:00:15. > :00:17.Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be
:00:18. > :00:21.With me are journalist and broadcaster Rachel Shabi,
:00:22. > :00:22.and deputy political editor at the Telegraph,
:00:23. > :00:29.Tomorrow's front pages: The Metro leads with news that the British
:00:30. > :00:32.public have helped raise more than ?75,000 for the family
:00:33. > :00:36.of the murdered Polish lorry driver whose vehicle was hijacked and used
:00:37. > :00:41.The Times says the Queen is apparently disappointed
:00:42. > :00:44.with Theresa May, after the PM declined to share plans for Brexit
:00:45. > :00:52.The Financial Times says China has warned Donald Trump that
:00:53. > :00:54.co-operation is the only way forward, after the US
:00:55. > :00:58.President-elect appointed a China hawk to run a new White House
:00:59. > :01:02.The Daily Telegraph highlights claims that some of Britain's
:01:03. > :01:04.leading universities are becoming no-go zones for Jewish students,
:01:05. > :01:10.The Daily Mirror leads with the story of shoppers diving
:01:11. > :01:15.for cover, as e-cigarette batteries blow up inches from a pram.
:01:16. > :01:18.The Guardian says violent and abusive men are being allowed
:01:19. > :01:19.to confront and cross-examine their former partners
:01:20. > :01:26.And the Daily Express warns that the UK faces violent Christmas
:01:27. > :01:38.storms, with 90 mph gales and torrential rain.
:01:39. > :01:45.The story of the week has been the attack on the Christmas market in
:01:46. > :01:49.Berlin. We will start with the times. German spies knew that the
:01:50. > :01:54.suspect had talked of a suicide attack. So much is coming out about
:01:55. > :01:59.this man, the chief suspect in this appalling atrocity. Yes, Anis
:02:00. > :02:03.Amri... When you get these horrific events there is always this clamour
:02:04. > :02:06.to try and find answers about why it wasn't stopped and build better
:02:07. > :02:10.protections for the future. There are a string of quite worrying
:02:11. > :02:14.snippets which are coming out about what the intelligence services in
:02:15. > :02:18.Germany knew about the lead suspect. The Times brings out a couple of
:02:19. > :02:23.them tomorrow. This bloke had talked about a suicide mission, the
:02:24. > :02:27.security services had talked about him saying that maybe I will go on a
:02:28. > :02:31.suicide mission but they dismiss them because of suggestions were too
:02:32. > :02:34.vague and they didn't think they were that credible. He was also seen
:02:35. > :02:38.visiting a mosque for the attack which was linked to Islamist. And
:02:39. > :02:43.the third debt which is still worrying given the person is on the
:02:44. > :02:48.run, is that footage of him has emerged going to a mosque close to
:02:49. > :02:52.the Christmas market. Taken together it does raise questions about why he
:02:53. > :02:57.wasn't apprehended. Our security correspondent Frank Gardner pointed
:02:58. > :03:01.out that the problem is that if you were to keep tabs on everyone with
:03:02. > :03:06.links to Islamist group or said something vaguely dodgy than you
:03:07. > :03:11.would be tying up so many people, at an enormous cost, that you just
:03:12. > :03:14.can't do it. You do have to prioritise. And the fact that this
:03:15. > :03:18.man seemed to be grandstanding, didn't really seem to have a
:03:19. > :03:22.definite plan, in terms of a terror attack, made the German authorities
:03:23. > :03:26.think he is not someone we should continue to pursue. I think that
:03:27. > :03:30.sounds right. It is not just that you would be chewing up resources,
:03:31. > :03:33.it is that you would actually be requiring a more powers to do those
:03:34. > :03:39.things. And that is always going to be a balance, whether you think we
:03:40. > :03:43.should give up more powers in the fight against terrorism. And of
:03:44. > :03:47.course we are all terrified, and this was a horrific attack, and we
:03:48. > :03:50.would all like there to be answers. But it is interesting, this whole
:03:51. > :03:58.thing of lorry attacks, you can Paratoo a country like Israel, which
:03:59. > :04:02.has much more surveillance. -- you compare it to. At levels which other
:04:03. > :04:07.countries would not be comfortable with, a higher level of security, a
