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

:00:14.:00:16.

With me are Claire Cohen, Deputy Women's Editor

:00:17.:00:21.

at The Daily Telegraph and Author and journalist, Matthew Green.

:00:22.:00:25.

The Times leads with plans by the European Parliament to offer

:00:26.:00:31.

Britons who would pay an annual fee EU citizenship after Brexit.

:00:32.:00:36.

The i highlights a Black Friday record spending, with British

:00:37.:00:40.

consumers shelling out ?8 billion to kickstart the Christmas season.

:00:41.:00:43.

The Daily Mail talks about Jaguar Land Rover planning

:00:44.:00:47.

to double their production in Britain, creating

:00:48.:00:51.

The Daily Telegraph leads with reports about a leaked memo

:00:52.:00:55.

suggesting that NHS hospitals have been told to outsource services

:00:56.:00:58.

Reports on accusations by Leave supporters that Remainers and EU

:00:59.:01:14.

lead, are plotting to leave Brexit. The Sun implies Darcey Bussell wants

:01:15.:01:18.

the former Shadow Chancellor Ed Balls out of the competition. Has

:01:19.:01:27.

she no heart? ! Thirsty, that water's gone already! ? Let's begin

:01:28.:01:31.

with the Daily Mirror. This is an immensely harrowing story that of

:01:32.:01:34.

course has been building over the last couple of weeks. Here is the

:01:35.:01:39.

headline: Robbie Savage, I fear there are hundreds of victims. This

:01:40.:01:44.

is the child abuse scandal within certain football clubs and he could

:01:45.:01:47.

easily be right with that assessment, couldn't he? Yes. He

:01:48.:01:52.

says it could get a lot worse and we have four police forces now

:01:53.:01:55.

investigating these allegations of historical child sexual abuse.

:01:56.:01:59.

Hampshire, Cheshire, Northumbria and the Met now today.

:02:00.:02:10.

Andy Woodward spoke to Victoria Derbyshire on BBC News last week and

:02:11.:02:15.

since then more people have felt able to come forward. But it's so

:02:16.:02:19.

upsetting to hear their testimony isn't it?

:02:20.:02:24.

Yes, it's one of those great collective shadows really in our

:02:25.:02:27.

society that's gradually emerging and we have seen it come in

:02:28.:02:31.

different stages, whether it's been in the church, Catholic Church, some

:02:32.:02:36.

years back, the BBC with the Jimmy Savile scandal and now of course

:02:37.:02:40.

football. One wonders what other institutions could be implicated in

:02:41.:02:45.

the future. I think of course there could be hundreds more cases here

:02:46.:02:48.

but we shouldn't forget there may be many thousands or tens of thousands

:02:49.:02:52.

of people who've been subjected to this who've never been acknowledged.

:02:53.:02:56.

The only hope is that these revelations will finally allow us to

:02:57.:03:00.

kind of cut through that curtain of shame that surrounds this topic and

:03:01.:03:03.

actually bring this to light for some healing. This story is on a

:03:04.:03:12.

couple of other papers as well. Talk of some people being paid off. The

:03:13.:03:15.

Guardian talking about the fact that Crewe Alexandra knew there was a

:03:16.:03:19.

problem and seemed to take no action, so it begs the question

:03:20.:03:23.

about whether there should be some kind of compulsory referral? Oh, I'm

:03:24.:03:28.

sure that's what victims and anyone involved in this harrowing story

:03:29.:03:34.

will be arguing for. More people come forward and certainly not just

:03:35.:03:37.

in football, victims are now seeing that they are being believed and

:03:38.:03:41.

that they are actually can shake off the stigma and come forward. That'll

:03:42.:03:45.

hopefully butt in place or set in motion a number of safeguarding

:03:46.:03:49.

procedures to make this regulated in future. Safeguarding standards and

:03:50.:03:55.

criteria have changed in recent times and we are talking about abuse

:03:56.:03:59.

that, as awful as it was and these men are now coming forward in their

:04:00.:04:05.

