:00:00. > :00:00.movies since then, but really made her mark as a writer. For the

:00:00. > :00:17.moment, thank you very much, with the latest from Los Angeles.

:00:18. > :00:22.Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will bring us

:00:23. > :00:28.tomorrow, with as is the political commentator, James Miller, who

:00:29. > :00:34.promised a glitter appeared on Twitter, but has not delivered. And

:00:35. > :00:38.a journalist, Matthew Green, who is helpfully wearing a colour

:00:39. > :00:48.appropriate tie. Nice to have you both. Front pages, the headline in

:00:49. > :00:51.the i is, Isis killer shot dead by rookie. The European open border

:00:52. > :00:54.policy being blamed for the suspect fleeing 1000 miles across the

:00:55. > :00:57.country is, the Telegraph also leads that story saying that

:00:58. > :01:01.counterterrorism experts are warning that open borders put security at

:01:02. > :01:04.risk, the Guardian headline, end of the manhunt, it says that the

:01:05. > :01:11.Moroccan authorities had warned Germany about the wanted man, the

:01:12. > :01:16.Times, a picture of the body of the wanted man, under a blanket in a

:01:17. > :01:19.Milan street, it also carries the story of a banking terrorist

:01:20. > :01:22.blacklist which apparently is so useless it includes a three-year-old

:01:23. > :01:27.member of the Royal family. The Daily Mail has advice for any but

:01:28. > :01:31.unwell over the festive season, pushed by Christmas. The paper says

:01:32. > :01:36.that health chiefs have prescribed self isolation to keep the pressure

:01:37. > :01:40.off casualty units, and the daily Mirror, chocolate Santas could kill.

:01:41. > :01:46.It reports that the Co-op has withdrawn them from their shelves at

:01:47. > :01:53.button batteries were found inside. A bit of festive cheer. Let's make a

:01:54. > :01:58.start with the story but so many papers are leading on. This man, the

:01:59. > :02:03.Tunisian, who was shot dead, after this routine check in Milan, he was

:02:04. > :02:07.the man wanted in connection with the attack in Berlin at the

:02:08. > :02:13.Christmas market, the headline in the i, Isis killer shot dead by

:02:14. > :02:17.rookie, setting out some of the main points of the story. The benefit of

:02:18. > :02:21.this is it straight to the point, it does not have to try to find a new

:02:22. > :02:25.angle, the fellow who, it certainly seems to be him, they have

:02:26. > :02:28.fingerprint evidence from the cabin of the truck crashed into this

:02:29. > :02:36.Christmas market in Berlin on Monday, they seem to have got it in

:02:37. > :02:41.Milan, and yet, essentially, the policeman said, are you not that

:02:42. > :02:44.fellow? He got out a gun and they had a shoot out. That is really all

:02:45. > :02:49.you need to know. That is the long and the short of it, really. And the

:02:50. > :02:53.fact that he was able to cross three different countries when he was the

:02:54. > :02:56.most wanted man, with all these different aliases, and he was able

:02:57. > :03:00.to get across into France, and back down into Italy, so that is one of

:03:01. > :03:29.the... Issues that has been picked up by

:03:30. > :03:33.a lot of the newspapers. There is this question of how he could have

:03:34. > :03:35.managed to travel 3000 miles, undetected, across Europe, before

:03:36. > :03:37.finally been caught, more or less by accident, by Italian police, but the

:03:38. > :03:40.big question as well, for German security forces, who had him under

:03:41. > :03:42.surveillance for many months, and had identified him as somebody who

:03:43. > :03:45.might be planning attacks, but were not able to step in and either make

:03:46. > :03:48.an arrest or gather the evidence they would need to act. So there is

:03:49. > :03:51.a lot of talk about open borders but I think in many ways the bigger

:03:52. > :03:52.question is for the German intelligence services. And they

:03:53. > :03:55.would also tried to deport him, haven't they? But were not able to

