:00:00. > :00:00.the latest from the lakeside and the BDO darts. That is coming up in

:00:00. > :00:18.Sportsday, in 15 minutes, straight after the papers.

:00:19. > :00:26.Welcome to the papers. With us we have Susie Boniface, otherwise known

:00:27. > :00:34.as the Fleet Street Fox. And the energy times correspondent, Kiran

:00:35. > :00:39.Stacey. The FT carries a story on the share price fall on the US stock

:00:40. > :00:44.market and the problems facing Volkswagen. The Daily Express has a

:00:45. > :00:47.Sudanese man who tried to enter the UK via the Channel Tunnel has been

:00:48. > :00:53.granted asylum. The metro leads with claims the masked jihadi in the

:00:54. > :00:56.latest Islamic State video was a former bouncy castle salesman. The

:00:57. > :01:01.Daily Telegraph has details of the same man and says he fled to Syria

:01:02. > :01:07.whilst he was on bail. The iMac devotes its front page to Jeremy

:01:08. > :01:11.Corbyn's potentially controversial Cabinet reshuffle. The Guardian also

:01:12. > :01:15.leads with that story saying Hilary Benn and Maria Eagle are likely to

:01:16. > :01:22.be removed from their jobs. We will start with the daily to

:01:23. > :01:29.grow. I have heard a number of suspects who are over there have

:01:30. > :01:36.been fugitives from the law, effectively, from the UK. It seems

:01:37. > :01:41.like it. We heard of jihadi John and Mohammed Emwazi. Now this man,

:01:42. > :01:48.arrested in September 2014 alongside another man, who viewers may

:01:49. > :01:54.remember used towards TV studios pretending to be a respected face of

:01:55. > :02:01.mainstream Islamic thought. He was suspected of belonging to this band

:02:02. > :02:05.and then escaped bail. We do not know how. We do not know if he had a

:02:06. > :02:09.fake passport but he managed to leave the country, which as you say,

:02:10. > :02:14.quite a few other magician nationals have managed to do and get out there

:02:15. > :02:19.to fight for Syria. But this is all taking place against a background of

:02:20. > :02:25.British inaction in Syria. There has not been a military strike against

:02:26. > :02:30.Isis militants since Christmas Day. There is a lot of talk at the

:02:31. > :02:34.moment, ministers saying this is coming out because Isis is on the

:02:35. > :02:38.retreat. Well perhaps, but at least in Syria that is not necessarily

:02:39. > :02:45.because of British action, there is not a lot of bombing going on. Part

:02:46. > :02:48.of the reason, Susie, that they are suggested, not necessarily on the

:02:49. > :02:52.back foot is because the Russians are bombing some of the more

:02:53. > :02:57.moderate rebel groups who would be attacking them in the first place.

:02:58. > :03:01.Yes and it goes to show how much of a complete mess the Syrian Civil War

:03:02. > :03:05.and the middle east is at the moment. No matter who you bomb you

:03:06. > :03:08.are helping someone you do not want to be helping. There is an

:03:09. > :03:13.interesting stuff about this come at the bouncy castle jihadi. David

:03:14. > :03:18.Cameron said today that although the video that has been released.

:03:19. > :03:22.Despicable and shows the murder of five people, people should watch it.

:03:23. > :03:27.He urged people to watch for the gander from Islamic State, which

:03:28. > :03:33.seems quite bonkers. If you do watch it, Siddhartha Dhar, this man in the

:03:34. > :03:41.video is saying David Cameron, you will lose this war, we will bring

:03:42. > :03:49.sharia law to Britain. It has rings of Monty Python and the Black night.

:03:50. > :03:54.Comical Ali in the fall of Baghdad saying we have beaten the infidels.

:03:55. > :03:58.We have the SAS and RAF and air cover and Isis don't have any of

:03:59. > :04:04.that stuff. But most people know all of this. They know they are

:04:05. > :04:11.bloodthirsty, they are completely crazy and a threat on a number of

:04:12. > :04:14.levels. It's as if they don't need convincing that these guys are

:04:15. > :04:22.nutters. First of all this isn't really aimed at mainstream British

:04:23. > :04:26.audience. They are in Arabic so aimed at a different audience. One

:04:27. > :04:29.of the reasons ministers and security officials are saying this

:04:30. > :04:33.is desperate propaganda is because it looks like it might be aimed at

:04:34. > :04:36.people who could be splitting, people who are thinking is a bit

:04:37. > :04:41.tough and maybe they should go home or defect to another group. That is

:04:42. > :04:44.when these videos tend to be released, to restore morale within

:04:45. > :04:49.the group, rather than trying to convince the likes of us, the

:04:50. > :04:55.Western powers are failing. Staying with the Daily Telegraph. Hilary

:04:56. > :05:00.Benn may be safer as reshuffle turns to farce, what is going on? It has

:05:01. > :05:03.been a farce since the beginning. When Jeremy Corbyn appointed his

:05:04. > :05:07.first cabinet it was a bit of a shambles. They had to put in Maria

:05:08. > :05:12.Eagle because they did not have enough women. They said they had the

:05:13. > :05:17.majority of women in the Cabinet for the first time, but many women could

:05:18. > :05:20.not take part in it. That can be forgiven because he did not have a

:05:21. > :05:25.lot of time. He was just made leader and was expecting it, perhaps. This

:05:26. > :05:29.time we've had briefings with before Christmas there was going to be a