30s and #40s to report it, it did take place some time ago when the

:04:06.:04:08.

checks and balances that we have now weren't in place? Yes but I also

:04:09.:04:13.

don't think we can afford to be complacent either and I think if

:04:14.:04:17.

anything good can come out of revelations it's having that debate

:04:18.:04:20.

again more vigorously than we have had it ever before to really figure

:04:21.:04:24.

out the systems and change the culture, just make sure that it's OK

:04:25.:04:28.

to raise these topics, to have these discussions when they need to be

:04:29.:04:31.

had. It isn't just football, we have seen it in swimming and things like

:04:32.:04:35.

that where parents and children need to know that somebody will take note

:04:36.:04:38.

if you come forward with a concern. Absolutely. They need to normalise

:04:39.:04:44.

the procedure for people to be able to raise the flag without fear,

:04:45.:04:48.

stigma, worry, that it will come back on them. Don't you think it's

:04:49.:04:53.

time that we heard from the FA on this? Yes, the Premier League are

:04:54.:04:56.

very concerned, they say, about the allegations that have been made. But

:04:57.:05:00.

yes, of course, it takes leadership doesn't it from the governing body?

:05:01.:05:05.

That's right. We have to have a conversation about how we can best

:05:06.:05:09.

support the victims. People who've suffered this kind of abuse have

:05:10.:05:14.

suffered trauma which leaves an imprint in the psyche and the whole

:05:15.:05:18.

mind-body system that lasts a lifetime. There are therapies now

:05:19.:05:22.

that can be hugely helpful and we need to think about how we can

:05:23.:05:26.

support people to really heal as far as they can from these wounds.

:05:27.:05:31.

A look at The Times, paid to stay in Europe. Britons can buy EU

:05:32.:05:37.

citizenship, well, we can't, it's a suggestion under a plan. Sounds like

:05:38.:05:41.

it's already happening but it isn't. What is this plan? It's only a plan

:05:42.:05:47.

and it's a plan that may never be implemented, but it's been floated

:05:48.:05:51.

before the European Parliament that has part of the Brexit negotiation,

:05:52.:05:55.

individual British citizens who want to live and work in Europe could pay

:05:56.:05:59.

some sort of annual charge to retain some of the rights that they

:06:00.:06:04.

currently enjoy while being a member of the EU, presumably free movement

:06:05.:06:08.

and the right to work anywhere and so forth. It doesn't say much you

:06:09.:06:12.

would have to pay for that and it should be stressed this is very much

:06:13.:06:15.

just at the planning stage and whether it will ever become a

:06:16.:06:18.

reality I think is anybody's guess. It might appeal to some, but there

:06:19.:06:23.

are some MPs who think it would create a two tier citizenship in

:06:24.:06:30.

this country, Claire? Yes, some say it would create two classes of UK

:06:31.:06:34.

citizens and subvert the referendum vote. It would change the nature of

:06:35.:06:40.

EU citizenship to do this and it would involve a treaty change by all

:06:41.:06:43.

accounts to do it. Most things do, don't they? Yes. For this to happen

:06:44.:06:49.

by the deadline is a bit pie-in-the-sky. Yes. We are going to

:06:50.:06:53.

be treated to so many of the incremental stories where some idea

:06:54.:06:57.

is floated then a Euro-sceptic Tory MP's wheeled out to shoot them down,

:06:58.:07:02.

but the cold, hard facts remain that we are going to be pressing the

:07:03.:07:06.

button on a two-year countdown and on current forecasts looking at a

:07:07.:07:11.

very hard Brexit indeed which is going to be extremely painful for

:07:12.:07:15.

Britain. I believe this associate member idea came about from an MEP

:07:16.:07:21.

from Luxembourg who said there would be an amendment, but to what I don't

:07:22.:07:25.

know, that would give the citizenship if you fancy it.

:07:26.:07:29.

Different to your UK citizenship presumably. And I don't know who'd

:07:30.:07:36.

confer it upon you. It doesn't seem to be very clear at the moment. Then

:07:37.:07:42.

we've had the Maltese Prime Minister who is the incoming new EU President

:07:43.:07:50.

in January. He's saying hold on a minute, the European Parliament

:07:51.:07:53.

might vote against the deal that you strike, so don't think it's going to

:07:54.:07:58.

be that straightforward from our point of view either?

