with Europe. The Prime Minister said he was a step closer to getting

their changes he wanted. 2016 will be the year we achieved something

vital fundamentally changing the UK's relationship with the EU and

:00:37.:00:40.

addressing the concerns of the British people. The UN Security

:00:41.:00:46.

Council agrees a peace plan for Syria but without addressing the

:00:47.:00:55.

future of President Assad. Britain's last deep coal mine

:00:56.:01:00.

stopped production with the loss of 450 jobs. There was high emotion as

:01:01.:01:07.

workers worked their final shift. Energy giant empower has to pay a

:01:08.:01:15.

record fine. Half a million customers where wrongly billed.

:01:16.:01:22.

Coming up in Sportsday, is this the man for the mean time at Chelsea?

:01:23.:01:28.

Guus Hiddink flies in for talks but not in time to take charge of the

:01:29.:01:35.

match tomorrow. More reaction to the sacking of Jose Mourinho. And more

:01:36.:01:38.

news about the European rugby. Welcome to our look ahead to what

:01:39.:01:58.

The Papers will be bringing as tomorrow.

:01:59.:02:11.

The Financial Times leads with the David Cameron EU negotiation story.

:02:12.:02:21.

The paper says he has cleared the way for an EU referendum membership.

:02:22.:02:30.

The Sun says the number of foreign passport holders living in the UK

:02:31.:02:34.

has reached 5 million for the first time.

:02:35.:02:39.

The Times says doctors are handing out Botox perceptions without

:02:40.:02:42.

face-to-face consultations with patients.

:02:43.:02:46.

A mockery of justice is the headline in The Mail.

:02:47.:02:53.

The Telegraph says leading academics are claiming British universities

:02:54.:02:58.

have become to put it we correct. The Express claims some stores are

:02:59.:03:03.

offering discounts of up to 80% for Christmas shoppers.

:03:04.:03:09.

Let us start with the EU vote. Britain to decide in summer. Cameron

:03:10.:03:13.

says referendum can be held next year after good process. I am sure

:03:14.:03:21.

bookmakers are running audits on this about when exactly it will

:03:22.:03:25.

happen. What intrigues me about this story is that David Cameron is not

:03:26.:03:31.

daft. Ack walked about him is that he is a poker player. He only bets

:03:32.:03:38.

when the Carter in his favour. He is not the kind of person who publicly

:03:39.:03:42.

goes into a negotiation without knowing he is going to win it. And

:03:43.:03:47.

yet these EU leaders are still coming out saying they will not give

:03:48.:03:52.

him what he wants. How is he going to achieve this effectively by

:03:53.:03:55.

February in order to get a referendum on the table in June?

:03:56.:03:59.

What does he know that we do not? Do you know? I do not. This is part of

:04:00.:04:08.

the thing. From the outside it looks that he has been cack-handed in his

:04:09.:04:12.

negotiations and then suddenly he has pulled a rabbit out of a hat and

:04:13.:04:16.

although he leaders have sat around. They are not going as far as he

:04:17.:04:22.

wants them to go perhaps but he is definitely where he wants to be.

:04:23.:04:27.

Maybe he does not what he is doing. What are you hearing. #

:04:28.:04:32.

This headline that Britain to decide in summer seems fairly certain.

:04:33.:04:37.

Earlier in the week I heard from Tory sources in Europe saying

:04:38.:04:41.

September was the date. That was largely by a process of elimination.

:04:42.:04:46.

That is stretching some are a bit. They are saying June or July. There

:04:47.:04:50.

are elections in May. It is very close to then have another thought

:04:51.:04:56.

in June. In July you get into summer, people go on holiday. The

:04:57.:05:00.

