Town where England are expected to bring James Anderson into the side.

:00:00.:00:00.

That is coming up with me, Ali Foster, in the next 15 minutes. --

:00:00.:00:19.

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.
