:00:08. > :00:14.reaction. Hello, and welcome to our look
:00:15. > :00:17.ahead to what the the papers With me are the literary editor
:00:18. > :00:21.of the Independent on Sunday, Katy Guest,
:00:22. > :00:23.and the Westminster correspondent The FT leads with
:00:24. > :00:29.our main story tonight - The paper says the Prime Minister
:00:30. > :00:34.has cleared the way for a referendum The i leads with the same
:00:35. > :00:39.story, saying the historic vote The Sun says that the
:00:40. > :00:44.number of foreign passport holders living in the UK has reached 5
:00:45. > :00:48.million for the first time. According to the Times,
:00:49. > :00:50.doctors are handing out Botox prescriptions without having
:00:51. > :00:55.consultations with patients. 'A mockery of justice' is
:00:56. > :00:57.the Mail's headline after three suspected rioters,
:00:58. > :00:59.who refused to reveal their identities in court, had
:01:00. > :01:04.the charges against them dropped. The Telegraph says
:01:05. > :01:06.leading academics are claiming British universities have become too
:01:07. > :01:12.politically correct. offering discounts of up to 80%
:01:13. > :01:29.for Christmas shoppers. Let's start with the story on the
:01:30. > :01:33.Independent, the story we have been looking at all day today. That is
:01:34. > :01:38.the closure of Kellingley Colliery in North Yorkshire, and a picture of
:01:39. > :01:46.one of the miners who did his last shift at Britain's last deep coal
:01:47. > :01:53.mine. Very sad box pops we hope. Not knowing what the future holds for
:01:54. > :02:01.them. -- box pops we heard. I was then a couple of miles from
:02:02. > :02:06.Kellingley, so it is my family's story, neighbours and grandfathers.
:02:07. > :02:13.I went down this mine once and it was exhausting, horrific as getting
:02:14. > :02:20.to the bottom. 800 feet. It is the end of a community. They were
:02:21. > :02:25.horrible jobs, and the community is now left wondering what it will do,
:02:26. > :02:29.not just for Christmas but in the future. We heard lots of people
:02:30. > :02:35.saying they came from generations of families that have worked on this
:02:36. > :02:41.articulate coal pit. But we knew it would come to an end. Not yet,
:02:42. > :02:49.admittedly, but how much longer can we keep producing expensive coal?
:02:50. > :02:57.Not at all now. Given all of that, it is not an economics story but a
:02:58. > :03:06.human story. People remember the miner strikes and miners being a
:03:07. > :03:12.huge force. Within my lifetime, the last mine has closed. It is the end
:03:13. > :03:18.of an era. It isn't over used word, but it is historic. That is an
:03:19. > :03:22.amazing statistic. Those pictures from the 80s when those strikes were
:03:23. > :03:32.on, thousands of people took part to try to save the pits. Now just 100
:03:33. > :03:36.members. A lot of people from our generations can't help but have a
:03:37. > :03:39.visceral and emotional reaction to a photograph like that of a miner
:03:40. > :03:48.coming up from a mine for the last time. It still calls for enquiries
:03:49. > :03:57.during the strikes. It is still part of our nation. What will happen in
:03:58. > :03:59.this community? The mining communities in the 80s really
:04:00. > :04:07.struggled to find something new to replace it with. Hopefully they will
:04:08. > :04:11.get a lot of help from the local authority and government etc. I hope
:04:12. > :04:18.so. There is a stark juxtaposition with this other story, fatcat
:04:19. > :04:23.Britain and the economic difference between the richest and poorest in
:04:24. > :04:28.Britain. It is getting bigger. The richest 1% of the population have as
:04:29. > :04:33.much money as the poorest 57% combined, and the fact this gap is
:04:34. > :04:38.getting wider since 2012 is really shocking. And George Osborne has
:04:39. > :04:42.stepped up his private meetings with representatives to the UK's big
:04:43. > :05:03.banks. Where is the evidence for that? And then from -- a source from
:05:04. > :05:13.the Financial Times. And now David Cameron's Brexit vote. The
:05:14. > :05:18.suggestion is that it will happen next summer, this vote. We have
:05:19. > :05:23.elections in May. It can't happen too soon after that. There is a
:05:24. > :05:28.suggestion it will be next summer. My sources tell me otherwise, and I
:05:29. > :05:35.stand by then it may be September rather than summer, but we can be
:05:36. > :05:39.fairly sure it will be 2016. The Prime Minister corrupt agent saying
:05:40. > :05:44.next year would be vital and the moment when concern address the
:05:45. > :05:54.concern of the British people about our membership. February is the date
:05:55. > :06:00.where he has to get his ducks in a row and get his negotiations done.
