:00:14. > :00:16.Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be

:00:17. > :00:22.With me are London Evening Standard's Home Affairs Editor,

:00:23. > :00:25.Martin Bentham, and Cassell Bryan-Low, UK Editor

:00:26. > :00:34.The Metro says there's been a huge rise in crimes linked to Tinder -

:00:35. > :00:37.it says users of the app have been raped, robbed and blackmailed

:00:38. > :00:42.The Daily Telegraph says some of the country's

:00:43. > :00:45.highest-paid public sector workers - including civil servants and head

:00:46. > :00:49.teachers - are pushing for big pay rises, to make up for pensions cuts.

:00:50. > :00:50.The Daily Express reports that Eurosceptics

:00:51. > :00:54.are furious over David Cameron's latest push for Britain to stay

:00:55. > :01:07.in tomorrow's strike by junior doctors, according to the I.

:01:08. > :01:09.Sean Penn's handshake with the now-captured

:01:10. > :01:14.drugs kingpin El Chapo features on the front of the Independent.

:01:15. > :01:18.The Daily Mirror has the story that 25 former Coalition

:01:19. > :01:21.ministers are now employed in industries they oversaw

:01:22. > :01:28.The Guardian warns of a funding crisis

:01:29. > :01:33.for the Labour Party, which it says could be set to lose

:01:34. > :01:38.And - Cameron aims for a summer vote -

:01:39. > :01:41.the Financial Times tips this summer for the referendum on British

:01:42. > :01:51.We can begin with the European Union, Will Britt and exit the

:01:52. > :02:07.European Union? Daschle Will Britt and exit -- Will Britt exit. What

:02:08. > :02:11.should the Prime Minister do? The Eurosceptics feel they are being

:02:12. > :02:16.muzzled, told they cannot campaign against openly, and they feel the

:02:17. > :02:20.Prime Minister has said, even though he has not secured this deal, that

:02:21. > :02:24.he is hoping to get, that he has already made his mind up and he does

:02:25. > :02:28.not have a plan B for what happens if we do vote to go out when the

:02:29. > :02:34.referendum comes and that is what this story is all about. The Daily

:02:35. > :02:38.Express is a Eurosceptic paper and they backed Ukip at the last

:02:39. > :02:41.election and they clearly are reflecting that particular

:02:42. > :02:47.perspective in the debate. It is fairly clear, from what people have

:02:48. > :02:53.said, which MPs are for the EU and which are against. Yes, but what we

:02:54. > :02:57.will see, as the collective responsibility is lifted, the divide

:02:58. > :03:02.will go from the top to the bottom of the party, and there has been new

:03:03. > :03:09.estimates about how many people in the Cabinet and how many MPs on each

:03:10. > :03:13.side of the fence and we will see more of that once the deal is

:03:14. > :03:19.reached. Looking at the Financial Times, getting a business

:03:20. > :03:24.perspective. This is the headline, David Cameron aims for some voters

:03:25. > :03:37.and business plays down exit fears. What are the standings that you

:03:38. > :03:48.leaders, talking about how most of them think it will have a negative

:03:49. > :03:52.effect on the British economy, but I don't think it will affect them, but

:03:53. > :03:56.when you talk to companies outside the UK, Japanese and American

:03:57. > :03:59.car-makers, for instance, they feel very definitely, that it would make

:04:00. > :04:04.a difference to their business, if the UK was not in the EU and they

:04:05. > :04:09.see the UK as a launch pad for their businesses that might affect

:04:10. > :04:13.investment in the UK. The subheading here, Prime Minister, than of

:04:14. > :04:18.striking a deal with the EU, but this is a far cry from what he set

:04:19. > :04:23.out to achieve initially. Yes, and he has not struck it, that is the

:04:24. > :04:32.other problem. They feel that the deal that he is going to get, even

:04:33. > :04:40.his highest optimistic deal is actually a very limited agreement

:04:41. > :04:45.which ends the principle of ever closer union, the pie minister says

:04:46. > :04:52.that is a significant change which protects opt out agreements -- the

:04:53. > :04:54.Prime Minister. Critics say this amounts to nothing very much, and

:04:55. > :05:02.the Prime Minister has not struck this deal anyway, and on the issue

:05:03. > :05:07.of benefits and free movement, that has gone out of the window, and

:05:08. > :05:11.regarding benefits, Harter said he will get anything at all, and that

:05:12. > :05:15.is at the centre of what has been his alleged strategy for trying to

:05:16. > :05:20.strike and renegotiate our deal -- hard to say he will get anything.

