07/02/2016 The Papers

Sorry we kept you, thank you for bearing with us.

Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be

With me are the broadcaster Alice Arnold and sports

The FT reports that the US is urging China to punish North Korea after it

launched a long-range missile without warning.

The Independent says David Cameron is poised

to turn his back on the Conservatives' tough policy

on prisons by admitting the stance has been a "scandalous

The Express claims the former Shadow Home Secretary

David Davis has warned that the Prime Minister's deal on EU

reform won't stop a fresh surge of migrants.

The Guardian says the EU is preparing new legislation

to make global firms more transparent over their tax dealings.

The Metro alleges that a so-called Islamic State fanatic

made his way to Syria on a convoy organised by former MP George

In a statement tonight, he insisted he didn't know Alexanda

The Times suggests that agency medics

are using the junior doctors dispute to demand higher rates

And finally, the Mirror says a father

who lost his daughter in the 7/7 terror attacks says he was upset

that a bus was blown up as part of a film stunt near the Houses

of Parliament - echoing the real atrocity.

That's a lot to get through. The FT. What's been happening in North Korea

with this rocket test. The US is trying to punish John Yapp for

rocket tests, it says. They will take this carefully. The last thing

China wants is to destabilise North Korea, and have thousands of

migrants coming over the border into China. They want to tread very, very

carefully on this. It seems that China is not quite so supportive of

what North Korea is doing as it might have been some years ago. No,

they are worried about it, but not keen to take action. Whereas the US

and South Korea have begun formal talks about deploying an advanced

defence system which is called the terminal high-altitude defence

platform. The word terminal is very worrying! Missiles to counteract the

missiles and they will fight each other in the air without bombing

others on the ground. That is what they want to put into place. We need

to move on quickly because we have a lot to get through. We'll be back

with a longer version later. Ban high denomination notes to cut

crimes as a bank chief. How will that help? Criminals use these big

notes, you know when you watch the films and they open the briefcase

and there are all these big notes, they are all ?100 notes, or $100

notes and if they banned those, the bike would have to be bigger because

the money would be in five is! So if they banned the big denominations it

would be harder for criminals to launder money. I would prefer it if

it was less easy to send the money to the British Virgin Islands and

move it around the world and basically launder it. It's a good

story, and papers over the cracks, literally, but the amount of money,

that he will see changed in cash is low compared to the amount that is

moved around the world to avoid taxes. And done so and electronic

leave. The Guardian. London is identified as -- Londoners

identified as part of an Isis hostage cell. There are some

nicknamed after the Beatles, the Fab four because they were four of them

involved in the executions. It's not a surprise they are from London.

Young Muslims in Britain are being made militant by what is going on

over there. Supposedly they are going on a mission to help people

because it often starts, radicalisation, with the urge to

help the people who are suffering and then it can be perverted easily

by what you hear on the ground and you see the actuality and the

violence of it. Another story to do with this same man in the metro,

Daesh killer, it is suggested that this picture was on an aid convoy

organised by George Galloway. The same story, there seems to have been

some identification that has taken place, not confirmed by everyone,

confirmed by the metro and the Guardian. This gang of four that you

are talking about possibly went out. George Galloway says he doesn't know

the name and has never heard of it. Yes, we have the statement from a

spokesman for Mr Galloway saying that he had never heard of this

manner until his name was in press reports this weekend. The statement

says the aid convoy predates the formation of Islamic State and there

were 120 vehicles and hundreds of people on them. He says that even

though he was on the convoy he has no recollection of this man. He says

that Mr Galloway did not know the name of this man, it was possible he

could have been on that trip, George doesn't know his name. I can see the

value of the news bringing Galloway into it, it is politicising it. If

you are a young Muslim it would make you even angrier. What has it got to

do with George Galloway! Demonised. Seven years ago. The story in the

Guardian, more sensibly, says that this group had all possibly attended

the same mosque, the musk says that so many people attended and that

they don't know if these people did. The Independent says, treat

prisoners as assets and not liabilities, says the Prime

Minister. This sounds quite progressive. David Cameron says the

prison system has been a scandalous failure for years. Not the kind of

thing you would expect from the Conservatives. It's interesting. He

hasn't talked about the prison system the 20 years. And everything

you are reading about what he says, one would have expected it to have

been said by a Labour Prime Minister, not a Tory one. He's

talking about more community service, there are problems with

that, been a magistrate, I know this, but tagging people instead of

getting prisoners in prison and more rehabilitation and less punishment.

Budget ideological or something else? Cameron is more socially

liberal than many people credit for. I'm not saying it is nice, I'm

saying he is socially liberal! We need to decide what exactly

prisoners are for, punishment or rehabilitation. Make a decision and

work down that path. They could be both. A deprivation of liberty and

the chance rehabilitation. It says that prisoners can't do the

rehabilitation because the prisons are overcrowded. If they have to be

locked up 23 hours a day they don't have time to send them on courses

and make them productive citizens when they leave. The repeat

offenders figures show it isn't working and he knows that and he

will try to move in that direction. The daily Mirror, the headline says

tasteless, thoughtless, Marana, about the huge explosion of a bus on

Lambeth Bridge very close to the Houses of Parliament. This sparked

panic, causing trauma for survivors and relatives of those who died on

the July seven attacks. I live in that area, and I pass this kind of

thing all the time, when they were filming the James Bond movies they

closed the bridges and they were doing these things all the time. It

is quite clear that it is not a terrorist incident. There were signs

everywhere. Food fans with the extras are queueing up, roadblocks.

-- food fans. When you see the picture on its own it does look

terrible and you could imagine that would scare people. In reality, when

you are coming down there, it blocks the traffic and annoys you but it is

clear that it's a film. It is conceivable that if you heard the

bang it would be terrifying to anyone. When I saw that picture I

thought, golly, I missed that today. My next thought was, that is some

Phil Mustard, that picture looks amazing. If anyone in the vicinity

doesn't know that that is a movie, I would be shocked. That's the daily

Mirror, we'll be back with more front pages if we can find any more,

we did well there! To comment on the headlines, please send us a tweet.

Stay with us. At 11 o'clock, the UK joins the condemnation of North

Korea's launching a long-range missile. A second look at the papers

with Alice and Tony at 11:30pm. Now the
