: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 Martin Lipton, deputy head of sport
:00:23. > :00:24.at The Sun and Martin Bentham, home affairs editor
:00:25. > :00:34.We will go through the review in a moment. Let's look at the front
:00:35. > :00:37.pages. The Daily Telegraph claims
:00:38. > :00:39.that Royal Mail staff, leaving Theresa May facing pressure
:00:40. > :00:45.over "industrial chaos." The paper also notes Andy Murray's
:00:46. > :00:50.third Sports Personality victory. The Guardian also
:00:51. > :00:53.celebrates Murray's win, but focuses on claims
:00:54. > :00:57.that the justice secretary had prior warning ahead of the riot at HMP
:00:58. > :01:02.Birmingham on Friday. The Metro leads with
:01:03. > :01:04.former Chancellor George Osborne's verdict that his warnings
:01:05. > :01:06.about the UK being poorer Brexit also dominates
:01:07. > :01:13.the Financial Times, but the paper focuses on fears
:01:14. > :01:16.about exit talks being delayed will mean banks
:01:17. > :01:21.leaving the UK for abroad. And the Daily Mail
:01:22. > :01:24.leads with the claim that millions of pounds of UK aid money has been
:01:25. > :01:39.used to fund a talk show Let's begin. Nice to see you both.
:01:40. > :01:46.We're going to start with the Daily Telegraph, the postman. Misery for
:01:47. > :01:54.commuters at Christmas is one thing, but kids now, this is the threat and
:01:55. > :02:03.it is very much could, might, maybe. Royal Mail staff may go on strike to
:02:04. > :02:07.add to the misery and prevent cards and presents being delivered in time
:02:08. > :02:13.for Christmas. This is part of the backdrop of the wider sense of
:02:14. > :02:20.industrial disputes in a variety of industries. Southern Rail, that has
:02:21. > :02:26.gone on and has been the main focus but there is the stoppage for the
:02:27. > :02:33.British Airways cabin crew. And a sector of the Tory party, calling
:02:34. > :02:38.for Theresa May to act, calling on her to think about imposing
:02:39. > :02:41.legislation to prevent strike action in a number of industries. This
:02:42. > :02:48.story suggests not that they will strike, the Royal Mail workers, but
:02:49. > :02:54.they will not cross the picket line, so they won't be able to collect the
:02:55. > :02:56.mail that the striking post office workers are stopping them from
:02:57. > :03:02.getting by having picket line. Slightly different but if it
:03:03. > :03:04.happened the effect would be pretty catastrophic and a lot of people not
:03:05. > :03:12.getting their presence and cards in time. It plays into the bigger
:03:13. > :03:17.issue. A wider issue. Industrial play-offs for Theresa May. There is
:03:18. > :03:20.a quote from David Mellor saying that the description of Theresa May
:03:21. > :03:24.as the new Margaret Thatcher is as wide of the mark as it could be,
:03:25. > :03:28.given that Thatcher is seen as someone who got on top of the
:03:29. > :03:32.unions. On the other hand she faced a lot of industrial action before
:03:33. > :03:39.she did that and those laws that she passed are still in place and have
:03:40. > :03:43.been strengthened. The Southern Rail dispute, there has been a vote, it
:03:44. > :03:46.has gone in favour and it is difficult for the government to take
:03:47. > :03:53.the kind of action that some people in the Tory party are saying, to
:03:54. > :03:56.react to every strike by passing tougher legislation. The consolation
:03:57. > :03:59.is that many of us will be buying presents online and a lot of
:04:00. > :04:05.presence don't go through the Royal Mail, which is why they have
:04:06. > :04:10.suffered so much. So children might get their presence this year!
