:00:16. > :00:18.Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be
:00:19. > :00:23.With me are sports writer for the Sun, Martin Lipton
:00:24. > :00:31.and broadcaster and barrister Sophia Cannon.
:00:32. > :00:40.She turned up looking like the snow Queen in a very beautiful quote.
:00:41. > :00:42.Sadly she had to take it off. Nice to see you.
:00:43. > :00:43.Tomorrow's front pages, starting with
:00:44. > :00:46.It leads with accusations that energy companies are ripping
:00:47. > :00:48.off consumers by not passing on three billion pounds worth
:00:49. > :00:51.of falls in the cost of gas and electricity.
:00:52. > :00:54.The Independent says six alleged victims of child abuse - at the
:00:55. > :00:57.hands, they claim, of the late Labour peer Lord Janner - are to
:00:58. > :01:01.David Cameron is preparing to send out a document
:01:02. > :01:04.to the public, ahead of a referendum on the UK's membership
:01:05. > :01:06.of the European Union, outlining the case for staying in -
:01:07. > :01:08.that's according to the Daily Telegraph,
:01:09. > :01:11.who say it will infuriate Conservative eurosceptics.
:01:12. > :01:14.The Metro highlights a report from the consumer group Which,
:01:15. > :01:16.that says ?100 million of compensation claims for rail
:01:17. > :01:34.The Mirror says the SAS will be called in to help guard the England,
:01:35. > :01:38.Wales and Northern Ireland football teams ahead of the Euro 200016 in
:01:39. > :01:42.France. And the daily Mail talks about
:01:43. > :01:49.shortages to nurses putting patients at risk. Let's begin, where we all
:01:50. > :01:54.guessed we would, with Europe. Here it is in the Teloni Cameron dossier
:01:55. > :01:59.to make case for EU. He prepares document to send to families before
:02:00. > :02:04.a poll. At some point, Sophia he has to tell us which way he wants us to
:02:05. > :02:10.vote. A lot of people would guess that David Cameron would be pro the
:02:11. > :02:13.EU, wouldn't he? The problem is, he is making a mockery of democracy,
:02:14. > :02:18.surely. If the Prime Minister is siding with one side and not the
:02:19. > :02:22.other, surely he is going to have an upper hand and that's the whole
:02:23. > :02:26.issue. He is using the Government machinery to put his case forward.
:02:27. > :02:29.Don't we expect him to lead? He is the leader of the country. He is
:02:30. > :02:35.supposed to put the best interests of the country first? You would
:02:36. > :02:39.think he would be partisan, the three wise men, Villiers and Iain
:02:40. > :02:43.Duncan Smith, too and I think he also has Chris Grayling. They are
:02:44. > :02:48.eurosceptics. They don't want to leave and they see it as a betrayal
:02:49. > :02:53.that their Prime Minister is siding with one side before the purr darks
:02:54. > :02:58.before the Government can't come in and assist, as it were, or shall we
:02:59. > :03:02.say, put forward a view or position that isn't neutral. If the Cabinet
:03:03. > :03:06.are talking about a rebellion. If you are in the Cabinet, you are
:03:07. > :03:10.supposed to stick together, aren't you? This is where Cabinet
:03:11. > :03:15.responsibility comes down. Where there is no effective Opposition, it
:03:16. > :03:19.allows for civil war within the governing party. There is no doubt
:03:20. > :03:23.that Cameron is instinctively pro European, for all the attempts
:03:24. > :03:30.occasionally to take a eurosceptic position on issues, his heart is not
:03:31. > :03:34.in T even now he is talking about the summits with EU leaders, he
:03:35. > :03:41.talks about being sure to get a deal to sell to the British people. It'll
:03:42. > :03:45.be echoing Harold Wilson in the '75 Reviellere, which even I was too
:03:46. > :03:49.young to vote in, to urge the country to take the stance of
:03:50. > :03:54.staying n will call outrage. We already know that Liam Fox was a
:03:55. > :03:59.prominent eurosceptic, stood against Cameron for the leadership of the
:04:00. > :04:02.Tory Party back in 2005. He has publicly said he will vote to come
:04:03. > :04:08.out. You have Major saying it would be extraordinary for Cabinet members
:04:09. > :04:14.to take an anti-EU policy. We have positioning Look Look we know with
:04:15. > :04:19.the Tory Party debate on Europe, it becomes a rupture. Going back to 97.
