body. We will also have the latest in the League Cup and the latest | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
from the BDO world darts Championship. That is after the | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
papers. -- The Papers. Hello and welcome to our look ahead | :00:00. | :00:13. | |
to what the the papers will be With me are the political | :00:14. | :00:17. | |
commentator Lance Price and Bronwyn Curtis, from the Society | :00:18. | :00:20. | |
of Business Economists. We will start with the Financial | :00:21. | :00:32. | |
Times which says the Chancellor George Osborne warns that unless | :00:33. | :00:36. | |
tough economic reforms are stuck to, it could mark the beginning of the | :00:37. | :00:40. | |
decline for the British economy. He cites the Chinese slowdown and | :00:41. | :00:46. | |
plummeting oil prices as two crucial factors. The I talks about five | :00:47. | :00:55. | |
extremists it says have slipped out of the country despite travel bans. | :00:56. | :01:02. | |
The Metro has a story that exams have been altered amid concerns that | :01:03. | :01:05. | |
Muslim children fasting during Ramadan will be unable to produce | :01:06. | :01:10. | |
their best work. That story is also on the front page of the Daily Mail | :01:11. | :01:13. | |
and there is a picture of Prince George of on his first day to | :01:14. | :01:17. | |
nursery. The Daily Express warns Britain will | :01:18. | :01:22. | |
freeze with snow and subzero temperatures heralding the start of | :01:23. | :01:25. | |
proper winter weather. The Guardian leads on North Korea's | :01:26. | :01:30. | |
claims it has tested a hydrogen bomb. | :01:31. | :01:35. | |
There are doubts about the type of device that was detonated. | :01:36. | :01:39. | |
The Telegraph says the Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump | :01:40. | :01:43. | |
has threatened to withdraw nilly 700 millions of pounds of investment in | :01:44. | :01:47. | |
Scotland as he hits back at attempts to ban him from the country. | :01:48. | :01:51. | |
Lance, we will start with the Guardian. Defiant Hilary Benn, still | :01:52. | :01:58. | |
Shadow Foreign Secretary declares I have not been muzzled. The | :01:59. | :02:03. | |
suggestion is that part of the deal for him staying in his post would | :02:04. | :02:09. | |
not be as this difference as he has been in declaring his opposition to | :02:10. | :02:13. | |
certain elements of the Labour leadership's policies. But he is | :02:14. | :02:18. | |
saying he has not been muzzled. I spent much of the afternoon down at | :02:19. | :02:21. | |
Westminster. I have spoken to some of the people at the centre of the | :02:22. | :02:26. | |
story. Those around Hillary Benn are absolutely adamant that not only has | :02:27. | :02:31. | |
he not signed up to any new terms of agreement or be muzzled as it might | :02:32. | :02:36. | |
have been described, but he was never even asked to do so. I think | :02:37. | :02:42. | |
there has been a lot of very let's say I'm helpful briefing, both | :02:43. | :02:45. | |
before, during and after this lengthy and rather preposterous at | :02:46. | :02:53. | |
times reshuffle. That is another piece of disinformation that has | :02:54. | :02:56. | |
been thrown into the pot. He will carry on as before. Bronwen, with | :02:57. | :03:04. | |
your outsider eyes, if you don't mind me saying that, what does this | :03:05. | :03:09. | |
look like to you? They are opposition, they are supposed to be | :03:10. | :03:17. | |
keeping checks and balances on the Conservatives and we have all this | :03:18. | :03:21. | |
going on. I see this over and over and I think, not again. Coming from | :03:22. | :03:27. | |
the outside, when I was in business and I had people, I wanted the best | :03:28. | :03:33. | |
people around me. I wanted to employ the best people. Even if they don't | :03:34. | :03:37. | |
agree with you. What you should be able to do, if you are a leader and | :03:38. | :03:41. | |
if you are good enough, and I always hoped I was good enough, to bring | :03:42. | :03:47. | |
them all along with you, so you really can be an effective business, | :03:48. | :03:51. | |
opposition, government, whatever it is. I find this a little bit | :03:52. | :03:58. | |
surprising, and a bit unnerving that did he not have the best people | :03:59. | :04:02. | |
