0:00:00 > 0:00:01And the Prime Minister has released a Christmas message,
0:00:01 > 0:00:02thanking the Armed Forces.
0:00:03 > 0:00:05Theresa May says British troops are making the world safer
0:00:05 > 0:00:09by combating terrorism at home and abroad.
0:00:18 > 0:00:22Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be
0:00:22 > 0:00:23bringing us tomorrow.
0:00:23 > 0:00:25With me are the Evening Standard columnist, Rosamund Urwin,
0:00:25 > 0:00:34and the Telegraph's women's editor, Claire Cohen.
0:00:34 > 0:00:40Very good of you to be here at this time of year. We at grateful.
0:00:40 > 0:00:41Tomorrow's front pages:
0:00:41 > 0:00:43The Observer reports that children from poor families
0:00:43 > 0:00:45are more likely to need emergency treatment
0:00:45 > 0:00:46for conditions like asthma and diabetes
0:00:47 > 0:00:48compared to their wealthier counterparts.
0:00:48 > 0:00:50The Sunday Times says that Theresa May will abandon
0:00:50 > 0:00:53a manifesto pledge to overturn the ban on foxhunting
0:00:53 > 0:00:54in the new year.
0:00:54 > 0:00:57The Mail on Sunday details how the British Army is spending
0:00:57 > 0:00:59millions of pounds of taxpayers' money to scrap
0:00:59 > 0:01:02its 'Be the Best' motto, because of fears it's elitist.
0:01:02 > 0:01:05Britain's christmas food and drink exports are at all time high
0:01:05 > 0:01:06according to the Sunday Express,
0:01:06 > 0:01:08with Brexit a main catalyst the paper says.
0:01:08 > 0:01:10Staying with Brexit, the Sunday Telegraph reports
0:01:10 > 0:01:13how Boris Johnson and Michael Gove have criticised HMRC
0:01:13 > 0:01:15for placing large tax bills on individuals who donated
0:01:15 > 0:01:22to the Leave campaign.
0:01:22 > 0:01:30Amanda is in charge tonight. Nine stories for you. We will be quick.
0:01:30 > 0:01:36She always does this, she is very, very keen. A gap between the rich
0:01:36 > 0:01:44and poor, spending more time in a and E.This is a study by a trust
0:01:44 > 0:01:53which is found that children from poor families are more likely to
0:01:53 > 0:02:01appear at A&E than their counterparts. Asthma and diabetes
0:02:01 > 0:02:06are the two mentioned in the Observer. It isn't telling. It is a
0:02:06 > 0:02:14story about child poverty, really. Asthma, parents will likely to
0:02:14 > 0:02:24smoke, more air pollution and diabetes also related to diet.We
0:02:24 > 0:02:30are used to have reports about life expectancy affected by where you
0:02:30 > 0:02:36live but this is about children.The gap is there even in childhood.
0:02:36 > 0:02:43There is a link to another page, a dog by saying that he sees Ricketts,
0:02:43 > 0:02:51something we hoped we no longer saw. It is usually to do with diet, lack
0:02:51 > 0:02:58of vitamin D de or calcium and that is worrying if children are getting
0:02:58 > 0:03:05a disease that a diet could prevent. And spending time outside.That
0:03:05 > 0:03:13tends to be more in adults. But this is normally about diets but also not
0:03:13 > 0:03:19being outside also stop you seeing illnesses in children that frankly
0:03:19 > 0:03:25should not be seen in one of the richest countries in the world.
0:03:25 > 0:03:31There are been a resurgence as in other Victorian diseases. Scarlet
0:03:31 > 0:03:36fever, an epidemic recently of whooping cough. It seems like we are
0:03:36 > 0:03:42going backwards.One of the things they flag is that experts are saying
0:03:42 > 0:03:47that cuts to school nursing is a problem. Nurses at schools might
0:03:47 > 0:03:54seek things early on. So it could be treated far faster if diagnosed
0:03:54 > 0:04:03earlier. They also mentioned austerity being an issue.The deputy
0:04:03 > 0:04:09PM 's allies plotted to discredit me, Damian Green was sacked this
0:04:09 > 0:04:20week and this is Katie Boulter be -- Kate Maltby.And media onslaught to
0:04:20 > 0:04:27discredit her. Some evidence handed to the enquiry and, obviously,
0:04:27 > 0:04:34concluded this week with Damian Green no longer being Deputy Prime
0:04:34 > 0:04:38Minister. It was a sacking but it was called the resignation. It was
0:04:38 > 0:04:43one of those. She obviously was very badly treated by certain newspapers.