:04:20. > :04:27.There is a danger of going down the same path. How can anyone decide to
:04:28. > :04:31.vote against coming out or staying in, until we know what the deal Is
:04:32. > :04:35.it is horse and cart mrivenlingts this deal will be announced, it is
:04:36. > :04:38.going to be pro EU before we have decided what the position is and
:04:39. > :04:42.what we have put forward. It is crazy. Let's look at the Metro. Put
:04:43. > :04:46.rail delay payments on the fast track. Millions are being denied
:04:47. > :04:51.refunds. Why? What is going on? People don't claim, half the battle.
:04:52. > :04:54.Can't be bothered. Too much aggravation. There are signs if you
:04:55. > :04:58.are two hours or three hours' delayed you have a chance it claim
:04:59. > :05:05.your money back, but so many hoops to go through and we now have Which?
:05:06. > :05:10.Which? The consumers demanding a much more streamlined policy for
:05:11. > :05:16.things to be simplified and better publicity because we are being
:05:17. > :05:22.taken, literally Forestieri a ride Perhaps we need an app. Someone
:05:23. > :05:29.needs to decide how you can put in the details and you can claim
:05:30. > :05:39.instantly. We live in the north, when your train doesn't show up, you
:05:40. > :05:45.are cold. You don't live in the north you travel up north. It is
:05:46. > :05:53.only a few quid. But it all adds up. Said in Unison. Exposito - energy
:05:54. > :05:58.rip-off. Outcry at ?3 billion that greedy firms, says the paper, are
:05:59. > :06:02.refusing to slash bills by. Household prices have come down.
:06:03. > :06:06.Plummeted. Simple economics would suggest that bills are supposed to
:06:07. > :06:11.come down, too. It doesn't always though? Surely it is schoolgirl
:06:12. > :06:15.economics, Martine. You and I know, if the wholesale price drops, the
:06:16. > :06:21.retail price should dro. We have all signed up to this package that we
:06:22. > :06:26.have all got direct debits and we have all actually fixed our gas
:06:27. > :06:31.prices. Now look at us. We are fixed in, and in the hottest December we
:06:32. > :06:35.can all remember, paying our direct dibts, when there is a lot of people
:06:36. > :06:40.out there having to face that heat or eat deadline. That's the whole
:06:41. > :06:45.issue. Surely if the wholesale price drops, the retail price should drop
:06:46. > :06:50.almost instantaneously. Except, don't a lot of firms buy their gas
:06:51. > :06:54.in advance, don't they? And they are having to forecast way ahead of what
:06:55. > :06:57.they are going to need and buy it at possibly higher prices than the
:06:58. > :07:01.prices now? Well, there is a little bit of advanced buying but we have
:07:02. > :07:05.the situation where we have the oil prays going up to $150 a barrel and
:07:06. > :07:10.petrol price goes through the roof and oil price goes down to ?2.50 and
:07:11. > :07:14.they barely move. The energy companies in all the various forms
:07:15. > :07:16.have a position where they can take advantage of the consumer and lo and
:07:17. > :07:17.behold they do. have a position where they can take
:07:18. > :07:19.advantage of the consumer and lo and behold they do.
:07:20. > :07:25.Isn't the ditches with gas and electricity. The regulator is
:07:26. > :07:28.supposed to look after them. Gas and electricity isn't subject to tax
:07:29. > :07:33.levies by the Chancellor in the way petrol and diesel are. So you have a
:07:34. > :07:38.huge amount of tax added on which you don't have for gas and
:07:39. > :07:43.Bot bonchts again schoolgirl economics A supply issue. Six main
:07:44. > :07:48.suppliers are holding and strangling the Government and market. We have
:07:49. > :07:53.no choice, we can't go out elsewhere and ensure the gas pliers are all in
:07:54. > :07:56.a competition. Borriello We have a regulator. The
:07:57. > :08:00.regulator needs to pull their finger out and sort this situation out.
:08:01. > :08:03.Especially when there are a lot of families at the moment who cannot
:08:04. > :08:13.heat or eat. Let's look at the Independent. A
:08:14. > :08:20.very happy-looking independent. I noticed he was Scottish. He can't be
:08:21. > :08:25.Scottish when he has won. He is only Scottish when he loses. Scottish,
:08:26. > :08:30.Britain. A worthy winner. He won, playing for Britain as Robert kindly
:08:31. > :08:36.reminds me in my ear. The first win in the Davis Cup since 1936. It
:08:37. > :08:39.wasn't quite a one-man team. He played doubles with his brother but
:08:40. > :08:43.in terms of winning matches it pretty much was. An outstanding
:08:44. > :08:48.triumph. He led to us victory in Belgium the other way, as he has
:08:49. > :08:51.done all the way through. He has been absolutely brilliant. A
:08:52. > :08:57.momentous achievement for British tennis. We have never had his like
:08:58. > :09:02.before. He deserves T he got 80,000 more votes than second-placed Kevin
:09:03. > :09:08.Sinfield and that was very much a Rugby League write-in vote followed
:09:09. > :09:13.by Jess Ennis in third and everyone's favourite boxer, Tyson
:09:14. > :09:22.Fury in fourth. Murray's winning margin was more of the votes of the
:09:23. > :09:28.candidates. Some people take issue with the title, sports personality.
