deliberate a targeted. TRANSLATION: The two officers they

:00:00.:00:00.

were wounded and other nearby at officers returned fire, and the

:00:00.:00:16.

attacker was killed. Hello and welcome to a look ahead at the

:00:17.:00:21.

papers for tomorrow. Some have managed to get the Paris shootings

:00:22.:00:31.

on to their front pages. Thank you for stay with us to do a second

:00:32.:00:35.

review of the papers the night will stop will be looking at the various

:00:36.:00:39.

lies coming in from the news agencies as we are talking. Writers

:00:40.:00:42.

are in particular dropping lines every few minutes about the attack

:00:43.:00:43.

in Paris. Let's start with Daily Telegraph

:00:44.:00:50.

which has the Paris attack quoting the French Interior Ministry

:00:51.:00:53.

saying police had been deliberately The paper also reports

:00:54.:00:56.

from Brussels, saying that EU that the UK retains European laws

:00:57.:01:02.

regarding the rights of EU citizens living here after Brexit,

:01:03.:01:06.

as part of any deal. "New Terrorist Attack

:01:07.:01:13.

in Paris" is the headline The paper also reports

:01:14.:01:16.

on government's plans to abandon the planned rise in probate charges

:01:17.:01:19.

payable on the death of a loved one. The Metro reports on a major

:01:20.:01:25.

study which suggests artificially sweetened drinks may

:01:26.:01:27.

increase the likelihood of developing dementia

:01:28.:01:30.

or suffering from stroke. Let me with a couple of the papers

:01:31.:01:39.

that are reporting on the Paris shooting tonight. The Daily Mail is

:01:40.:01:45.

of them. One policeman dad, too critical, it says, after a

:01:46.:01:49.

government goes on a rampage on the Champs-Elysees is just before the

:01:50.:01:52.

election. -- Champs-Elysees just before. All too often, we have had

:01:53.:02:01.

to report seems like this in Paris in the past two years, haven't we?

:02:02.:02:06.

Yes. These freezers will be very familiar to a lot of people. --

:02:07.:02:17.

phrases. There is in use in having perspective and saying these are

:02:18.:02:20.

small-scale attacks which may not have huge amounts of co-ordination

:02:21.:02:27.

and made not ring cities to a halt. This also shows that once again,

:02:28.:02:34.

people in the emergency services, police in particular, are out on the

:02:35.:02:38.

streets every time they go to work on a potentially putting their lives

:02:39.:02:44.

at risk? Yes. That Italy when you have here a police officer killed

:02:45.:02:48.

again doing his duty. And you have this iconic landscape in the

:02:49.:03:00.

background. You have the Arc de Triomphe, and the Big Ben clock

:03:01.:03:05.

tower in London. These big tourist sites are the target of attacks.

:03:06.:03:11.

Just a couple of lines from Reuters. The Paris prosecutors are saying

:03:12.:03:13.

that they have identified the gunmen, but they are still assessing

:03:14.:03:19.

if he had compasses or not. -- gunman. There was a report that an

:03:20.:03:25.

arrest warrant was issued because they thought that somebody else

:03:26.:03:32.

could be out there to speak to. But they said that police raids are

:03:33.:03:35.

ongoing. They are looking at addresses in the follow-up is part

:03:36.:03:38.

of their investigation. But the timing of this, of cause, is also

:03:39.:03:43.

significant. Just three days before the first round of the French

:03:44.:03:48.

presidential election. We have sunny similar in this country. Last July,

:03:49.:03:53.

the referendum, the EU referendum, Wenger -- when Jo Cox was murdered.

:03:54.:04:05.

I don't get really affected in the end. I think people accepted that

:04:06.:04:10.

that was a horrific, murderous attack by a deranged individual. And

:04:11.:04:16.

hopefully, the people of France will put this aside and not allow it to

:04:17.:04:24.

affect their elections. The Daily Telegraph also has this on their

:04:25.:04:28.

front page. A gunman with a Kalashnikov was known to security

:04:29.:04:33.

services, they say. This will be the information will be looking for in

:04:34.:04:37.

the next few days. Who this person was, and my connection they might

:04:38.:04:41.

have with other groups. Somebody who might be on a watchlist. I think is

:04:42.:04:48.

important to say that just because somebody was known to security

:04:49.:04:51.

services does not mean that there was a failing. People can also be

:04:52.:05:01.

known without being suspicious. Yes, a lot more information to come. A

:05:02.:05:07.

lot of leaders will say it is depressingly regular. And very

:05:08.:05:12.

different tiers and levels of extremism among some of the

:05:13.:05:18.

suspects. I guess the security services had to categorise them into

:05:19.:05:22.

how dangerous they think they are and how much information they have.

