:00:00. > :00:17.Hello, and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers

:00:18. > :00:20.With me are Daily Mirror columnist Susie Boniface,

:00:21. > :00:23.otherwise known as "Fleet Street Fox", and the Financial Times'

:00:24. > :00:31.Many of the front pages are already in.

:00:32. > :00:33.The Metro leads with claims that the masked jihadi

:00:34. > :00:38.in the latest Islamic State video is a former bouncy castle salesman.

:00:39. > :00:41.The Telegraph also has details of the man suspected of being

:00:42. > :00:46.It says he fled to Syria while he was on bail.

:00:47. > :00:49.The i devotes its front page to Jeremy Corbyn's potentially

:00:50. > :00:51.controversial Shadow Cabinet reshuffle, which will, according to

:00:52. > :00:57.And the Guardian also leads with this story,

:00:58. > :01:00.saying Shadow Foreign Secretary Hilary Benn and shadow defence

:01:01. > :01:05.secretary Maria Eagle are likely to be removed from their jobs.

:01:06. > :01:08.The Financial Times carries stories about the share price falls on world

:01:09. > :01:13.stock markets, and the US lawsuit facing carmakers Volkswagen.

:01:14. > :01:15.The Express says anti-immigration campaigners are furious

:01:16. > :01:19.after a Sudanese man who tried to enter the UK via the Channel Tunnel

:01:20. > :01:26.That story's on the front page of the Mail too, which says MPs

:01:27. > :01:41.We will start with the latest propaganda video from Islamic state.

:01:42. > :01:46.Suspect escaped to stereo while on UK bail. He was a British

:01:47. > :01:51.businessman. He was a bouncy castle salesman, which does not sound very

:01:52. > :01:54.sinister. I do not know if he was involved in the higher of bouncy

:01:55. > :02:01.castles, which might be more common rather than buying them. But this

:02:02. > :02:05.format bouncy castle salesman from his London from a Hindu family seems

:02:06. > :02:12.to have converted after marrying a Muslim wife, or at the same time,

:02:13. > :02:18.and was arrested on terror charges. He was involved in a group Remy

:02:19. > :02:25.involving students involved in fundamentalist Islam -- mainly

:02:26. > :02:30.involving. We don't know if there was a mistake allowing him to get

:02:31. > :02:35.across the border. He has now been identified not by the security

:02:36. > :02:42.services, I think, but people who have perhaps done their own research

:02:43. > :02:47.and his own family. He is in that video shooting five men, which is

:02:48. > :02:50.not amusing and very serious, but if you watch the video, as David

:02:51. > :02:56.Cameron has asked people to do today, it has a ring of the Monty

:02:57. > :03:01.Python about it. He is insisting we will defeat -- they will defeat us

:03:02. > :03:09.in the war and David Cameron will lose. But Islamic State to have

:03:10. > :03:15.their strengths and things we can do that we -- they can do that we

:03:16. > :03:21.can't. But there is a world coalition forming against Islamic

:03:22. > :03:30.state. But the British security service say they have foiled about

:03:31. > :03:34.seven plots. And they do seem capable of at least inspiring people

:03:35. > :03:41.to commit atrocities, certainly in France and Belgium, Tunisia as well.

:03:42. > :03:50.There are questions about what is organised or inspired by some

:03:51. > :03:56.extent. Sometimes people claim Isis is an inspiration, but these ports

:03:57. > :04:03.are easy to follow. -- inspired by Islamic State. But the more

:04:04. > :04:09.troubling things are what happened in Paris. Also people who have been

:04:10. > :04:15.trained and come back and carry out sophisticated attacks. That is what

:04:16. > :04:18.is worrying about British fighters, that they will come back from Syria

:04:19. > :04:23.and have been trained. These will not just be people blundering around

:04:24. > :04:30.that I easy for security services to pick up and stop there might be

:04:31. > :04:34.trained in evading detection, which may have been the case in Paris.

:04:35. > :04:40.There are a few 100 Britons over there. It has been relatively easy

:04:41. > :04:46.to identify business, if he is that men. We have to hope we know who

:04:47. > :04:50.these people are and can stop them coming back in. The suggestion is

:04:51. > :05:03.that he escaped bail. He was arrested and fled the country. There

:05:04. > :05:08.was a child in this video, which a lot of people find repugnant. He

:05:09. > :05:16.spoke with a rigid accent as well. -- British. He has been identified

:05:17. > :05:20.as well, and a leading men things it is his grandson. He is disgusted his

:05:21. > :05:24.grandson is being used in propaganda. The whole thing is

:05:25. > :05:35.gruesome and the Sun and unpleasant, but most of that video was in

:05:36. > :05:40.Arabic. It was very much aimed at British as a nation because of the

:05:41. > :05:44.hostages he was killing, any people he was addressing in these videos.