:04:08. > :04:11.level that we might not be OK with. But it also can't deal with these
:04:12. > :04:17.random lorry attacks. We are dealing with something quite different, and
:04:18. > :04:20.it is not necessarily that our security and police services are
:04:21. > :04:25.doing anything wrong. It might actually be that they are doing all
:04:26. > :04:30.they can. The changing nature of the threat is something that is
:04:31. > :04:34.certainly keeping everyone on their toes, and everyone guessing. If
:04:35. > :04:43.there is an upside to this horrible story, then perhaps it is this. Go
:04:44. > :04:48.fund the Berlin hero, British cash floods in for a Polish trucker's
:04:49. > :04:54.widow. The Polish trucker whose truck was essentially hijacked in
:04:55. > :04:58.this awful terror attack in Berlin, and who put up a tremendous
:04:59. > :05:02.struggle, it sounds like, to try and stop this attack from happening, or
:05:03. > :05:07.to try and make it less brutal than it actually was, try and steer it of
:05:08. > :05:15.course, it sounds like he really put up a tremendous fight to try and do
:05:16. > :05:20.something, lost his life. And since then, a lot of donors have answered
:05:21. > :05:28.a call from Dave Duncan, who put up a crowd funding for this Polish
:05:29. > :05:34.man's wife, and his widow, and his teenage son. They have managed to
:05:35. > :05:40.raise ?75,000 so far, which is wonderful and heartening, obviously,
:05:41. > :05:43.at an awful time. Just before Christmas, as well, to lose the
:05:44. > :05:52.breadwinner, this is something that might help a little bit. But also
:05:53. > :05:57.shows, I think, just the level of violence that must have existed
:05:58. > :06:01.inside that cab, as he tried to wrestle with this guy, who was
:06:02. > :06:08.aiming for this Christmas market. And this poor man, this Polish
:06:09. > :06:13.driver, tried to stop the carnage that was about to unfold. He got an
:06:14. > :06:18.indication of what was happening, and fought and gave his life to try
:06:19. > :06:21.and stop it, and an unimaginable tragedy for his wife and teenage
:06:22. > :06:26.son. You just hope this outpouring of kindness and generosity, from the
:06:27. > :06:32.Brits and others, hopefully sends a message. Indeed, all right. The
:06:33. > :06:37.front page of the Telegraph. Now clearly, salt is something that Mr
:06:38. > :06:45.Putin and Mr Trump only put on their chips. It is terrifying. It is
:06:46. > :06:49.absolutely terrifying. Just to explain Salt, the strategic Arms
:06:50. > :06:55.Limitation Treaty, it is what Reagan and Gorbachev used to bring down
:06:56. > :06:58.their stockpile of weapons. Now we have these two leaders talking about
:06:59. > :07:02.increasing their stock piles of weapons. Can you imagine a more
:07:03. > :07:06.powerful tweet than one which has overturned 30 years of American and
:07:07. > :07:11.Russian foreign policy? It is a scary prospect. Since the end of the
:07:12. > :07:16.Cold War there has been a systematic descaling of nuclear arsenals across
:07:17. > :07:26.the world, both in America and the USSR, dropping down. And then within
:07:27. > :07:29.the space of a couple of hours you have Putin saying we are thinking
:07:30. > :07:33.about strengthening the nuclear potential of our strategic nuclear
:07:34. > :07:39.forces and then Donald Trump, on Twitter, how else, says he will
:07:40. > :07:41.greatly expanded nuclear capability. It is a genuinely terrifying
:07:42. > :07:46.prospect that these two nations would begin to get into that. But
:07:47. > :07:51.the argument goes, some are suggesting, that the upside of this,
:07:52. > :07:57.if there is an upside, that Donald Trump is actually talking to Iran
:07:58. > :08:04.and North Korea. Yes. So we are now in a situation where the
:08:05. > :08:09.President-elect's quite significant communications about quite
:08:10. > :08:15.significant issues via the medium of Twitter are then being decoded by
:08:16. > :08:20.his team. His team have to try and understand what the hell he is on
:08:21. > :08:23.about. They are saying that you know what, this is actually a deep
:08:24. > :08:32.proliferation statement. I can see how you might have missed that, but
:08:33. > :08:39.that is what it was -- de- proliferation. I think we need that
:08:40. > :08:44.clarity. I am not sure that would bring clarity. Maybe it wouldn't.