:05:23.:05:27.

Manpower is not limitless. They need to decide who is the priority. I was

:05:28.:05:31.

reading that there are potentially thousands, if not tens of thousands

:05:32.:05:36.

of, people on watch lists, potentially. How can even a well

:05:37.:05:41.

resourced security service keep track of all of them? There is also

:05:42.:05:47.

the suggestion that either the accomplice or the gunmen had come

:05:48.:05:51.

from Belgian, which is Brussels, and that is regarded as somewhat of a

:05:52.:05:56.

centre for terrorist activity. If that is the case, we are looking at

:05:57.:06:01.

is open border situation in continental Europe, where people can

:06:02.:06:05.

move freely from one country to the next, and that brings the downside,

:06:06.:06:10.

in terms of moving guns across the continent, which, luckily, we are

:06:11.:06:14.

not in the Schengen area and we do have the channel between us and

:06:15.:06:18.

France, which makes us a little more guarded from gun crime. Let's move

:06:19.:06:26.

on and look at the Times. A story about the EU. Britain told to keep

:06:27.:06:30.

EU laws on workers and security, says Brussels.

:06:31.:06:37.

Plus the jurisdiction from the European court of justice. This will

:06:38.:06:42.

be a surprise to many. You have a deal to protect the rights of EU

:06:43.:06:46.

nationals in the UK and British nationals elsewhere in the EU. What

:06:47.:06:51.

is now being suggested is that would involve the European court still

:06:52.:06:56.

having power over what the British government does to the European

:06:57.:07:00.

citizens in the UK. Even if they give them the right, which seems

:07:01.:07:03.

easy to do, you can stay here for the rest of your lives, we have to

:07:04.:07:07.

accept court rulings with regard to benefits, child benefit with Jo for

:07:08.:07:15.

example to those overseas -- child benefit for example. You would need

:07:16.:07:19.

a new body to preside over issues like this, a country like us not in

:07:20.:07:24.

the EU and a country that will? If I'm being too simple then please

:07:25.:07:28.

tell me, but if Britain leaves the European Union, we are out of the

:07:29.:07:32.

jurisdiction of the European Union so I can't see how the courts of the

:07:33.:07:37.

European Union can affect people who live here, be them Europeans or

:07:38.:07:41.

British or EU nationals or not. Surely that is if they retain the

:07:42.:07:47.

rights are stowed upon them by being a citizen of the EU because they're

:07:48.:07:51.

not a British scissors, they haven't relinquished those rights, there has

:07:52.:07:56.

to be a supranational body that can preside -- British citizen. If it's

:07:57.:08:03.

affecting the way Britain operates as an independent, sovereign nation,

:08:04.:08:07.

then it becomes a bit more complicated. The fact we are having

:08:08.:08:12.

this conversation shows how difficult the whole business of

:08:13.:08:15.

Brexit is. Untangling ourselves from 40 years of joint regulation and how

:08:16.:08:24.

it happens is very conjugated. This is a proposal from Michel Barnier,

:08:25.:08:28.

and has the backing of the European Parliament. -- complicated. We were

:08:29.:08:34.

told it was only Germany standing in the way of a deal between British

:08:35.:08:39.

nationals in the EU and EU nationals here, it seems that they're asked

:08:40.:08:44.

him the minds on this. It is square one and a difficult one to move on

:08:45.:08:58.

from -- there are demands. If we outside the framework there has to

:08:59.:09:01.

be a court that can adjudicate between us and the EU. It is

:09:02.:09:07.

plausible you could have European citizens living in Britain who were

:09:08.:09:11.

subject to British courts and British interpretations of what it

:09:12.:09:14.

means to protect your rights of residence, family life and those

:09:15.:09:18.

kind of things. If they are as good as you got when we were part of the

:09:19.:09:25.

EU. It doesn't seem like this is... They're saying it's a red line, it

:09:26.:09:29.

doesn't seem the only way of going about things. If they're worried

:09:30.:09:35.

about their rights to claim benefits after a post-Brexit, we would write

:09:36.:09:43.

that into law and it would be agreed and our courts would uphold that.

