:00:16. > :00:18.Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be
:00:19. > :00:21.With me are political commentator James Millar and author
:00:22. > :00:34.James has red glitter in his pockets, but has not added it to his
:00:35. > :00:36.beard, sadly, despite promises. Tomorrow's front pages: The headline
:00:37. > :00:39.in the i newspaper is ISIS killer It adds that Europe's open-border
:00:40. > :00:43.policy has been blamed for allowing the suspect to flee more than 1,000
:00:44. > :00:46.miles across three countries. The Telegraph also
:00:47. > :00:56.leads on that story. It says counter-terrorism experts
:00:57. > :00:58.are warning that Europe's open borders are putting
:00:59. > :01:00.security at risk. The Guardian's headline
:01:01. > :01:02.is The End of the Manhunt. It says the Moroccan authorities had
:01:03. > :01:06.warned Germany about the wanted man The Times has a picture of the body
:01:07. > :01:10.of Anis Amri under a blanket It also carries the story
:01:11. > :01:14.of a banking terrorist blacklist which is apparently so useless it
:01:15. > :01:17.includes a three-year-old member The Daily Mail has some advice
:01:18. > :01:21.for anyone who is feeling unwell over the festive season -
:01:22. > :01:23.postpone Christmas. The paper says health chiefs
:01:24. > :01:25.prescribe self-isolation to keep And the Daily Mirror says
:01:26. > :01:29.chocolate Santas could kill. It reports the Co-op has withdrawn
:01:30. > :01:32.them from its shelves, after button batteries
:01:33. > :01:47.were found inside. We will begin with how the Guardian
:01:48. > :01:52.is looking at story of Anis Amri, the man wanted in connection with
:01:53. > :02:01.the Berlin Christmas market attack. End of the man-hunt, it says. The
:02:02. > :02:06.suspect was killed in a gun battle in Milan. Questions asked how he
:02:07. > :02:11.could flee across Europe, he managed to get into France and Italy
:02:12. > :02:16.travelling by trains, and railway tickets have been found. It has
:02:17. > :02:19.become wearily familiar image, this foil blanket covering the body of a
:02:20. > :02:28.young jihadist who has committed some appalling atrocity in Europe,
:02:29. > :02:31.we have seen it in France, Germany, Belgium, and now this particular
:02:32. > :02:34.individual has come to the end of his run in Italy. Obviously
:02:35. > :02:41.questions are being asked about how he got 3000 miles from Germany to
:02:42. > :02:45.Milan. But at the same time, bigger question is perhaps for German
:02:46. > :02:49.security forces, who had the suspect under surveillance for six months
:02:50. > :02:53.and let him slip through the net, repeatedly, it seems. And here, the
:02:54. > :02:59.Guardian saying Morocco had also warned Germany and about this
:03:00. > :03:03.Tunisian. For my money the Guardian's coverage is the best of
:03:04. > :03:08.the bunch, because it has the vital detail that Morocco had warned
:03:09. > :03:16.Germany about this fellow. He was jailed in Italy for a while, and
:03:17. > :03:21.found his way to Germany. It is sort of a litany of failure, not least
:03:22. > :03:26.because the Germans picked up the wrong guy on Monday. Although it has
:03:27. > :03:29.to be said the Italians are fairly proud of themselves, and obviously
:03:30. > :03:33.with good reason, having caught the fellow. And he shot one of the
:03:34. > :03:40.policemen, and the Italian minister has said that Italians will be able
:03:41. > :03:47.to have a happy holiday and all Italian should be proud of him, fair
:03:48. > :03:56.enough. On the Daily Express, EU's borders, Nigel Farage saying the
:03:57. > :04:01.passport free zone helps terrorists launch attacks. There is the option
:04:02. > :04:05.of closing borders. Yes, but I think you have to envisage a pretty major
:04:06. > :04:10.emergency to roll back your's progress in creating an environment
:04:11. > :04:15.of open borders, after an attack carried out by one man driving a
:04:16. > :04:19.truck, awful as it was. And I think this is a big challenge, isn't it,
:04:20. > :04:23.for politicians across Europe, is to retain a sense of proportionality
:04:24. > :04:27.about these kinds of incidents. It is very interesting to see how
:04:28. > :04:31.Germans have handled this. Angela Merkel took 12 hours before she came
:04:32. > :04:35.out and made a statement after this attack took place, and she has been
:04:36. > :04:39.very measured in her response, obviously walking a tightrope in
:04:40. > :04:45.Germany at the moment, trying to make sure that this whirling in
:04:46. > :04:49.support for far right parties doesn't go any further. But
:04:50. > :04:55.obviously our very own Nigel Farage is going to be very keen to try to
:04:56. > :04:59.capitalise on an incident like this, and a paper like the Daily Express,
:05:00. > :05:02.which generally we can rely on to propagate inaccurate and damaging
:05:03. > :05:08.stereotypes about migrants and refugees, is obvious the all too
:05:09. > :05:12.happy to help them. The question is, of course, what is he trying to
:05:13. > :05:17.achieve? He has achieved it, we have left the EU. And anyway, you have to
:05:18. > :05:24.show your passport when you come into the country. He says there is a
:05:25. > :05:28.risk to public safety from the Schengen zone, we are not in the
:05:29. > :05:31.Schengen zone. The contrast with Angela Merkel, a proper politician,
:05:32. > :05:36.in power, and she has said everything will be done to look into
:05:37. > :05:39.where the Germans went wrong in this case, and the Nigel Farage is
:05:40. > :05:44.shooting his mouth off to all intents and purposes, I suspect.