:08:45. > :08:50.That is part of the problem. Some of these stories are beginning with
:08:51. > :08:54.Donald Trump has tweeted again, XYZ, and fundamentally, yes, there is an
:08:55. > :08:59.issue with what he is saying, for some people, but it is the manner in
:09:00. > :09:02.which he is doing it which is quite concerning. There was a quote from
:09:03. > :09:06.Malcolm Rifkind, the former Foreign Secretary, talking about British
:09:07. > :09:10.foreign secretaries, where he said they are either dull or they are
:09:11. > :09:17.dangerous. He went on to say that Doris Johnson isn't dull. The same
:09:18. > :09:22.applies to American diplomacy -- Boris Johnson. Words matter when you
:09:23. > :09:32.are in an administration at that level. Going back to the times, the
:09:33. > :09:38.Queen frustrated with Theresa May over Brexit secrecy. It seems that
:09:39. > :09:43.Theresa May's reluctance to divulge any kind of specifics about Brexit
:09:44. > :09:47.have disappointed not just so many of us, but have gone all the way up
:09:48. > :09:52.to disappointing the Queen. According to this report, the Queen
:09:53. > :09:58.and the Duke were quite looking forward, when Theresa May came to
:09:59. > :10:02.Balmoral a couple of months after coming into power, they were quite
:10:03. > :10:06.looking forward to perhaps a little bit of a secret exchange of
:10:07. > :10:10.information. But unfortunately all they got was what the rest of us are
:10:11. > :10:22.getting, which is that Brexit means Brexit, Marm. Does this mean that
:10:23. > :10:27.she was holding back, Theresa May, or that she doesn't have anything to
:10:28. > :10:32.say? There is political bite to the story which will hurt Number Ten.
:10:33. > :10:35.There is a genuine frustration building about the lack of
:10:36. > :10:39.information. The referendum was in June, and we are about to have
:10:40. > :10:42.January and a couple of months, and there appears to be a frustration
:10:43. > :10:46.building about not enough details about where we are heading imagine.
:10:47. > :10:50.Is that because she is being scrupulously careful, before making
:10:51. > :10:55.any public statement, or is it, as critics say, they are beginning to
:10:56. > :10:59.just be totally... Realise the scale of this negotiation process? But if
:11:00. > :11:02.even the Queen is reportedly getting frustrated with the lack of
:11:03. > :11:05.information, then it does get to the point when this is becoming a
:11:06. > :11:10.running narrative. Building up of steam, isn't it? A disturbing story
:11:11. > :11:14.on the front of the Guardian. The secret abuse of women in the Family
:11:15. > :11:18.Court. Violent former partners are allowed to take part in cross
:11:19. > :11:23.examinations. This is a horrifying story about family courts where
:11:24. > :11:27.apparently, because of cuts to legal aid, men and women are now
:11:28. > :11:33.representing themselves more in these courts, which has created
:11:34. > :11:39.situations where people who have been abusive to women are then
:11:40. > :11:48.allowed to cross examine them in court, sometimes the hours. A lawyer
:11:49. > :11:51.for the south-east who deals with these issues says he has seen this
:11:52. > :11:57.happen in hundreds of cases. He has told the Guardian, and he is urging
:11:58. > :12:05.that even if it means putting a student liar in the situation, --
:12:06. > :12:09.student lawyer in the situation, even if that is what it takes to
:12:10. > :12:12.stop these women being cross-examined by sometimes violent
:12:13. > :12:16.and abusive partners, just trying to figure out a way where this duration
:12:17. > :12:20.doesn't happen, because it is obviously horrific and traumatising.
:12:21. > :12:24.It is the adversarial system that we have, isn't it? The example they
:12:25. > :12:28.give is really quite horrific. In one case a woman was cross-examined
:12:29. > :12:32.for hours by her ex-husband despite him being the subject of restraining
:12:33. > :12:37.order. So she has gone to the court and got protection from this bloke,
:12:38. > :12:41.and now she is being... Courts are undermining the protections being
:12:42. > :12:45.put in place. Presumably people are allowed to represent themselves, but
:12:46. > :12:51.do you want to totally withdraw that as a right? Is clearly one of those
:12:52. > :12:55.terrible side-effects. And finally, e-cigarette AB horror. Shoppers
:12:56. > :13:03.dived full horror as e-cigarette batteries blow up, in a guy's
:13:04. > :13:08.pocket. Our jaws dropped at this front page, and the video is just as
:13:09. > :13:11.scary. It is out of nowhere and the middle of a supermarket, it bursts
:13:12. > :13:17.in his pocket, and having read a little further down, he was actually
:13:18. > :13:23.carrying a battery, a spare battery, that goes into one of these vaping
:13:24. > :13:27.cigarettes, and that came into contact with something metal. It
:13:28. > :13:32.wasn't the e-cigarette itself, but the spare battery. These tiny
:13:33. > :13:35.lithium batteries, they are incredibly powerful. We saw those
:13:36. > :13:42.phones blowing up and South Korea. And that close to a pram. That is
:13:43. > :13:47.the terrifying thing, it is such an EMS. Many, many thanks to you for
:13:48. > :13:48.coming in and looking at some of the stories behind the headlines.
:13:49. > :13:59.This is my last Papers for this year, so a Merry Christmas to you
:14:00. > :14:10.and happy New Year. Coming up now, it is Sportsday.
:14:11. > :14:14.Hi everyone, you're watching Sport Today,