:09:44.:09:47.

There would be no need for the ECJ to make a judgement. This is very

:09:48.:09:53.

complicated. I don't remember any of it in the referendum campaign! I

:09:54.:09:56.

wonder why. Doesn't make for a snappy headline!

:09:57.:10:00.

Let's look at the Guardian, something else we thought couldn't

:10:01.:10:04.

be un-pick but perhaps it can be. Not too late to avert Brexit, says

:10:05.:10:10.

EU leader. The president of the European Parliament, an Italian, who

:10:11.:10:16.

is generously saying Theresa May is wrong, you can turn back if you

:10:17.:10:20.

change your mind, we will keep you in. You don't have to leave.

:10:21.:10:27.

Exactly. I think a lot of people are actually looking at European law as

:10:28.:10:31.

it is written, they would say there is so much ambiguity, enough of a

:10:32.:10:35.

grey area that if Britain decides it wants to stay in the EU, it's a

:10:36.:10:40.

political will question. The people who believe in the European project

:10:41.:10:44.

see this as damaging that Britain has left and of course they would

:10:45.:10:49.

want to keep Britain on board in those circumstances. I think he is

:10:50.:10:52.

saying something many have thought for a long time. Can we turn the

:10:53.:10:56.

clock back to July when we were having the referendum? I remember

:10:57.:11:01.

the levers saying, look, if we vote to Leave, it will send a shock to

:11:02.:11:08.

the European Union and they will up the offer to stay and then we can

:11:09.:11:13.

have a second referendum. They would have thought they were losing at

:11:14.:11:17.

that stage and they were going to hold out to those who weren't sure

:11:18.:11:23.

that if we hold a referendum we will get a better offer from Europe and

:11:24.:11:28.

the Leave campaign said don't be ridiculous, leave means leave. Now

:11:29.:11:33.

we have voted to leave, the European Union are saying... It would make it

:11:34.:11:37.

easier for them if we did? They aren't saying we are going to get a

:11:38.:11:43.

better deal, cutting budget contributions for example, they're

:11:44.:11:47.

saying it's not too late to stay together. They aren't offering any

:11:48.:11:51.

reform? To be fair we haven't asked for anything in particular...

:11:52.:11:58.

Theresa May is so keen to get out. What would be required for this is a

:11:59.:12:03.

Lib Dem victory in the general election, it doesn't look likely in

:12:04.:12:06.

the next two years Theresa May will turn around and stay -- say let's

:12:07.:12:15.

stay in. Article 50 is such a small clause, it has to be open to

:12:16.:12:22.

interpretation. I was always told it wasn't reversible. Even when you

:12:23.:12:26.

change your mind you are out, that is a vicious thing to say so he has

:12:27.:12:30.

said the logical more generous thing. Looking at the Telegraph and

:12:31.:12:34.

another EU related story, Theresa May commits to cutting migration to

:12:35.:12:40.

the tens of thousands. Some people think it is impossible to get it

:12:41.:12:46.

under 100,000. The reason it was impossible and why David Cameron

:12:47.:12:49.

promised that in 2010 was because we were in the EU. There's more

:12:50.:12:54.

immigration from non-EU countries. They can control that. But they

:12:55.:13:00.

haven't. Exactly. What they are saying is when we leave the EU the

:13:01.:13:04.

Prime Minister will do more to crack down on immigration and get it into

:13:05.:13:09.

the tens of thousands. Let's see if she can do it. She should have wiped

:13:10.:13:14.

the slate clean, she wants a new mandate, she could have had a

:13:15.:13:18.

different mandate. Lots of people are urging her to do that, why make

:13:19.:13:22.

a promise that has been proved to be hard to keep. You could fudge this

:13:23.:13:27.

promise, you could take out student numbers, those who contribute to the

:13:28.:13:32.

economy, you could give it an impossibly long time frame. There is

:13:33.:13:35.

some wiggle room, she said to wants to cut it to sustainable levels but

:13:36.:13:41.

it doesn't say to 2019. It is hard to hold her to account on this. She

:13:42.:13:46.

can say the line of below 100,000 until the end of the next parliament

:13:47.:13:52.

if she wants. It was below 100,000, net migration, in the 1990s. It is

:13:53.:13:58.