Scottish school holidays start at the end of June. He will be in

:05:01.:05:03.

trouble if he has to have it in July. The SNP will kick-off. Idea

:05:04.:05:15.

not predict. I suspect it will be later than June or July. What about

:05:16.:05:23.

the red lines on in work benefits for migrants? That four-year delay

:05:24.:05:26.

between arriving in this country and being able to clean? No where near

:05:27.:05:35.

doors. He has got an emergency brake. Donald Tusk has given him an

:05:36.:05:41.

emergency brake summit of public services are going to be

:05:42.:05:44.

overwhelmed, I do not know who decides that, he will be able to put

:05:45.:05:49.

some sort of break on immigration. Is that a temporary measure? I am

:05:50.:05:53.

not sure of the mechanics but it is something, moving in the late

:05:54.:05:59.

direction. In February we have got the next European council meeting

:06:00.:06:02.

and then he says that will be the deadline then we will find out if he

:06:03.:06:08.

has been cack-handed. But legislation has got to be put in

:06:09.:06:12.

place to allow this to happen. That is the other thing. Do we then have

:06:13.:06:17.

a referendum based on an actual Agreement in stone or based on

:06:18.:06:21.

promises that things will change? Then other countries have to ratify

:06:22.:06:26.

it. That is a different proposal. Let us not get bogged down in that

:06:27.:06:29.

just now. The Independent, we are looking at a

:06:30.:06:34.

story here, part of our wider story about industry and the relationship

:06:35.:06:38.

between the banks and Government. The picture is of one of the miners

:06:39.:06:54.

after the last shift at the coal mine that closed today. There are

:06:55.:06:58.

still a lot of coal but it is more expensive. It is a very sad story.

:06:59.:07:07.

People of my vintage remember miners strikes. A huge union with huge

:07:08.:07:20.

power. NUM is down to 100 members. It is poignant. Christmas is around

:07:21.:07:25.

the corner. It is a sad story. You wonder why so many redundancies take

:07:26.:07:29.

place just before Christmas. Never a great time to lose your job, but

:07:30.:07:34.

Christmas as well? It is a great picture on the front of The

:07:35.:07:38.

Independent that such a sad story. We are reading elsewhere about mad

:07:39.:07:42.

Friday, people going out tonight and drinking lots and shopping lots and

:07:43.:07:47.

at the scene time people are losing their jobs. If we can set aside the

:07:48.:07:54.

devastation to that mining community for one seconds we now that the days

:07:55.:08:00.

of coal are numbered. We were hearing in Paris on the last week.

:08:01.:08:05.

True, but we are still using an awful lot of it. But is still in the

:08:06.:08:14.

ground. Let us look at The Telegraph. Politically correct

:08:15.:08:20.

universities are killing free speech. Academics are speaking out

:08:21.:08:25.

about censorship on campuses of anything that causes the slightest

:08:26.:08:28.

bit of offence is what The Telegraph says. I am not sure who the student

:08:29.:08:34.

centres are. They seem to be the spectral idea, people saying you

:08:35.:08:39.

cannot do this or that, but they do not seem to pin down in this article

:08:40.:08:44.

who these centres are. I am not sure about the work banning in stories

:08:45.:08:50.

like this. I hear about this being banned from literally festivals

:08:51.:08:55.

because of our character being too sensational, it turns out they have

:08:56.:08:58.

not been banned, they have just not been invited. I often wonder idea

:08:59.:09:03.

where that millions of other people also have not been invited to

:09:04.:09:07.

address students or appear at a festival. I have been banned from

:09:08.:09:12.

every university in the country in that case. Devastated. How far it is

:09:13.:09:21.

a ban and how far it is just an exercise of wanting to see someone

:09:22.:09:24.

speak or not I do not know. What are the up in arms about? Lots of things

:09:25.:09:32.

apparently. Some vehicles. The Sun. David Starkey. Cecil Rhodes. A

:09:33.:09:44.

statue of Cecil Rhodes. Indeed. Apparently some people want to take

:09:45.:09:48.

down the statue of Cecil Rhodes. Historic Bingen see it as a subject

:09:49.:09:54.

of historic interest. It is an object of historic interest. It is

:09:55.:09:57.

the balance you have to meet. This is what we do in society, finding

:09:58.:10:02.

the balance between something of historical interest, it just so

:10:03.:10:05.

happened that has a statue of a man who did terrible things in South

:10:06.:10:10.

Africa. Maybe it should be taken down now. But if we together thing

:10:11.:10:14.

down that cause somebody offence there would be nothing left. What is

:10:15.:10:20.

the barrier? What is the benchmark for offence? That is what we do as a

:10:21.:10:24.

society. We find that level. It changes over time. As banning

:10:25.:10:30.

somebody from wearing a or because they are not Mexican racist? Were

:10:31.:10:35.

they really banned? How can you bounce a buddy from wearing a

:10:36.:10:41.

sombrero? Is there somebody at all police at East Anglia University? It

:10:42.:10:45.

is an interesting issue but I never quite sure of where the actual

:10:46.:10:50.

balance is. There is another aspect to this story which is glossed over.

