:00:00. > :00:18.England are expected to bring James Anderson back into the side.
:00:19. > :00:21.Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be
:00:22. > :00:24.With me are the political commentator Miranda Green
:00:25. > :00:26.and the Daily Telegraph's chief political correspondent,
:00:27. > :00:40.Thank you for being the first paper reviewers of 2016. Setting the year
:00:41. > :00:42.off on a good standard, I hope. We can look at the front pages.
:00:43. > :00:48.The FT's picture is of the shooting in Tel Aviv.
:00:49. > :00:51.They also feature President Obama's New Year's message and a claim
:00:52. > :00:54.he is planning to bypass Congress to impose new controls on gun sales.
:00:55. > :00:57.Pope Francis at his New Year's Day mass dominates the front
:00:58. > :01:02.It also reports on the potential for British troops to face criminal
:01:03. > :01:08.charges over abuse and unlawful killing during the Iraq War.
:01:09. > :01:10.The Daily Mail has comments from the first wife of suspended
:01:11. > :01:14.Simon Danczuk about the impact which the allegation that he sent
:01:15. > :01:16.explicit messages to a 17-year-old is having on their family.
:01:17. > :01:19."A student cheating crisis" is the headline on the Times.
:01:20. > :01:21.It says almost 50,000 students have been caught cheating
:01:22. > :01:27.The I says Jeremy Corbyn must get 35% of the vote in next year's
:01:28. > :01:36.elections if he's to avoid a coup from fellow party members.
:01:37. > :01:38.The Sun reports on a former EastEnders actress, Sian Blake,
:01:39. > :01:41.who has been missing with her two young children for almost three
:01:42. > :01:44.Government plans to double the fine for littering to ?150
:01:45. > :01:48.And the Mirror has claims from a couple who say they missed
:01:49. > :01:51.out on a ?35 million lottery jackpot, because of a mix-up
:01:52. > :02:09.Welcome. Let's begin with the FT Weekend, a two-day paper, so plenty
:02:10. > :02:13.of time for people to delve into this but a striking story on the
:02:14. > :02:19.front page as President Obama enters his final 12 months in office. What
:02:20. > :02:26.he has done is returned to an issue he has been vocal on before, which
:02:27. > :02:30.is gun control, which in America is incredibly controversial. The
:02:31. > :02:35.Republican party refuses to countenance control on who can buy
:02:36. > :02:40.and keep weapons. Plenty of Democrats feel the same. Because of
:02:41. > :02:45.the American system it is difficult to get legislation through and in
:02:46. > :02:49.2013 they tried with a bipartisan Bill after the Newtown school
:02:50. > :02:53.killings which was blocked in the Senate and President Obama is
:02:54. > :02:59.determined to return to this is his last few months to try to introduce
:03:00. > :03:05.a background check on who can buy guns. It is controversial and part
:03:06. > :03:10.of the rise of Donald Trump, the phenomenon in the Republican
:03:11. > :03:14.selection as to who will run against we think Hillary Clinton, is the
:03:15. > :03:19.idea that America and President Obama do not understand each other
:03:20. > :03:25.and so trying to take on America's love of guns is controversial. It
:03:26. > :03:31.has legacy written all over it. His comments are so important. When the
:03:32. > :03:36.most recent massacre happened he said the reporting and reaction is
:03:37. > :03:45.routine and it must stop. He was so cross. He has woken up to the fact
:03:46. > :03:49.the clock is ticking. When you read the detail, it says he has been
:03:50. > :03:52.pushing hard for background checks on those buying guns and would like
:03:53. > :04:02.them to be mandatory which Congress will not permit. The only power he
:04:03. > :04:08.has is to expand regulations, for background checks on people selling
:04:09. > :04:12.the guns. The wrong way round. It is a tiny step towards even having a
:04:13. > :04:18.conversation on controlling who has the guns. It is interesting when you
:04:19. > :04:23.talk to Americans about this, they will quote to you, very clear in
:04:24. > :04:27.their minds, about the right to bear arms. When you look at the
:04:28. > :04:33.Constitution, it is the right to bear arms as part of a well ordered
:04:34. > :04:40.militia, presumably when there was no police force and presumably the
:04:41. > :04:49.police force is armed. They reserve their right to have their cake and
:04:50. > :04:55.eat it. Loretta Lynch, the scourge of Fifa. If anybody can do it,
:04:56. > :05:00.perhaps she can. That is an interesting thought. We will find
:05:01. > :05:05.out more on Monday. In the Times newspaper, and very intriguing
:05:06. > :05:09.story. An interesting report from the special correspondent who has
:05:10. > :05:18.done investigations and he says he has found 50 student is caught
:05:19. > :05:26.cheating at British universities. Many more likely to cheat in exams
:05:27. > :05:32.rather than coursework. The Times newspaper has done it in a measured
:05:33. > :05:38.way, but it is alarming. Extraordinary these figures. You try
:05:39. > :05:41.to get Freedom of Information on these figures but you have to go to
:05:42. > :05:45.individual university groups and to pull them together in one go is
:05:46. > :05:51.interesting. Students coming from outside the EU to British
:05:52. > :05:56.universities are an important source of revenue. Our universities charge
:05:57. > :06:01.extraordinary multiples of what British and EU students pay. Is
:06:02. > :06:04.there a debate on whether the scale of fees foreign students pay,
:06:05. > :06:10.significantly higher than paid by our student is, whether they create
:06:11. > :06:16.an incentive for people to behave in a way they might not otherwise
:06:17. > :06:22.behave. It is an interesting point. We are as the UK in competition with
:06:23. > :06:25.other English-speaking nations to attract people to universities.
