:00:15. > :00:18.Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be

:00:19. > :00:22.With me are Miranda Green from the FT and Christopher Hope,

:00:23. > :00:24.who's Chief political correspondent at the Daily Telegraph.

:00:25. > :00:26.Tomorrow's front pages, starting with -

:00:27. > :00:29.The Daily Mirror says the "Truck killer could strike again".

:00:30. > :00:32.It quotes a source in the German police as saying the killer

:00:33. > :00:38.The Telegraph says there's a manhunt in Berlin and across Europe

:00:39. > :00:42.after the police admitted they'd arrested the wrong man.

:00:43. > :00:45.The Times leads on the manhunt for the killer too.

:00:46. > :00:48.It says the attack was the worst terrorist attack on German

:00:49. > :00:54.The Metro recounts the death of the lorry's legitimate driver,

:00:55. > :00:56.as he fought to try to stop the hijacker

:00:57. > :01:04.The 'i' says Europe is on a Christmas terror alert.

:01:05. > :01:07.It says British lorry drivers have been ordered to keep their cabs

:01:08. > :01:11.The Mail says "so much for peace", as armed police guard the nativity

:01:12. > :01:15.The Express leads on a different story.

:01:16. > :01:18.It says Theresa May has refused to guarantee a vote in parliament

:01:19. > :01:21.on the terms of Britain's exit from the European Union.

:01:22. > :01:26.The paper says MPs won't be able to block Brexit.

:01:27. > :01:39.The Guardian. I know it is difficult political leaning to your own paper.

:01:40. > :01:44.I hope you can deal with it. The hunt for the truck attacker

:01:45. > :01:52.continues as the far right puts blame on Merkel. Paying tribute to

:01:53. > :01:57.those who died. The pressure really piling up on her just months before

:01:58. > :02:01.her election. A grieving chancellor there. Her face shows all the weight

:02:02. > :02:07.and the strain on trying to deal with the tragedy. Not clear when it

:02:08. > :02:18.was taken because most of the day we thought that the sky they arrested

:02:19. > :02:23.-- this guy, it wasn't the right person. That would be difficult for

:02:24. > :02:27.her. You can argue that she can't be blamed for all the crimes some of

:02:28. > :02:31.them will commit because they will be criminals within any cohort of

:02:32. > :02:39.the population that it is a terrific photo used in many papers including

:02:40. > :02:48.our own, the Telegraph. The Guardian makes the point that there is no

:02:49. > :03:04.evidence that they know it was inspired by Isis. The language used

:03:05. > :03:08.is similar. They want any good propaganda from their point of view

:03:09. > :03:12.as possible. They are going to jump on this even if it's got nothing to

:03:13. > :03:18.do with them. S not only that. The interesting thing about choosing to

:03:19. > :03:23.a chap Germany -- attack Germany, they can't blame it on German

:03:24. > :03:29.foreign policy. Usually when there is a terrorist out break in the

:03:30. > :03:32.West, like in France, they can say that this is an offence for

:03:33. > :03:41.intervention in the middle leaves. -- revenge. Germany is a pacifist

:03:42. > :03:46.nation, in recent history. You can't blame the lazy link between foreign

:03:47. > :03:52.policy and a terrorist attack. A link can be made potentially by

:03:53. > :03:57.Angela Merkel's political opponents with her policy on letting all the

:03:58. > :04:03.refugees into Germany over the last 18 months. They will be capitalising

:04:04. > :04:07.on that even if the perpetrator of this attack turns out not to have

:04:08. > :04:11.been a refugee himself because that's the environment in which we

:04:12. > :04:19.are. It's the run-up to a general election and she will be personally

:04:20. > :04:25.blamed. You are trying to prescribe a logical thing on IS. As to why

:04:26. > :04:35.they attack people. They just attack people. Including Muslims. But they

:04:36. > :04:40.like division. There is often a lazy link made between Western foreign

:04:41. > :04:46.policy. That is not available in this case. Absolutely right. The

:04:47. > :04:55.Metro headline. Interesting angle they are taking. He fought to the

:04:56. > :05:04.end. This is the lorry driver that was found shot dead and attacked in

:05:05. > :05:09.the lorry. His face is loaded and battered as though he was in a fight

:05:10. > :05:16.with somebody. Interesting how the papers are treating this story. As

:05:17. > :05:25.we go through the papers, we see them winning it back home. We are

:05:26. > :05:29.still focusing on the Metro. He fought to the end. What can you say?

:05:30. > :05:36.It looks like he was held captive while the lorry drove towards the

:05:37. > :05:43.market. And then found with one shot wounds as well. -- gunshot. British

:05:44. > :05:48.lorry drivers are on high alert and have been advised they have to be

:05:49. > :05:55.careful and keep their cab doors locked and so forth. In this German

:05:56. > :06:03.attack, a truck was hijacked. Earlier in the year we also saw the

:06:04. > :06:12.horrendous truck ploughing through the crowds in Meese on the most

:06:13. > :06:19.exciting day of the French national calendar -- Nice. Bastille Day. Now

:06:20. > :06:24.they have been ordered to keep their cab doors locked at all times, lorry

:06:25. > :06:40.drivers. All the papers covering it differently. It is the fear of

:06:41. > :06:44.copycat violence. Once a method for mayhem has been exploited by one

:06:45. > :06:51.terrorist, particularly if it is a lone wolf attack that is later

:06:52. > :06:57.claimed by Isis, you're planting the seeds in other peoplesheads. A

:06:58. > :07:04.frightening time to be a lorry driver. You are a hijacked target

:07:05. > :07:11.now. Around Europe, Christmas terror alert. All governments across Europe

:07:12. > :07:19.at checking over their policies when it comes to terror alerts. The one

:07:20. > :07:28.in Britain is still severe which means there is a strong likelihood

:07:29. > :07:42.of a terror attack. Lorries are a new weapon and that is why they are

:07:43. > :07:49.saying to lock your doors. The front page of the Daily Mail. Machine-gun

:07:50. > :08:04.cops guard Canterbury's connectivity scene. Peace and goodwill to all

:08:05. > :08:10.men. People representing the figures from the nativity scene. Awful to

:08:11. > :08:18.have to see them be protected so clearly. It brings it right home to

:08:19. > :08:23.the season. As the papers suggest is, so much for peace and goodwill.

