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