Olly Foster. An interesting subject... | :00:20. | :00:20. | |
Hello, and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers | :00:21. | :00:23. | |
With me are the political commentator, Miranda Green, and the | :00:24. | :00:27. | |
Daily Telegraph's chief political correspondent, Christopher Hope. | :00:28. | :00:29. | |
Tomorrow's front pages, starting with the FT. | :00:30. | :00:31. | |
The FT's picture is of the shooting in Tel Aviv. | :00:32. | :00:40. | |
They also feature President Obama's New Year's message | :00:41. | :00:43. | |
and claim he is planning to bypass Congress to impose new controls | :00:44. | :00:49. | |
We will talk about that in a moment. | :00:50. | :00:56. | |
Pope Francis at his New Year's Day mass dominates | :00:57. | :00:58. | |
Kissing the leg of a statue of Jesus. | :00:59. | :01:04. | |
It also reports on the potential for British troops to face criminal | :01:05. | :01:07. | |
charges over abuse and unlawful killings during the Iraq War. | :01:08. | :01:09. | |
The Daily Mail has comments from the first wife of suspended Labour | :01:10. | :01:12. | |
MP Simon Danczuk about the impact which the allegation that he sent | :01:13. | :01:15. | |
explicit messages to a 17-year-old is having on their family. | :01:16. | :01:18. | |
"A student-cheating crisis" is the headline on the Times. | :01:19. | :01:20. | |
It says almost 50,000 students have been caught cheating | :01:21. | :01:22. | |
The i says Jeremy Corbyn must get 35% of the vote in next year's | :01:23. | :01:29. | |
elections if he's to avoid a coup from fellow party members. | :01:30. | :01:32. | |
The Sun reports on a former Eastenders actress, Sian Blake, who | :01:33. | :01:35. | |
has been missing with her two young children for almost three weeks. | :01:36. | :01:42. | |
Government plans to double the fine for littering to ?150 leads | :01:43. | :01:45. | |
Our guests, Christopher Hope, is the author of that story. | :01:46. | :01:55. | |
And, the Mirror has claims from a couple | :01:56. | :01:57. | |
who say they missed out on a ?35 million lottery jackpot, because of | :01:58. | :02:01. | |
Right... Veranda, the Financial Times and President Obama. -- | :02:02. | :02:12. | |
Miranda. The last 12 he has an office. Determined to leave his mark | :02:13. | :02:23. | |
-- in. 2015 had so many shootings. The last of those was the San | :02:24. | :02:27. | |
Bernardino shooting, which turned out to be a terrorist attack. The | :02:28. | :02:33. | |
problem President Obama had was being vocal about wanting to tackle | :02:34. | :02:37. | |
gun control. After that shooting he pulled back during December because | :02:38. | :02:43. | |
his remark were going badly when it turned out to be a freelance | :02:44. | :02:48. | |
jihadist attack. -- remarks. But he has now returned to the fight and | :02:49. | :02:51. | |
has used his first message of the new year to say he wants to bypass | :02:52. | :02:56. | |
Congress and start to impose fairly limited restrictions on who is able | :02:57. | :03:05. | |
to own a gun, buying a gun, carry a gun, keep guns at home... This is | :03:06. | :03:09. | |
something to do with American culture which is so deep that even | :03:10. | :03:14. | |
trying to do the smallest bit of good reform is controversial. It | :03:15. | :03:19. | |
would be an absolute gift to Donald Trump in his fight to be the | :03:20. | :03:24. | |
Republican candidate for the president debates. I wonder how you | :03:25. | :03:31. | |
think Democrats will respond. They feel strong about gun control, but | :03:32. | :03:34. | |
they must be worried that Obama is giving such a controversial subject | :03:35. | :03:40. | |
to the start of the election year. It could hamper their prospects. It | :03:41. | :03:45. | |
does work with the frontrunner, one of the two front-runners, it is all | :03:46. | :03:50. | |
about legacy for Barack Obama. We saw at the end of Tony Blair's | :03:51. | :03:55. | |
time, the state of the union, January the 12th, and then the | :03:56. | :04:01. | |
elections in November. He has almost woken up from his Christmas lunch | :04:02. | :04:06. | |
and thought, let's get on with getting a proper deal on this. He is | :04:07. | :04:10. | |
so frustrated with the lack of any movement on gun control. The Federal | :04:11. | :04:15. | |
government can only control shops selling guns, they cannot go and | :04:16. | :04:20. | |
deal with those who buy guns. That is a stalemate. Although he wants to | :04:21. | :04:28. | |
get the buyers to have back on cheques, it is a reminder of the | :04:29. | :04:34. | |
checks and balances can also prevent things being done. -- checks. It | :04:35. | :04:40. | |
will slow down a president who wants to take radical action. In this | :04:41. | :04:47. | |
story, it is the move will be criticised as being his imperial | :04:48. | :04:50. | |
presidency. And excessive attempt by the sitting president to impose his | :04:51. | :04:54. | |
will. -- an. In 2013, Congress actually tried to put together a | :04:55. | :05:01. | |
