:04:21. > :04:28.deal with those who buy guns. That is a stalemate. Although he wants to

:06:28. > :06:33.marking the new year with this kind of headline. But it is true. Also,
:06:34. > :06:36.this story is interesting because the terrorism experts they have
:06:37. > :06:45.interviewed in The Guardian to layout is very, this is the
:06:46. > :06:49.background we will experience all the time. -- lay out this theory.
:06:50. > :06:53.They said this will happen all the time. The fireworks in Paris did not
:06:54. > :07:00.happen. We were watching it on the BBC News channel last night. The Arc
:07:01. > :07:03.de Triomphe lit up, mixed messages. Brussels has cancelled everything.
:07:04. > :07:06.Other places in London went ahead with everything as if nothing had
:07:07. > :07:13.happened. I suppose that is the interesting question. What is the
:07:14. > :07:17.right response? Absolutely. What these experts are saying is that the
:07:18. > :07:23.problem, post- Paris, is that Isis have proved they can do it. Whereas
:07:24. > :07:26.in the past, in fact, they are saying, since the Mumbai attacks in
:07:27. > :07:33.2008, they knew there was potential for these awful, kind of hybrid
:07:34. > :07:39.attempts, suicide bombing, also, people going crazy with... Doing a
:07:40. > :07:46.simultaneous attack in different locations. They knew it was a
:07:47. > :07:50.possibility. But after Paris, we are now seeing the reality, 130 people
:07:51. > :07:53.slaughtered. It makes it much more difficult for the authorities,
:07:54. > :08:00.weighing up the balance of risks to say, let's carry on, let's check it
:08:01. > :08:04.out... As it becomes more normal they will take a weathered review on
:08:05. > :08:13.them and those warnings. Perhaps they will not be so trigger-happy.
:08:14. > :08:19.You have, do the terrorists win, that argument. Like the San
:08:20. > :08:25.Bernardino attack if you get these crazy freelancers who are joining in
:08:26. > :08:29.jihad but not as a part of any structural network and you do get
:08:30. > :08:35.warnings about named individuals, as has happened today, what length do
:08:36. > :08:41.you go to shut down... The authorities in Munich, last night,
:08:42. > :08:44.New Year's Eve, having had these early, general, vague warnings
:08:45. > :08:52.across Europe about somebody doing something somewhere that the if you
:08:53. > :08:56.do not act, it is even worse. Rather than it being mildly annoying for
:08:57. > :09:01.people trying to get to a party. -- somewhere. The point is, people
:09:02. > :09:12.might be frustrated with authorities, but it is difficult.
:09:13. > :09:23.Let's look at the telegraph smack. -- Telegraph. A health story. Salary

:09:40. > :09:45.lot of talk about this ratio with the top people, wherever that is,
:09:46. > :09:50.public or private sector, and the average pay of the workforce. And,
:09:51. > :09:57.you No, in the public sector, where it is essentially taxpayer's money,
:09:58. > :10:00.people get angry at this idea that it is excessive. -- you know. In the
:10:01. > :10:15.NHS where we know there is a kind of a relic -- a heroic feeling with
:10:16. > :10:19.nurses and doctors, the idea that there is a layer of people earning
:10:20. > :10:27.more than the Prime Minister, it sticks in the throat. This latest
:10:28. > :10:31.story is about hospital chief executives, there are record
:10:32. > :10:38.salaries here of ?140,000 a year. It is a lot of money. -- ?340,000.

:11:53. > :11:57.services available. People find that difficult to stomach. It is not what
:11:58. > :12:04.it was before Christmas. That is what people will think this morning.

:14:24. > :14:31.Times. These are very interesting figures they have got here. They
:14:32. > :14:35.have got the story and they have got figures from 70 universities in the
:14:36. > :14:41.United Kingdom. It is about the scale of fraud in higher education,
:14:42. > :14:54.and it is pretty bad. It really is revealing a troubled. They call it

:15:06. > :15:10.absolute moneyspinner fur United Kingdom university. It is why it is
:15:11. > :15:27.quite interesting. Are the rules being in forced properly. -- in that
:15:28. > :15:38.the enforced. Why would that be? If you did kick them out you would lose
:15:39. > :15:49.money. What a great story. It is so important that it is preserved. They
:15:50. > :15:55.must be defended. One of the things I am struck with here is that the
:15:56. > :16:01.university has got over 1000 students and in three years, they
:16:02. > :16:09.had 1900 students accused of cheating. You sense that the scale
:16:10. > :16:16.of the problem is this big, then what is university doing? If this is
:16:17. > :16:20.the scale of it and they are not tackling it even with the cases we
:16:21. > :16:36.know about. Of course copying and the Internet... Fortunately it did
