0:00:07 > 0:00:09Hello.
0:00:09 > 0:00:10This is BBC News.
0:00:10 > 0:00:13We'll be taking a look at tomorrow morning's papers in a moment -
0:00:14 > 0:00:16first the headlines.
0:00:16 > 0:00:19A British woman accused of smuggling drugs into Egypt has been sentenced
0:00:19 > 0:00:21to three years in jail.
0:00:21 > 0:00:23Laura Plummer, who's 33 and from Hull, was arrested
0:00:23 > 0:00:29in October for having nearly 300 Tramadol tablets in her suitcase
0:00:29 > 0:00:31The Universities Minister, Jo Johnson, has warned academic
0:00:31 > 0:00:34institutions they could face fines if they fail to protect free speech,
0:00:34 > 0:00:36within the law.
0:00:36 > 0:00:39South Yorkshire Police say an officer has died in a car crash
0:00:39 > 0:00:46which happened near Sheffield last night.
0:00:46 > 0:00:49The 46-year-old man died along with a 61-year-old female passenger
0:00:49 > 0:00:51of another car when their vehicles collided.
0:00:51 > 0:00:53There has been a lower turnout than expected
0:00:53 > 0:00:54at the Boxing Day sales.
0:00:54 > 0:00:57The research group Springboard believes there was a 4% drop
0:00:57 > 0:01:00in the number of shoppers - up to midday today -
0:01:00 > 0:01:02compared with last year.
0:01:02 > 0:01:08Coming up later this hour will come just over one month to go until the
0:01:08 > 0:01:12winter Olympic in South Korea and I will check out some of our biggest
0:01:12 > 0:01:23medal prospects.
0:01:23 > 0:01:26Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be
0:01:27 > 0:01:30bringing us tomorrow.
0:01:30 > 0:01:34About 25 minutes
0:01:39 > 0:01:47we are poised and ready to bring you up-to-date with the front pages. The
0:01:47 > 0:01:56Times say that paedophiles is using YouTube as a shop window.
0:01:56 > 0:02:07Shoplifting spikes after police are not investigating.
0:02:07 > 0:02:10Three Brexit also fronts the eye following an immense by the
0:02:10 > 0:02:13conservative mayor of the West Midlands, cautioning against a hard
0:02:13 > 0:02:16Brexit. The case of Laura Plummer, the British woman jailed in Egypt is
0:02:16 > 0:02:21on the Mirror. The Financial Times says that retail is disappointing
0:02:21 > 0:02:25with a drop in footfall for traditional Boxing Day sales. The
0:02:25 > 0:02:29Sun leads with British troops being asked to use gender neutral words.
0:02:29 > 0:02:35And in the express says a stroll in the garden could help to fight
0:02:35 > 0:02:42dementia. Thank you for being with us to beginning with the time and a
0:02:42 > 0:02:46distressing story about the use, potentially, of the Internet for the
0:02:46 > 0:02:52abuse of children.It is a horrible story but it is no real secret that
0:02:52 > 0:02:58abused children have appeared on YouTube. The brazen part about this,
0:02:58 > 0:03:01the new part, is that now paedophiles are emblazoned in the
0:03:01 > 0:03:06videos with any mail addresses. People can get in touch with them.
0:03:06 > 0:03:16-- e-mail addresses. A legal expert is questioning whether or not this
0:03:16 > 0:03:21would be illegal. In a sense, you are putting children for word and
0:03:21 > 0:03:26there is always a danger of what might happen after that. It is an
0:03:26 > 0:03:30opinion but any right minded person will think that this needs to be
0:03:30 > 0:03:38closed down and closed down quickly. If in any way Google will not do it
0:03:38 > 0:03:42themselves it needs to be done for them. yes.And to be fair it does
0:03:42 > 0:03:47say that most channels were shut down but only after the newspaper
0:03:47 > 0:03:52contacted YouTube. It is about algorithms. It is about evil people
0:03:52 > 0:03:57but the mass that creates search engines that puts these things are.
0:03:57 > 0:04:02I am afraid it will only be people removing their business if they
0:04:02 > 0:04:07don't want to be associated and YouTube has already had 250 big
0:04:07 > 0:04:12advertisers leaving this year.As you say, the companies say this is
0:04:12 > 0:04:18not a doing an and someone says there has to be a way of stopping
0:04:18 > 0:04:21this and somebody has to do something. It becomes a way of
0:04:21 > 0:04:24minimising some of the online traffic. Moving on to the Telegraph.
0:04:24 > 0:04:33This one is curious. Please been blamed for shoplifting. In a sense.
