:38. | |
Sorry about that. We seem to have lost that footage. We got the gist | :03:39. | :03:44. | |
of what he was saying, actually, which is that he believes he has | :03:45. | :03:48. | |
made really good progress but also that it is going to be tough going. | :03:49. | :03:52. | |
He had been presenting those demands, those British demands, to | :03:53. | :03:56. | |
his fellow EU leaders. As talks ended about half-an-hour ago. We | :03:57. | :04:01. | |
would just reviewing the papers. I think we will go back to the Prime | :04:02. | :04:03. | |
Minister now in Brussels. Adding to prosperity, which is one | :04:04. | :04:11. | |
of the baskets I'm proposing is all about. And they want to know that | :04:12. | :04:17. | |
this organisation is not creating unsustainable pressure on | :04:18. | :04:23. | |
migration. I would say that what has happened today is that we have taken | :04:24. | :04:28. | |
a big step forward for a better deal for Britain but there is still a lot | :04:29. | :04:31. | |
of hard work to be done and it is going to have to be done between now | :04:32. | :04:36. | |
and February 18. But there is a path through this to a better deal for | :04:37. | :04:40. | |
Britain and I think that is good progress tonight, but as I say, a | :04:41. | :04:43. | |
lot of hard work ahead of us. I have time for some questions. Sky News. | :04:44. | :04:54. | |
Faisal Islam, Sky News. Was 20 change discussed in the near-term? | :04:55. | :05:02. | |
-- treaty change. Was any other alternative to your welfare plan put | :05:03. | :05:05. | |
on the table by yourself or any of the other 27 members? On treaty | :05:06. | :05:10. | |
change, what I have always said is that it matters that change is | :05:11. | :05:15. | |
legally and if treaty changes necessary, and I believe that it is, | :05:16. | :05:18. | |
there should be a way to deliver that. That was discussed and I | :05:19. | :05:21. | |
believe there is a good way through that. Angela Merkel has had a few | :05:22. | :05:25. | |
things to say about that and it has well. In terms of welfare, I have | :05:26. | :05:30. | |
not put any other proposals on the table top I put my proposal on the | :05:31. | :05:35. | |
table at the table. The commission said they believed there were | :05:36. | :05:40. | |
solutions. Not compromises but solutions. But I'm involved in a | :05:41. | :05:45. | |
negotiation. My proposal remains on the table but I'm confident after | :05:46. | :05:50. | |
tonight that we can find solutions and solutions, as the EU itself has | :05:51. | :05:53. | |
put it, solutions in all four areas. Laura from the BBC. | :05:54. | :06:09. | |
INAUDIBLE. Thank you. You came here saying that you wanted a real sense | :06:10. | :06:14. | |
of momentum. Instead, we are hearing from other leaders tonight and from | :06:15. | :06:18. | |
yourself messages about hard work and come from ice is still being | :06:19. | :06:22. | |
required. That is not a sense of momentum but more the same. -- and | :06:23. | :06:26. | |
compromises still be required. Not at all. You can have momentum and | :06:27. | :06:33. | |
hard work. Donald Tusk has just come out today, saying he was very | :06:34. | :06:37. | |
optimistic. Jean-Claude Juncker has its solutions are inside. Angela | :06:38. | :06:41. | |
Merkel says we can find answers. There is momentum. There is enormous | :06:42. | :06:46. | |
support in the room for finding changes to keep Britain in the EU. I | :06:47. | :06:53. | |
think almost every person who spoke said that the EU is stronger with | :06:54. | :06:57. | |
Britain in and we are better off in that way, so people want to find | :06:58. | :07:02. | |
solutions. There is political will, there is momentum, but there is a | :07:03. | :07:06. | |
lot of hard work to be done. I think it is notable that the conclusions | :07:07. | :07:10. | |
published in a great night that we want to find satisfactory solutions | :07:11. | :07:13. | |
in all four areas, that I think is a... I'm not saying this is not | :07:14. | :07:20. | |
hard. It is hard. It is very hard. And it is going to take a lot of | :07:21. | :07:24. | |
work. It is not just the welfare that is difficult. You are trying to | :07:25. | :07:27. | |
bring about all the changes to make Europe competitive. That is hard | :07:28. | :07:31. | |
