0:00:17 > 0:00:20Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be
0:00:20 > 0:00:21bringing us tomorrow.
0:00:21 > 0:00:26With me are broadcaster David Davies and journalist Dina Hamdy.
0:00:26 > 0:00:30Not a journalist, political analyst, I'm so sorry. Let's get it right
0:00:30 > 0:00:34shall we? We'll be talking cricket later and Dina will hopefully learn
0:00:34 > 0:00:38a lot from David.
0:00:38 > 0:00:39The Times reports that the best-paid family doctors
0:00:39 > 0:00:41can earn up to seven hundred thousands pounds.
0:00:41 > 0:00:43The Telegraph reports that the minister
0:00:43 > 0:00:47for the constitution has accused Jeremy Corbyn of trying
0:00:47 > 0:00:54to rig the election.
0:00:54 > 0:00:56The I leads with a suggestion that drunk
0:00:56 > 0:00:59revellers should be treated in, what is described as, 'drunk tanks'
0:00:59 > 0:01:00rather than our hospitals.
0:01:00 > 0:01:04The Guardian leads with an MP warning social media giants they
0:01:04 > 0:01:12could face sanctions if they continue to stall Parliament.
0:01:12 > 0:01:14The Daily Mail's front page covers a study suggesting
0:01:14 > 0:01:16Britain has a growing problem with addiction to
0:01:16 > 0:01:17prescription drugs.
0:01:17 > 0:01:19The Financial Times says worldwide merger and acquisitions
0:01:19 > 0:01:21surpassed three trillion dollars this year
0:01:21 > 0:01:22The Mirror is launching a campaign to end
0:01:23 > 0:01:26charges in hospital carparks.
0:01:26 > 0:01:32The Sun reports UK supermarkets will start selling bacon that doesn't
0:01:32 > 0:01:40have harmful added nitrates. The Daily Telegraph headline, got been
0:01:40 > 0:01:43trying to rig the election. A minister calling for an attempt to
0:01:43 > 0:01:51block boundary reforms an affront to democracy. Daesh Parliamentary
0:01:51 > 0:01:56boundary changes are always, always controversial. Another set is
0:01:56 > 0:02:04scheduled for 2018. Most observers think were they to be introduced to
0:02:04 > 0:02:07balance up the size of constituencies, at the moment we
0:02:07 > 0:02:13have some constituencies with 51,000 voters and other constituencies with
0:02:13 > 0:02:2190,000 voters. The idea is proposals will cut the number of MPs from 650
0:02:21 > 0:02:27to 600. And balance... Most constituencies around 70,000. That's
0:02:27 > 0:02:35the idea. Surprise surprise, the party that would be more likely to
0:02:35 > 0:02:40lose out on this would be the Labour Party. Surprise surprise the Labour
0:02:40 > 0:02:48Party are opposed, are likely to oppose, the changes. Actually the
0:02:48 > 0:02:51truth is that in the past you can find other parties, big parties, one
0:02:51 > 0:02:59might even say, that have opposed... What could you mean?Some remember
0:02:59 > 0:03:03boundary changes in the 1970s and 80s. They make a difference to the
0:03:03 > 0:03:09lives of people whose seats disappear. A certain seat in
0:03:09 > 0:03:18Islington under likely changes might disappear. It might seek the current
0:03:18 > 0:03:22MP, Jeremy Corbyn. That is why it is inevitable there will be opposition.
0:03:22 > 0:03:31Having said that, the background to this was it all came into the
0:03:31 > 0:03:36limelight. After the MP scandal. The Tories had a majority then. Nothing
0:03:36 > 0:03:40could have stopped them from doing the boundaries, finishing it off.
0:03:40 > 0:03:48And they didn't. Because it would have been counterbalanced at that
0:03:48 > 0:03:49stage by introducing the proportional voting system which
0:03:49 > 0:03:59they were not keen on. There is that element to it.Let's look at the i.
