:00:00. > :00:13.Africa on Boxing Day. That is coming up in 15 minutes after the papers.
:00:14. > :00:16.Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers
:00:17. > :00:21.With me are are the former Trade Minister, Lord Digby Jones,
:00:22. > :00:29.The FT - it reports that Apple has launched a fightback against
:00:30. > :00:31.Temperatures will reach 17 centigrade
:00:32. > :00:33.during tomorrow's winter solstice - as warm as the summer solstice
:00:34. > :00:43.The Express says that hospitals are making up to ?3.7 million each per
:00:44. > :00:50.year from car park charges on patients.
:00:51. > :00:53.The Mirror also has that story, as well an interview with
:00:54. > :01:00.British families spent ?40 billion more than earned this year,
:01:01. > :01:02.fuelling fears of a new crash, reports the Independent.
:01:03. > :01:05.The decision to ban Sepp Blatter and Michel Platini from football for
:01:06. > :01:09.David Cameron has been urged by the former chancellor Lord Lawson to
:01:10. > :01:21.allow cabinet ministers to campaign to leave the EU, says the Mail.
:01:22. > :01:28.Ruth Jones, we are going to start with Fifa, the front of the Guardian
:01:29. > :01:35.-- Lord Jones. Sepp Blatter it is getting it in the next more damaging
:01:36. > :01:40.for Michel Platini. They are both getting it in the neck. It depends
:01:41. > :01:45.on what each of them say. For Sepp Blatter it is the end. This is his
:01:46. > :01:49.legacy. This is what they will remember
:01:50. > :01:53.corruption. They have thrown the book at him. The Guardian say, in
:01:54. > :01:58.addition to the alleged corruption with a potential lifetime ban, the
:01:59. > :02:05.charges were based on other breaches of mismanagement, non- cooperation.
:02:06. > :02:08.He wants to be fought as the man who took the game to all of the
:02:09. > :02:14.developing world. That is a noble purpose. He will end up with the
:02:15. > :02:17.image of a man who clung to power, the nails coming down the door close
:02:18. > :02:20.as they take him out. That has ruined him. That is what is so
:02:21. > :02:30.painful. Football has this. We saw this with the IOC. We
:02:31. > :02:36.will see it with the IAAF, with Lord Coe. We have seen it in cycling with
:02:37. > :02:43.Lance Armstrong, clearing people like Chris Froome, winning the Tour
:02:44. > :02:49.de France. Football has to go through this. Sepp Blatter will feel
:02:50. > :02:57.wrongly done. That is his problem. If he can show it is wrong, let him
:02:58. > :03:01.put it forward. And Platini has this problem, he did something, he didn't
:03:02. > :03:04.worry that Blatter might not be around to recorded, and now you are
:03:05. > :03:13.saving he paid me the money just before he needed my vote. That
:03:14. > :03:15.unaccountable and that was the problem. You shouldn't be so
:03:16. > :03:21.cynical. Onto the Times. Interesting front page. None of the other papers
:03:22. > :03:30.have it. SAS fighter stops Taliban in Helmand. The district where 100
:03:31. > :03:36.Britons lost their lives. That is right, in the town of Sangin, which
:03:37. > :03:38.has fallen after a weekend siege. It looks as though the Afghan forces
:03:39. > :03:44.cannot hold it without refute and American help. We are seeing 60
:03:45. > :03:47.American special forces and 30 British SAS -- British. They are
:03:48. > :03:52.going to try to wins this back. It going to try to wins this back. It
:03:53. > :03:58.calls into question the whole mission. British and American troops
:03:59. > :04:05.were therefore their best part of years -- win. They want to enable
:04:06. > :04:11.them from that place of the country to take back the country and
:04:12. > :04:14.maintain and run it as a fledgeling democracy. That hasn't happened.
:04:15. > :04:21.People are asking if it was worth it. It was always a west is
:04:22. > :04:31.province. -- Mesto. It was a stronghold of -- they working to win
:04:32. > :04:40.back -- restive stronghold. There are two sides to this story. Both of
:04:41. > :04:46.them are so sad. The first is, clearly, if we are going to be in at
:04:47. > :04:53.all, we pulled out to only. It says here, the Afghan forces were not yet
:04:54. > :04:54.ready for this. And both Britain and America, responding to democracy...
:04:55. > :05:02.(CROSSTALK). The home. And that is a problem. The
:05:03. > :05:09.biggest thing, especially this time of year, and it is not just of the
:05:10. > :05:15.456 British fatalities in Afghanistan, a quarter of which
:05:16. > :05:21.occurred in Sangin. Think of the guys who lost their legs and arms.