:03:56. > :03:57.do that. His family have criticised the Italian and German authorities,

:03:58. > :04:00.I was reading, that they did not manage to deport him, but there are

:04:01. > :04:03.processes that we have to go through in Europe, for people to be sent

:04:04. > :04:24.back to their country. Yes, the whole

:04:25. > :04:28.thing is it is... It is still a very British, the coverage, we perhaps

:04:29. > :04:30.don't understand how Europe works, Europe is trying to be almost like a

:04:31. > :04:33.country, which is why they don't have borders, this idea that they're

:04:34. > :04:36.going to have more borders to somehow stop this stuff, I am not

:04:37. > :04:38.entirely convinced by it, but that will never happen, politically,

:04:39. > :04:40.because the whole point of the Schengen is that you can travel

:04:41. > :04:43.around, but you can get picked up in Italy, as it turns out, more likely

:04:44. > :04:46.than you could picked up in Germany. Yes, it was a routine check, this

:04:47. > :04:48.might easily have not happened. That is right, but it is not possible to

:04:49. > :04:50.have 100% security ever anywhere, and every time these attacks

:04:51. > :04:52.happened there are these questions asked, and like James is saying,

:04:53. > :04:54.through the lens particularly, particularly of the right-wing

:04:55. > :04:57.press, inevitably it will be couched in terms of a failure of European

:04:58. > :04:58.open borders, but the reality is that, you know, there are many of

:04:59. > :05:25.these disaffected young men, in this case, he followed really a

:05:26. > :05:28.pretty tragic past, from a small town in Tunisia, joined the wave of

:05:29. > :05:30.migrants heading into Europe, spent time in jail in Italy where he

:05:31. > :05:33.seemed to have been radicalised, and was a petty drug dealer in Germany,

:05:34. > :05:36.where he presumably got infected by this ideological virus that caused

:05:37. > :05:39.him to act in the way that he did, but you know, the idea that closed

:05:40. > :05:41.borders are the answer to that, I don't dig it stands up to any

:05:42. > :05:43.scrutiny. The Daily Telegraph is making the point, EU border warning,

:05:44. > :05:46.as terrorist is found in Italy, the opening paragraph says that open

:05:47. > :05:47.borders in Italy are putting security at risk, politicians and

:05:48. > :05:50.counterterrorism experts are warning, there are measures, as we

:05:51. > :05:52.saw in France, where, for... For a limited period, emergency measures

:05:53. > :05:54.can be brought in were borders are closed, we did see that in France,

:05:55. > :05:55.so Germany have that option. Absolutely but, the strange thing

:05:56. > :06:22.about this is that it's as politicians and experts, I mean,

:06:23. > :06:24.I... I will often talk politicians but they are not experts in

:06:25. > :06:27.everything, to just go to a politician and Sarah does not make

:06:28. > :06:29.it true but there is a very weird line in this, from a former

:06:30. > :06:31.counterterrorism, head of counterterrorism, at the Met,

:06:32. > :06:33.says... Schengen poses a huge risk of terrorism. We need European

:06:34. > :06:36.countries to get their act together, sooner or later they will get across

:06:37. > :06:39.the Channel. The whole point is that we are not in Schengen. So if they

:06:40. > :06:42.are going to get across the channel anyway, what has Schengen got to do

:06:43. > :06:45.with and it the old quote does not seem to make any sense but nobody

:06:46. > :06:47.has even picked up on that to make sense of it. It is not too late,

:06:48. > :06:49.Daily Telegraph, make a correction. The Daily Mail, feeling ill,

:06:50. > :06:52.postponed Christmas. They be forced to turn away patients and health

:06:53. > :06:56.chiefs are having to prevent the head of infection. This is the real

:06:57. > :07:00.Christmas Grinch story from the Daily Mail. Health chiefs are

:07:01. > :07:04.talking about, and again, we have to say... This is according to the