plausible there are a lot more EU member states at the moment who have

:13:59.:14:02.

sent a lot of people here. What's curious about this is having voted

:14:03.:14:06.

for Brexit, most people believe immigration will be certainly cut,

:14:07.:14:13.

especially from East Europe. There's no great need for her to say this

:14:14.:14:21.

but she has. They can't help but make pledges, but they are asked to

:14:22.:14:26.

make them! Let's look at the Mail again, Theresa May taxes plan for

:14:27.:14:32.

rise in death tax. This will be a sliding scale increase in fees when

:14:33.:14:36.

people die, their wills and estates have to be disposed of. Is this a

:14:37.:14:43.

casualty of the fact there isn't any parliamentary time between now and

:14:44.:14:46.

June the eighth to see bills like this through the house? Yes, the

:14:47.:14:51.

government want to introduce higher charges without having to go through

:14:52.:14:55.

Parliament. Liz Truss, the Justice Minister, has the power to increase

:14:56.:15:02.

your death tax in some cases. A parliamentary committee took a look

:15:03.:15:05.

and said actually this isn't really a fee because it bears no relation

:15:06.:15:10.

to the cost of dying and having an estate process, so actually it's a

:15:11.:15:14.

tax and you can't do that without Parliamentary emission. Business

:15:15.:15:18.

ends in Parliament next week before the election so they don't have the

:15:19.:15:22.

necessary resources to put this through -- permission. They could

:15:23.:15:28.

bring this back in the next session. Will it be in the manifesto one

:15:29.:15:34.

asked is? It is the second slight U-turn from the budget -- one asks.

:15:35.:15:41.

We had the NICs, swiftly ditched, and now this, a good excuse to do

:15:42.:15:46.

it. It takes it off the agenda for the election, unless of course she

:15:47.:15:52.

decides to put it in the manifesto. It was going to be quite a good

:15:53.:15:56.

earner for the Treasury? ?1.5 billion a year, taxing rich, dead

:15:57.:16:01.

people, it doesn't seem like voters are going to punish you. Good

:16:02.:16:07.

arguments in favour of this moneymaking scheme. Philip Hammond

:16:08.:16:10.

needs the money. Let's finish with the Metro, I think it is the Express

:16:11.:16:17.

looking at this, diet cola linked to dementia and strokes. If you drink a

:16:18.:16:23.

diet drink every day it more or less triples your risk. A lot of people

:16:24.:16:28.

are drinking these thinking they are being healthy. I know friends who

:16:29.:16:34.

won't drink the fall flat Coke, the normal Coca-Cola, but they buy Diet

:16:35.:16:38.

Coke and it has been the norm recently -- full fat. What you are

:16:39.:16:43.

giving up in the sugar you are replacing with chemicals which

:16:44.:16:46.

sweeten the drink for you. Artificial sweeteners. This story

:16:47.:16:51.

doesn't seem to say, we can only see the front page, it doesn't say where

:16:52.:16:57.

but it says drinking diet drinks can increase the links by three times

:16:58.:17:04.

for dementia and strokes. It's all about moderation. If you're drinking

:17:05.:17:08.

a lot of these everyday then you must be doing yourself some harm, so

:17:09.:17:12.

cut down. I'm sticking to the water but I want to see the full study,

:17:13.:17:17.

I'm not convinced entirely from the front page. There will be something

:17:18.:17:22.

that contradicts it. Go back to alcohol! Let me finish by telling

:17:23.:17:27.

you something else I have read from Reuters from the French prosecutor,

:17:28.:17:30.

he is saying they know the identity of the attacker involved in the

:17:31.:17:35.

shootings this evening in Paris. The identity is known, it has been

:17:36.:17:39.

checked, but he said he won't be giving the name until we have

:17:40.:17:43.

determined whether any more accomplices are around. These are

:17:44.:17:47.

life pictures looking down the Champs Elysee towards the Arc de

:17:48.:17:51.

Triomphe. We are still investigating and raids are ongoing, he said.

:17:52.:17:56.

Investigators want to know whether or not he had accomplices. The

:17:57.:18:01.

wounded police officers' lives are no longer in danger, said the

:18:02.:18:06.

Interior Ministry, no word yet about the passerby also injured. That's it

:18:07.:18:11.

for the papers tonight. Thank you to Henry and Dave for staying for our

:18:12.:18:15.

second review this evening. Thank you very much.