:06:01. > :06:06.Things don't crank up again until January. I can't imagine them
:06:07. > :06:13.working faster than that. We have absolutely no movement at all on the
:06:14. > :06:19.key reforms, the idea of migrants from within the EU not in claim in
:06:20. > :06:25.work benefits for four years after arriving. That was supposed to be a
:06:26. > :06:28.line in the sand. He had four key reforms, and everyone said the first
:06:29. > :06:32.three were fine. I wonder if he was thinking it would be like when you
:06:33. > :06:39.sign the terms and conditions, that's OK, I can't be bothered, sign
:06:40. > :06:43.up for all four. But everyone says it is a line in the sand and they
:06:44. > :06:46.will not accept that. Cameron has come back saying we have made
:06:47. > :06:52.progress towards having an agreement. Is he managing
:06:53. > :06:57.expectations, and telling us it would be really hard work, I will
:06:58. > :07:01.have to argue all night with them, I will not let them sleep until they
:07:02. > :07:06.agree with my demands? Then he can come back as the conquering hero and
:07:07. > :07:16.say, I have one against the mean old Europe people for you. His
:07:17. > :07:30.negotiating tactic is to go in fully. You go in, and maybe this is
:07:31. > :07:35.why he has made progress this time. Go in with a full bladder. I might
:07:36. > :07:43.try that before I go on air. Too much information. Don't start. You
:07:44. > :07:52.wait if you think that stronger, you wait until you hear what I have
:07:53. > :08:05.coming up. -- blogger. Doctors prescribe drugs
:08:06. > :08:10.they prescribing Botox to without meeting was like anyone who faces
:08:11. > :08:14.it. The fascinating thing, when you look into the history, the medical
:08:15. > :08:20.Council were supposed to bringing the rules about prescribing of Botox
:08:21. > :08:25.in 2012 after another investigation either BBC found the same thing,
:08:26. > :08:30.that little-known to ask, Botox is a medicine you have to have on
:08:31. > :08:33.prescription, and in theory, you are supposed to have a face-to-face
:08:34. > :08:41.eating with the prescriber, which could be a doctor or dentist. --
:08:42. > :08:47.meeting. It is toxic, isn't it? Not just a beauty therapist, who can't
:08:48. > :08:55.prescribe the medicine, only very out the procedure. The beauty
:08:56. > :09:00.therapist has cold a doctor and the doctor has said I will prescriber
:09:01. > :09:09.and has not seen the person who is going to receive it. The Times has
:09:10. > :09:15.uncovered that there is no medical supervision in some cases. Not in
:09:16. > :09:20.the building at the time, certainly. They have to be registered. It is
:09:21. > :09:27.not surprising that it is going on, it is surprising that it an
:09:28. > :09:33.illegal. There are serious regulations around it. Let us look
:09:34. > :09:37.at the Telegraph. Politically correct universities are killing
:09:38. > :09:41.free speech. Academics are concerned about the amount of censorship on
:09:42. > :09:47.campuses, to do with who can speak at events, the subjects they can
:09:48. > :09:55.talk about. It seems this is in the news a lot. There is an issue here,
:09:56. > :09:58.but I am not sure what it is. British universities have become too
:09:59. > :10:04.politically correct, but I would suggest you can't be too politically
:10:05. > :10:08.correct, because politically correctness means not offending
:10:09. > :10:17.people if you don't have to. It has become a pejorative phrase. These
:10:18. > :10:24.alleged incidents about not wearing sombreros because it may offend
:10:25. > :10:29.Mexican students. They want to pull down a statue of a horrible man who
:10:30. > :10:40.did terrible things in Africa. According to some. Some people will
:10:41. > :10:49.say he was a pioneer. He is not just Cecil Rose, who was just a horrible
:10:50. > :10:53.man in Africa. But they say these statue has historical interest,
:10:54. > :10:59.which it does, so it is how do you find the balance? In universities,
:11:00. > :11:06.there has to be more latitude for people to examine ideas? Yes, but
:11:07. > :11:11.University has a responsibility to think carefully about what it is
:11:12. > :11:19.seen to endorse. And so by inviting someone to speak whereby a statue or
:11:20. > :11:23.keeping a statue of someone, does that explicitly say we endorse this?