bipartisan bill, both parties trying to introduce quite limited | :05:02. | :05:03. | |
background checks on who was supplying to buy a gun, that got | :05:04. | :05:09. | |
nowhere, because the Senate blocked and. There are efforts from time to | :05:10. | :05:13. | |
time to try to move the culture on this. -- it. This country is | :05:14. | :05:18. | |
mystifying. That they can have these guns and there is no... It's just | :05:19. | :05:26. | |
has not happened properly. -- it. You mentioned San Bernardino, that's | :05:27. | :05:35. | |
terrible incident at a work Christmas party where a guy started | :05:36. | :05:40. | |
shooting his colleagues. -- that. As he said, it turned out to be an | :05:41. | :05:43. | |
Islamic State sympathiser, along with his wife and we have this | :05:44. | :05:48. | |
interesting story, Christopher, on the front of the Guardian terror | :05:49. | :05:53. | |
alerts are the new normal. Guardian,. These words, in Germany, | :05:54. | :06:04. | |
a have been evacuating train stations. -- they. They hampered the | :06:05. | :06:11. | |
new year is celebration. -- New Year's. We have faced a lot with the | :06:12. | :06:17. | |
IRA issues in mainland Britain in the 80s and 90s. They could face | :06:18. | :06:23. | |
that. It is really... It is the new normal. How sad, that we should be | :06:24. | :06:27. | |
marking the new year with this kind of headline. But it is true. Also, | :06:28. | :06:33. | |
this story is interesting because the terrorism experts they have | :06:34. | :06:36. | |
interviewed in The Guardian to layout is very, this is the | :06:37. | :06:45. | |
background we will experience all the time. -- lay out this theory. | :06:46. | :06:49. | |
They said this will happen all the time. The fireworks in Paris did not | :06:50. | :06:53. | |
happen. We were watching it on the BBC News channel last night. The Arc | :06:54. | :07:00. | |
de Triomphe lit up, mixed messages. Brussels has cancelled everything. | :07:01. | :07:03. | |
Other places in London went ahead with everything as if nothing had | :07:04. | :07:06. | |
happened. I suppose that is the interesting question. What is the | :07:07. | :07:13. | |
right response? Absolutely. What these experts are saying is that the | :07:14. | :07:17. | |
problem, post- Paris, is that Isis have proved they can do it. Whereas | :07:18. | :07:23. | |
in the past, in fact, they are saying, since the Mumbai attacks in | :07:24. | :07:26. | |
2008, they knew there was potential for these awful, kind of hybrid | :07:27. | :07:33. | |
attempts, suicide bombing, also, people going crazy with... Doing a | :07:34. | :07:39. | |
simultaneous attack in different locations. They knew it was a | :07:40. | :07:46. | |
possibility. But after Paris, we are now seeing the reality, 130 people | :07:47. | :07:50. | |
slaughtered. It makes it much more difficult for the authorities, | :07:51. | :07:53. | |
weighing up the balance of risks to say, let's carry on, let's check it | :07:54. | :08:00. | |
out... As it becomes more normal they will take a weathered review on | :08:01. | :08:04. | |
them and those warnings. Perhaps they will not be so trigger-happy. | :08:05. | :08:13. | |
You have, do the terrorists win, that argument. Like the San | :08:14. | :08:19. | |
Bernardino attack if you get these crazy freelancers who are joining in | :08:20. | :08:25. | |
jihad but not as a part of any structural network and you do get | :08:26. | :08:29. | |
warnings about named individuals, as has happened today, what length do | :08:30. | :08:35. | |
you go to shut down... The authorities in Munich, last night, | :08:36. | :08:41. | |
New Year's Eve, having had these early, general, vague warnings | :08:42. | :08:44. | |
across Europe about somebody doing something somewhere that the if you | :08:45. | :08:52. | |
do not act, it is even worse. Rather than it being mildly annoying for | :08:53. | :08:56. | |
people trying to get to a party. -- somewhere. The point is, people | :08:57. | :09:01. | |
might be frustrated with authorities, but it is difficult. | :09:02. | :09:12. | |
Let's look at the telegraph smack. -- Telegraph. A health story. Salary | :09:13. | :09:23. | |
paid comparators. -- pay so be a list of people earning more than the | :09:24. | :09:26. | |
Prime Minister and whether that acceptable. -- A list of. It is | :09:27. | :09:32. | |
talking about Chief executives and nurses. -- Executives. There is a | :09:33. | :09:39. | |
lot of talk about this ratio with the top people, wherever that is, | :09:40. | :09:45. | |
public or private sector, and the average pay of the workforce. And, | :09:46. | :09:50. | |
you No, in the public sector, where it is essentially taxpayer's money, | :09:51. | :09:57. | |
people get angry at this idea that it is excessive. -- you know. In the | :09:58. | :10:00. | |
NHS where we know there is a kind of a relic -- a heroic feeling with | :10:01. | :10:15. | |
nurses and doctors, the idea that there is a layer of people earning | :10:16. | :10:19. | |