:06:26. > :06:31.Partly because we want the best people from around the world. We
:06:32. > :06:39.want them to stay here and win Nobel prizes here! That they are a source
:06:40. > :06:43.of revenue. In the detail of the story, which looks robust as an
:06:44. > :06:47.investigation, there is an extraordinary one, five cases of
:06:48. > :06:51.impersonation where students arrange for someone else to sit exams on
:06:52. > :07:00.their behalf. Imagine getting someone else to turn up to suit your
:07:01. > :07:04.Ph.D. . Less than 1% of those found guilty of misconduct. If you aren't
:07:05. > :07:10.getting a lot of money from foreign students, you might not want to
:07:11. > :07:15.chuck them out. Are they enforcing the rules properly? Presumably it
:07:16. > :07:20.will raise questions they will have to answer about procedures, and for
:07:21. > :07:27.the employers who might say, is that degree quite as good as I thought it
:07:28. > :07:32.was? Colonel Gaddafi, something to do with his Ph.D. In the past... ? I
:07:33. > :07:37.think there have been a lot of allegations that he is not with us
:07:38. > :07:43.to offer a response, so perhaps we will move on to the I newspaper.
:07:44. > :07:50.This man, almost the man of the year in terms of publicity in 2015,
:07:51. > :07:56.Jeremy Corbyn. This is fascinating. You have written a piece for the
:07:57. > :08:05.Guardian and about pantomime. I do not what -- know what character he
:08:06. > :08:10.would be. Dick Whittington? The streets of London paved with
:08:11. > :08:15.electoral gold? Jack the giant killer. This piece says Jeremy
:08:16. > :08:20.Corbyn's team are letting it be known they think the benchmark for
:08:21. > :08:27.success in the May elections is for Labour to get a 35% vote share,
:08:28. > :08:31.which could lead to do with managing expectations as to what would allow
:08:32. > :08:36.him to survive as leader. A lot of the backchat has been, will there be
:08:37. > :08:41.a coup against Corbyn by the moderate wing of the party? We
:08:42. > :08:45.expect Jeremy Corbyn in the next weeks to probably knife his Shadow
:08:46. > :08:52.Cabinet who are not onside. The drama will not go away any time
:08:53. > :08:58.soon. 35%, they are playing down arguably expectations. Roughly 2%
:08:59. > :09:05.above the average they are polling at the moment. Local elections are
:09:06. > :09:14.not the same thing but we will try to map this on to a figure for the
:09:15. > :09:18.next general election. You mentioned reshuffle. What is your sense of
:09:19. > :09:22.this? There has been debate about whether it would happen. We had it
:09:23. > :09:28.with that stuff in one of the Labour whip saying it is time to deal with
:09:29. > :09:35.these traitors. Others trying to slap him down. John Ashworth saying
:09:36. > :09:39.he should not have said it. Nobody is saying whether the reshuffle is
:09:40. > :09:44.taking place. They say it is a matter for the leader and we are
:09:45. > :09:50.told it is next week. How far does it go, dealing with the 11 or so
:09:51. > :09:57.members of his close group of Shadow Cabinet who voted against him on
:09:58. > :10:01.Syria. What is the risk? It already is called among the media the
:10:02. > :10:06.revenge reshuffle, which is a problem because everything he does
:10:07. > :10:10.to assert his authority is seen as part of the ideological battle and
:10:11. > :10:14.spirit within the party and it goes back to the phenomenon of someone
:10:15. > :10:18.who rebelled against the previous Labour leaders over 500 times,
:10:19. > :10:25.trying to impose stern party discipline. You remember this, I can
:10:26. > :10:30.remember a former minister under John Major when I asked him about
:10:31. > :10:38.Iain Duncan Smith's demand for loyalty, saying some expletive rich
:10:39. > :10:44.responses about what he thought. Because he had been a serial rebel
:10:45. > :10:50.and made John Major's life hell in that period. In the Independent
:10:51. > :10:54.newspaper, this is serious. The striking photograph of Pope Francis
:10:55. > :11:01.kissing a statue of baby Jesus on New Year's Day. What do you make of
:11:02. > :11:08.this? The context, a rambling about human rights we are seeing at the
:11:09. > :11:13.moment. They are concerned human rights laws are being used to
:11:14. > :11:21.prosecute soldiers, British soldiers, in foreign battlefields
:11:22. > :11:27.is. It is a great story. The reporter has found there could be as
:11:28. > :11:33.many as 200 people unlawfully killed by British soldiers. It puts it into
:11:34. > :11:38.context, if you are trying to defend, and thinking about if you
:11:39. > :11:43.will be sued at the end of that, it conflicts the idea of your job. The
:11:44. > :11:51.legacy of Iraq is very much with us, domestically also. I agree. We are
:11:52. > :11:55.waiting for pitch Chilcot report. Which we are told we will get this
:11:56. > :12:03.summer. I hate to say, let's wait and see. -- for the Chilcot report.