:05:22. > :05:25.This Christmas is going to be mums and dads who look at photos of kids
:05:26. > :05:29.who never go home. -- who never came home. If you see a photo of a kid
:05:30. > :05:35.who didn't come home from the Second World War, the Falklands as well,
:05:36. > :05:38.with a noble purpose, liberating people and relieving people, it does
:05:39. > :05:43.think that at least it was worth it. think that at least it was worth it.
:05:44. > :05:55.Many feel it was worth it. Many feel they were right to go in. Clare
:05:56. > :06:00.Short was for Afghanistan. It might well have been worth it. You have to
:06:01. > :06:03.stay there and see it succeed. Coming home, and none will be
:06:04. > :06:09.holding a photo and thinking it really wasn't worth it. -- a mum.
:06:10. > :06:16.That is the greater story from this headline. While we are thinking
:06:17. > :06:23.about IAS and assuming Al-Qaeda was in retreat, and the Taliban, who are
:06:24. > :06:30.no longer relevant, in their own country, Afghanistan, they are
:06:31. > :06:31.strong -- IS. The Taliban and ISIS, so-called Islamic State, are
:06:32. > :06:42.actually fighting each other. Not the same theatre operations. They
:06:43. > :06:48.are enemies. It is unclear what version of Islam... Some poor
:06:49. > :06:58.civilian will be caught up in it. That can never be good. Moving to
:06:59. > :07:06.the Independent. A really interesting topline story. It was
:07:07. > :07:11.highlighted by you -- top line. Sun told to put the Jeremy Corbyn
:07:12. > :07:17.apology on the front page. When we were coming in for the 10:30pm slot,
:07:18. > :07:29.we thought it and I wondered what it was about. I ask your good people to
:07:30. > :07:43.get the people for the 11:30pm slot, the Sun are being held by IPSO, the
:07:44. > :07:46.Khat -- independent press office. 30-3040 years ago we brought in the
:07:47. > :07:51.idea that the leader of the opposition can be paid for being the
:07:52. > :07:57.leader of the opposition -- 30-40. You should pay someone to oppose the
:07:58. > :08:01.government, it is fabulous. It is called Short money. It has nothing
:08:02. > :08:06.to do with brevity. The story was about how he uses this money. The
:08:07. > :08:12.Sun have been judged that they were inaccurate. To be clear, the Sun was
:08:13. > :08:18.ordered to publish a front-page correction for a story, falsely
:08:19. > :08:21.claiming the Labour leader only agreed to be initiated as privy
:08:22. > :08:25.councillor because his party stood to gain financially to get this
:08:26. > :08:28.short money when in fact it is a long-standing convention that the
:08:29. > :08:32.leader of the opposition can get the money, which is allocated according
:08:33. > :08:36.to a formula which does not depend on whether the party leader is a
:08:37. > :08:42.Privy Council. The Sun got it wrong. They got it completely wrong. And
:08:43. > :08:45.they deliberately got it wrong. I won't get into whether it was
:08:46. > :08:51.deliberate. They were factually inaccurate. IPSO say that you are
:08:52. > :08:55.going to... (CROSSTALK). The regulator say. Where you ran the
:08:56. > :09:01.story. I believe that if the press are told to put apologies where
:09:02. > :09:05.won the story, this would end overnight. Their newspapers would be
:09:06. > :09:11.full of apologies -- run. Rather than on page 57. So they are told to
:09:12. > :09:21.do it, and that caught my eye in the Independent that. -- Independent.
:09:22. > :09:25.Then on the Sun, this exclusive on the politicians having an affair,
:09:26. > :09:31.and then down on the bottom left corner, so small that you can hardly
:09:32. > :09:36.see it, IPSO complaint on Labour Short Money is upheld, on page two.
:09:37. > :09:41.The apology is on the apology is on to five words at the bottom of
:09:42. > :09:51.whatever it is. Exploiting the loophole. It is clearly a loophole.
:09:52. > :09:56.The regulations should say that the apology should be the same size as
:09:57. > :10:08.the offence. Let's bring the offence. That is the apology. Let's
:10:09. > :10:11.see the offence. He varied lives. -- there it is. The front page on the
:10:12. > :10:18.left where the Sun made the mistake and the apology is on the bottom,
:10:19. > :10:25.the right, on the bottom left, you can't even make it out. If they were
:10:26. > :10:29.told to put the apology on the front page, they don't even include the
:10:30. > :10:36.word sorry. They put IPSO complaint is upheld. It would be nice to see
:10:37. > :10:41.the word sorry. First of all, they don't apologise. Secondly, the size
:10:42. > :10:51.of the apology, the non- apology, is miniscule. It is an insult. It
:10:52. > :10:56.should not end there. We have always said IPSO has no teeth. Hopefully
:10:57. > :11:01.this body should result in a body with teeth. Let's see what they do
:11:02. > :11:06.as a result of this. Where I think it is right that this is taken up is
:11:07. > :11:14.it is in the Sun's best interest that they do this properly. I for
:11:15. > :11:18.one want to see a free press. I don't want loads of regulation. I
:11:19. > :11:26.believe it is right that this partly to the review of Canon -- can prick
:11:27. > :11:30.us and I don't want censorship in the wrong way. It will only work if
:11:31. > :11:36.they deal with it in the way it is meant to be dealt with. There will
:11:37. > :11:38.be more regulation if they don't. The members have Hacked Off the
:11:39. > :11:44.organisation representing those who have had their phones hacked as part
:11:45. > :11:47.of the results of elements within News International -- hacked off.