work. Trying to make sure that national parliaments can get | :07:32. | :07:35. | |
together and stop... That is hard work. But I have worked very hard at | :07:36. | :07:40. | |
this travelling all across Europe and meeting leaders, having this | :07:41. | :07:46. | |
discussion tonight, and I think there is a pathway through and that | :07:47. | :07:49. | |
is why I'm saying that I think it has been a good discussion. Prime | :07:50. | :07:55. | |
Minister, Prime Minister... From the Guardian? You are not from the | :07:56. | :08:01. | |
Guardian any more! Good. That is a relief. They promoted me. Very | :08:02. | :08:07. | |
briefly, the French president has said that you talked about a | :08:08. | :08:11. | |
referendum in the middle of next year. Is that correct? Is that still | :08:12. | :08:18. | |
your objective? Was a proposal of an emergency brake or shorter timescale | :08:19. | :08:23. | |
in terms of a ban of EU migrants who was accessed welfare discussed? -- | :08:24. | :08:33. | |
EU migrants' access to welfare. I did not discuss that at all. I did | :08:34. | :08:39. | |
not mention referendum timing. The commission said that they believe | :08:40. | :08:42. | |
the work solutions, not compromises but solutions, on welfare and I | :08:43. | :08:47. | |
thought that was interesting. My proposal remains on the table. This | :08:48. | :08:53. | |
is a negotiation, a negotiation, but I thought that was an interesting | :08:54. | :08:56. | |
phrase that they use. One last question. ITV. James. Prime | :08:57. | :09:01. | |
Minister, given the amount of work is it still has to be done and the | :09:02. | :09:04. | |
apparent intransigence up until now the other 27, how would you rate the | :09:05. | :09:10. | |
chances of getting a deal done by February and thus the possibility of | :09:11. | :09:14. | |
a referendum this year? I think, as I put it, that nothing is certain in | :09:15. | :09:19. | |
life or in Brussels. But what I would say is that there was a | :09:20. | :09:22. | |
pathway through this to a deal in February. It will take a lot of hard | :09:23. | :09:27. | |
work but what I picked up tonight in the room was that there is a lot of | :09:28. | :09:30. | |
goodwill and there is momentum. People want a deal that will keep | :09:31. | :09:34. | |
Britain in the EU by giving us the opportunity in our referendum. But a | :09:35. | :09:38. | |
great deal has to be done between now and then. In the end, tonight, | :09:39. | :09:42. | |
what has been agreed after a substantial discussion is that we | :09:43. | :09:46. | |
need agreement on all of those areas and we have seen lead after leader | :09:47. | :09:48. | |
coming out and saying, yes, it is hard this is difficult, but there is | :09:49. | :09:54. | |
momentum and we do want to get this fixed. And with that spirit, I will | :09:55. | :09:58. | |
do everything I can to get this fixed because I want Britain to have | :09:59. | :10:02. | |
a better deal. That is what this is about. And I think we have taken a | :10:03. | :10:04. | |
step towards a better deal tonight. And there was the Prime Minister, | :10:05. | :10:12. | |
saying really good progress but it will be tough. He said that in | :10:13. | :10:18. | |
different ways several times. We also saw the prime ministerial seal | :10:19. | :10:24. | |
going wonky. That will make all of the outline. Is Britain going wonky? | :10:25. | :10:31. | |
How unfortunate. He's pretty confident. He said everybody was | :10:32. | :10:35. | |
supportive of Britain but he said there was a lot of work still to | :10:36. | :10:42. | |
do. When he popped out, we were reviewing the papers and the Daily | :10:43. | :10:45. | |
Mail do have that front page saying it was not quite a meeting of | :10:46. | :10:49. | |
minds... And he will not like that picture of him and Angela Merkel | :10:50. | :10:54. | |
looking rather horrified at each other. There will be some late-night | :10:55. | :10:59. | |
rewriting of some of these Tories, I think. His -- some of these stories. | :11:00. | :11:06. | |
He is quite confident and you can tell that because he has arranged | :11:07. | :11:08. | |
this press conference quite quickly. There is a lot of bravado. | :11:09. | :11:15. | |
He has said I'm working very hard to get a deal, the deal is very hard | :11:16. | :11:18. | |