:05:45. > :05:55.This seems to be addressed to some of the Islamic State's own followers

:05:56. > :06:02.to remind them they can there is punishment if you don't toe the line

:06:03. > :06:10.and do not have loyalty. The five people they shot in this video, it

:06:11. > :06:14.is a callous point but we do not know who they were. They appear to

:06:15. > :06:19.be people picked up in Raqqa whom it is like state may have had a dispute

:06:20. > :06:26.with about any number of things, perhaps collection of taxes. --

:06:27. > :06:32.Islamic State. But there are also operatives in Raqqa, activists and

:06:33. > :06:36.people trying to send footage of what life is like that. Some of

:06:37. > :06:42.these guys killed were running Internet cafes trying to give access

:06:43. > :06:44.to the outside world. They could be providing information to the British

:06:45. > :06:50.security services. They would be intimidated and now worried. That is

:06:51. > :06:56.perhaps the point of the video. Hilary Benn may be safe. If you are

:06:57. > :07:03.going to have a reshuffle, you want to get rid of a problem. You want to

:07:04. > :07:08.do it quickly as well. Quickly, efficiently and ruthlessly. Many

:07:09. > :07:14.people would point to Hilary Benn being the biggest problem Jeremy

:07:15. > :07:18.Corbyn has as far as his shadow, is concerned, but it seems he is

:07:19. > :07:22.staying. The biggest problem Jeremy Corbyn has his Jeremy Corbyn,

:07:23. > :07:27.because it does not really matter if you agree with him not. Whether you

:07:28. > :07:31.like him think is good his job or or not, but he does not have much

:07:32. > :07:36.experience managing a big team, and if you are going to run a shadow

:07:37. > :07:41.cabinet which is the executive officers who sometimes have to have

:07:42. > :07:44.some disagreement but generally carry the line and run your policies

:07:45. > :07:50.and present them to the public for you, they have to be on-site. He has

:07:51. > :07:57.had a big bump in that they have not been part of his team. -- problem.

:07:58. > :08:02.Hilary Benn has said he is not part of this, especially where the Syria

:08:03. > :08:07.vote was concerned, Jeremy Corbyn's people have been saying they would

:08:08. > :08:13.be a revenge shuffle. They said it would be today. They have had

:08:14. > :08:16.journalists outside the offices in Parliament all day waiting for a

:08:17. > :08:20.decision. We're now told it will be tomorrow afternoon. Jeremy Corbyn

:08:21. > :08:25.has gone home to rearrange his bathroom cabinet tonight instead. We

:08:26. > :08:30.get the point. There is no ruthless efficiency. Nobody expects the

:08:31. > :08:39.Jeremy Corbyn inquisition because it is so bad. Putting your old

:08:40. > :08:42.political hat on, there are suggestions there were things he

:08:43. > :08:46.wanted to do, but he could not do them or if he did to them it would

:08:47. > :08:51.cause friction, and therefore he has pulled back? That seems to be the

:08:52. > :08:57.suggestion. In the Guardian, it says Jeremy Corbyn's ideals solution

:08:58. > :09:01.involved moving Hilary Benn and Maria Eagle two other senior posts,

:09:02. > :09:07.but it may risk of damaging split. The problem is not carrying out a

:09:08. > :09:14.reshuffle. It is not even taking revenge. The point is that leaders

:09:15. > :09:19.should love during a reshuffle. It is where they get the media

:09:20. > :09:23.headlines want. They get to work ruthless and in charge. They get to

:09:24. > :09:27.do it in their own time and can manage the whole of this story, and

:09:28. > :09:35.it makes them look like a metre. For Jeremy Corbyn to botch not one but

:09:36. > :09:41.two reshuffles, which happened because people were overheard

:09:42. > :09:47.talking about it, which does go on, but to botch two, the problem is I

:09:48. > :09:51.don't think necessarily the idea of doing a reshuffle or saying that

:09:52. > :09:57.some people don't act me so I can't have them in top jobs, fair enough.

:09:58. > :10:05.-- back of me. But she has handled it badly and now books week. He

:10:06. > :10:09.books incompetent -- looks, and he now needs to look decisive. This

:10:10. > :10:17.should be a time when he gets to do that. Can you imagine a time when a

:10:18. > :10:23.reader decides to have a reshuffle and then revealing in advance via

:10:24. > :10:29.your press adviser that you probably can't do it anyway? -- leader. David

:10:30. > :10:34.Cameron, even Tim Farron would not do that. This did happen to David

:10:35. > :10:41.Cameron once. He tried to remove Iain Duncan Smith, and he was told

:10:42. > :10:47.in no uncertain terms, I am not moving. That was a real moment of

:10:48. > :10:52.weakness from the Prime Minister. He realised it could create some

:10:53. > :10:57.damage. But he did not tell everyone to days in advance, I will move in

:10:58. > :11:03.Duncan Smith if I can, but if I can't, I might have to back down.

