0:00:24 > 0:00:27Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be

0:00:27 > 0:00:28bringing us tomorrow.

0:00:28 > 0:00:31With me are Randeep Ramesh, Chief Leader Writer at The Guardian

0:00:31 > 0:00:34and the Political Strategist Jo Tanner.

0:00:34 > 0:00:35Tomorrow's front pages.

0:00:35 > 0:00:38The Telegraph leads on the news that Theresa May could delay a promotion

0:00:38 > 0:00:40for Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt's next week because of

0:00:40 > 0:00:41the worsening NHS crisis.

0:00:41 > 0:00:44The Daily Mail also looks at the NHS winter crisis -

0:00:44 > 0:00:46the paper say the latest advice from health bosses

0:00:46 > 0:00:50is "don't get ill!".

0:00:50 > 0:00:52The Express also features the NHS crisis, saying cold

0:00:52 > 0:00:53temperatures this weekend could increase health risks.

0:00:53 > 0:00:56The I leads with claims from a woman who says John Worboys

0:00:56 > 0:00:59spiked her drink years before he was arrested, but that her claims

0:00:59 > 0:01:00were ignored by police.

0:01:00 > 0:01:09Worboys went on to drug and sexually attack most of his victims.

0:01:09 > 0:01:11The Sun says the police and Crown Prosecution Service

0:01:11 > 0:01:15did not want to pin any more attacks on Worboys as they thought his

0:01:15 > 0:01:16sentence was 'adequate'.

0:01:16 > 0:01:18The Guardian reports that John Worboys could face fresh

0:01:18 > 0:01:25prosecutions as alleged victims prepared to come forward to police.

0:01:25 > 0:01:27The Mirror leads on one of the murderers of James Bulger

0:01:27 > 0:01:29being sent back to prison.

0:01:29 > 0:01:31Jon Venables is to face a secret trial over possessing

0:01:31 > 0:01:32indecent images of children.

0:01:32 > 0:01:35And The FT reports that productivity levels in the UK have risen

0:01:35 > 0:01:41at their quickest rates for six years.

0:01:41 > 0:01:49We will begin with the story in the i, black cab rapist kept on

0:01:49 > 0:01:55attacking after police ignored her. This is a woman writing about her

0:01:55 > 0:02:01narrow escape and sometime later recognise the nature the attacks he

0:02:01 > 0:02:05carried out.This is a lady called Hannah Roberts who was a 20-year-old

0:02:05 > 0:02:11student working in London. She describes the police dismissing her

0:02:11 > 0:02:16as stupid and naive or accepting a drink from a stranger and refused to

0:02:16 > 0:02:20investigate and it was only six years later after the reports came

0:02:20 > 0:02:23out that she was given the opportunity to identify him in a

0:02:23 > 0:02:28line-up. The story is very similar to the other reports that came out

0:02:28 > 0:02:35that the time about John Worboys behaviour. She also talks about how

0:02:35 > 0:02:40it appears that the police had accumulated a lot of evidence but

0:02:40 > 0:02:43the CPS had to strike a balance between justice for victims and

0:02:43 > 0:02:47clogging up the courts, which is very reassuring for people who

0:02:47 > 0:02:52report crimes.The issue also that he was likely to receive the maximum

0:02:52 > 0:02:57sentence possible anyway and some of the cases that came to the attention

0:02:57 > 0:03:01of the police did not necessarily meet that threshold that the CPS

0:03:01 > 0:03:05thought was worth taking to court. All the bits of the general justice

0:03:05 > 0:03:10system have a case to answer, the police in the case of Hannah Roberts

0:03:10 > 0:03:17who says did not believe her and they laughed at some of the other

0:03:17 > 0:03:20victims, the IPCC thought their behaviour was OK after investigating

0:03:20 > 0:03:26them, rather ridiculously. We will see many cases, probably private

0:03:26 > 0:03:28prosecutions, which will end up with this man being put through the

0:03:28 > 0:03:35courts again because the right thing wasn't done at the time. People

0:03:35 > 0:03:39thought, OK, he will get a sentence, but it meant that he came out, what,

0:03:39 > 0:03:45ten years later, nine years later? So many women are reluctant to come

0:03:45 > 0:03:48forward because they hear about how other women are treated by the

0:03:48 > 0:03:57authorities.In this case, I had my drinks spiked last year.Last year?

0:03:57 > 0:04:01I was in the House of Commons, in a bar, I reported it at the time but

0:04:01 > 0:04:07no action was taken. The issue is, the sense afterwards of not knowing

0:04:07 > 0:04:12what happened to you is very distressing, I was very lucky, the

0:04:12 > 0:04:17police were very good with me, but in this case, to then be in a very

0:04:17 > 0:04:20vulnerable position and then report something and then the laughter

0:04:20 > 0:04:28effectively is just awful. -- and then be laughed at effectively. What

0:04:28 > 0:04:34is quite worrying, the failure in the handling after, we learned today

0:04:34 > 0:04:37that the victims did not know that John Worboys was being released.