0:04:43 > 0:04:49It was a very vicious some of the things written about her and the
0:04:49 > 0:04:55allegations.It would make women think twice about speaking up.It
0:04:55 > 0:04:59was very brave of her to speak up and it took real gumption and she
0:04:59 > 0:05:04said she did that the spat other women come forward as well and even
0:05:04 > 0:05:10any suggestion of a smear against at a time when we are in the midst of
0:05:10 > 0:05:14the sexual harassment scandal in Westminster and further is really
0:05:14 > 0:05:22unhelpful.The Sunday Times, Theresa May ditches hunting the back animal
0:05:22 > 0:05:29rights. This is a change of attack. There was scant to be an overturning
0:05:29 > 0:05:37and now it seems to have disappeared.It is the end of year
0:05:37 > 0:05:44we brand. A brand and possible reshuffle. She is seeking to
0:05:44 > 0:05:51perpetrate the Conservatives as a caring party, the end of the nasty
0:05:51 > 0:05:55party and they suggest it might be a move to try and attract younger
0:05:55 > 0:05:59voters. Which, of course, is something Labour did very
0:05:59 > 0:06:05successfully.Downing Street is also in the night, no vote that could
0:06:05 > 0:06:12change the policy schedule in the session of Parliament.That is
0:06:12 > 0:06:14interesting that it clear is something the Tories are worried
0:06:14 > 0:06:20about. We saw earlier this year a story that ended up not really being
0:06:20 > 0:06:29true. What it was, mentioned down in this piece, is that essentially
0:06:29 > 0:06:37there was an issue with whether animals were sent in and it looks
0:06:37 > 0:06:42like the EU legislation would be repealed and not replace. They are
0:06:42 > 0:06:51obviously concerned that for the Tory brand, it looks rather toxic.
0:06:51 > 0:06:57They were surprised by how much weight was given to that story and
0:06:57 > 0:07:02how angry people were about it. Let's move on to the financial pages
0:07:02 > 0:07:07to the Mail on Sunday the top 40,000,000-dollar incentive. For
0:07:07 > 0:07:14Toys "R" Us bosses. There are hundreds of staff in some of the UK
0:07:14 > 0:07:19stores who are likely to be out of a job.I should not think of this
0:07:19 > 0:07:23story will win them many fans. They have agreed to a last-minute deal
0:07:23 > 0:07:30with creditors to save the business but it looks like a third may still
0:07:30 > 0:07:37lose their job in this country. As this report, Toys "R" Us will hand
0:07:37 > 0:07:45out $40 million to 17 US bosses which is incredible, really, that
0:07:45 > 0:07:51they could be lining their pockets at a time when the business is in
0:07:51 > 0:07:56such trouble in this country.The pension fund said there is a big
0:07:56 > 0:08:00deficit and you need to put 9 million in it and they have come to
0:08:00 > 0:08:06an arrangement that money will be put in but over a number of years.
0:08:06 > 0:08:13The bankruptcy protection was filed earlier this year. They essentially
0:08:13 > 0:08:18have to be approved in court and the strange bit of it is that actually
0:08:18 > 0:08:24it is... They are saying that is not entirely up to us and the court has
0:08:24 > 0:08:31had a say in it. When you have a situation where people at Christmas,
0:08:31 > 0:08:36worried they will lose their job, all these stores are going to close
0:08:36 > 0:08:40and at the same time having a visit...Is because of the different
0:08:40 > 0:08:47jurisdictions? That is happening in the State.I not quite sure about
0:08:47 > 0:08:52that but I think it is to do with the way it American bankruptcy
0:08:52 > 0:08:58detection works. This would not happen here if those decisions would
0:08:58 > 0:09:01have panned over in the same way but we still have pay-outs when people
0:09:01 > 0:09:09lose their jobs to bosses. Ministers, this is a follow-up from
0:09:09 > 0:09:16a story that the Telegraph broke yesterday regarding inheritance tax
0:09:16 > 0:09:20demands which is how donations from private individuals to the
0:09:20 > 0:09:27referendum campaigns are being regarded by HMRC and now they
0:09:27 > 0:09:34getting a big bill.If you are individual, an entrepreneur, the
0:09:34 > 0:09:38story says, you donate to a political campaign all party did not
0:09:38 > 0:09:42pay tax on it seems that is not going to be the case for the EU
0:09:42 > 0:09:45referendum on a number of individuals being slapped with tax
0:09:45 > 0:09:51on the back of that. They're using a slightly obscure inheritance tax lot
0:09:51 > 0:09:57to do that thing of diminishing their estate by contributing to
0:09:57 > 0:10:01referendum campaigns.Michael Gove thinks this is a terrible thing to
0:10:01 > 0:10:09happen to these plucky individuals. To be fair, the rout Remainer donors
0:10:09 > 0:10:15as well. There is one remain donor mentioned here so it is not just
0:10:15 > 0:10:24happening to the leave camp but it is fair to say, a lot of people that
0:10:24 > 0:10:30bankrolled the Leave campaign were wealthy individuals are supposed to
0:10:30 > 0:10:39businesses and organisations.The express, page two, US General,
0:10:39 > 0:10:49prepare for war with Russia. This is General Robert Mellor who has the
0:10:49 > 0:11:00quote of the night.Yes, we allowed to say that? A big fight. The US and
0:11:00 > 0:11:07Russia against a wall. It is quite an extraordinary story, really. He
0:11:07 > 0:11:12told this to US Marines as he visited them fall Christmas at a
0:11:12 > 0:11:24base in Norway any says that.The counterpart in Russia, particularly
0:11:24 > 0:11:31over cyber warfare and maybe taking the cables that run across the
0:11:31 > 0:11:36Atlantic which could cut off millions and millions of businesses.