:07:05. > :07:09.Daily Mail, so it needs to be taken with a pinch of salt. But apparently

:07:10. > :07:12.health chiefs are sane self isolation will stop the spread of

:07:13. > :07:16.illness and keep the pressure from casualty units. Self isolation at

:07:17. > :07:20.Christmas doesn't sound like a pretty harsh prescription from the

:07:21. > :07:27.NHS, doesn't it? That depends how well Christmas lunch goes for some

:07:28. > :07:29.people, they might be tempted to do it even if they are feeling

:07:30. > :07:32.perfectly fine. If you have the flow you are not going anywhere anyway.

:07:33. > :07:36.You have no choice but to be isolated. It is a bizarre story in

:07:37. > :07:41.the sense of, you know, what else are you going to do? But it is also

:07:42. > :07:46.Daily Mail brilliance. Because it is, feeling ill? Yes. We are nearly

:07:47. > :07:50.at Christmas, everybody is quite tired, feeling a sniffle, you look

:07:51. > :07:53.at the news stand and go, yeah, that is me. And never mind that the copy

:07:54. > :08:14.is fairly self-evident. It is an eye-catching headline. We

:08:15. > :08:16.will go on to eliminate that may not be quite so eye-catching, but these

:08:17. > :08:19.figures, the hundred 74,000 patient 20 casualty departments last week, I

:08:20. > :08:21.don't know how that compares with normal, do you? You need a

:08:22. > :08:24.comparative figure before you can actually make any sense of that. We

:08:25. > :08:26.know that no new money was made available in the Autumn Statement,

:08:27. > :08:28.that the NHS is going through an extremely pressurised... And

:08:29. > :08:29.extremely pressurised phase in its finances, so it's perhaps not

:08:30. > :08:32.surprising that the casualty wards are piling up and the health service

:08:33. > :08:36.is under strain. In a way that should be the focus of the story. It

:08:37. > :08:41.does say that hospitals and 95% full. I would hope that hospitals

:08:42. > :08:45.are usually around about 95% full. If they were only 80% for the Daily

:08:46. > :08:48.Mail would say, the doctors are knocking off and there is... I would

:08:49. > :08:59.have thought the Daily Mail would have a truce on Brexit and wish a

:09:00. > :09:02.Merry Christmas to the non-EU citizens who keep the NHS going, but

:09:03. > :09:07.generally don't get much of a mention. No sign of that. This

:09:08. > :09:12.headline may not have quite the universal appeal of the Daily Mail.

:09:13. > :09:17.Banks are honest clients. And there is a three-year-old member of the

:09:18. > :09:21.Royal family. A top story. On a blacklist. What is this list. I like

:09:22. > :09:29.the contrast with the Daily Mail because to some extent if you are

:09:30. > :09:32.not a three-year-old Royal, then why bother reading? I suppose honest

:09:33. > :09:37.people want to read on. This is a database of more than 2 million high

:09:38. > :09:41.risk individuals including criminals and senior politicians, which banks

:09:42. > :09:45.use to carry out compliance checks, apparently a copy was accidentally

:09:46. > :09:49.left online in the summer, it is not quite the same as accidentally

:09:50. > :09:53.leaving on the boss, is it cost and Mark may be more people will see it.

:09:54. > :09:56.Apparently the times have spent the last few months looking at it and

:09:57. > :09:59.investigating it and now publishing their findings which amount to, yes,

:10:00. > :10:04.there are lots of people on this list are probably not any danger to

:10:05. > :10:08.anyone. Then why are they on the list? That is the question, but I

:10:09. > :10:12.suppose banks are trying to... Dining... The amount of money that

:10:13. > :10:14.gets laundered through many of our high street banks is pretty

:10:15. > :10:42.shocking. And I guess this of one layer, in whatever

:10:43. > :10:44.system is put in place to try to prevent that, although that is

:10:45. > :10:46.obviously the bigger question, how much will is there really amongst