:05:21. > :05:25.This week, before the Treasury Select Committee, we have the

:05:26. > :05:30.vice-chairman of Barclays investment division, saying there would be

:05:31. > :05:34.disruption if we came out of the EU, but the City of London would still

:05:35. > :05:40.be the leading financial sector in Europe in ten years' time. And there

:05:41. > :05:44.is talk that businesses think themselves, that they would not

:05:45. > :05:47.suffer, and so the idea that this is all a disaster, this will provide

:05:48. > :05:55.succour to those who are campaigning for a no. What would the deal have

:05:56. > :05:59.to look like to convince either camp to change their mind at this stage?

:06:00. > :06:03.There are many people in the Conservative Party, regardless of

:06:04. > :06:06.what David Cameron can secure, they will not change their minds, and the

:06:07. > :06:11.Prime Minister has to get something which will convince 51% of the

:06:12. > :06:17.general public. Another interesting thing, in terms of the timing, we

:06:18. > :06:21.are talking about if he reaches a deal in February, that could mean a

:06:22. > :06:27.vote in the summer, and if you talk to officials in Brussels, they think

:06:28. > :06:31.the timing infirmary is very ambitious and challenging and some

:06:32. > :06:34.would say unrealistic, so maybe it is March rather than fabric but

:06:35. > :06:41.maybe the vote will then be later than summer -- rather than February.

:06:42. > :06:44.He has aways wanted to get it over and done with as quickly as

:06:45. > :06:47.possible, that is what he does like to do, and the critics will say that

:06:48. > :06:58.he is rushing to one without striking a deal, because he wants to

:06:59. > :07:03.get out -- it out of the way. And now to the metro. This is about the

:07:04. > :07:07.Cologne attacks, there seems to be more detail about how the attacks

:07:08. > :07:15.took place against a many women on New Year's Eve. This story talks

:07:16. > :07:19.about the justice minister in Germany, saying that it was an

:07:20. > :07:22.organised crime network who perpetrated the attacks, and this is

:07:23. > :07:29.the latest escalation for Angela Merkel, who is usually various jute,

:07:30. > :07:35.the -- usually very astute, but this has come back to haunt her. It has

:07:36. > :07:39.continued to escalate and now pulling out of Davos is the latest

:07:40. > :07:43.problem. The attacks were co-ordinated using a variety of

:07:44. > :07:47.means. That is what the Justice Ministry are saying, and I suppose

:07:48. > :07:53.if they were on organised crime gang rather than individual people, I

:07:54. > :07:56.suppose they are bad people in the first place, if they come from an

:07:57. > :08:02.organised crime network, so maybe it makes it easier to deal with that

:08:03. > :08:06.kind of person and that kind of criminality, without it being a

:08:07. > :08:10.general pattern of behaviour which is one of the toxic things which has

:08:11. > :08:14.been raised in recent days in Germany, that this reflects general

:08:15. > :08:18.behaviour by migrants in that country, and that would be even more

:08:19. > :08:22.difficult to deal with for Angela Merkel and a very negative thing if

:08:23. > :08:27.that were seen to be the case. The Daily Telegraph. BMA has advanced

:08:28. > :08:46.CORBA -- -- the BMA has advanced

:08:47. > :08:55.Corbynitis, according to Boris Johnson. There have been suggestions

:08:56. > :08:59.that there are links from the BMA to Labour, and that is the line of

:09:00. > :09:04.attack from Boris here. There is politics going on here, as to the

:09:05. > :09:09.rights and wrongs of this strike, and Boris Johnson is getting stuck

:09:10. > :09:12.in, in typical colourful fashion, suggesting it will be left dominated

:09:13. > :09:18.an old-style militant action which should not be happening. He's also

:09:19. > :09:24.making the point that there are certain occupations that you don't

:09:25. > :09:33.expect to see strike. Yes. Doctors is a charged one, and coming back to

:09:34. > :09:40.your point, Boris Johnson is harking back to the 1980s and the hard left