0:03:59 > 0:04:02Facebook and Twitter warned over inquiry into fake news. Not being
0:04:02 > 0:04:09very forthcoming with the information required of them.It's
0:04:09 > 0:04:12astonishing that they have been asked to hand over similar
0:04:12 > 0:04:15information in the US. Eventually they did handover to Congress huge
0:04:15 > 0:04:21amounts of data. They are effectively snowballing and ignoring
0:04:21 > 0:04:28the parliamentary committee here. Now they are being threatened with
0:04:28 > 0:04:33sanctions, not specified what exactly sanctions will be. But it is
0:04:33 > 0:04:36going to be perhaps targeting the revenue, the advertising, and it
0:04:36 > 0:04:42could really hurt.The suggestion is that Russian misinformation, as it's
0:04:42 > 0:04:45described, was allowed on these sites.They've had a very bad
0:04:45 > 0:04:51Christmas, the social media companies. I mean yesterday they got
0:04:51 > 0:04:57a bit of a battering from a former president, Obama, in this
0:04:57 > 0:05:03conversation with Prince Harry. And today they are getting a bit of a
0:05:03 > 0:05:08battering from Mr Damian Collins, the chairman of the select
0:05:08 > 0:05:17committee, that is looking into all this. I mean, for me, they are the
0:05:17 > 0:05:23victims of their own success, you can argue. They haven't been very
0:05:23 > 0:05:25forthcoming and they haven't been very helpful to a committee. As
0:05:25 > 0:05:31Deena has just said, what a select committee in the House of Commons
0:05:31 > 0:05:35can do about all of this, they have no direct powers. Yes, they're
0:05:35 > 0:05:42advertising could be affected. It remains to be seen whether that can
0:05:42 > 0:05:47and will actually happen.The Financial Times, EU set for new test
0:05:47 > 0:05:52of popular sport of Italy gears up for election in March. March four,
0:05:52 > 0:05:57this is. Another and establishment party is doing extremely well.
0:05:57 > 0:06:03Indeed, this is called 5-star. It was formed by a comedian in the past
0:06:03 > 0:06:08and is now doing rather well. But Italy is heading for, yes, as you
0:06:08 > 0:06:14say, a general election. An unpredictable outcome, everybody
0:06:14 > 0:06:18says. A hung parliament is the likeliest outcome. Then we'll be
0:06:18 > 0:06:25back to the good old days of Italian politics, when it was instability.
0:06:25 > 0:06:30The most extraordinary thing about this story in the Financial Times is
0:06:30 > 0:06:38that icy a name, Silvio Berlusconi. He of the Bongo Bongo Land two is.
0:06:38 > 0:06:48On another comeback. How old is Mr Berlusconi now?God only knows. This
0:06:48 > 0:06:56particular party is antiestablishment in a different
0:06:56 > 0:07:00way, not anti-immigration, just antiestablishment and
0:07:00 > 0:07:05environmentally, a bunch of environmental activists. It isn't
0:07:05 > 0:07:15similar to Ukip.It isn't bad news for the EU. Any instability is bad
0:07:15 > 0:07:20for you.Silvio Berlusconi is 81. He doesn't look it I don't know why.
0:07:20 > 0:07:25You might say that, I couldn't possibly comment.A little help...
0:07:25 > 0:07:30The daily Mirror is where we will go next. It has launched a campaign to
0:07:30 > 0:07:38axe hospital parking tax on the sick. At times these are extremely
0:07:38 > 0:07:41expensive parking charges. That people have to pay if they want to
0:07:41 > 0:07:49go as patients or visitors. - it isn't the Mirror that has launched
0:07:49 > 0:07:53the campaign, it was Mr Corbyn who initially proposed it in May of this
0:07:53 > 0:08:03year when he called it a tax on serious illness. He would fund it by
0:08:03 > 0:08:08raising insurance tax on private health care. Some of these nurses
0:08:08 > 0:08:13and health care practitioners pay up to £100 a month in parking. Leading
0:08:13 > 0:08:18to... Causing some nurses to rush out between shifts to change their
0:08:18 > 0:08:25parking lot so they wouldn't be fined. Plus of course families of
0:08:25 > 0:08:31the sick.I would like to hear somebody justify the level of these
0:08:31 > 0:08:38charges. Because whatever they were when they started, they have reached
0:08:38 > 0:08:42ridiculous levels in certain parts of the country, dare I say it, in my
0:08:42 > 0:08:47own neck of the woods, in the West Midlands, there are people who go
0:08:47 > 0:08:54for cancer treatment that can last all day who are paying fortunes to
0:08:54 > 0:09:00park the car or the family car in these car parks. The NHS is supposed
0:09:00 > 0:09:08to be free at the point that you receive it.Staying with the daily
0:09:08 > 0:09:13Mirror, -13 Celsius. Big freeze. Snow chaos. Coldest night. This is
0:09:13 > 0:09:20the problem, the next morning of the ice which is so treacherousit's
0:09:20 > 0:09:24easy to be critical sitting here in a nice one television studio.
0:09:24 > 0:09:28Despite the fantastic efforts of the gritters, and I here we have more
0:09:28 > 0:09:34these days than we've ever had before, and others, how we cope with
0:09:34 > 0:09:39the winter weather in this country is, frankly, not our greatest
0:09:39 > 0:09:42achievement, because year after year we go through all of this and we
0:09:42 > 0:09:47have all the why can't we do better? By the way we can't afford it. It
0:09:47 > 0:09:57doesn't happen so often. The reality is, hundreds of people in 2017,
0:09:57 > 0:10:022018, stranded at an airport overnight. Some old, some young. Is
0:10:02 > 0:10:05it acceptable.Isn't it because we don't have enough of it often enough
0:10:05 > 0:10:13to be geared up for it? In a place like...We don't give it a priority.