:11:24. > :11:30.Is that the right thing to do? One college was paid for by Cecil Rose,
:11:31. > :11:36.wasn't it? They are in a bind. There are lots of institutions like that.
:11:37. > :11:40.They can't deny the fact they were paid for by one of their famous
:11:41. > :11:47.alumna. There are lots of educational establishments where
:11:48. > :11:52.money is tainted. What do you do about it? Funded on slave trade
:11:53. > :11:58.money. It is too difficult to be a front-page story. It should have a
:11:59. > :12:04.university dissertation about it. Someone will write their Ph.D., and
:12:05. > :12:09.someone else will ban it. I hope you're not feeling too prudish at
:12:10. > :12:18.the moment. Why Colonel bogey but it right about Hitler. That is the
:12:19. > :12:24.chewing, we know the words. It turns out the notorious wartime song was
:12:25. > :12:31.right all along. Adolf Hitler really did have only one testicle. Well, he
:12:32. > :12:38.had one undescended testicle. I love this job sometimes. That is a story
:12:39. > :12:44.right there. Apparently incontrovertible truth has been
:12:45. > :12:55.discovered by a historian. When it hit that was examined by a prisoner
:12:56. > :13:01.doctor, the doctor examined him and found he clearly had an undescended
:13:02. > :13:08.testicle on the right side. -- Hitler. Previously the side that was
:13:09. > :13:20.thought to be understanding. -- understanding. Fascinating that
:13:21. > :13:26.people are still interested in this. There we go. None of us were around
:13:27. > :13:36.at the time, but we all know the song. It is part of our history. Any
:13:37. > :13:42.word for it I tour you earlier? Monorchid will stop only having the
:13:43. > :13:43.one. I learnt it from my English teacher. It has turned out to be
:13:44. > :13:58.useful all this time later. Will you be rushing out to grab a
:13:59. > :14:03.bargain? No, I would not go to the shops if they were giving out stuff
:14:04. > :14:07.for free. Tomorrow was panic Saturday, apparently. Another day
:14:08. > :14:11.with another name. I think they make them up, everyday there is a new
:14:12. > :14:17.one. I think this one is all our own panic. True, proper, original
:14:18. > :14:25.British panic. What do we do on Christmas Eve? It is not really a
:14:26. > :14:29.panic tomorrow. I once met someone who was in a panic on Christmas Eve
:14:30. > :14:33.who had fallen asleep on the train, got off the train in a hurry and got
:14:34. > :14:40.home and realised all his Christmas presents were on the train. It was
:14:41. > :14:49.Christmas Eve. That is it. Thank you very much. Katie and James, nice to
:14:50. > :14:54.see you both. Merry Christmas, whatever you would like me to wish
:14:55. > :14:55.you. Coming up next,