:05:45. > :05:49.There will be people who agree with him, on mainland Europe, within the
:05:50. > :05:55.EU, there will be concerns. But again, it is that sort of simplistic
:05:56. > :05:59.response, it is a problem with open borders. You are never going to be
:06:00. > :06:05.able to stop every single plot, ever. 100% security just doesn't
:06:06. > :06:10.exist, and it is a sad reality but if the debate is always framed as a
:06:11. > :06:14.binary between perfect security, because we are living in a kind of
:06:15. > :06:19.fortress, and being prone to these attacks, we are not going to get
:06:20. > :06:23.very far. It is worth pointing out that this fellow was not one of the
:06:24. > :06:29.immigrants who came into Germany in the big wave in the last 12 months.
:06:30. > :06:35.He has been kicking around Europe for five years. The Daily Mail,
:06:36. > :06:45.postpone Christmas is the advice. Do the NHS a favour and don't turn up
:06:46. > :06:49.to the A if you are feeling crook. That is always the advice if you
:06:50. > :06:53.have a vomiting bug, don't go to hospital, because even if you feel
:06:54. > :06:59.like it you are going to spread it. Health chiefs giving drastic advice,
:07:00. > :07:07.which is if you are ill, stay in bed. But it is a great Christmas
:07:08. > :07:10.story, because people are getting the scribbles, people are getting
:07:11. > :07:14.tired as we get caught doormat near the end of the Christmas run, and
:07:15. > :07:21.the number of people will look at that on Christmas Eve and think I am
:07:22. > :07:25.feeling well, what do I do about it? And that is something the Daily Mail
:07:26. > :07:30.specialises in doing. It is a pretty depressing prospect to be told that
:07:31. > :07:36.your prescription is self isolation over the Christmas period, but it is
:07:37. > :07:42.the story that we keep returning to again and again. It is the funding
:07:43. > :07:47.of the NHS. And we will in 2017, no doubt. Some people will want to
:07:48. > :07:52.postpone Christmas, I suspect. May be not because they are unwell,
:07:53. > :07:56.indefinitely for some. An investigation into the chequered
:07:57. > :08:00.database of 2 million high risk individuals, but some of them can't
:08:01. > :08:04.possibly be as high risk as their inclusion would suggest. Talking
:08:05. > :08:09.about headlines, this is a headline with the word banks and honest. That
:08:10. > :08:16.is supposed to catch your attention on the subject is a three-year-old
:08:17. > :08:18.Royal and the top historian on the blacklist, which given most people
:08:19. > :08:24.are not three-year-old Royal is or top historians, might put them off
:08:25. > :08:27.the story. There is a database of 2 million high risk individuals
:08:28. > :08:32.including criminals and senior politicians, 49 of the world's 50
:08:33. > :08:36.biggest banks use to carry out compliance checks. I imagine some of
:08:37. > :08:41.these people might be having a quiet word with them, saying to take them
:08:42. > :08:46.off it. But they might not know they are on it, and we are living in that
:08:47. > :08:49.age of surveillance and... We saw a few months ago the government
:08:50. > :08:52.passing the investigative Arik Powers act, which basically means
:08:53. > :09:06.they can keep a record of all of our internet use -- investigatory. We
:09:07. > :09:09.don't need to be told we are in a fairly Draconian state of affairs.
:09:10. > :09:16.The Daily Mirror is where we go next. Chocolate Santas could kill.