:12:04. > :12:09.The legacy of Iraq continues to haunt British politics. I am struck
:12:10. > :12:13.by the idea that the caseload of the group looking into unlawful killing
:12:14. > :12:23.and torture by British troops in Iraq is exploding. They were
:12:24. > :12:27.investigating 152 cases and it has swollen to 1500 potential victims of
:12:28. > :12:34.British troops behaving in a way against the laws of war, allegedly.
:12:35. > :12:40.We will hear more about this in the course of the coming months. I will
:12:41. > :12:43.let Christopher start again. I should do with this next one. A drum
:12:44. > :12:55.roll. The front of the Daily Telegraph. War declared on litter
:12:56. > :13:03.louts by one Christopher hope. It is a consultation from the government
:13:04. > :13:11.to increase on the spot litter fine. -- finds. It is something that
:13:12. > :13:19.annoys our readers. And probably a lot of other people. Some would say,
:13:20. > :13:26.about time. Also interviewed, a man who is running a clean the country
:13:27. > :13:30.for the Queen ahead of her 90th birthday and he is concerned that
:13:31. > :13:36.some people think it is a human rights to drop litter. I trace it
:13:37. > :13:40.back to when Vince were removed from London underground. An
:13:41. > :13:55.anti-terrorism strategy. After the King's Cross could be right. --
:13:56. > :14:02.Kings crossfire. You could be right. It is said we should police it. He
:14:03. > :14:08.is saying... How do you go to someone and say you have dropped a
:14:09. > :14:13.cigarette packet. Do it with politeness, he says, oh, you have
:14:14. > :14:17.dropped something stop hopefully you will embarrass them into doing
:14:18. > :14:23.something. The government is interested in this and it thinks it
:14:24. > :14:30.has done it with the supermarket levy. And also sending text messages
:14:31. > :14:34.to tell people neighbours had paid up, creating the sense you should
:14:35. > :14:41.play along. Neighbours have picked up their litter and so maybe you
:14:42. > :14:45.should. This person, a great wit, talks about why everybody should
:14:46. > :14:51.have to live in a teenager's bedroom, it is bad for your spirit.
:14:52. > :14:57.He is right. Interesting you have an American talking about it because
:14:58. > :15:02.Bill Bryson is obsessed with the way we British do not look after our
:15:03. > :15:07.country and drop litter. If they say we could improve, we should listen.
:15:08. > :15:13.Let me give you the last story from this review. The front page of the
:15:14. > :15:22.Mirror newspaper. We will leave the free slimming pull-out aside. The
:15:23. > :15:28.story at the bottom. This couple say something went wrong with their
:15:29. > :15:32.mobile phone app with which they bought their tickets, which would
:15:33. > :15:38.have been a winning ticket and they would have been able to claim ?35
:15:39. > :15:43.million. Clearly that is not a brilliant start to the new year for
:15:44. > :15:48.them, thinking what might have been. I am interested in why it is the
:15:49. > :15:53.splash and the psychology of it. You will you did to the slimming
:15:54. > :15:57.pull-out and every single front page has a diet, turn over a new leaf
:15:58. > :16:05.from page. What is the psychology of this? Are we supposed to think we
:16:06. > :16:15.feel bad for them, or that our New Year will be more cheery? Buy a
:16:16. > :16:20.paper ticket, that is what I say. I do notice... We do not have the
:16:21. > :16:25.whole story yet, and I might be unfair to the couple, but they say
:16:26. > :16:32.the ?2 online ticket purchase failed because they only had 60p in their
:16:33. > :16:41.recount. That might not be the fault of the app! It could happen to any
:16:42. > :16:43.of us. We have all thing when we thought we had sorted something.
:16:44. > :16:53.Misreading the numbers and thinking you have one! It cannot be all of 35
:16:54. > :16:57.million. It must be a share of that. That is something I cannot answer.
:16:58. > :17:03.Perhaps we will have more when we come back in an hour. Thank you for
:17:04. > :17:06.racing through a busy run of stories in the first paper review of 2016.
:17:07. > :17:08.Now, the sport.