:11:48. > :11:52.They would say that they can afford to do that because they got away
:11:53. > :11:56.with it. They can get away with it. There is no suggestion from the
:11:57. > :11:59.Leveson Inquiry that it will continue to a second phase. That is
:12:00. > :12:05.what it was supposed to have done. That has been thrown out. The bottom
:12:06. > :12:09.line is, newspapers can act this way because there has been nothing in
:12:10. > :12:16.recent history. We are in complete agreement. This is a test of IPSO.
:12:17. > :12:20.We need to see consequence and a full-page apology because they
:12:21. > :12:28.it wrong and they have got it deliberately so. It going to need
:12:29. > :12:32.someone to go to IPSO and make a fresh complaints -- it's going to
:12:33. > :12:37.need. Will you do that? It is common in the Labour Party machine. It was
:12:38. > :12:44.actually an ordinary punter who bought this original in. Try to get
:12:45. > :12:51.through to people. -- port. If we want the free press that a mature
:12:52. > :12:55.democracy should have, you have to rely on the press to do the right
:12:56. > :12:58.thing. The right thing in this case is to do what they were told to do
:12:59. > :13:05.and not try to get away with it. The problem is... (CROSSTALK). It will
:13:06. > :13:11.bring more regulation. In media organisations there is group think.
:13:12. > :13:16.People adhere to a particular philosophy. It knows no boundaries
:13:17. > :13:22.or morals. We are going for him, whichever way we can, which is what
:13:23. > :13:25.we have to do. I just wish, because the CBI, government and everything
:13:26. > :13:30.else, have always tried to have less regulation and less rules, not more.
:13:31. > :13:35.Because you trust them. Because I believe it frees the spirit.
:13:36. > :13:38.(CROSSTALK). If they don't do it they will get more regulation and
:13:39. > :13:42.more rules, which is what we don't want. There are some people who will
:13:43. > :13:47.say that if you cannot have the regulation to stop this kind of
:13:48. > :13:56.thing, after the phone of a dead girl has been hacked, it it ain't
:13:57. > :14:03.gonna change! We will see what they will do. Onto the Telegraph. Down at
:14:04. > :14:10.the bottom, there is a row going on where students of this college in
:14:11. > :14:13.Oxford have removed a clerk in honour of Cecil Rhodes and they want
:14:14. > :14:20.to now pull down the statue because of his obvious prejudice, some would
:14:21. > :14:27.say racism, historically. And Mary Beard, the Cambridge academic, has
:14:28. > :14:31.said he was a prejudiced man but not necessarily racist. By the way
:14:32. > :14:37.students, you can't have your cake and eat it because you have a Rhodes
:14:38. > :14:43.scholar and take the money, but want to get rid of this. That is the
:14:44. > :14:47.argument. I would ask for people to be judged on the time when they were
:14:48. > :14:52.there. If you want a really good lesson in this, Thomas Jefferson,
:14:53. > :14:58.the father of the Constitution of the United States, this huge pillar
:14:59. > :15:00.of representation of the people for the people by the people and the
:15:01. > :15:05.rest of it, owned four slaves and had sex with them. At the end of the
:15:06. > :15:08.day we are judging him with a different set of rules. We are
:15:09. > :15:15.judging people of that later, the Confederate flag, the
:15:16. > :15:19.statues of Confederate leaders, like Jefferson, have been taken down on
:15:20. > :15:24.university campuses, including the deep south of the US, because people
:15:25. > :15:30.are using the enlightened morals they have today to judge that time
:15:31. > :15:34.find those people wanting. We have the right to do that. We live in a
:15:35. > :15:41.free world. This can only be a question of opinion. How many
:15:42. > :15:46.opinions to Jefferson allow. If someone wants to pull down the
:15:47. > :15:53.statue, they should pay back the scholarship. Is the money of the
:15:54. > :16:00.ancestors! Henry and DB, as ever, great to have you in. And Merry
:16:01. > :16:04.Christmas -- Digby. I don't know if we can say this to everyone who
:16:05. > :16:12.watches but thank you for putting us together. Yeah it is not easy as you
:16:13. > :16:29.know. The top of the hour, Newsday, now, Sportsday.
:16:30. > :16:32.of the Premier League, after beating Manchester City tonight.