:09:17. > :09:19.They have been recalled. According to the Daily Mirror, because some of
:09:20. > :09:24.them may contain this lithium battery. And James gave a gruesome
:09:25. > :09:27.description of the effect such a battery can have on a young child's
:09:28. > :09:34.oesophagus. I don't Exley want you to repeat it, it was disturbing. in
:09:35. > :09:40.September, an organisation of surgeons put out... They have fairly
:09:41. > :09:44.gruesome examples of kids who had swallowed these batteries. They can
:09:45. > :09:48.burn you, surely. They showed what it does to a piece of ham, strangely
:09:49. > :09:57.enough, and just burned straight through. Just by putting it on the
:09:58. > :10:03.ham? Something to do with the liquids and batteries. It is a
:10:04. > :10:11.really good news story. The content is horrible, but it has Christmas,
:10:12. > :10:14.and there is a slight mystery to it, it is if you did want to hurt
:10:15. > :10:18.children, this would be a very effective way of doing it. You just
:10:19. > :10:24.wonder if some nasty person out there has done this. How did they
:10:25. > :10:28.get inside? And they have done a bit of public service by putting it on
:10:29. > :10:30.the front page. That Santa Claus already looked a little bit
:10:31. > :10:38.sinister, when juxtaposed with the lithium battery... Maybe I am just
:10:39. > :10:44.paranoid. I think you might be, too much time spent as a correspondent.
:10:45. > :10:57.Let's find something a little more cheerful, shall be, to finish on.
:10:58. > :11:01.Miranda's mother and Bake Off. She seems to have said on a chat show
:11:02. > :11:07.that she wouldn't mind presenting it with her mum when it moves to
:11:08. > :11:13.Channel 4. Given that Bake Off is going to be one of, if not the, big
:11:14. > :11:18.TV show on Christmas Day, why not happen on the front page? It will
:11:19. > :11:23.get people. Miranda Hart is a national treasure and so is Bake
:11:24. > :11:29.Off, so it would seem a good fit. I don't know anything about her mum,
:11:30. > :11:36.presumably she can bake a bit. Apparently Miranda and her mum Diana
:11:37. > :11:43.were on a charity version of Goggle Box, and they were very funny
:11:44. > :11:49.together. So that is where this idea has come from. Not that she needs to
:11:50. > :11:53.be a fantastic cook, necessarily. You are both much deeper into the
:11:54. > :12:02.weeds of this story than I am at this point, but I do think that it
:12:03. > :12:06.will be and uplifting in the 2016, which has not in the most enjoyable
:12:07. > :12:12.year on many fronts. Maybe Bake Off is the opiate for the masses we need
:12:13. > :12:18.at this point. Isn't the BBC great? There is more to life than Reuters
:12:19. > :12:22.and the Financial Times. We will finish on something else which I
:12:23. > :12:28.haven't seen. Here is a festive surprise for you, and I don't mean a
:12:29. > :12:40.scantily clad Ellie Goulding. Forget the scantily clad singer. A last
:12:41. > :12:44.gasp raid on High Street. Manic Manday, as husbands and dad 's flood
:12:45. > :12:49.the high streets. They are likely to spend 1 billion quid. James and his
:12:50. > :12:55.partner earlier this year published a book about gender stereotyping.
:12:56. > :13:00.James, what do you think of this as a story? I don't think I can find
:13:01. > :13:08.the words. It is just rubbish, isn't it? It is just stupid stereotyping.
:13:09. > :13:13.I mean, it is the worst of toxic masculinity, is right there. But
:13:14. > :13:16.there is an element of truth in it. Let's face it, I did my Christmas
:13:17. > :13:25.shopping on Christmas Eve last year. Why? Lack of organisation. Did
:13:26. > :13:30.Christmas come as a surprise to you? It wasn't because of the contents of
:13:31. > :13:35.your pants, or was it? I am not sure that is a topic for discussion. It
:13:36. > :13:41.is nothing to do with that. You generally speaking and organised
:13:42. > :13:47.sort of person? This year I have done a better job, I have to say. If
:13:48. > :13:52.any of my family are watching... Of course they are, they are all
:13:53. > :13:58.watching. You are all sorted, then, are you, James? Absolutely, I did
:13:59. > :14:02.Christmas shopping, I do all the cooking, just because I do, not
:14:03. > :14:09.because I am a man. Frantic fellers will blitz shops. I will just park
:14:10. > :14:14.myself on the high street and do a little straw poll. It is early to
:14:15. > :14:18.dismiss this story out of hand, but if they do, it is not because of the
:14:19. > :14:22.contents of their trousers, it is because society has trained them to
:14:23. > :14:28.think that shopping is for women, and therefore Christmas is for
:14:29. > :14:32.women. We are victims, at the end of the day! I would so like to carry
:14:33. > :14:33.on. Let's take this outside, shall be?
:14:34. > :14:49.James, Matthew, condiments of the season to you both. We will see you
:14:50. > :14:51.in 317. I am back on 29 December. Coming up next, it is Newsday.