0:04:33 > 0:04:40Police sparked a shoplifting boom. What has happened is that since
0:04:40 > 0:04:522014, police forces who have to use their limited resources increasingly
0:04:52 > 0:05:08judiciously, have agreed not to investigate shop lifting cases if
0:05:08 > 0:05:13the value of the goods is under £200. The new angle on this is that
0:05:13 > 0:05:19retail leaders have been meeting with the Home Office ministers
0:05:19 > 0:05:23because they are getting concerned. They say that gangs of corrupt
0:05:23 > 0:05:28thieves who know the law and now that they are unlikely to get
0:05:28 > 0:05:33collared if it is under 200 quid. They are going around and one of
0:05:33 > 0:05:39them is quoted as saying they used stores and supermarkets as a piggy
0:05:39 > 0:05:43bank to fund drug and alcohol abuse problems or they sell goods that
0:05:43 > 0:05:48they can then use for other nefarious activities. It is an awful
0:05:48 > 0:05:55lot of money. £6 billion a year. That is an awful lot of 199.99...
0:05:55 > 0:06:02And it always goes on to prices for everybody. Talking of prices and
0:06:02 > 0:06:06putting a value on something difficult to price, Brexit rears its
0:06:06 > 0:06:10head. How could we get through Christmas without mentioning Brexit?
0:06:10 > 0:06:17Next year we will be discussing it almost hourly. Philip Hammond is in
0:06:17 > 0:06:23some trouble. David Davis was not releasing documents and now Labour
0:06:23 > 0:06:27MPs are saying that Philip Hammond should release his documents which
0:06:27 > 0:06:30give an idea about the effect of Brexit on the British economy
0:06:30 > 0:06:36depending on different scenarios. He also made the mistake of telling the
0:06:36 > 0:06:42Select Committee he had them. Ministers should now agreed to never
0:06:42 > 0:06:46talk about any papers even what happened to David Davis. Is meant to
0:06:46 > 0:06:50have them in the Labour MPs want them, which is why bright. We have
0:06:50 > 0:06:58one heck of a year ahead. It has taken us all of 2017 to get to first
0:06:58 > 0:07:03base. Now we have a long way to go and everything should be in place by
0:07:03 > 0:07:08October if we are to have a deal.It would be nice if there was not a
0:07:08 > 0:07:11running commentary on nothing happening. To be honest, by the time
0:07:11 > 0:07:15I got to Christmas Eve I thought that this was like... All they
0:07:15 > 0:07:19needed was Cliff Richard to come out and sing congratulations. It was
0:07:19 > 0:07:22like the rain washing our Wimbledon because nothing is happening. Much
0:07:22 > 0:07:29of this is political manoeuvring. It is a reasonable story, it is
0:07:29 > 0:07:32generally quite right that the taxpayer funded research should be
0:07:32 > 0:07:36made available.They should be running commentary on the basis that
0:07:36 > 0:07:41it is the biggest constitutional change that we have had. It is
0:07:41 > 0:07:45getting so complicated that the more you actually explain it as we go
0:07:45 > 0:07:50along...People might understand it a bit better. There are too many
0:07:50 > 0:07:57invested interests. The BBC is the only organ that explains it
0:07:57 > 0:08:02properly. You just peddle the Labour line.Now, I am not.I mean, your
0:08:02 > 0:08:09paper. I do try to explain to readers what is happening there.It
0:08:09 > 0:08:13explains the basics of wrecks that and there is always something
0:08:13 > 0:08:17happening. That is the problem. Keeps continuing. The front page of
0:08:17 > 0:08:27the Mirror has the front -- case of Laura. They take the line that she
0:08:27 > 0:08:31is an innocent person in an appalling conditions and needs to be
0:08:31 > 0:08:36released.As we have heard throughout the day with interviews
0:08:36 > 0:08:40with her sister and her mother, she is an ordinary girl from Hull. She
0:08:40 > 0:08:44loves to eat it and has been going there for quite awhile. Her partner
0:08:44 > 0:08:52is and lives in Egypt but she now finds herself sentenced to three
0:08:52 > 0:08:57years in prison for arriving in the country with 300 tramadol tablets.
0:08:57 > 0:09:01It is a painkilling drug and there are questions, I would have thought,
0:09:01 > 0:09:06that if it is not for her, she would not have had a prescription, then,
0:09:06 > 0:09:10maybe the Egyptian authorities were not as heavy-handed as it may have
0:09:10 > 0:09:18seemed.Is difficult because when these stories was first reported
0:09:18 > 0:09:21back in October, people in Egypt's were saying that they have a problem
0:09:21 > 0:09:28with use of drugs of this kind.It is the most seriously abused drug in
0:09:28 > 0:09:32Egypt so they are on lookout for a. The various points made are
0:09:32 > 0:09:35absolutely right. The important thing for everybody to make sure if
0:09:35 > 0:09:39you take drugs abroad that the country you go to, that those drugs
0:09:39 > 0:09:47are illegal. Or if not, take a prescription which you.Even her
0:09:47 > 0:09:50family have said that if it is anything it is naivete rather than
0:09:50 > 0:09:56criminal intent. One would hope, judging from what they said...
