:00:33. > :00:36.their changes he wanted. 2016 will be the year we achieved something

:00:37. > :00:40.vital fundamentally changing the UK's relationship with the EU and

:00:41. > :00:46.addressing the concerns of the British people. The UN Security

:00:47. > :00:55.Council agrees a peace plan for Syria but without addressing the

:00:56. > :01:00.future of President Assad. Britain's last deep coal mine

:01:01. > :01:07.stopped production with the loss of 450 jobs. There was high emotion as

:01:08. > :01:15.workers worked their final shift. Energy giant empower has to pay a

:01:16. > :01:22.record fine. Half a million customers where wrongly billed.

:01:36. > :01:38.match tomorrow. More reaction to the sacking of Jose Mourinho. And more

:01:39. > :01:58.news about the European rugby. Welcome to our look ahead to what

:01:59. > :02:11.The Papers will be bringing as tomorrow.

:02:12. > :02:21.The Financial Times leads with the David Cameron EU negotiation story.

:02:22. > :02:30.The paper says he has cleared the way for an EU referendum membership.

:02:31. > :02:34.The Sun says the number of foreign passport holders living in the UK

:02:35. > :02:39.has reached 5 million for the first time.

:02:40. > :02:42.The Times says doctors are handing out Botox perceptions without

:02:43. > :02:46.face-to-face consultations with patients.

:02:47. > :02:53.A mockery of justice is the headline in The Mail.

:02:54. > :02:58.The Telegraph says leading academics are claiming British universities

:02:59. > :03:03.have become to put it we correct. The Express claims some stores are

:03:04. > :03:09.offering discounts of up to 80% for Christmas shoppers.

:03:10. > :03:13.Let us start with the EU vote. Britain to decide in summer. Cameron

:03:14. > :03:21.says referendum can be held next year after good process. I am sure

:03:22. > :03:25.bookmakers are running audits on this about when exactly it will

:03:26. > :03:31.happen. What intrigues me about this story is that David Cameron is not

:03:32. > :03:38.daft. Ack walked about him is that he is a poker player. He only bets

:03:39. > :03:42.when the Carter in his favour. He is not the kind of person who publicly

:03:43. > :03:47.goes into a negotiation without knowing he is going to win it. And

:03:48. > :03:52.yet these EU leaders are still coming out saying they will not give

:03:53. > :03:55.him what he wants. How is he going to achieve this effectively by

:03:56. > :03:59.February in order to get a referendum on the table in June?

:04:00. > :04:08.What does he know that we do not? Do you know? I do not. This is part of

:04:09. > :04:12.the thing. From the outside it looks that he has been cack-handed in his

:04:13. > :04:16.negotiations and then suddenly he has pulled a rabbit out of a hat and

:04:17. > :04:22.although he leaders have sat around. They are not going as far as he

:04:23. > :04:27.wants them to go perhaps but he is definitely where he wants to be.

:04:28. > :04:32.Maybe he does not what he is doing. What are you hearing. #

:04:33. > :04:37.This headline that Britain to decide in summer seems fairly certain.

:04:38. > :04:41.Earlier in the week I heard from Tory sources in Europe saying

:04:42. > :04:46.September was the date. That was largely by a process of elimination.

:04:47. > :04:50.That is stretching some are a bit. They are saying June or July. There

:04:51. > :04:56.are elections in May. It is very close to then have another thought

:04:57. > :05:00.in June. In July you get into summer, people go on holiday. The

:05:01. > :05:03.Scottish school holidays start at the end of June. He will be in

:05:04. > :05:15.trouble if he has to have it in July. The SNP will kick-off. Idea

:05:16. > :05:23.not predict. I suspect it will be later than June or July. What about

:05:24. > :05:26.the red lines on in work benefits for migrants? That four-year delay

:05:27. > :05:35.between arriving in this country and being able to clean? No where near

:05:36. > :05:41.doors. He has got an emergency brake. Donald Tusk has given him an

:05:42. > :05:44.emergency brake summit of public services are going to be

:05:45. > :05:49.overwhelmed, I do not know who decides that, he will be able to put

:05:50. > :05:53.some sort of break on immigration. Is that a temporary measure? I am

:05:54. > :05:59.not sure of the mechanics but it is something, moving in the late