work, I'm working even harder to get it. He is repeating himself but much | :11:19. | :11:23. | |
of this is because he has to show the eurosceptics at home but what he | :11:24. | :11:28. | |
is getting is a significant change. It is all about perception, really? | :11:29. | :11:33. | |
Yes. Also that he emphasise we would get a deal on all four areas. We | :11:34. | :11:38. | |
think three are pretty much in the bag but by emphasising all four, he | :11:39. | :11:42. | |
is skating over the fact that one of them, the migration issue, is going | :11:43. | :11:47. | |
to be the most difficult one. And watch in countries like Poland and | :11:48. | :11:49. | |
Hungary and Slovakia and the Czech Republic thought to have fewer | :11:50. | :11:53. | |
benefits or no benefits for their citizens that are coming to the UK? | :11:54. | :12:00. | |
Frankly, the UK is an attractive place to work when you have good | :12:01. | :12:02. | |
benefits and the potential for jobs, and so Britain does have that | :12:03. | :12:10. | |
attraction, which is good, because the economy is doing better than | :12:11. | :12:14. | |
other countries. But the downside is it is costing a lot. He said no | :12:15. | :12:18. | |
compromises but there is wriggle room for having a ban on benefits | :12:19. | :12:25. | |
than four. If we go on to the Times, the story on David Cameron | :12:26. | :12:28. | |
backtracking on the migrant benefit cap... As you say, Jason, those | :12:29. | :12:33. | |
stories are likely to be rewritten now. But they quote of the Belgian | :12:34. | :12:37. | |
Prime Minister as saying that Cameron's starting point will | :12:38. | :12:40. | |
certainly not be the destination. In other words, what he has set out to | :12:41. | :12:44. | |
achieve will not be exactly what is achieved. Listen to the language. He | :12:45. | :12:51. | |
said he has presented his proposals. There will be solutions, he said. | :12:52. | :12:55. | |
Solutions is such a vague word. It leaves him open for softening, | :12:56. | :13:03. | |
massaging that policy. There was one main thing that has come up | :13:04. | :13:07. | |
tonight. Angela Merkel has, and said that there is a possible way forward | :13:08. | :13:11. | |
here but it will require treaty change. -- Angela Merkel has come | :13:12. | :13:16. | |
out and said. The timing of this referendum is still unclear but it | :13:17. | :13:21. | |
must be done before 2017. If the treaty change is going to happen | :13:22. | :13:24. | |
before or after the referendum, that is crucial. Because people won't | :13:25. | :13:29. | |
know what they are voting for. How do you know you will achieve this? | :13:30. | :13:33. | |
And treaty change will take a while? From the perspective of other | :13:34. | :13:39. | |
leaders, they are dealing with the migrant crisis, they are dealing | :13:40. | :13:42. | |
with the terror threat, and here is David Cameron saying he wants to | :13:43. | :13:45. | |
change this and that. Do they see that as an irritant? I think they | :13:46. | :13:52. | |
recognise that the Prime Minister has a very difficult situation on | :13:53. | :13:55. | |
his hands and that the support for the EU is wafer thin in some areas. | :13:56. | :14:00. | |
They don't want Britain to leave the EU. They are helping him. They | :14:01. | :14:06. | |
wanted because it does not benefit Hungary, the Czech Republic or | :14:07. | :14:10. | |
Slovakia is Britain is not part of the EU. -- they want to help | :14:11. | :14:15. | |
because. But it is for most of them are tertiary issue. Not top of the | :14:16. | :14:21. | |
agenda. But they know they have to address it. But it is top of David | :14:22. | :14:27. | |
Cameron's agenda. They had 30 minutes as they ate a meal of | :14:28. | :14:30. | |
venison this evening to listen to David Cameron but the real crunch | :14:31. | :14:38. | |
meeting is in February. This was the entree. When the buns and start | :14:39. | :14:45. | |
getting thrown and it soon gets built, that is February. | :14:46. | :14:56. | |
The other big story of the day is Jose Mourinho. How can you not be a | :14:57. | :15:05. | |
fan of him? If you are not a Chelsea fan you might not be. He is an | :15:06. | :15:10. | |
attractive gentleman. Not that you want to date him because he seems to | :15:11. | :15:13. | |
have some personal demon is that seemed to be causing his downfall, | :15:14. | :15:19. | |
and it is unfortunate because he has a spectacular record, Chelsea fans | :15:20. | :15:22. | |
adore him and I think they are very disappointed about what has taken | :15:23. | :15:26. | |
place. But it just became untenable, as we were discussing | :15:27. | :15:29. | |
earlier, the players seem to have lost faith, and that doesn't bode | :15:30. | :15:35. | |
well. I was talking to a couple of sports journalists who have met him, | :15:36. | :15:44. | |
and his public persona as being a bit self obsessed and brash is | :15:45. | :15:49. | |
actually not what he is like. I heard it was an act he put on partly | :15:50. | :15:54. | |
to protect his players. If a match went badly for him he would come out | :15:55. | :15:57. | |
and blame everybody from the referee to the ballboy, to the way the grass | :15:58. | :16:04. | |
was cut. But actually it was deflecting attention from how the | :16:05. | :16:09. | |
players perform. What has happened here is they have turned against | :16:10. | :16:16. | |
him. But why? There is a very good lesson here. A lot of it stems back | :16:17. | :16:20. | |
to the way he treated the Chelsea Dock, who came onto the pitch to | :16:21. | :16:25. | |
help Eden Hazard, and he complained, saying she could have | :16:26. | :16:30. | |
lost a match for them. I think there was a lot of affection for her, and | :16:31. | :16:35. | |
that was arrogance towards one of their own. This is one of the | :16:36. | :16:40. | |
wealthiest football clubs in the world, and with all their money, if | :16:41. | :16:43. | |
they can fall from grace, then anybody can. Before we start | :16:44. | :16:48. | |
gloating too much, all the other big clubs start going, this is a lot of | :16:49. | :16:52. | |
fun, they should be worried about it as well. In the end, the players are | :16:53. | :17:00. | |
more powerful than the manager. No, the most powerful thing here is | :17:01. | :17:05. | |
money. That you can get rid of the manager, you won't get rid of all of | :17:06. | :17:08. | |
your players. It seems to have been a question of one or the other. | :17:09. | :17:11. | |
Either you get rid of the team or the manager. This is a club that can | :17:12. | :17:18. | |
only exist if it keeps playing in the Champions League. It has global | :17:19. | :17:23. | |
brands, logos everywhere, the shirt sales, everything. It seems sad | :17:24. | :17:31. | |
after five months of a bad season, after he has been fantastic for | :17:32. | :17:37. | |
years, from Porto to Real Madrid. He has won the league for Chelsea three | :17:38. | :17:42. | |
times, you would think that that much success, maybe you would be | :17:43. | :17:50. | |
afforded a little bit of grace. He is absolutely brilliant. He makes | :17:51. | :18:00. | |
great copy. He sells newspapers. You would think that perhaps he would be | :18:01. | :18:05. | |
afforded a little bit of time to fail, one season's failure after all | :18:06. | :18:08. | |
that success might not be too much to ask. I think he had this little | :18:09. | :18:14. | |
cloud hanging over him after several... There is some form, so | :18:15. | :18:19. | |
this time around it was too much. Let's move on to the Times, and they | :18:20. | :18:25. | |
are talking about the weather, which is extraordinary at the moment. | :18:26. | :18:30. | |
We're not talking about the holy and the Ivy for Christmas, we are about | :18:31. | :18:37. | |
daffodils. It is so warm. It is a shame, because it used to be said | :18:38. | :18:43. | |
that I was going to California for the winter, people would say, pretty | :18:44. | :18:48. | |
soon it will be... Yes, we have the same here. It will be the hottest | :18:49. | :18:52. | |
year on record, and it certainly has been mild. Is that climate change | :18:53. | :18:59. | |
will just another year? It is El Nino, but it is exacerbated by | :19:00. | :19:05. | |
man-made emissions,. El Nino is a cyclical weather phenomenon that we | :19:06. | :19:08. | |
are used to everywhere in the world, but there certainly is a | :19:09. | :19:11. | |
contribution from man-made emissions. This puts us about one | :19:12. | :19:15. | |
degree over where we were in preindustrial times, and of course | :19:16. | :19:23. | |
Copp 21 is looking at under two degrees, close to 1.5. This is not | :19:24. | :19:29. | |