:04:11. > :04:18.Imaging the chaos otherwise, would you want to deal with your kids? Of
:04:19. > :04:22.course it is Santa, not the Royal Mail! Some of those companies
:04:23. > :04:29.haven't been very efficient, a few stories about them. Staying with the
:04:30. > :04:35.Daily Telegraph, patients being turned away from A, it says. Not
:04:36. > :04:42.very cheerful front page, is it? Strikes and then you've got this
:04:43. > :04:46.story, talking about papers to the board of NHS England. Not as bad as
:04:47. > :04:51.it sounds, although the NHS faces enormous pressure. Basically saying
:04:52. > :04:56.that there are some hospitals in the country that have triage system is
:04:57. > :05:00.where innocence, people who turn up and don't need A treatment are
:05:01. > :05:05.immediately seen by doctors and nurses and then they are sent away
:05:06. > :05:10.to be dealt with at a lower level. Some hospitals already do that. It
:05:11. > :05:14.says that GPs and nurses should be at the front doors to turn away the
:05:15. > :05:19.less serious people. In a sense that already happens. The NHS board have
:05:20. > :05:23.been told that some hospitals who don't do this kind of triage, to
:05:24. > :05:27.make sure that the people who need emergency treatment get it... Those
:05:28. > :05:33.that don't have the practice should be doing it. Similar with moving
:05:34. > :05:38.people out of beds into other accommodation settings, that
:05:39. > :05:43.should... That happens in some hospitals efficiently and in others
:05:44. > :05:46.it doesn't. When people should move is another issue and sometimes
:05:47. > :05:54.people are shot out to soon. We hear this story every year. It is the
:05:55. > :05:58.issue of what services will be open, some will be closed at this time of
:05:59. > :06:06.year, they aren't going to be open at night. During the day it is a
:06:07. > :06:11.question. There are more silly and minor issues that people may have
:06:12. > :06:15.after a glass of sherry. It is the staffing levels and everything else.
:06:16. > :06:20.Clearly the NHS is under pressure for all sorts of reasons, rising
:06:21. > :06:26.demand for GPs and A services. This is saying that the usual winter
:06:27. > :06:30.problems, prepare for them by doing these things. It doesn't alter the
:06:31. > :06:38.underlying demands and pressures that the NHS faces. It is saying,
:06:39. > :06:46.get ready. Turning to the Financial Times, it is Brexit. Oh, really? The
:06:47. > :06:51.latest little... Liam Fox talking about we might be part of a customs
:06:52. > :06:56.union, seems to be a softening of their stance. This is the potential
:06:57. > :07:04.delay in Brexit talks that could see some of the banks looking to shift
:07:05. > :07:09.from London into the Eurozone. This is clearly a threat from the banks,
:07:10. > :07:15.trying to get a deal, they want to put a brake on the harder Brexit.
:07:16. > :07:21.These games will be played for most of the next couple of years. This
:07:22. > :07:24.story is a bit thin, saying that the EU would like to finalise the
:07:25. > :07:31.divorce papers so to speak first, which we knew, and they want to get
:07:32. > :07:37.this 50, 60 billion agreed that we are going to pay, honouring existing
:07:38. > :07:41.commitments and after that they will go on to negotiating things like
:07:42. > :07:47.trade arrangements and so on. Because that will take time to get
:07:48. > :07:51.to that point... This passport issued, all of the banks would like
:07:52. > :07:59.to operate basically as they do now. Is that fair of them to need it so
:08:00. > :08:03.early on? We haven't even got the... We have the Supreme Court hearing,
:08:04. > :08:07.the result in the New Year. Should they be asking so early on? Lloyd's
:08:08. > :08:14.of London have already said they are prepping. There is a difference, any
:08:15. > :08:17.loss of jobs in any business, the banking industry, it is very
:08:18. > :08:22.important to the country and its economy so we don't want to seek
:08:23. > :08:28.lots of business is going to Europe -- we don't want to see. Many people
:08:29. > :08:32.think that if it shifts out of London it is as likely to shift to
:08:33. > :08:36.New York, partly for reasons of employment legislation and so on.