:10:51.:10:56.

It is a line that says because universities increasingly see

:10:57.:10:58.

fee-paying students as customers they do not bear to stand up to a

:10:59.:11:04.

small and focal minority. I have heard of people teaching at

:11:05.:11:07.

university who say that because students are paid so much money they

:11:08.:11:10.

expect certain grades and certain achievement and they do not expect

:11:11.:11:13.

their teachers to say, you have not earned through your work. It does

:11:14.:11:18.

seem to be a difficult issue of balance. The students now think the

:11:19.:11:28.

customer is always right. Something is going on on the campuses but at

:11:29.:11:32.

the minute it becomes a story about banning somebody was it is reduced

:11:33.:11:42.

to simplistic terms,. Boris Johnson could be made Foreign Secretary.

:11:43.:11:46.

When and why? Here is a man who knows about nuance. Boris Johnson.

:11:47.:11:51.

After he steps down from his term as London near in May it is expected

:11:52.:11:58.

that David Cameron will give him another job in or around the

:11:59.:12:01.

Cabinet. Foreign Secretary is a new one although The Telegraph generally

:12:02.:12:12.

know what they are talking about. Do we really want Boris Johnson

:12:13.:12:14.

stumbling around Europe as the face of Britain? But when he was mere of

:12:15.:12:22.

London he did a good job. That he not embarrass us at the Beijing

:12:23.:12:26.

Olympics? He would certainly be memorable on

:12:27.:12:43.

the world stage. If you have him in the cabinet you keep them close. It

:12:44.:12:49.

would be a good platform to stand against George Osborne. Does David

:12:50.:12:55.

Cameron want that? I am not sure. Daily Mail, riot suspects who

:12:56.:13:01.

refused to give names in court have charges chopped. What do you do to

:13:02.:13:04.

make somebody reveal who they are in court? I do not know what to make of

:13:05.:13:10.

this story. He has not everyone tried that? How difficult can it be

:13:11.:13:17.

to establish you sundered it is? A computer. Indeed. We are told to be

:13:18.:13:26.

very careful about our identity, that people can piece it together,

:13:27.:13:30.

yet these people went to court and refused to say who they are. If that

:13:31.:13:37.

is true it is outrageous. If you are somebody whose House or business was

:13:38.:13:43.

smashed up in these rights, and presumably they are men, they turn

:13:44.:13:48.

up, say they will not tell the name and walk out, that is outrageous. It

:13:49.:14:01.

then Quartz and MP. If you have to go to Peter Bull for the court it

:14:02.:14:07.

suggests your story might be desperate. Why? Be careful. He is a

:14:08.:14:14.

great man and a great MP that he is quite easy to get Quartz from. But

:14:15.:14:20.

this is the kind of thing you would expect to have a strong opinion on.

:14:21.:14:31.

If it was a stronger story you might have a stronger court. Maybe he is

:14:32.:14:39.

speaking up for a lot of people who could agree. Surely they could

:14:40.:14:42.

prosecute at another time anything to these people are. It is not worth

:14:43.:14:48.

the time to go after them and spent lots of resources. It needs more

:14:49.:15:00.

flesh on the bones. Daily Express, January sales started today. I know

:15:01.:15:06.

you cannot contain yourselves. Up to 80% of as stores/places. I cannot

:15:07.:15:11.

stand shopping at the best of times. What are we doing? 80% off would not

:15:12.:15:21.

tempt me to go to the shops today. I would not go near the place. I get

:15:22.:15:25.

all the shopping done beforehand. What do they do in January or Boxing

:15:26.:15:31.

Day? They will sell as bikinis judging by the weather. It gets

:15:32.:15:41.

earlier and earlier. I can remember when the January sales were in

:15:42.:15:47.

January. Then 20 Boxing Day. Now it is before Christmas. But a lot of

:15:48.:15:49.

shops have there sales on. There were some quite strong fumes

:15:50.:16:11.

on my train as I came into work. We will be back again at half past 11.

:16:12.:16:21.

More on the UN Security Council adopting the resolution on a Peace

:16:22.:16:23.

Process in Syria. Coming up in the programme:
