:00:00. > :00:00.tributes to Don Howe, the former England international and coach, who

:00:00. > :00:00.has died at the age of 80. All coming up in Sportsday in 15 minutes

:00:00. > :00:23.after the papers. So, welcome to our look ahead to

:00:24. > :00:29.what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow, we are joined by Oliver

:00:30. > :00:33.Wright. Just before you what they have to say about tomorrow's papers,

:00:34. > :00:38.let's take you through a view of the front pages, a flooded street scene

:00:39. > :00:43.from York dominates the Independent, also reporting on how Britain

:00:44. > :00:46.leaving VE you could lead to the loss of funding to scientific

:00:47. > :00:50.research. Storm Eva is the focus of the Daily Express, warning of 80 mph

:00:51. > :00:58.gales and torrential downpours over the next few days. In a similar

:00:59. > :01:13.vein, the i warning through this to expect a wash-out winter. The FT,

:01:14. > :01:16.and the Telegraph leads on an Oxford University research

:01:17. > :01:24.the Daily Mail, maternity wards can not cope, half of how to turn down

:01:25. > :01:28.women in labour because of a lack of beds. Not quite silly season, still

:01:29. > :01:34.a lot of stories around. Very interesting story on the front page

:01:35. > :01:43.of the Guardian, reporting on a UK imam who has had his Business Visa

:01:44. > :01:47.evoked, and it appears to be -- revoked, and it appears to be the

:01:48. > :01:51.latest in a showing of Muslim families being turned away from

:01:52. > :01:56.America. This follows on from the story yesterday of a Muslim family

:01:57. > :01:59.who spent ?9,000 on a holiday to Disneyland, only to be told at

:02:00. > :02:04.Gatwick sorry, you can't come in. Now we have a British imam who had a

:02:05. > :02:08.business Visa, sounds like he travels a lot to the States over the

:02:09. > :02:11.last few months with no problem. He went to Heathrow, about a get on the

:02:12. > :02:15.flight and was stopped by people who you said were embassy staff,

:02:16. > :02:20.American embassy staff, slightly odd that they were at Heathrow, and they

:02:21. > :02:24.said sorry, your Visa has been revoked. Again, no explanation. It

:02:25. > :02:29.is a really difficult story because a few tender round the other way and

:02:30. > :02:36.we had people coming into the UK, I am sure it would be, if there is any

:02:37. > :02:39.risk, we should not let them in, but if it is British people going to

:02:40. > :02:45.America we look at a slightly different way. There is no

:02:46. > :02:48.explanation. Nothing they can do about it, they don't get the money

:02:49. > :02:51.for the flight back. We probably do need a bit more transparency, if

:02:52. > :02:58.there is a threat, you should say so. What did he have to say that

:02:59. > :03:05.this, because he was a Liberal Democrat candidate at one point. He

:03:06. > :03:08.has had quite a lot to say about it. There is a line further down in the

:03:09. > :03:13.story where he says he has received a call from the embassy who are keen

:03:14. > :03:19.to sort the matter out. I can't help feeling that when do much use in the

:03:20. > :03:27.interim to claim, as he does, and this is obviously the main hook the

:03:28. > :03:33.Guardian has gone on, the US State Department, if I were the USM is

:03:34. > :03:38.here that think that would go down terribly well. He has clearly spoken

:03:39. > :03:40.at length to the Guardian. He describes the official who dealt

:03:41. > :03:46.with them directly as cold, calculated and very unhelpful, and

:03:47. > :03:51.apparently adding later, you must've done something before walking away.

:03:52. > :04:00.He claims to know of other British doesn't have also been turned away.

:04:01. > :04:06.Some staggering figures, more than 120,000 visas were revoked during

:04:07. > :04:09.2001, and of those 900 have been pulled because of terrorism

:04:10. > :04:13.concerns. Do you think there is a danger being put out of context,

:04:14. > :04:25.because there are Visa forms you have to fill in before you can

:04:26. > :04:32.travel to America now, ETAs. Yes, is you can get to America and they can

:04:33. > :04:33.turn you back. The American homeland security department are not

:04:34. > :04:41.necessarily the friendliest people in the world. His ESTA was turned

:04:42. > :04:51.down, and what he subsequently got was a business and tourism Visa.

:04:52. > :04:55.Terry Ord. Stella Creasy has had a lot to say about it because a family

:04:56. > :05:03.in her constituency were turned away. Let's move onto the Financial

:05:04. > :05:16.Times, US banks hit by cheap oil as Opec warns of low time -- all-time

:05:17. > :05:21.low. That figure resonates, a low of $36 a barrel, given where it was

:05:22. > :05:26.just a year ago, quite a steep fall. The point of the FT story, and I am

:05:27. > :05:35.no economist and nor do I fully understand banking, but it seems US

:05:36. > :05:38.banks sort of set stress test scenarios for oil price falling,

:05:39. > :05:43.presumably so they remain solvent and they can trade and so on. But

:05:44. > :05:49.today it was like oil prices are about 55% below the level when the

:05:50. > :05:53.Federal reserve is set last year stress tests, the pointed it is much

:05:54. > :06:01.worse than they expected to be forced you are doing quite well

:06:02. > :06:09.there, David! Do I sound like I know what I'm talking about? Who you are

:06:10. > :06:14.depends on what cheap oil means. Good on the pumps, as David Cameron

:06:15. > :06:20.likes to say. Opec are predicting it took 25 years to go back to 2008

:06:21. > :06:25.levels of $100 a barrel. The good news is you have years of cheaper

:06:26. > :06:32.petrol for motorists, that news for a lot of the big oil companies, it

:06:33. > :06:36.has collapsed over the last few years and are unlikely to improve

:06:37. > :06:39.any time soon. These things are cyclical but it is predicting the

:06:40. > :06:47.span of that cycle I suppose is the trick. Another story you have

:06:48. > :06:55.spotted, trying to find the Christmas spirit on the streets of

:06:56. > :06:58.Paris. A city trying hard to move on from those awful terrorist attacks.

:06:59. > :07:08.What should be a busy time of the year for them. Hotel occupancy down

:07:09. > :07:17.by 30%, flight bookings down, business down by as much as 80%. In

:07:18. > :07:22.Europe, after the London Bombings in 2005, these things do recover. There

:07:23. > :07:27.is a short-term impact, I am sure in six months to a year's time, things

:07:28. > :07:31.will be much as they were. Still not great if you are there at the time.

:07:32. > :07:35.Difficult for the people living there as much as anything else. You

:07:36. > :07:42.saw the climate change talks, future levels of security, and we remember

:07:43. > :07:45.that in London. The deputy mayor says as much, it will get better but

:07:46. > :07:55.it will take some time. Again it would be surprising if it didn't.

:07:56. > :07:59.Several friends of mine have been in Paris over the last few weeks, and

:08:00. > :08:11.The Daily Telegraph, heart pill for would be quieter than usual.

:08:12. > :08:22.The Daily Telegraph, heart pill for half of Britons. The sub headline

:08:23. > :08:26.explains it better, experts say prescribing cheap medication for BP

:08:27. > :08:34.will save millions of lives. A lot of these stories are creeping up at

:08:35. > :08:39.the moment, more could be done. It is an example of what a lot of

:08:40. > :08:44.health care specialists say the should be a shift from reactive

:08:45. > :08:56.medicine to preventative health care. So boiled down, if something

:08:57. > :08:59.called systolic pressure, no, they -- for each drop in something or the

:09:00. > :09:03.other it is found to reduce the risk of heart attack by one fifth,

:09:04. > :09:09.strokes by a quarter, and death from all quarters by 13%. If that worked,

:09:10. > :09:13.although I imagine -- I imagine distributing this many heart pills,

:09:14. > :09:20.if it worked, I suppose it would save the NHS an awful lot of money

:09:21. > :09:24.in the long term. It follows on from the big stat in debate, how could

:09:25. > :09:28.they were, and now this is another drug. You are talking about

:09:29. > :09:32.medicalising a generation at a certain age, you start taking your

:09:33. > :09:37.pills twice a day. Actually, it could be an extremely good thing.

:09:38. > :09:42.They could even end up putting it in the water. Shall we have a little

:09:43. > :09:51.look at Christmas? It is soon. Back to the FT. A very Christmassy

:09:52. > :09:54.photograph of the Beatles, and this is of course because of the

:09:55. > :10:01.announcement today that fans of the Beatles will be able to listen to

:10:02. > :10:07.all 13 studio rounds on streaming sites. -- studio albums was that why

:10:08. > :10:13.has not happened before? There is a wonderfully catty quote from Mark

:10:14. > :10:17.Mulligan, a music industry analyst, who says the Beatles state is always

:10:18. > :10:20.fashionably late to the Digital party, so it seems they have form

:10:21. > :10:24.for dragging their feet when it comes to this. Although, as you say

:10:25. > :10:27.the picture is Christmassy, the Fab four gathered round a Christmas

:10:28. > :10:31.tree, but I can't think of any Beatles music that was particularly

:10:32. > :10:36.Christmassy. They didn't do Christmas on is, did they? Elvers,

:10:37. > :10:40.Bing Crosby, but I can't think of any Beatles Christmas June. They

:10:41. > :10:44.have done well to make this into a Christmas story. A really famous

:10:45. > :10:49.photograph, and I are wasting what an appalling Christmas tree!

:10:50. > :10:52.Completely out of shape. It looks really straggly and really badly

:10:53. > :11:00.decorated! Apart from that it is all right. I feel like sorting it out.

:11:01. > :11:03.Let's move onto the mirror. This is a bit worrying if you're going to

:11:04. > :11:08.pick up your turkey tomorrow, as many of you will be. Particularly if

:11:09. > :11:19.you have ordered it from M and S. That is a cue for a turkey. I have

:11:20. > :11:24.to say, my mum went to collect stuff from M today and so it wasn't too

:11:25. > :11:29.bad. In Beckenham, this is where the two-hour queue was, presumably

:11:30. > :11:36.everyone turned up at the same time to do exactly the same thing. Not

:11:37. > :11:43.great PR for Marks Spencer 's. People could have got there may be a

:11:44. > :11:49.little bit sooner. Leigh staff handed out mince pies to try to

:11:50. > :11:53.placate angry shoppers. The tweeters, and of course people take

:11:54. > :11:58.to Twitter in such instances, were not impressed even by the mince

:11:59. > :12:01.pies. They haven't really got to the bottom of what the problem is that

:12:02. > :12:06.is my understanding of MNS is that they give you an allocated time to

:12:07. > :12:13.pick up your food or your turkey? They were clearly willing to wait.

:12:14. > :12:19.Not much choice! To the Telegraph is top evidently plum pudding is no

:12:20. > :12:23.longer the star of the Christmas feast. I don't I have ever had plum

:12:24. > :12:29.pudding for the nor have I. This is entirely alien to my experience of

:12:30. > :12:32.Christmas. In Telegraph land, it has been a centrepiece of the Christmas

:12:33. > :12:37.feast since Victorian times apparently, but no more. For the

:12:38. > :12:40.first time, Tesco is on course to sell more single portions of

:12:41. > :12:43.Christmas puddings than family size ones but crucially these are

:12:44. > :12:47.chocolate -based desert, which are becoming more popular rather than

:12:48. > :12:55.plum pudding. Do you like brandy sauce? Though. I don't know anyone

:12:56. > :12:59.who does, but I love it. Brandy butter or brandy sauce? Brandy sauce

:13:00. > :13:04.is like custard basically. But you can't set it on fire? You can set

:13:05. > :13:07.the pudding on fire, let's hope we never end up on one of those cookery

:13:08. > :13:10.programmes because we will be useless! It will not be a great

:13:11. > :13:15.Christmas for a lot of people, particularly in Cumbria. The

:13:16. > :13:20.Independent with a picture that basically says it all. About the

:13:21. > :13:28.third flood in a month -- in a month for many people. That picture is

:13:29. > :13:36.from York. The Cambrian situation is pretty grim. We saw it on the front

:13:37. > :13:40.page of the eye. You get waterlogged ground and when you get fresh rain

:13:41. > :13:43.it just gets first is that the profile worse than it might have

:13:44. > :13:46.been had come on the dry ground and that is the problem you have got

:13:47. > :13:49.there. David, Oliver, many thanks for taking us through the newspapers

:13:50. > :13:56.will stop we will do it again in hour. Thanks to you as well for

:13:57. > :13:59.watching. We will be back at 11:30pm, and at 11, Moore on the

:14:00. > :14:00.clean-up in Cumbria and the warnings of further into, as well. Coming up

:14:01. > :14:11.next, Sportsday. Hello and welcome to Sportsday -

:14:12. > :14:14.I'm Hugh Woozencroft -