:10:47. > :10:48.these institutions to take a firm line? Otherwise they would not have

:10:49. > :10:50.to rely on blacklists with three-year-old Royals and a former

:10:51. > :10:53.chairman of English Heritage on it, who insists he has never been

:10:54. > :10:55.involved in any sort of party political activity, so it is pretty

:10:56. > :10:58.clear that the database is casting its net pretty wide. I wonder how

:10:59. > :11:01.long this story will run for, given the time we have been poring over,

:11:02. > :11:03.four months. Yeah, I mean, I guess... It does have 2 million

:11:04. > :11:06.names on the list, so... OK, it will not take them that long. The team of

:11:07. > :11:09.officers spent the last three months reading through the list one by one.

:11:10. > :11:10.Now, he has been analysing it. Analysed it, not just read through

:11:11. > :11:27.it. It is maybe not as interesting as the

:11:28. > :11:31.Panama... The Panama files, not quite. I mean, it is a good story

:11:32. > :11:33.but it does slightly have the air of one that may have been sitting

:11:34. > :11:36.around in a basket waiting to be run and a quiet moment has arrived. That

:11:37. > :11:38.is not meant as a criticism, it is merely an observation. We all

:11:39. > :11:41.struggle towards Christmas, and all have stockpot stories waiting on the

:11:42. > :11:44.shelf for a quiet news day, gosh, we spent ages putting this together

:11:45. > :11:47.every year. For people like us on the TV. That is always fresh. We do

:11:48. > :11:52.our best. Let's go back to the Telegraph. This is a story they have

:11:53. > :11:55.been covering. President Obama criticised for abandoning Israel.

:11:56. > :11:59.The United Nations voted on a resolution put forward to condemn

:12:00. > :12:07.the building of settlements in occupied Palestinian territory. And

:12:08. > :12:12.ordinarily, Matthew, the United States would veto such a resolution.

:12:13. > :12:17.But not tonight. That is right. This resolution is more or less are

:12:18. > :12:20.saying what many people in the international community think, that

:12:21. > :12:25.these settlements, that Israel has been building, they are illegal, and

:12:26. > :12:29.should be stopped. The resolution also stresses that Israel has a

:12:30. > :12:33.right to it and security. But President Obama has broken with

:12:34. > :12:37.convention by refusing to veto it. It seems to be a sign of his growing

:12:38. > :12:50.frustration with the government in Israel, which is one

:12:51. > :12:54.of the most right-wing that has ever been elected, and which seems to

:12:55. > :12:56.disdain the idea of a two state solution, which was very much US

:12:57. > :12:59.policy. President Obama is taking this opportunity to signal his

:13:00. > :13:01.feelings on the issue. Whether he is abandoning Israel, I think that is

:13:02. > :13:03.questionable, given that the US has just signed its biggest ever

:13:04. > :13:08.military aid package, worth $38 billion, but there is a very

:13:09. > :13:11.powerful pro-Israel lobby in US politics and they spend a lot of

:13:12. > :13:14.money and they have a lot of friends. But Barack Obama is not in

:13:15. > :13:19.office for much longer and Donald Trump has signalled it will be

:13:20. > :13:23.different with him in charge. You know, Palestine- Israel is obviously

:13:24. > :13:31.incredibly complex, but you can boil it down to a soap opera, you have

:13:32. > :13:35.got President Obama apparently fed up with Benjamin Netanyahu, who he

:13:36. > :13:37.never really got on well with, and not Donald Trump piles in with a

:13:38. > :13:41.tweet saying, things will be different after January 21 he

:13:42. > :13:45.becomes president, so there are all sorts of issues at stake, but there

:13:46. > :13:50.are big personalities as well, that is perhaps the way to get into the

:13:51. > :13:55.story. The US ambassador to the UN said, we are just reflecting what is

:13:56. > :14:02.happening on the ground, in their view, our policy is, you cannot have