before? Does he have the best people now? That is an important point | :04:03. | :04:08. | |
because normally reshuffles are there to clear away the dead wood. | :04:09. | :04:11. | |
You might want to get somebody better into their post but these are | :04:12. | :04:17. | |
very good performers. These are some of the brightest people on Labour's | :04:18. | :04:23. | |
front bench who appeared to pose a threat real or imaginary to Jeremy | :04:24. | :04:25. | |
Corbyn. They are people that any Labour leader would want. Who is at | :04:26. | :04:33. | |
fault for this? Does the blame for the handling of this whole thing I | :04:34. | :04:41. | |
at Seamus Milne's door? He is the director of communications. There | :04:42. | :04:45. | |
are questions being asked publicly about Seamus Milne. Labour should | :04:46. | :04:49. | |
have been out there campaigning on the floods and rail fares and the | :04:50. | :04:52. | |
health service and all sorts of things which really matter to | :04:53. | :04:57. | |
people. The story was allowed to run and run, including the threat to | :04:58. | :05:02. | |
Hilary Benn's position. If this position was never under threat, | :05:03. | :05:05. | |
they had plenty of opportunity to kill that story if they had wanted | :05:06. | :05:11. | |
to. They kept it going. It was badly handled if media terms but also in | :05:12. | :05:15. | |
political terms. It has been pretty shabby. North Korea's hydrogen bomb | :05:16. | :05:26. | |
sends shock waves through the UN. It is not the first time they have done | :05:27. | :05:31. | |
it, I think it is the fourth time they have set off some sort of | :05:32. | :05:37. | |
nuclear device, shall we say. No one is clear if it is the more powerful | :05:38. | :05:43. | |
hydrogen bomb or the common or garden atom bomb. That is bad | :05:44. | :05:49. | |
enough! Apparently, the seismic measurement was such that it | :05:50. | :05:53. | |
probably was not a hydrogen bomb. The interesting thing about this | :05:54. | :05:58. | |
particular article is it is talking about how will the UN react to this. | :05:59. | :06:04. | |
It is the first time that China has joined in the global protest against | :06:05. | :06:10. | |
this nuclear test. They are looking now at what they are going to do. I | :06:11. | :06:15. | |
think in this article the UN ambassador for Japan is saying the | :06:16. | :06:21. | |
UN needs to do something quickly, in terms of sanctions. They're already | :06:22. | :06:26. | |
20 entity is and I think 12 individuals who have sanctions | :06:27. | :06:28. | |
against them, and I think they want increase that. Normally, North | :06:29. | :06:35. | |
Korea, they set off some kind of device or they fire a missile across | :06:36. | :06:40. | |
the Straits of two pan, they do this to get attention and they do this to | :06:41. | :06:45. | |
try and get concessions from the international community. -- the | :06:46. | :06:54. | |
Straits of Japan. Setting of a hydrogen bomb will have the opposite | :06:55. | :06:56. | |
effect and tighten sanctions against? And there have been | :06:57. | :06:58. | |
previous stories where they appear to stop doing this sort of thing to | :06:59. | :07:03. | |
get sanctions lifted, but once again it raises questions about how | :07:04. | :07:06. | |
effective these sanctions can ever be, and whether or not the nutcases | :07:07. | :07:10. | |
who run countries like North Korea really care. Those at the top are | :07:11. | :07:15. | |
already subject to sanctions so you add another 20 names to the list, | :07:16. | :07:19. | |
does that make any difference at all to the intentions of the regime? It | :07:20. | :07:24. | |
may well be a publicity stunt. They want to be noticed, they want to be | :07:25. | :07:34. | |
taken seriously. They probably like the fact the UN Security Council has | :07:35. | :07:39. | |
to be formed in response to them. This shows the weakness of the | :07:40. | :07:41. | |
United Nations rather than the strength. | :07:42. | :07:48. | |
Onto the I, Bronwyn, five more extremist slipped out of the UK? How | :07:49. | :07:54. | |
difficult is it to get out of the UK? Clearly quite easy, even if you | :07:55. | :08:00. | |
have a passport. Your passport is checked on the way in, but I cannot | :08:01. | :08:04. | |
remember the last time my passport was checked on the way out and that | :08:05. | :08:08. | |
