15/12/2016 The Papers

Hugh short-changed you with the sport there! Welcome to our look

ahead to what the papers will bring us tomorrow. Michael Booker, deputy

editor of the express and Joan Bakewell. These are the front pages.

Civilians evacuated from rebel held areas of Aleppo.

The Financial Times reports the EU is considering rule changes which

would hit the City of London after Brexit. More than 600 primary

schools in England have failed to reach their sap exam targets. The

telegraph says the UK will be presented with a ?50 billion bill

when it leaves the EU. The Daily Mail says that fewer than a fifth of

GP surgeries in England of out of hours appointments. The Mirror

reports the sentencing of a man who planted a bomb on a bus and

threatened to blow up the Queen. And the Express Ports cleaning your

teeth might help avoid arthritis. The express looking at the

ramifications of Brexit. Therese eight is in Brussels, meeting other

leaders from the European Union and then excluded from the dinner while

they discuss how they might approach Brexit. The telegraph says the EU

hands Britain a ?50 billion Brexit bill. That bill will be presented

the moment we trigger Article 50. It will be next March and we will get a

bill for ?50 billion because that is what they would like us to have. We

owe them outstanding pensions liabilities? Loan guarantees and

spending on UK-based projects? Iain Duncan Smith is across this. He uses

real diplomatic language, he says it is a dreadful joke. It is going to

be pretty acrimonious as that is how we begin. It does seem to be sabre

rattling from the EU. There are things point scoring that goes on.

Therese isn't getting her dinner tonight. The EU will be poking us

with sticks until we trigger Article 50. That is when the decisions not

to be made. They say these are all payments we have agreed to pay

already, things we are liable for. Iain Duncan Smith takes the opposite

view. We will get a lot of toing and froing, stories like this that will

accept the EU, they will keep raising the stakes and make

themselves look stronger. The FT has other financial woes ahead. The EU

plan to curb city's Euro clearing. That is where a promise of a

transaction becomes an actual transfer of the money. It is very

lucrative and takes place here often. London is a huge centre for

it. The city were worried because they were very much for staying in.

They like to report these sorts of stories. The problems that could

happen to the City, come Brexit. This is really about Brexit but the

people in the euro zone. Definitely trying to poke Britain. Bad

repercussions for leaving the EU, they are saying, even though this is

really part of the negotiation. I suspect the French are behind this.