:14:03. > :14:05.a two state solution and keep building. Exactly. It is a policy

:14:06. > :14:11.that many internationally agree with. It is just that US politics is

:14:12. > :14:15.so framed that it is very difficult for politicians of either party to

:14:16. > :14:19.break with the sort of constant support of Israel in the security

:14:20. > :14:23.class. You wonder about the timing of it, so close to the end of the

:14:24. > :14:27.President Obama tenure, if that has anything to do with that, feeling

:14:28. > :14:32.that he can do so at this point, when he would not have made this

:14:33. > :14:35.choice a few months back. Although apparently they have been agonising

:14:36. > :14:39.over it for months in the White House, what are we going to do about

:14:40. > :14:41.this thing, so it is not simply going, I am a way out the door, I

:14:42. > :15:01.will do what I say, is usually conjugated

:15:02. > :15:03.issue for any reader. And although the Palestinians are celebrating

:15:04. > :15:06.they have been incredibly frustrated with President Obama is well these

:15:07. > :15:08.last eight years, he is not popular among either side actually, for

:15:09. > :15:10.failing to go further in, well, resolving is the wrong word, but at

:15:11. > :15:13.least progressing some sort of settlement. I suspect that will not

:15:14. > :15:15.change, Donald Trump is hardly the man to fix Israel/ Palestine. He is

:15:16. > :15:19.making the right noises though, different noises. Daily Mirror.

:15:20. > :15:21.Chocolate Santas could kill. There is a recall here of some festive

:15:22. > :15:27.sweets. We should say that we try to find

:15:28. > :15:35.something a bit more cheerful. The last papers before Christmas. As a

:15:36. > :15:40.newspaper man, I like this story. And a father of two?

:15:41. > :15:44.I heard this on the radio and thought, that is a good story, it

:15:45. > :15:48.should be on the front pages. And working from home a lot I have the

:15:49. > :15:52.pleasure of listening to the Jeremy Vine show, he had a thing on,

:15:53. > :15:56.surgeons in September, this news story about kids are swallowing

:15:57. > :16:00.these little batteries, and they do all sorts of damage to the wind

:16:01. > :16:04.pipes. If you wanted to damage small children the best way to do it would

:16:05. > :16:15.be to put tiny batteries in chocolate Santas. I do wish you

:16:16. > :16:18.would not make the statement quite like that. They seem to think that

:16:19. > :16:20.tampering has taken place after they left the factory and before they got

:16:21. > :16:24.to the Co-op. So we don't know exactly what is going on. But it is

:16:25. > :16:27.the sort of story that is a bit like the Daily Mail one, eye-catching, to

:16:28. > :16:33.sell papers. And also, a small child could

:16:34. > :16:37.mistake it for a suite. Yes, a little silver, glowing suite. It is

:16:38. > :16:43.very difficult at this point, so close to Christmas, to recall things

:16:44. > :16:46.like this, surely. Absolutely. 165,000 of those things are out

:16:47. > :16:50.there, that they need to get back. And to be fair, not only is it a

:16:51. > :16:58.good story, but putting it on the front page will also help.

:16:59. > :17:06.That is it from the papers this hour. We will have another view at

:17:07. > :17:09.11:30 p.m.. All the front pages are online on our website where you can

:17:10. > :17:15.read a detailed review of the papers, seven days a week, BBC .co

:17:16. > :17:18..uk/ papers, you can see us there also, each night's edition is posted

:17:19. > :17:24.on the page shortly after we finished, it is also an iPlayer,

:17:25. > :17:27.thank you to James and Matthew, red glitter, in James's pocket, we might

:17:28. > :17:43.see it later. See you in a bit. Good evening. It will continue to be

:17:44. > :17:47.more northern parts of the UK they get the worst of the weather over

:17:48. > :17:48.the next few days, there is another storm brewing out in the Atlantic,

:17:49. > :17:50.this area of