:06:00. > :06:02.direction. In February we have got the next European council meeting

:06:03. > :06:08.and then he says that will be the deadline then we will find out if he

:06:09. > :06:12.has been cack-handed. But legislation has got to be put in

:06:13. > :06:17.place to allow this to happen. That is the other thing. Do we then have

:06:18. > :06:21.a referendum based on an actual Agreement in stone or based on

:06:22. > :06:26.promises that things will change? Then other countries have to ratify

:06:27. > :06:29.it. That is a different proposal. Let us not get bogged down in that

:06:30. > :06:34.just now. The Independent, we are looking at a

:06:35. > :06:38.story here, part of our wider story about industry and the relationship

:06:39. > :06:54.between the banks and Government. The picture is of one of the miners

:06:55. > :06:58.after the last shift at the coal mine that closed today. There are

:06:59. > :07:07.still a lot of coal but it is more expensive. It is a very sad story.

:07:08. > :07:20.People of my vintage remember miners strikes. A huge union with huge

:07:21. > :07:25.power. NUM is down to 100 members. It is poignant. Christmas is around

:07:26. > :07:29.the corner. It is a sad story. You wonder why so many redundancies take

:07:30. > :07:34.place just before Christmas. Never a great time to lose your job, but

:07:35. > :07:38.Christmas as well? It is a great picture on the front of The

:07:39. > :07:42.Independent that such a sad story. We are reading elsewhere about mad

:07:43. > :07:47.Friday, people going out tonight and drinking lots and shopping lots and

:07:48. > :07:54.at the scene time people are losing their jobs. If we can set aside the

:07:55. > :08:00.devastation to that mining community for one seconds we now that the days

:08:01. > :08:05.of coal are numbered. We were hearing in Paris on the last week.

:08:06. > :08:14.True, but we are still using an awful lot of it. But is still in the

:08:15. > :08:20.ground. Let us look at The Telegraph. Politically correct

:08:21. > :08:25.universities are killing free speech. Academics are speaking out

:08:26. > :08:28.about censorship on campuses of anything that causes the slightest

:08:29. > :08:34.bit of offence is what The Telegraph says. I am not sure who the student

:08:35. > :08:39.centres are. They seem to be the spectral idea, people saying you

:08:40. > :08:44.cannot do this or that, but they do not seem to pin down in this article

:08:45. > :08:50.who these centres are. I am not sure about the work banning in stories

:08:51. > :08:55.like this. I hear about this being banned from literally festivals

:08:56. > :08:58.because of our character being too sensational, it turns out they have

:08:59. > :09:03.not been banned, they have just not been invited. I often wonder idea

:09:04. > :09:07.where that millions of other people also have not been invited to

:09:08. > :09:12.address students or appear at a festival. I have been banned from

:09:13. > :09:21.every university in the country in that case. Devastated. How far it is

:09:22. > :09:24.a ban and how far it is just an exercise of wanting to see someone

:09:25. > :09:32.speak or not I do not know. What are the up in arms about? Lots of things

:09:33. > :09:44.apparently. Some vehicles. The Sun. David Starkey. Cecil Rhodes. A

:09:45. > :09:48.statue of Cecil Rhodes. Indeed. Apparently some people want to take

:09:49. > :09:54.down the statue of Cecil Rhodes. Historic Bingen see it as a subject

:09:55. > :09:57.of historic interest. It is an object of historic interest. It is

:09:58. > :10:02.the balance you have to meet. This is what we do in society, finding

:10:03. > :10:05.the balance between something of historical interest, it just so

:10:06. > :10:10.happened that has a statue of a man who did terrible things in South

:10:11. > :10:14.Africa. Maybe it should be taken down now. But if we together thing

:10:15. > :10:20.down that cause somebody offence there would be nothing left. What is

:10:21. > :10:24.the barrier? What is the benchmark for offence? That is what we do as a

:10:25. > :10:30.society. We find that level. It changes over time. As banning

:10:31. > :10:35.somebody from wearing a or because they are not Mexican racist? Were

:10:36. > :10:41.they really banned? How can you bounce a buddy from wearing a

:10:42. > :10:45.sombrero? Is there somebody at all police at East Anglia University? It

:10:46. > :10:50.is an interesting issue but I never quite sure of where the actual

:10:51. > :10:56.balance is. There is another aspect to this story which is glossed over.