The chief negotiator, he is French and he suggested previously the

Brexit negotiation should take place in French. Why would they want to

make it easy for us? I like Fred and they don't speak French at any

conferences, and that sets the tone. -- they like French. The Euro

clearing has led an attempt a few years ago to do this and the French

are really angry with us. We have to mention Aleppo tonight at the

evacuations of a thousand people so far, should be about 3000 I think by

now. Four years of fighting and the rebel held part of the city has

finally fallen. It is terrible. This is a battle that is coming to an end

and there is no formula for how a battle ends, it just does in

slaughter and chaos. There is no formula for it, history doesn't give

us any template, except suffering. And we are witnessing it. We can

only watch. I don't know why we aren't sending help and humanitarian

aid. I would have thought that was the least we could do. I don't think

adding more arms into the situation is a good thing but we should be in

there with as much as we could possibly do and I don't get any

feeling we're doing it. You get the impression that logistically that

any claim that goes anywhere near that is liable to be blown up. Boris

Johnson said that earlier and he has a big decision to make if we take

part in anything like that. There is horrible suffering and you can see,

Britain, America, we are all terribly scared of what the Russians

will do. But we have drones. What is interesting is that everyone says

how terrible it is. Why not at this stage, say, we could collaborate on

humanitarian aid. They should be some overarching sympathy which

says, Assad has won this battle. We know that. We are dealing with

madmen, though. Humanitarian aid should be... Madmen are quite

skilful at negotiating their reputations. He has turned up

looking very smart, saying, I am pleased the rebellion is over. You

would think somebody could bring together a humanitarian effort but I

don't see it. These buses which looking pretty good condition, they

have provided by President Assad to take civilians, wounded, and some

fighters to other rebel held areas, it is bizarre. They say after four

years of brutal sees adding quotes, it says they are being rescued but

we don't know what sort of future these people are going to have. We

don't know where they are going, more uncertainty for them and the

people left in Aleppo. Back to the FT, Janet is expecting it. James

Murdoch dismisses regulatory fears over Sky's ?11.7 billion bid for

Sky. Why would we be concerned about this? A lot of people are. The

Labour Party are saying we need to look at plurality of people owning

too much full . The National Union of Journalists

are very upset, they say we should wait until, if there is a Leveson

enquiries number two, until that. People are very upset about it.

Vince Cable looking at it when he was a government says it is not in

the public interest. People are rightly worried about it. This is

globalisation, the coming together of diverse interests in one

particular discipline and it consolidates until soon there will

only be a few global players and what leading media a multiplicity of

players. So you can get a diversity of views. This will be one company

which is not good for general discourse. I think this will get

referred to Ofcom and I think it may well get referred the CMS, to make a

judgment on it. Yes, Michael does Sky papers as well and Joan also

appears on landscape artist of the year on Sky so we don't abide

sharing! I can't speak for them! -- we don't mind sharing.

The curriculum has been made more difficult, tennis children take when

they are ten or 11. -- tests. Too much testing and rivalry. Is your

child as good as a child? We live in a highly educational competitive

environment and it is no wonder children are having nervous

breakdowns and complaining they have depression and issues when they are

children. They should be having a childhood. You hear of increasing

amounts of children who have anxiety and are going into high school

worried their exam results are good enough to compete with other

children. It does seem from my point of view, 25 years ago, we didn't

have this kind of testing and we look forward to the exams at the end

of the year that was it. What about the top university, Bristol, lowest

entry grades. School students. -- lowers entry grades for state school

students. Almost 40% of its undergraduates have attended

independent schools and Bristol university wants to remedy it by

offering five places to eat a Bristol school for children who

would not normally have achieved an entrance. I think that is the

beginning of quite an interesting move. Bristol is a very hip city,

very lively, very community minded. I think that could be a very good

move. A very sought after university. Talk about this story,

the Daily Express, brush teeth to beat arthritis. Headline of the day!

It is the simple ones people are interested in. This research has

been done in Baltimore. Studying thousands of cases with rheumatoid

arthritis and discovered there is... Many of them have gum disease also.

Particular bacteria, a 36 letter two word bacteria, pretty long, I can't

pronounce it! This creates an information and attacks the immune

system and that is where it goes in the joints. It needs a bit more work

doing as part of the research but if you get rid of everything out of

your mouth, everything else works a bit better. I like saying to a small

child, unless you brush your teeth, you will get arthritis in 60 years'

time! Linked to heart disease, things like that. Brush your teeth,

says many ills. Two minutes of brushing tonight, please! Let's go

back to the telegraph, been confusion leads to drop in

recycling. How difficult is it a sore jaw wine bottles from your bean

tins? I could never sorted out because I live in Camden and they

keep changing the rules. People are mixing the wrong things in the wrong

places and putting them in the wrong place. I like the idea here, mixing

bones from beat in with the recycling and trying to save food

encrusted cardboard, which is causing tonnes of damage. Cardboard

is cardboard, isn't it worth recycling? I have trouble and some

extra stickers have appeared on my bins recently so I think I have been

doing it wrong. Good event to help you like that! Recycling stations

are rejecting 15% of recycled waste from what they did previously and

they said there is increased competition amongst these recycling

places so they want a better standard of rubbish. I think people

have too much to think about. I have to commend my local authority, made

it very easy for us. It is probably posh! Exactly, look at me, listen to

be! That is it. Don't forget all the front pages

are online on the BBC News website where you can read

a detailed review.