0:11:36 > 0:11:44It is interesting. These are fighting words. He went on to say
0:11:44 > 0:11:48that an informational fight and political fight echoing what Boris
0:11:48 > 0:11:55was saying about the UK is willing and able to respond to cyber
0:11:55 > 0:11:59attacks. Fighting talks on two fronts.An interesting question
0:11:59 > 0:12:04about what warfare would look like in the future. It will not be people
0:12:04 > 0:12:10fighting...Cutting table... Economic warfare. The immediate one
0:12:10 > 0:12:15is that cyber warfare by other things could happen at that we
0:12:15 > 0:12:24cannot envisage which will mean troupe not fighting.Subterfuge.It
0:12:24 > 0:12:32could look very different, world War three.The Mail on Sunday,
0:12:32 > 0:12:38surrender- the army is giving up its bid the best motto.We are told it
0:12:38 > 0:12:51is deemed noninclusive and elitist so the army's top brass is dishing
0:12:51 > 0:12:54this motto because it is not attracting the right people to the
0:12:54 > 0:13:01army. Saying it is frightening off recruits. The army doesn't need to
0:13:01 > 0:13:07attract more diverse people but, at a time when it is in crisis and
0:13:07 > 0:13:16needs to save £20 million, to be spending millions changing the
0:13:16 > 0:13:22letterhead is not seem viable.We did the same a few years ago with
0:13:22 > 0:13:29our logo. It is extraordinary how much these things cost.One wonders,
0:13:29 > 0:13:36who does it end up with? Cannot imagine it is people deemed the most
0:13:36 > 0:13:42deserving of courses. It is at a time when the army faces such
0:13:42 > 0:13:47enormous cuts as well in all sorts of ways. It does seem like not the
0:13:47 > 0:13:53wake to be spending cash.Superstar today on the Sunday express. 40
0:13:53 > 0:13:59million hit the sales early. Terrible. An enormous shopping date
0:13:59 > 0:14:10shock. An estimated £1.67 billion... How do they work that out? I
0:14:10 > 0:14:15actually have not done all my Christmas shopping.You will have a
0:14:15 > 0:14:22busy day tomorrow.
0:14:22 > 0:14:25The great thing is that the majority of the money
0:14:25 > 0:14:26The great thing is that the majority of the money was spent on High
0:14:26 > 0:14:31Street, not online.Actual physical shops. Aren't you too late to buy
0:14:31 > 0:14:36online? Oh, not for sale is not for Christmas presents.And at the
0:14:36 > 0:14:40beginning of the market was down 10% and everyone was worried so it
0:14:40 > 0:14:44actually brilliant news the high street.You can spend it twice, you
0:14:44 > 0:14:48need to spend it today or after Christmas but you may get some
0:14:48 > 0:14:51bargains. Take your sharp elbows with you. Let's finish with the
0:14:51 > 0:15:00express. Eat, drink and be merry. Why? Good news, easy, convenient
0:15:00 > 0:15:05answer to a obesity is on the way! If this story is to be believed, an
0:15:05 > 0:15:12injection has been invented, we are told, or it has been invented by
0:15:12 > 0:15:16university in Israel, that can stop the sites that usually turn flat
0:15:16 > 0:15:22into, our bodies burn them instead, so the trial has been successful and
0:15:22 > 0:15:28that could be on the market in two years. Sir we can eat all the mince
0:15:28 > 0:15:32pies we want.We shouldn't applaud this, should we?We should show
0:15:32 > 0:15:36restraint. Except we do exist in a culture where there is food
0:15:36 > 0:15:40everywhere the whole time and I think we need to address culture to
0:15:40 > 0:15:44make it easier for people, and also so much is unhealthy and packed with
0:15:44 > 0:15:48sugar and all sorts of things, it makes it hard, I can see the need
0:15:48 > 0:15:54for a magic cure and we will wait and see...We don't need new years
0:15:54 > 0:15:58resolution, we can just have an injection.That is the papers.
0:15:58 > 0:16:03Rosamond, Claire, good to see you, thank you for coming in and a happy
0:16:03 > 0:16:04Christmas and New