0:09:56 > 0:10:00Perhaps there may be some clemency in the New Year spirit? Moving on to
0:10:00 > 0:10:07the Financial Times. Vladimir Putin, retail but let's talk about the
0:10:07 > 0:10:20third story down. Spymaster.A listening post in Cheltenham is
0:10:20 > 0:10:25desperate to recruit new offices tomb man it and having trouble. They
0:10:25 > 0:10:29are having trouble with the vetting process. It take so long to get
0:10:29 > 0:10:34somebody. Everybody needs to go through a high-level vetting. It is
0:10:34 > 0:10:42a long and involved process. And I am being asked questions that I have
0:10:42 > 0:10:49forgotten answers to. The trouble is that people are getting fed up. The
0:10:49 > 0:10:53applicants are being set up with it. And now they are going off for
0:10:53 > 0:10:59lucrative jobs in banks...Read paid and without protracted enquiries?
0:10:59 > 0:11:06What you need to do is to vet people. -- are better paid and
0:11:06 > 0:11:13without ongoing enquiries.Here is one thing that they may be wanting
0:11:13 > 0:11:21to find out about. The former fighters for the group that calls
0:11:21 > 0:11:28itself Islamic State who are on the run in Turkey.This story, worth
0:11:28 > 0:11:37noting that it was written by Michael Evans and Anthony Loyd who
0:11:37 > 0:11:41is a -- has a fantastically good track record and he is writing from
0:11:41 > 0:11:45Syria. These British fighters have joined Isis, they are hiding in
0:11:45 > 0:11:50Turkey and prompting fears from Western intelligence agencies of an
0:11:50 > 0:11:55increased risk of terrorist attacks in Europe. This research is being
0:11:55 > 0:11:59carried out in the area by somebody who dealing in Western intelligence
0:11:59 > 0:12:03agencies. What is interesting is that the work that is going on
0:12:03 > 0:12:09between American intelligence services, and the MI6, they are
0:12:09 > 0:12:14working together. Only three of the 40 attacks in Europe since 2015
0:12:14 > 0:12:18involved terrorist fighters returning, these incidents caused
0:12:18 > 0:12:23over half the fatalities.The idea that they come back with the skill,
0:12:23 > 0:12:29if I could use that word, and will harden from the frontline.I think
0:12:29 > 0:12:35that is something to exercise caution.Ending on a happier note,
0:12:35 > 0:12:42if we can. Good news but before that... Every time I switch Q I end
0:12:42 > 0:12:58up waiting longer. Passport control, supermarkets...The answer is? Don't
0:12:58 > 0:13:04switch queues. It is a last place a version. Apparently if you are the
0:13:04 > 0:13:08last person in a queue you don't like that so you want to shift to a
0:13:08 > 0:13:13different line. This keeps happening and as a result, if you do too off
0:13:13 > 0:13:21in you can find yourself waiting significantly longer. There is an
0:13:21 > 0:13:27answer to this, that is to stay in the line and wait till somebody else
0:13:27 > 0:13:31arrived.The other thing is that one solution the researcher says is that
0:13:31 > 0:13:36you could start talking to people, struck up a conversation to pass the
0:13:36 > 0:13:44time.Let me end finally, I know Joe is itching to tell us about this.
0:13:44 > 0:13:49Who is this man on the front page -- back page of the Guardian?That is
0:13:49 > 0:13:56King Harry. The Tottenham striker scored a hat-trick today and he had
0:13:56 > 0:14:02already come with his first goal in that match, had beaten a 22-year-old
0:14:02 > 0:14:05record for the most goals scored in a premiership season within a
0:14:05 > 0:14:12calendar year. What is fantastic if he is modest about this astonishing
0:14:12 > 0:14:18achievement which puts him up there with international footballers. He
0:14:18 > 0:14:26has promised to put -- take his teammates to dinner.What I like is
0:14:26 > 0:14:32that he has not even reached its peak. He has another five years.
0:14:32 > 0:14:36Both of you, thank you very much. A little early, but happy New Year to
0:14:36 > 0:14:42you both. We look forward to seeing you in 2018. You can always look
0:14:42 > 0:14:51ahead to the papers. Coming up next, we