:11:04. > :11:10.Sorry, guys. Let's move on to the Independent. Britain conspired to

:11:11. > :11:14.ignore Saudi executions. A lot of analysis in the last few weeks and

:11:15. > :11:20.months about written's relationship with Saudi Arabia, especially on

:11:21. > :11:28.contracts and judicial tie-ins that they have -- Britain's. And

:11:29. > :11:33.apparently written ignorant these executions even though they knew

:11:34. > :11:38.about them. This is based on a paper from 2011 saying we would like to

:11:39. > :11:43.stop or death penalties, and listed a number of nations involved such as

:11:44. > :11:47.China, Iran and USA. We would like to start them having the death

:11:48. > :11:53.penalty, which is fair enough. Best of luck, but it is only a piece of

:11:54. > :11:58.paper where it is written down. There is no reason not to include

:11:59. > :12:03.Saudi Arabia on that list. All of the others will tell you to get lost

:12:04. > :12:12.anyway. So Saudi Arabia was not on the list? Correct. But the fact they

:12:13. > :12:16.were left off, it was so unimportant, why bother ripping them

:12:17. > :12:25.off? You may as well include them. -- leaving them off? But it is

:12:26. > :12:30.because of those contracts we have but they were left off? The Foreign

:12:31. > :12:35.Office are saying we have to make nice with Saudi Arabia. We don't

:12:36. > :12:38.like them, they are not great, but if we don't have them in charge of

:12:39. > :12:44.Saudi Arabia, there will be someone worse. We may as well be nice to

:12:45. > :12:48.them. They can say, we should perhaps try to push on some rights,

:12:49. > :12:54.we would like them to do them differently, but we have decided

:12:55. > :12:57.that we don't want to push too hard. The Saudi Arabians know very well

:12:58. > :13:03.how strong their position is. They are an important ally for us and the

:13:04. > :13:08.US in the Middle East up against Iran. If we were not making friends

:13:09. > :13:12.with them and they are not making friends with us, they know how

:13:13. > :13:17.strong they are. To be fair to Jeremy Corbyn, his opening speech

:13:18. > :13:22.referred specifically to Saudi Arabia. It is one point on which he

:13:23. > :13:28.has been determined and successful. If you remember the story about the

:13:29. > :13:34.Saudi Arabia was on Jerry Jeremy Corbyn highlighted that as an

:13:35. > :13:43.issue. That tells us one thing. Jeremy Corbyn's home territory is

:13:44. > :13:47.foreign affairs, and he is often on safer ground talking about foreign

:13:48. > :13:55.affairs. Sometimes dodgy ground, but he feels on safer ground equals he

:13:56. > :14:01.has got a lot about that. Maybe less so on domestic issues. But what he

:14:02. > :14:03.was pointing out is that Britain has always had a difficult relationship

:14:04. > :14:53.with Saudi Arabia. Also regarding what we have seen in

:14:54. > :15:05.Saudi Arabia, ministers are agreeing. The commission is from

:15:06. > :15:11.Volkswagon? I am very interested in this because I own a Volkswagon. In

:15:12. > :15:17.America, they are receiving compensation. This is a story about

:15:18. > :15:23.the US government suing Volkswagon for the fact that, because the

:15:24. > :15:27.emissions were higher than expected, they have polluted the air. The

:15:28. > :15:46.pollution authorities have said there will find them for each

:15:47. > :15:53.vehicle affected -- they -- fine. This is not the car owners suing, it

:15:54. > :15:59.is repercussions for the emissions. It is not for people like me who

:16:00. > :16:03.would perhaps like some compensation for owning a Volkswagon. It will be

:16:04. > :16:06.interesting to know whether the US government will pass the money on to

:16:07. > :16:13.the drivers, or whether they will use the money for something that

:16:14. > :16:16.will benefit everybody. I think it has been announced, or not announced

:16:17. > :16:21.but it is out there, that British Volkswagon owners like yourself will

:16:22. > :16:27.not get a penny. American Volkswagon owners will. They are willing to pay

:16:28. > :16:32.compensation to American drivers, not to British drivers. Separate to

:16:33. > :16:38.this lawsuit. That is apparently because there is a potential market

:16:39. > :16:44.of many millions, and they want to keep up with that. They also want to

:16:45. > :16:49.keep in with the US authorities. You don't want to get on the wrong side

:16:50. > :16:54.of some of the US legal authorities. Exactly. Is that underpinning part

:16:55. > :17:01.of this? You don't mess with the Americans. They have the

:17:02. > :17:04.resources... The class action suits in America are very expensive

:17:05. > :17:10.compared to a. Particularly on the government's side. They won't back

:17:11. > :17:14.down. It is interesting that Volkswagon is currently in dispute

:17:15. > :17:24.with the Americans over various things, including devices in SUV

:17:25. > :17:27.'s. This is possibly trying to get some more compensation out of them

:17:28. > :17:32.for those things. Volkswagon has that aside I think 6.7 billion

:17:33. > :17:44.euros. This could be tens of billions. Thank you for looking at

:17:45. > :17:48.some of the stories with us. Stay with us, it's time for Sportsday.