:08:37. > :08:42.Not helpful to the financial sector in general. Some people might move
:08:43. > :08:50.parts of their operations to certain European jurisdictions, to remain
:08:51. > :08:56.part of the EU. There is a lot to play for here still. They are
:08:57. > :09:00.positioning, because there's a sense of uncertainty about the shape of
:09:01. > :09:06.the negotiations, people are trying to the armlock on all sides and you
:09:07. > :09:09.can understand why. These are commercial entities and they sense a
:09:10. > :09:12.potential problem, opportunity and they are trying to do the best they
:09:13. > :09:17.can to manoeuvre things in their direction. They will until there is
:09:18. > :09:23.certainty where we are going. This idea that we must agree the divorce
:09:24. > :09:27.settlement before agreeing anything else, of course they want the money
:09:28. > :09:32.from us so I'm not sure that we'll just agree to it if they aren't
:09:33. > :09:36.playing ball in everything else. We can run parallel negotiations which
:09:37. > :09:39.is what our government wants to do. We should honour commitments but I
:09:40. > :09:45.don't think we need to sign until we have a sense of progress and
:09:46. > :09:50.cooperation. We are going to turn to the Guardian and Andy Murray. Good
:09:51. > :09:59.old Andy. Topping off a fabulous year. Outstanding. Nailed on winner
:10:00. > :10:04.always going to win. Not for his victory this time. His tremendous
:10:05. > :10:08.success this year is a bit of a surprise because he's been around
:10:09. > :10:12.for a long time and in a sense you felt that they few years ago his
:10:13. > :10:17.time had been, he hadn't quite done it, he had performed well. Brilliant
:10:18. > :10:23.but he was in the area of Nadal and Djokovic and Federer and he was seen
:10:24. > :10:28.as slightly below their level. In any other era he would have been the
:10:29. > :10:35.best. And the second half of this year, he's been magnificent, his
:10:36. > :10:39.performance at Wimbledon was fantastic and ending the year as
:10:40. > :10:46.number one, dethroning Djokovic was by Bilic. Third time in a row that
:10:47. > :10:55.he's won this award and rightly so. People like Andy Murray! They
:10:56. > :10:59.didn't. He has given of himself in a way that he didn't, he used to beat
:11:00. > :11:04.Kevin the teenager but now he has developed and grown up and
:11:05. > :11:08.fatherhood has softened him. Everyone really likes him. I think
:11:09. > :11:15.he's a genuinely nice bloke, he comes across that way and people
:11:16. > :11:20.relate to him in a way they didn't before, he was a bit surly and
:11:21. > :11:26.snarky. He is genuinely warm and also very good at tennis and in a
:11:27. > :11:29.fantastic sporting year for the country, apart from the football, he
:11:30. > :11:38.has been the standout character. That's your fault! I'm always
:11:39. > :11:45.responsible. Brilliant performance. He has befriended his Olympic title,
:11:46. > :11:51.Wimbledon and so on. -- he has defended. He plays entertaining
:11:52. > :11:54.tennis, he isn't reliant on the big serves. He has power but he also has
:11:55. > :11:57.finessed, at his best he is beautiful to watch. He makes you
:11:58. > :12:04.suffer when you're watching him sometimes! He is British, Scottish
:12:05. > :12:10.but British as well and that is part of being British. You wouldn't want
:12:11. > :12:15.it, would you, you must have some pain before you get the real
:12:16. > :12:19.pleasure. Surprising that Mo Farah wasn't in the top three, to be
:12:20. > :12:26.honest, with his double double. He just missed out. It was a huge win
:12:27. > :12:33.for Murray but the rest of them were some way below. Nick Skelton. In
:12:34. > :12:40.third. At 56, not a young man and that was incredible. It showed the
:12:41. > :12:45.Olympics, Kate Richardson was quite high up. A sense that the Olympics
:12:46. > :12:50.is an all-encompassing thing that people from nowhere can become
:12:51. > :12:57.propelled into the front. And the Brownlees, that act of
:12:58. > :12:59.self-sacrifice. Shows what matters. It was really warming,
:13:00. > :13:06.heart-warming, this is what family is all about. Obviously the Brownlee
:13:07. > :13:12.brothers have done tremendously well, both of them, but also they
:13:13. > :13:20.asked by the less... Mo Farah has had Jimenez glory. Maybe a sense
:13:21. > :13:25.that Nick Skelton and the Brownlees is in keeping -- tremendous victory.
:13:26. > :13:31.Very quickly, do you have your Christmas jumpers? Are you wearing
:13:32. > :13:38.them? He got one. No, I haven't! He said he had a really good one. The
:13:39. > :13:42.front of the Daily Telegraph, asking what Colin Firth's Christmas jumper
:13:43. > :13:48.did to land us a pub ban. What's the story? Pubs and restaurants, it
:13:49. > :13:55.seems to be in Yorkshire, actually. There you go! Apparently saying
:13:56. > :13:59.people who are wearing them are too boisterous, creating a nuisance and
:14:00. > :14:03.so they are keeping them out. Sounds like my husband, he's from
:14:04. > :14:10.Yorkshire. People are delicate, on the way here I was accosted.
:14:11. > :14:21.Horrible, no, stop it! We need a tweet of both of you in your
:14:22. > :14:23.jumpers. No! Fluffy, is it? LAUGHTER Is wonderful, thank you very much.
:14:24. > :14:25.That's it for the papers for the moment.
:14:26. > :14:27.We'll be back at 11.30 for Round Two.
:14:28. > :14:33.for that, all the front pages are online on the BBC News website
:14:34. > :14:35.where you can read a detailed review of the papers,
:14:36. > :14:38.seven days a week at bbc.co.uk/papers.
:14:39. > :14:58.A man is adrift after a storm at sea.