:09:29. > :09:34.And even Andy Murray said a friend sent him a link to an article which
:09:35. > :09:40.said "Andy Murray is duller than a wet weekend in Worthing", which he
:09:41. > :09:45.said was a bit harsh on Murray. I didn't recognise him. He is smiling.
:09:46. > :09:50.When he lost the Wimbledon final and the nation went with him and he won
:09:51. > :09:56.at the Olympics and they were behind him. Two women behind that. His wife
:09:57. > :09:59.and his mum. And his coach I forgot that, the triumphalism of three
:10:00. > :10:04.women supporting Andrew and good for him but also good for that team
:10:05. > :10:10.behind him tonight. We must talk about the Tyson Fury issue. He was
:10:11. > :10:12.very close in the number of votes he got to Jessica Ennis Hill who was
:10:13. > :10:18.third. It would have been quite a difficult
:10:19. > :10:23.one for the BBC had Tyson Fury won this? I have a lead on this, I'm
:10:24. > :10:29.sory. The whole issue, is a lot of people excuse his behaviour or his
:10:30. > :10:34.comment because he is a northern, even said, white-working class lad,
:10:35. > :10:39.done good but I know another working class man, John amery, he is gay. If
:10:40. > :10:42.you remember he is a basketball player. That's the whole issue.
:10:43. > :10:46.Sending out the message to society - what is right and proper. Can you
:10:47. > :10:52.start Banning things? I don't want him banned. A lot of people z didn't
:10:53. > :10:58.they? I thought it was wrong. I have always approved. The fact is,
:10:59. > :11:04.whatever you think of Fury's views, which I find utterly reprehensible
:11:05. > :11:07.in every bone of my body, he is also the world heavyweight boxing
:11:08. > :11:12.champion which is a huge achievement, baeteding, as he z
:11:13. > :11:16.Klitschko this giant who nominated the sport for ten years, effectively
:11:17. > :11:20.in his back yard, it was a remarkable achievement. With
:11:21. > :11:23.somebody with views who a lot of people found to be offensive,
:11:24. > :11:27.irrespective of who they are, isn't there a problem in giving them an
:11:28. > :11:31.award that sort of celebrates their personality, when a lot of people
:11:32. > :11:38.find some of that aspect difficult to stomach? The thing about it, it
:11:39. > :11:42.is called Sports Personality, as it always has been, actually it is
:11:43. > :11:48.Sports Person of the Year. Their achievement. We have had odd winners
:11:49. > :11:54.in the past, it is fair to say, and you would wonder how they wanted.
:11:55. > :12:00.Personally, I didn't want fury to win, he didn't, he came fourth. That
:12:01. > :12:04.will do. Back to today's Teloni - cheese turned into -- to the
:12:05. > :12:10.Telegraph. Cheese turned into electricity. If
:12:11. > :12:14.there's a will there's a whey. Generating electricity from cheese.
:12:15. > :12:24.Sounds like a plot from a comic but that's what is happening in a new
:12:25. > :12:39.power plant in the Alps, says David Chazan, formerly of this BBC parish.
:12:40. > :12:46.It provides electricity that provides electricity and it is sold
:12:47. > :12:51.to an electricity company EDF. It is going to be the way forward. We are
:12:52. > :12:58.going to be seeing more and more uses of biofuel like this. A
:12:59. > :13:02.micro-generation where people from villages and small towns, that their
:13:03. > :13:08.generation comes locally into the home. We can't have the situation
:13:09. > :13:12.now where we are piping power to our cities from miles away. And where
:13:13. > :13:19.else but France could this be pioneered. That's the papers for
:13:20. > :13:24.this hour. Mike and Sophia will be back again.
:13:25. > :13:29.Everyone is feisty tonight. I quite like it. We will be back to look at
:13:30. > :13:34.the front pages. Coming up next, it is Click.