is the problem. You do have your photograph taken now and I'm sure | :08:09. | :08:14. | |
they're not instigated enough to have face recognition that sort of | :08:15. | :08:18. | |
thing. Also, if you warn these people that they should be handing | :08:19. | :08:24. | |
in their passports, I think, if I was a terrorist, I would be getting | :08:25. | :08:31. | |
out of the country. I think they will have to tighten it up. The | :08:32. | :08:36. | |
pressure is really being put on Theresa May now and the Home Office | :08:37. | :08:40. | |
over this. The question is what do you do? Theresa May has indicated | :08:41. | :08:49. | |
they will introduce passport checks on exits from the UK but that in | :08:50. | :08:51. | |
itself does not mean anything. As an island nation it is easy enough to | :08:52. | :08:56. | |
slip out of the country. How far do you go in the other direction? It is | :08:57. | :09:00. | |
worth noting that of the five people the story talks about, three of them | :09:01. | :09:05. | |
are supposed to have been killed in drone strikes since they left. | :09:06. | :09:08. | |
Clearly, it is preferable to make sure they don't leave in the first | :09:09. | :09:12. | |
place. Do you start putting electronic tag some people so you | :09:13. | :09:15. | |
can monitor them electronic way to find out where they are? The person | :09:16. | :09:20. | |
at the centre of all this had not been before a judge. He was only on | :09:21. | :09:24. | |
police bail. They're always questions about how far you can go. | :09:25. | :09:30. | |
Onto the Financial Times. Osborne warns of a risk -- cocktail of risks | :09:31. | :09:39. | |
over China and the slump in oil. I think the global economy is in for a | :09:40. | :09:44. | |
bumpy ride and what he's saying is a lot of these are external. China, we | :09:45. | :09:49. | |
have seen the stock markets have really taken a beating this week | :09:50. | :09:56. | |
over the slowdown in China, the slump in oil prices, oil prices | :09:57. | :10:01. | |
below $35 for the first time in 25 years. Tensions we have talked about | :10:02. | :10:07. | |
between Saudi Arabia and Iran and therefore, they won't get together | :10:08. | :10:12. | |
in Opec and perhaps try and push oil prices up. What he's saying is, | :10:13. | :10:17. | |
don't forget there a crisis, we are not through it yet, we still have to | :10:18. | :10:23. | |
deal with austerity and we cannot let it go. Is he saying we are going | :10:24. | :10:28. | |
to miss another deficit reduction target? I think he's indicating | :10:29. | :10:33. | |
that. There was a comment at Christmas that the growth figures | :10:34. | :10:37. | |
were better than he thought, now he looks like the opposite is the case. | :10:38. | :10:43. | |
Bronwyn is the expert not me, there are huge shocks like the situation | :10:44. | :10:46. | |
in China, the fall in the price of oil, and how is a bit more austerity | :10:47. | :10:51. | |
Britain is supposed to protect us from that, I don't understand. I | :10:52. | :10:56. | |
think one of the problems is if growth slows then you don't get the | :10:57. | :11:01. | |
tax revenues in, and so if you let off the brakes, it all starts to | :11:02. | :11:08. | |
balloon out again. All right. We will end it finally on the Daily | :11:09. | :11:11. | |
Telegraph. Trump's ?700 million threat to the UK. Basically, some of | :11:12. | :11:17. | |
his comments in the United States have ruffled feathers around the | :11:18. | :11:20. | |
world, as he runs for the leadership of the Republican party and to be | :11:21. | :11:23. | |
contender for the White House. Some Brits are suggesting he | :11:24. | :11:34. | |
Basically, this is his threat. But he is | :11:35. | :11:46. | |
million and I am not going to do that. He is running a business, so | :11:47. | :11:49. | |
obviously, his business requires him to invest in what he already has in | :11:50. | :11:57. | |
Scotland. Could he be making that up? Donald Trump makes a lot of | :11:58. | :12:05. | |
threats! He seems to have a poor understanding of how British | :12:06. | :12:08. | |
democracy works. There may be a debate in the House of Commons but | :12:09. | :12:12. | |
he will not be banned from coming here so this will not arise. You | :12:13. | :12:16. | |
will both be back in an hour's time. Thank you. Stay with us on BBC News. | :12:17. | :12:22. | |
Much more, not but now it is time for | :12:23. | :12:23. |