0:10:13 > 0:10:18We don't. We should do. The gritters have done a fantastic job, worked
0:10:18 > 0:10:22really hard. For those of us stuck for four and a half hours yesterday
0:10:22 > 0:10:26as an airport in Europe, we may be worked up about this at the moment.
0:10:26 > 0:10:33But honestly we come back and we see all those lorries on the A14, not
0:10:33 > 0:10:41some minor road, the A14. Clearly not gritted in television pictures.
0:10:41 > 0:10:45How is that defensible? I've never seen you so vexed!Is spent six
0:10:45 > 0:10:49hours in the airport.I thought that would have taken the wind out of
0:10:49 > 0:10:57your sails but no. To the Telegraph. Asked Doctor Google before your GP.
0:10:57 > 0:11:03That's what I was going to say. Not a month ago I was reading the exact
0:11:03 > 0:11:07opposite, that you would be told off by the GP if you go in and know what
0:11:07 > 0:11:12is wrong with you. Now you're told please stay at home at all costs
0:11:12 > 0:11:17unless it's really serious, then the last resort is to see a GP. It's
0:11:17 > 0:11:29very strange.It tells you how stretched they are.Seek help from a
0:11:29 > 0:11:35reputable, reputable online service. Some of us know when we go online
0:11:35 > 0:11:40with some little injury or whatever, I had one not so many months ago, I
0:11:40 > 0:11:44can still remember going online and being bamboozled by this good
0:11:44 > 0:11:48advice, bad advice, middle advice. What is it?I think they mean you
0:11:48 > 0:11:53should go on the NHS website.I think they probably do but then you
0:11:53 > 0:12:01could be guilty of something called to two where you go online and
0:12:01 > 0:12:04think, I've got that and that and you think you are more ill than you
0:12:04 > 0:12:11are.Then they should call 111.They don't want you doing that either do
0:12:11 > 0:12:14they?Unless you live where I live in the West Midlands and you have
0:12:14 > 0:12:20the greatest pharmacist in the whole world. She advises me and tells me
0:12:20 > 0:12:33what to do. I get on and do it.They can often help you.Straying into
0:12:33 > 0:12:41dangerous territory, talking about cricket. Before we came... Dina said
0:12:41 > 0:12:44she didn't really get it, we were trying to explain the rudiments of
0:12:44 > 0:12:49the game. On the front of the times we have Alastair Cook rising from
0:12:49 > 0:12:54the ashes. What has he done? At last?He's scored the highest, made
0:12:54 > 0:13:03the highest score over 200 runs, 20044I think. Not out. Still to go
0:13:03 > 0:13:11in this morning as well. The highest score by a non-Australian batsmen in
0:13:11 > 0:13:17a Test match at the MCG, the Melbourne Cricket ground. I'm not
0:13:17 > 0:13:21long back from Australia where I categorically failed to inspire the
0:13:21 > 0:13:25England team in the Perth Test match to great heights. The body language
0:13:25 > 0:13:29of the England team and, dare I say it come off Alastair Cook in that
0:13:29 > 0:13:37match, was awful. It's so wonderful to see him do this today. And my
0:13:37 > 0:13:42instinct is he will retire pretty soon. Maybe even at the end of this
0:13:42 > 0:13:48series. He will go down as one of the great English test batsmen, no
0:13:48 > 0:13:55question.Why did it take until now? They've lost the Ashes, they are
0:13:55 > 0:14:00trying to stop the whitewash. They needed this three weeks ago.If you
0:14:00 > 0:14:06have the answer to this you wouldn't be coaching the England cricket
0:14:06 > 0:14:12team.Why is it called a double century?100 runs is a century, he
0:14:12 > 0:14:17got 244, so he got a double century plus. If you'd got to 300, it would
0:14:17 > 0:14:21be a triple century, have we piqued your interest?Indeed. I'm going to
0:14:21 > 0:14:27go back and do some research and start watching it.We'll practice.
0:14:27 > 0:14:32Start at 3:30am.If anybody has a bat and ball we could have a go in
0:14:32 > 0:14:36the corridor. There is a nice long corridor, we can try. That is it the
0:14:36 > 0:14:39papers, if you come back with black eyes, you'll know we didn't manage
0:14:39 > 0:14:44to hit the ball much. Cyberchondria and David will be back at 11:30pm
0:14:44 > 0:14:48for a second look at the papers because it is Christmas. -- Dina and
0:14:48 > 0:14:51David will be back.