:05:30. > :05:33.revenge reshuffle. We have been briefing all weekend that there

:05:34. > :05:40.would be a reshuffle. The lobby journalists, who have access to all

:05:41. > :05:46.parties, were sitting there outside Jeremy Corbyn's office today, Wei --

:05:47. > :05:49.waiting patiently. Jeremy Corbyn said, I would like you not to be

:05:50. > :05:54.outside my office. Move along, nothing to senior. Later on someone

:05:55. > :06:02.came out with a cup of tea, so that was nice. And chocolate. Someone

:06:03. > :06:08.brought in chocolate. There is some happy feeling after all. We had a

:06:09. > :06:15.briefing saying Jeremy Corbyn's... People who do not agree with him or

:06:16. > :06:21.have to go. Maria Eagle, pro Trident and Hilary Benn, who humiliated him

:06:22. > :06:24.in the Syria debate. But it looks like it is not going according to

:06:25. > :06:29.plan. We were told it would be first thing this morning and then seven

:06:30. > :06:33.o'clock this evening. Now they say some announcement tomorrow. Hilary

:06:34. > :06:36.Benn was in their first for an hour. It implies it is not going according

:06:37. > :06:41.to plan. And some people are digging their heels in. And also a lot of

:06:42. > :06:45.people are not around. This is the thing about doing a reshuffle before

:06:46. > :06:51.the MPs have got back. He has not got hold of some of the people he

:06:52. > :07:00.needs to get hold of. The front page of the i. It could be that maybe he

:07:01. > :07:04.decided he is going to get rid of certain people, but others are

:07:05. > :07:08.suggesting hang on a second, if you to that there will be split and I

:07:09. > :07:16.will as well. The Guardian has an interesting take here. It says

:07:17. > :07:22.Jeremy Corbyn's ideal solution involves moving Hilary Benn and

:07:23. > :07:26.Maria Eagle to other senior posts but acknowledges this might not be

:07:27. > :07:29.possible if it would risk a damaging split. Well, that is just an

:07:30. > :07:33.astonishing thing to tell a journalist. I would like to do this,

:07:34. > :07:37.but I might not be powerful enough to do it. It is one of the reasons

:07:38. > :07:41.Labour MPs are tearing their hair out. It is not in doing this

:07:42. > :07:44.reshuffle, they haven't got the competence in the senior leadership

:07:45. > :07:49.to be able to carry it out with the gravitas he needs. We will have to

:07:50. > :07:57.move on. Is he telling journalists or telling those people who paid ?3

:07:58. > :08:02.to join the party? Never say you are powerless as leader, it is not a

:08:03. > :08:09.good idea. The Guardian, tension grows as Saudi allies cut ties.

:08:10. > :08:15.Serious impact for the wider world, if you think about it. Saudi Arabia

:08:16. > :08:18.and Iran having an argument long way away, it doesn't matter... But these

:08:19. > :08:27.are two opposing nations who would be having talks on the Syrian war,

:08:28. > :08:32.which does affect us, as well as the Yemeni war. If they are now not able

:08:33. > :08:35.to get round the table you are talking about more proxy wars in the

:08:36. > :08:41.Middle East, more refugees you're talking about more crises for us to

:08:42. > :08:45.deal with. We live in a global world and it will affect us. This boils

:08:46. > :08:51.down to a 1300 year old argument about which male relatives of the

:08:52. > :08:58.Prophet Muhammad gets to inherit the Crown. Some suggesting, Kiran, that

:08:59. > :09:03.that is part of the issue here, but it is political as well. It is about

:09:04. > :09:08.political influence in a region where they are both trying to get

:09:09. > :09:17.one up on the other. The surprising thing here is this execution of a

:09:18. > :09:22.Shia cleric, alongside 43 others. A very aggressive thing to do. People

:09:23. > :09:28.are still tried to work out what this guy did. He was certainly a

:09:29. > :09:33.radical cleric, someone who spoke up in favour of Saudi's Shia

:09:34. > :09:39.minorities. They accused him of trying to undermine the state and of

:09:40. > :09:44.terrorist offences. It is a way for Saudis to look repressed the sheer

:09:45. > :09:49.minority and is awaiting to the West, you might be doing a nuclear

:09:50. > :09:56.deal with Iran, but remember who the big fish are. A good way of

:09:57. > :10:02.splitting the West and Iran as well. The Daily Express. Channel runner

:10:03. > :10:05.given asylum. New migrant scandal. New migrant scandal, dreadful,

:10:06. > :10:15.dreadful, dreadful. The fact that someone who has run here from Darfur

:10:16. > :10:18.has been given asylum because we live in borderless Britain. If

:10:19. > :10:22.someone has been running through the Channel Tunnel at the age of 40, I

:10:23. > :10:27.might add, I think we should be signing him up for the Olympic team

:10:28. > :10:30.as soon as we can. Never mind deporting him. What is interesting

:10:31. > :10:35.is it doesn't mention why he has been given asylum, no mention of

:10:36. > :10:41.Darfur or the possibility this guy might be trying to stay alive. It

:10:42. > :10:45.turns out that people seeking asylum will take desperate measures to try

:10:46. > :10:50.and arrive in place. It is not a massive shock. People hide under the

:10:51. > :10:54.undercarriages of planes and on the job of trains. And a lot of them die

:10:55. > :10:57.in the process. You will be back in one hour and we will look at some

:10:58. > :11:01.more stories in the papers. Stay with us on BBC News, much more

:11:02. > :11:06.coming up. Now it is time for Sportsday.