:09:41. > :09:45.troubles of Labour. Much politicking. I'm not sure it is

:09:46. > :09:50.entirely justified to paint them in that light, they feel they have a

:09:51. > :09:55.grievance, whether they are right, personally I think it is

:09:56. > :10:01.unjustifiable to keep suggesting you have got to work additional hours

:10:02. > :10:06.and then they get paid extra for working the evenings and at and from

:10:07. > :10:11.that perspective the change which is recommended by the government is in

:10:12. > :10:15.essence right, but the issue is, compensation for that, and the

:10:16. > :10:19.doctors say also an issue of safety, but I think it is unfair to paint

:10:20. > :10:22.that as a politically driven thing. It is clearly about what the doctors

:10:23. > :10:33.believed to be about pain conditions and what happens to patients. The

:10:34. > :10:45.independent. Sean Penn mates El Chapo, when he meets Joaquin Guzman

:10:46. > :10:48.-- Sean Penn mates. He has escaped high security prisons on two

:10:49. > :10:54.occasions. He dug his way to a shower room. Much controversy over

:10:55. > :10:57.an Sean Penn meeting him. This was the interview that the actor did for

:10:58. > :11:05.Rolling Stone magazine, published over the weekend. Questions being

:11:06. > :11:11.raised for the actor now, what responsibility does he have given

:11:12. > :11:16.that he was meeting with a wanted criminal? Another person involved,

:11:17. > :11:20.Mexican actress who helped facilitate the interview, and given

:11:21. > :11:25.that she is in Mexico, it might be easier for her to be tracked down

:11:26. > :11:31.for the Mexican authorities, it will be hard for the Mexican authorities

:11:32. > :11:34.to interview Sean Penn if the Americans do not want that to

:11:35. > :11:40.happen. The Mexican officials have said him having this meeting but

:11:41. > :11:43.Sean Penn help them catch on. Of course, if they got wind of the fact

:11:44. > :11:47.he was going to do it, they could track his phone and his

:11:48. > :11:52.communications, that is probably how they did it, and then they could not

:11:53. > :11:58.locate this major drug dealer in self -- and then they could locate

:11:59. > :12:03.this major drug dealer himself or stop he is entitled to talk to such

:12:04. > :12:08.a person, but the question is how you do it. The tone of the

:12:09. > :12:12.interview. There was copy approval given to the piece, which is

:12:13. > :12:15.questionable, although that happens with celebrities in this country

:12:16. > :12:19.when they give interviews, they demand that kind of thing. Clearly,

:12:20. > :12:25.you would hope the interview has been conducted in a way which put

:12:26. > :12:29.tough questions to El Chapo, and the idea of having an interview with

:12:30. > :12:31.someone like this is not reprehensible, even if it might be

:12:32. > :12:37.distasteful to give someone like this publicity. It is quite a scoop

:12:38. > :12:42.for Rolling Stone magazine. Finally, we go back to the Financial Times,

:12:43. > :12:49.for a tiny news in brief story at the top of the page. Surge in

:12:50. > :12:56.number, a 35 year high in mortgages, make sure heart sink. -- makes your

:12:57. > :13:00.heart sink. This is depressing, you will be paying your mortgage for

:13:01. > :13:03.ever and ever, a sign of increasing house prices and the difficulty of

:13:04. > :13:10.buying anything for people, especially young people. We are

:13:11. > :13:13.seeing increasing household debt, we need to dealer average after the

:13:14. > :13:19.financial crisis, household debt is increasing again and it comes at a

:13:20. > :13:23.time when rates are said to increase. To keep with the gloomy

:13:24. > :13:27.theme, that does not bode well. What choice to people have if they want

:13:28. > :13:32.to own their own property and these are the only terms they can get one?

:13:33. > :13:39.If you are not buying your first house until you are 40... On a 35

:13:40. > :13:42.year mortgage, that is a long haul. I don't know why we are laughing,

:13:43. > :13:51.May because we already have mortgages. -- maybe because.

:13:52. > :13:58.Thank you Martin Bentham and Cassell Bryan-Low -

:13:59. > :14:01.you'll both be back at 2330 for another look at the stories

:14:02. > :14:07.We have more on the aid agencies trying to reach parts of Syria with

:14:08. > :14:09.food.