just going to warm the climate, it is more unsettled weather, more | :19:30. | :19:35. | |
rain, it is much more diverse than people realise. It is interesting | :19:36. | :19:42. | |
because climate change is a difficult thing for a lot of people | :19:43. | :19:46. | |
to quantify. But when they feel it personally, perhaps walking around | :19:47. | :19:50. | |
at the moment, you can just about go out in the T-shirt and see daffodils | :19:51. | :19:54. | |
coming out of the ground. You suddenly think, maybe this is quite | :19:55. | :19:59. | |
strange. A lot of it will come down to adaptation rather than | :20:00. | :20:02. | |
litigation. Everyone is working on how they are going to reduce | :20:03. | :20:07. | |
greenhouse gases, but also the fact that we are not going to be able to | :20:08. | :20:10. | |
do enough quickly enough, so how do you adapt, so we will see champagne | :20:11. | :20:20. | |
growing in England, for example. The Guardian has a story about George | :20:21. | :20:25. | |
Osborne giving out some pretty big pay rises, allegedly to people | :20:26. | :20:31. | |
around him. What is interesting about this is it was the last day of | :20:32. | :20:36. | |
Parliament today, and the government released 424 pieces of information. | :20:37. | :20:45. | |
Normally they release about 100. There was all sorts of bad news, | :20:46. | :20:50. | |
which they tried to cover up in this blizzard of announcements, and this | :20:51. | :20:56. | |
is the one that has made the headlines, about how George Osborne | :20:57. | :20:59. | |
is giving his spin doctor, the person charged with making him | :21:00. | :21:04. | |
presentable in the news, a 40% pay rise. You wonder whether she got the | :21:05. | :21:11. | |
money deserved. Let's go on to the Telegraph and an interesting story | :21:12. | :21:15. | |
about divorce, and a software blunder where if you were getting | :21:16. | :21:19. | |
divorced and you fill in a form online about your assets and | :21:20. | :21:24. | |
liabilities, actually the computer got it all horribly wrong and you | :21:25. | :21:31. | |
may have to go back to the courts. There are about 20,000 individuals | :21:32. | :21:33. | |
if they have gotten a divorce in the last 20 months and he filled out the | :21:34. | :21:38. | |
form online, you want to try to find a way of going back and looking over | :21:39. | :21:41. | |
records, because they did not do a proper analysis of what your | :21:42. | :21:47. | |
financial payments should be, because they did not include | :21:48. | :21:51. | |
liabilities and debts. Very upsetting, because it will be a | :21:52. | :21:56. | |
bureaucratic nightmare to try to go back into the courts and get that | :21:57. | :22:03. | |
changed. And a personal nightmare. You have just been through this | :22:04. | :22:06. | |
uncomfortable separation and now you have to get back together and do it | :22:07. | :22:11. | |
all over again. Only if you filled in the forms online, just to make it | :22:12. | :22:18. | |
clear. Finally, I think this is your favourite story, Jason. Dog owners | :22:19. | :22:24. | |
are being threatened over putting festive costumes on their pets. The | :22:25. | :22:35. | |
RSPCA is worried that people who dress up their dogs in fancy dress, | :22:36. | :22:40. | |
whether it is Christmas jumpers or antlers. Do they actually dress up | :22:41. | :22:47. | |
dogs? Yes, people do. The RSPCA thinks it could be traumatic for the | :22:48. | :22:53. | |
dog. Personally, I find wearing a Christmas jumper a bit traumatic. | :22:54. | :23:00. | |
Could it be that dogs share this sense of shame? Are you forced to | :23:01. | :23:07. | |
wear these items of clothing? I wouldn't say forced, but I can | :23:08. | :23:12. | |
sympathise with dogs. Are you just putting them on because you have bad | :23:13. | :23:17. | |
taste in clothing? We have had a lot of tweaks and e-mails saying that my | :23:18. | :23:23. | |
dog would not be caught dead in these clothes. Many dogs are fine if | :23:24. | :23:33. | |
they are in Dolce and Cabanas, but it is just the ones who are having | :23:34. | :23:40. | |
to wear TK Maxx. Many don't have to wear sweaters at the moment because | :23:41. | :23:51. | |
it is so warm! Let's get the latest forecast from | :23:52. | :23:53. |