more than the Prime Minister, it sticks in the throat. This latest | :10:20. | :10:27. | |
story is about hospital chief executives, there are record | :10:28. | :10:31. | |
salaries here of ?140,000 a year. It is a lot of money. -- ?340,000. | :10:32. | :10:38. | |
People are also talking about the top layer of government. Council | :10:39. | :10:45. | |
chief executives. This is different, because, Christmas, more money, | :10:46. | :10:50. | |
Whitehall, the government has stepped in, gave him the money he | :10:51. | :11:02. | |
wanted... I was talking on Radio 4 with him to talk about the salaries, | :11:03. | :11:06. | |
he was reluctant to talk about... The Chief Executive, he was | :11:07. | :11:11. | |
reluctant to criticise, but he sets the tone. I wonder why that is. Is | :11:12. | :11:15. | |
it because we could not get people to do these jobs unless we pay them, | :11:16. | :11:22. | |
are they so difficult to run our... That is always the reason given in | :11:23. | :11:26. | |
public and private actor. -- now. They say that this is the market | :11:27. | :11:32. | |
rate. -- sector. Winnie the Pooh as people. That is why we have to pay | :11:33. | :11:38. | |
them so much. -- We need the best people. They have been asked to go | :11:39. | :11:44. | |
in to the head of trust and make cuts. Sack people. Bring down | :11:45. | :11:52. | |
services available. People find that difficult to stomach. It is not what | :11:53. | :11:57. | |
it was before Christmas. That is what people will think this morning. | :11:58. | :12:04. | |
The money for doctors and nurses... They have a poisonous issue at the | :12:05. | :12:06. | |
moment between the junior doctors, moment between the | :12:07. | :12:09. | |
government. It looks like we are adding to strike action in the NHS | :12:10. | :12:15. | |
by junior doctors. believing that. That is right. We | :12:16. | :12:29. | |
are hearing about 19% pay rises for chief | :12:30. | :12:37. | |
move on, Christopher, you have to say he was the man of 2015. | :12:38. | :12:38. | |
here on January the first a year ago with our predictions. We won't give | :12:39. | :12:47. | |
them tonight. We would not have predicted very cold and being the | :12:48. | :12:50. | |
leader of the Labour Party by the end of the year. -- Jeremy Corbyn. | :12:51. | :12:59. | |
Or would you? No, not at all. But he is in power. This is the story in | :13:00. | :13:08. | |
the Independent. He is setting a low level of what would be a win for | :13:09. | :13:13. | |
him, 35% could this be tossed in by Jeremy Corbyn supporters? -- | :13:14. | :13:22. | |
topspin. 5% more than were Ed Miliband got to in the General | :13:23. | :13:28. | |
Election. We, as journalists, pushed it on to him, though it is not a | :13:29. | :13:32. | |
fair number. They are getting their retaliation in months early. People | :13:33. | :13:36. | |
will extrapolate that they are setting the bar quite low, because | :13:37. | :13:47. | |
in a set of local elections, you No, they should be getting 35% at | :13:48. | :13:51. | |
least. That is the crux of the matter. -- know. Ed Miliband had a | :13:52. | :13:57. | |
35 cents strategy before the May 2015 General Election. --%. And they | :13:58. | :14:06. | |
did not make that quite David Cameron. -- that. David Cameron is | :14:07. | :14:14. | |
not even running the election. Into someone else. Let's move on to the | :14:15. | :14:23. | |
Times. These are very interesting figures they have got here. They | :14:24. | :14:31. | |
have got the story and they have got figures from 70 universities in the | :14:32. | :14:35. | |
United Kingdom. It is about the scale of fraud in higher education, | :14:36. | :14:41. | |
and it is pretty bad. It really is revealing a troubled. They call it | :14:42. | :14:54. | |
an academic of the later -- they call it an epidemic. It is students | :14:55. | :15:01. | |
coming in from other parts of the world and those students are an | :15:02. | :15:05. | |
absolute moneyspinner fur United Kingdom university. It is why it is | :15:06. | :15:10. | |
quite interesting. Are the rules being in forced properly. -- in that | :15:11. | :15:27. | |
the enforced. Why would that be? If you did kick them out you would lose | :15:28. | :15:38. | |
money. What a great story. It is so important that it is preserved. They | :15:39. | :15:49. | |
must be defended. One of the things I am struck with here is that the | :15:50. | :15:55. | |
university has got over 1000 students and in three years, they | :15:56. | :16:01. | |
had 1900 students accused of cheating. You sense that the scale | :16:02. | :16:09. | |
of the problem is this big, then what is university doing? If this is | :16:10. | :16:16. | |
the scale of it and they are not tackling it even with the cases we | :16:17. | :16:20. | |
know about. Of course copying and the Internet... Fortunately it did | :16:21. | :16:36. | |
not happen in our day. Thank you both very much. Now we have sports | :16:37. | :16:44. |