:08:24. > :08:29.It takes the spirit of Christmas away. Having said that, societies

:08:30. > :08:34.are around Europe have got to do something in order to protect

:08:35. > :08:38.citizens. Absolutely and where do you strike the right balance?

:08:39. > :08:43.Increasing security so that citizens feel safe and cracking down on

:08:44. > :08:47.anything that is fun that makes a free societies in the West. Great

:08:48. > :08:51.places to live because there is a compulsion to say we will carry on

:08:52. > :08:54.and enjoy ourselves in the way we think is right in Western

:08:55. > :09:00.democracies. There is also a line in this mail story where they have gone

:09:01. > :09:08.big on the Canterbury nativity being under guard. They will take a new

:09:09. > :09:11.precautions everywhere. Clearly, anything where crowds gather is

:09:12. > :09:16.going to have to be seen as a potential vulnerable points now

:09:17. > :09:19.which will lead to different levels of policing probably in different

:09:20. > :09:25.security protocols which is only sensible. Islamic State have made it

:09:26. > :09:32.clear to their followers over the world that they should be doing

:09:33. > :09:38.whatever they can to attack targets to show that they are true members

:09:39. > :09:43.of the caliphate. That means throwing rocks, using a knife,

:09:44. > :09:48.pushing people over, using vehicles, anything. Absolutely anything.

:09:49. > :09:52.You're right, Miranda, it's how societies are just to that reality.

:09:53. > :09:59.There is a danger around every single corner. At the same time

:10:00. > :10:11.allowing Asprey society to be free -- allowing a free society.

:10:12. > :10:17.Conundrum. There is a bit on the Berlin lorry attack here as well on

:10:18. > :10:25.the Daily Express. But why MPs would be able to block Brexit. The Supreme

:10:26. > :10:32.Court will have something to say. Not just yet. We have got the

:10:33. > :10:35.Supreme Court hearing which will be in the first or second week of

:10:36. > :10:40.January and they will decide whether MPs get a vote. It is all about

:10:41. > :10:47.deciding, the High Court has ruled about when Brexit happens and when

:10:48. > :10:52.we trigger Article 50. What they are talking about here is the reason

:10:53. > :10:59.they gave evidence today. MPs will be able to block Brexit. That is her

:11:00. > :11:04.opinion. If the Supreme Court finds otherwise, they will have to suck it

:11:05. > :11:13.up. She didn't give that much away, though, did she? She never does.

:11:14. > :11:20.What do you call her? The Sphinx. Apparently her favourite historical

:11:21. > :11:28.figure is Elizabeth one. She was quite good at constructive ambiguity

:11:29. > :11:34.and not letting your intentions be known. That seems to be her strategy

:11:35. > :11:38.on Brexit and has critics over that strategy but today was another

:11:39. > :11:42.occasion she tried to give us little away as possible and try to be as

:11:43. > :11:47.dull as possible to avoid any headlines. The Daily Express, as you

:11:48. > :11:51.rightly pointed out, has campaigned for Britain to leave the EU. Even

:11:52. > :11:56.her giving a little bit away hasn't stopped them splashing with it on a

:11:57. > :12:04.day when all other papers have gone with the tragedy on Berlin. That is

:12:05. > :12:24.fair enough for them. That's its crusade. The Telegraph. She is

:12:25. > :12:31.slowing down a little bit. The Queen has handed over some of her

:12:32. > :12:38.responsibilities. Of course, she has many. So she has handed over a few.

:12:39. > :12:44.Some of the papers have shown a photograph of her with Prince

:12:45. > :12:56.Charles at leaning over her in a rather protective way. What she

:12:57. > :13:01.won't do is hand over the crown. She has made that clear. The Duchess of

:13:02. > :13:07.Cambridge is a big tennis fan so she has grasped with great speed

:13:08. > :13:16.Wimbledon and passports corresponded was saying earlier that tennis

:13:17. > :13:24.didn't find the Queen. A great gig for Kate, though. That's a good one

:13:25. > :13:35.to get, Wimbledon. Bail us want to be more busy. -- they always want to

:13:36. > :13:43.be more busy. Finally the times. Dick van Dyke to start in Mary

:13:44. > :13:53.Poppins Returns. -- Star. He is 94 now. Sorry, 91. He is going to make

:13:54. > :14:10.a sequel of Mary Poppins. Will his accent be any worse? That's the key

:14:11. > :14:15.question. Cor blimey, guvna. We have the Queen and Dick Van Dyke refusing

:14:16. > :14:25.to retire. He says he keeps fit in his 90s just out of pure defiance.

:14:26. > :14:30.He refuses to go. I think he would be great in Mary Poppins. Cor

:14:31. > :14:39.blimey. Many thanks to you guys. Don't forget all the front pages