:07:59.:08:02.

Straightforward and Brexit are not two words that belong in the same

:08:03.:08:07.

sentence. Before we even start talking about the 40 years of law

:08:08.:08:13.

that's grown up out of our membership and unpicking that with

:08:14.:08:16.

the great Repeal Bill and all the rest of it? Yes. One commentator

:08:17.:08:21.

said essentially Brexit needs to be rebooted, we need to start it again

:08:22.:08:26.

from scratch. Preferably just the side that perhaps will just have

:08:27.:08:30.

blue passports back, maybe imperial measures and call it a day there and

:08:31.:08:34.

carry on as before. That would be an ideal solution. Do you think? Yes.

:08:35.:08:41.

Hard Brexit, soft Brexit and rebooted Brexit too. Who knows!

:08:42.:08:46.

Here it is! We can't even move on that quickly. The Daily Mail,

:08:47.:08:59.

Jaguar's Brexit boost. Retail export figures up and Jaguar Land Rover

:09:00.:09:02.

plans 10,000 new jobs it says, what's not to like? ! This is a kind

:09:03.:09:10.

of case study isn't it of yet more dishonest reporting by the Daily

:09:11.:09:14.

Mail related to Brexit. Why is it dishonest? Because the story is

:09:15.:09:19.

saying Jaguar is planning 10,000 new jobs, what actually happened is that

:09:20.:09:25.

yesterday the CEO of Jaguar Land Rover said that the company may

:09:26.:09:31.

consider investing in the UK if the Government stumps up ?450 million of

:09:32.:09:34.

infrastructure investment to support them. That's a lot of money for a

:09:35.:09:39.

Government which is already facing a growing bill from Brexit. So to

:09:40.:09:46.

present this very speculative remark by the Jaguar CEO as some kind of

:09:47.:09:52.

Brexit boost is dishonest. Well, the BBC's been reporting as well that

:09:53.:09:57.

it's predicated upon infrastructure improvements. Which the Daily Mail

:09:58.:10:02.

makes no mention of. But since when have we gone to the Daily Mail to

:10:03.:10:09.

tell us facts act Brexit. We are seeing the residue presented by the

:10:10.:10:13.

guy's psyche, it's not a guide to reality. Everyone watching would

:10:14.:10:17.

agree with me I think. Hold on. Everyone? ! I'll wait for the

:10:18.:10:22.

Twitter feed. Steady! That is an exaggeration. A lot of people would

:10:23.:10:27.

agree. Some. I'll say some. But, they are right aren't they, you

:10:28.:10:33.

know, it's good news. No, they are not right, Martine. There is no

:10:34.:10:38.

boost and it's a purely speculative remark taken out of context and

:10:39.:10:43.

slapped on the front-page. Look at the other headline, there are bullet

:10:44.:10:47.

points that cub taken as good news. Treat us to those, lair? Exports

:10:48.:10:54.

rose by 0.7%, helped by the weaker pound we are told. This is a big

:10:55.:11:01.

one, the Bavarian economics minister called for a comprehensive trades

:11:02.:11:08.

meeting with Britain. It's post-facts reality. Isn't this

:11:09.:11:12.

though Jaguar doing a Nissan and saying we are happy to stay...

:11:13.:11:16.

Trying to cut a sweetheart deal which isn't disclosed to Parliament

:11:17.:11:20.

as some kind of under-the-table negotiation which every company will

:11:21.:11:23.

be queueing up for. Not a very seemly sight is it? Let's look at

:11:24.:11:29.

the Telegraph, NHS to use private firms to beat the winter crisis, a

:11:30.:11:35.

leaked memo? It is a leaked memo. Another winter crisis. We haven't

:11:36.:11:39.

heard that one before have we? ! We are told this winter crisis is worse

:11:40.:11:47.

than ever. It says we have the highest level occupancy of hospital

:11:48.:11:56.

beds in the run-up to winter ever. NHS hospitals have been ordered to

:11:57.:12:00.

turn over some surgery to the private sector, we are told. Hip and

:12:01.:12:08.

knee replacements outsourced to private firms. At some cost.

:12:09.:12:11.