:10:57. > :10:58.It is a line that says because universities increasingly see

:10:59. > :11:04.fee-paying students as customers they do not bear to stand up to a

:11:05. > :11:07.small and focal minority. I have heard of people teaching at

:11:08. > :11:10.university who say that because students are paid so much money they

:11:11. > :11:13.expect certain grades and certain achievement and they do not expect

:11:14. > :11:18.their teachers to say, you have not earned through your work. It does

:11:19. > :11:28.seem to be a difficult issue of balance. The students now think the

:11:29. > :11:32.customer is always right. Something is going on on the campuses but at

:11:33. > :11:42.the minute it becomes a story about banning somebody was it is reduced

:11:43. > :11:46.to simplistic terms,. Boris Johnson could be made Foreign Secretary.

:11:47. > :11:51.When and why? Here is a man who knows about nuance. Boris Johnson.

:11:52. > :11:58.After he steps down from his term as London near in May it is expected

:11:59. > :12:01.that David Cameron will give him another job in or around the

:12:02. > :12:12.Cabinet. Foreign Secretary is a new one although The Telegraph generally

:12:13. > :12:14.know what they are talking about. Do we really want Boris Johnson

:12:15. > :12:22.stumbling around Europe as the face of Britain? But when he was mere of

:12:23. > :12:26.London he did a good job. That he not embarrass us at the Beijing

:12:27. > :12:43.Olympics? He would certainly be memorable on

:12:44. > :12:49.the world stage. If you have him in the cabinet you keep them close. It

:12:50. > :12:55.would be a good platform to stand against George Osborne. Does David

:12:56. > :13:01.Cameron want that? I am not sure. Daily Mail, riot suspects who

:13:02. > :13:04.refused to give names in court have charges chopped. What do you do to

:13:05. > :13:10.make somebody reveal who they are in court? I do not know what to make of

:13:11. > :13:17.this story. He has not everyone tried that? How difficult can it be

:13:18. > :13:26.to establish you sundered it is? A computer. Indeed. We are told to be

:13:27. > :13:30.very careful about our identity, that people can piece it together,

:13:31. > :13:37.yet these people went to court and refused to say who they are. If that

:13:38. > :13:43.is true it is outrageous. If you are somebody whose House or business was

:13:44. > :13:48.smashed up in these rights, and presumably they are men, they turn

:13:49. > :14:01.up, say they will not tell the name and walk out, that is outrageous. It

:14:02. > :14:07.then Quartz and MP. If you have to go to Peter Bull for the court it

:14:08. > :14:14.suggests your story might be desperate. Why? Be careful. He is a

:14:15. > :14:20.great man and a great MP that he is quite easy to get Quartz from. But

:14:21. > :14:31.this is the kind of thing you would expect to have a strong opinion on.

:14:32. > :14:39.If it was a stronger story you might have a stronger court. Maybe he is

:14:40. > :14:42.speaking up for a lot of people who could agree. Surely they could

:14:43. > :14:48.prosecute at another time anything to these people are. It is not worth

:14:49. > :15:00.the time to go after them and spent lots of resources. It needs more

:15:01. > :15:06.flesh on the bones. Daily Express, January sales started today. I know

:15:07. > :15:11.you cannot contain yourselves. Up to 80% of as stores/places. I cannot

:15:12. > :15:21.stand shopping at the best of times. What are we doing? 80% off would not

:15:22. > :15:25.tempt me to go to the shops today. I would not go near the place. I get

:15:26. > :15:31.all the shopping done beforehand. What do they do in January or Boxing

:15:32. > :15:41.Day? They will sell as bikinis judging by the weather. It gets

:15:42. > :15:47.earlier and earlier. I can remember when the January sales were in

:15:48. > :15:49.January. Then 20 Boxing Day. Now it is before Christmas. But a lot of

:15:50. > :16:11.shops have there sales on. There were some quite strong fumes

:16:12. > :16:21.on my train as I came into work. We will be back again at half past 11.

:16:22. > :16:23.More on the UN Security Council adopting the resolution on a Peace

:16:24. > :16:38.Process in Syria. Coming up in the programme:

:16:39. > :16:41.Hiddink's heading back