Wouldn't people rather get the treatment? Yes. The NHS is currently

:12:12.:12:19.

half way through its most austere decade Since the end of World War

:12:20.:12:26.

II. It's not surprising we are heading into a critical winter for

:12:27.:12:37.

the NHS. The real issue is the Government's cut back so much on

:12:38.:12:40.

social care spending that the hospitals are full of people who are

:12:41.:12:44.

well enough to go home but there's nowhere for them to go to. Until we

:12:45.:12:51.

sort out this whole mess with paying and properly funding social care, we

:12:52.:12:54.

are going to see stories like this again and again? There's been talk

:12:55.:12:59.

about trying to merge social and health care but it's such a huge

:13:00.:13:05.

problem to tackle and expensive? It is. We are talking about the winter

:13:06.:13:11.

crisis, it seems as though the NHS is in perpetual winter, it's always

:13:12.:13:16.

Narnia. And no mention in the Autumn Statement a few days ago. The Health

:13:17.:13:22.

Service is running very hot and patients are obviously going to pay

:13:23.:13:25.

the price for that. We are going to need to have a proper national

:13:26.:13:29.

debate in the UK about what we expect as citizens from the Health

:13:30.:13:33.

Service, how much we are going to be prepared to pay for that. Until that

:13:34.:13:37.

happens, it's going to be tough to go for that fundamental reform you

:13:38.:13:40.

have been talking about. And how much we are happy to have the

:13:41.:13:45.

principles eroded or compromised. After Brexit though, everything's

:13:46.:13:48.

got to wait until after Brexit. Once we have paid off the extra billions

:13:49.:13:58.

of debt. Not all due to Brexit. I digress. Bosses' pay in the MP's

:13:59.:14:04.

sights where company bosses, private company bosses should have to

:14:05.:14:09.

operate to the same rules as public companies, is that right? Yes. A lot

:14:10.:14:13.

of people will be cheering about this one. A reigning in of the fat

:14:14.:14:20.

Cats. Bosses such as Phillip Green it says here, are going to be... No

:14:21.:14:29.

relation? No relation! Are going to be bound, their salaries will be

:14:30.:14:33.

bound, bound by corporate governance essentially. Sounds like a good idea

:14:34.:14:41.

doesn't it? It does. We saw what happened at BHS and the idea that

:14:42.:14:44.

company bosses who own private companies can be held to a lesser

:14:45.:14:50.

standard than those who run publicly listed corporations does seem wrong,

:14:51.:14:53.

seems like a step in the right direction. On the other hand, you've

:14:54.:14:56.

got to look at the bigger picture haven't you? Theresa May's come out

:14:57.:15:01.

on this more populist platform since the Tory conference but we've also

:15:02.:15:04.

seen decisions where Local Government's been rolled over in

:15:05.:15:07.

favour of corporate interest, for example in Lancashire there's been a

:15:08.:15:12.

huge upwelling of opposition to fracking but the Government's

:15:13.:15:14.

approved that very swiftly. So it's easy to make these rather cosmetic

:15:15.:15:18.

changes but the real challenge will be whether the Government stands up

:15:19.:15:23.

on behalf of local people in the face of the bigger corporate

:15:24.:15:27.

interests. Miles Wilkinson agrees with your man on the papers! Thank

:15:28.:15:34.

you, Miles. No surprise. No relation? ! You are telling me The

:15:35.:15:42.

Express is next. Going back to the Express. My favourite subject. I

:15:43.:15:48.

haven't got this in my paper, sorry. The voices in my head pointing me in

:15:49.:15:52.

another direction. I don't think we'll have time for all of this.

:15:53.:15:57.

Plot to sabotage a US exit, who, how? There is no plot to sabotage EU

:15:58.:16:03.

exit is there, it's something that is being negotiated in disgust. The

:16:04.:16:08.

Daily Express will scream something until people start to believe it's

:16:09.:16:14.

true. This is referring to the Maltese Prime Minister Joseph Muscat

:16:15.:16:19.

who has said it might not be simple, the European Parliament might have

:16:20.:16:22.

something to say about it. That would frustrate things somewhat. It

:16:23.:16:26.

would but did we ever think it would be simple. It's like a pantomime.

:16:27.:16:34.

It's like, will they won't they. Are you doing a map cartoon now? My list

:16:35.:16:38.

doesn't show a fraction of these things. Keeping you on your toes.

:16:39.:16:52.

This is a ballot form saying Blair's referendum question. Are you very

:16:53.:16:56.

sorry you voted to leave the EU? One box says yes, I hate myself, the

:16:57.:17:02.

other box says, ask me again later. Discuss? I assume Matt is making the

:17:03.:17:10.

point that those of us who question the wisdom of leaving the EU

:17:11.:17:15.

certainly on hard Brexit terms, will just keep continuing to keep making

:17:16.:17:21.

this point again and again until eventually people start to agree

:17:22.:17:26.

with us. But yes, I mean, whether we want people to mate themselves for

:17:27.:17:30.

voting to leave is questionable -- hate themselves.

:17:31.:17:34.

It seems to imply to me that it's never over there,'s always another

:17:35.:17:40.

thing. Yes. We have drawn that story from the conclusions we have looked

:17:41.:17:47.

at tonight. It keeps us busy here. Ultimately, now it's bleak Friday,

:17:48.:17:51.

how the high street turned into a guest town. It would seem a lot of

:17:52.:17:56.

people weren't in a hurry to get out and buy a cut-priced deep fat frier

:17:57.:18:03.

like last year? If people weren't beating each other up at 5 o'clock

:18:04.:18:08.

this morning. The Male reports there were not queues outside shops in the

:18:09.:18:13.

wee hours but we are told we spent #137bedn the 2 billion online which

:18:14.:18:18.

would suggest the spending power on the Internet has lost none of its

:18:19.:18:24.

potency -- ?1.2 billion. I tried to buy a few things today, sold out,

:18:25.:18:30.

sold out. I bought this shirt and tie on Black Friday today. Was it a

:18:31.:18:34.

bargain? I hope the viewers at home are equally grateful. Of course they

:18:35.:18:39.

are. It was 20% discounted and I picked up two. My daughter who is

:18:40.:18:45.

only 12 told me today that every shop would have at least a 30%

:18:46.:18:51.

discount. No. We have to wait for Brexit to come before we get that.

:18:52.:18:56.

You were ripped off. You were, yes. Let's finish with a story that

:18:57.:19:05.

concerns me. Off with easy Ed. Darcey Bussell suggesting Ed Balls

:19:06.:19:10.

should leave the Strictly show. He's on three front-pages. He is. I know.

:19:11.:19:15.

Was he ever on three front-pages before, I don't know. Not even when

:19:16.:19:19.

he was in Government, probably not, I don't know. He's saying he's camp,

:19:20.:19:24.

he's got a spray tan and he's loving it but Darcey thinks it's time. Why?

:19:25.:19:30.

It's a bit to-faced isn't it Darcey I think. She says that the

:19:31.:19:35.

implication is that he's a novelty act and she wants to get back to

:19:36.:19:42.

serious dancing. What is wrong with novelty act on a Saturday night

:19:43.:19:46.

light entertainment night? Anne Widdecombe is quoted in the story.

:19:47.:19:53.

Which I love. Saying, the show's most successful multi-act. John

:19:54.:19:56.

Sergeant might have something to say about that! It would look good on

:19:57.:20:03.

your gravestone. Closely followed by John Sergeant who was described as a

:20:04.:20:08.

pig in Cuban heels, terribly unkind. It didn't matter, they kept him in

:20:09.:20:12.

for ages. We'll see, there is no plot apparently to get rid of him.

:20:13.:20:18.

He's great fun. We all loved Gangnam Style. We did! That's the papers.

:20:19.:20:23.

Front-pages online on the BBC News website where you can read the

:20:24.:20:27.

detailed review, there for you seven days a week. You can see us there

:20:28.:20:35.

too each night with the editions posted shortly after we are

:20:36.:20:39.

finished, posted on iPlayer too. Thank you Matthew and Claire. We

:20:40.:20:43.

appreciate you going to the extra trouble with your shirt and tie.

:20:44.:20:47.

Thank you very much. Coming up, the headlines shortly and the

:20:48.:20:48.