0:04:37 > 0:04:40This is a man who knew the knowledge and he knows his way around London

0:04:40 > 0:04:44and he knew where these people lived. This is very distressing for

0:04:44 > 0:04:49the people involved.This is not to excuse anybody, but does it need to

0:04:49 > 0:04:52be better explained to people who come forward with a complaint, why

0:04:52 > 0:04:57certain cases are not taken forward because they don't believe that they

0:04:57 > 0:05:05will reach that beyond reasonable doubt threshold?There might be a

0:05:05 > 0:05:08case of that and in this case there were nine other cases he could have

0:05:08 > 0:05:12been prosecuted for at the time but the judge or the CPS said they did

0:05:12 > 0:05:15not think they would need it because they will get him for enough time on

0:05:15 > 0:05:20what was presented.And the indeterminate sentence, as well,

0:05:20 > 0:05:24which was part of the problem. There are questions over whether people

0:05:24 > 0:05:28thought he was going to be in for a lot longer but the parole board only

0:05:28 > 0:05:34have one conviction and vector macaque as well as the assaults,

0:05:34 > 0:05:37where as if it had been several assaults and rates it would have

0:05:37 > 0:05:43changed their view -- one conviction and rape as well as the assaults.

0:05:43 > 0:05:49There will be a lot of fallout from this. Now to The Daily Telegraph, a

0:05:49 > 0:05:52bit of a reshuffle, but Theresa May doesn't have much room for manoeuvre

0:05:52 > 0:05:58and Jeremy Hunt might have to wait? He is in the midst of an NHS crisis

0:05:58 > 0:06:02and he is seen as the safe pair of hands so they are not likely to

0:06:02 > 0:06:07moving from that, but he she has a big hole because the Deputy Prime

0:06:07 > 0:06:15Minister one. -- but she has. The reporter is very certain there will

0:06:15 > 0:06:17be a Cabinet reshuffle next week, but I guess she has got to do

0:06:17 > 0:06:21something because there is a gap in her government.She doesn't want to

0:06:21 > 0:06:26move the chess pieces around much for top she hasn't wanted to euro,

0:06:26 > 0:06:32and I think it is more about being forced to -- she hasn't wanted to,

0:06:32 > 0:06:36really, and I think it is more about being forced to. It was reported in

0:06:36 > 0:06:42October that the chairman Patrick McLoughlin wanted to leave his post

0:06:42 > 0:06:46as chairman of the Tory party and he was holding on hopeful of a

0:06:46 > 0:06:50reshuffle which did not happen, then holding on again, and then when

0:06:50 > 0:06:54Priti Patel left there was talk that it might have happened but it

0:06:54 > 0:07:01didn't. There are a few players who are being touted, getting their best

0:07:01 > 0:07:05Sujad of the wardrobe, and then it doesn't happen. -- best suit at the

0:07:05 > 0:07:18border.She only has ace -- a few ways she can manoeuvre.You always

0:07:18 > 0:07:21have very unhappy people when they leave Cabinet, and it is not even

0:07:21 > 0:07:25them that you have got to worry about, it is the others who are

0:07:25 > 0:07:27overlooked for promotion, so you can cause as many problems as you think

0:07:27 > 0:07:32you are going to solve but inevitably she doesn't have came in

0:07:32 > 0:07:37green in that post and that has got to be filled -- she doesn't have

0:07:37 > 0:07:42Damian Green in that post.The caption says in the cartoon, will be

0:07:42 > 0:07:50reshuffle be seen, Theresa May, Jeremy Hunt has been waiting in the

0:07:50 > 0:07:59corridor for 36 hours! Now to another story in The Daily Telegraph

0:07:59 > 0:08:06about coal.Yes, I remember the 70s, and the events of the 80s, you

0:08:06 > 0:08:09forget that coal was still going them, because it seemed as if we

0:08:09 > 0:08:13didn't really have any coal that was being used. Last year was the first

0:08:13 > 0:08:21time since the Industrial Revolution that Britain used no coal-fired

0:08:21 > 0:08:25power at all in a single 24-hour period. We are moving over to other

0:08:25 > 0:08:31methods and that is why this move and the pollution associated with it

0:08:31 > 0:08:34is part of the reason for the switch over.We are doing better than other

0:08:34 > 0:08:43countries.We are one of the leaders in Europe in terms of clean energy.

0:08:43 > 0:08:46The government has to do and it has been very zealous in implementing

0:08:46 > 0:08:52carbon taxes and the rest of it. It is a marker of change because the

0:08:52 > 0:08:58whole thing was Britain was built on call. But times move on -- built on

0:08:58 > 0:09:03coal.Few records have been broken where clean technologies have

0:09:03 > 0:09:06generated more power in a particular period of time that the older more

0:09:06 > 0:09:12traditional ones as well. And yet sometimes it seems as if the

0:09:12 > 0:09:15subsidies have dried up, the government subsidies have not been

0:09:15 > 0:09:21there more recently for some of those cleaner fuels.When wind power

0:09:21 > 0:09:26came out as cheap and nuclear, that was seen as a turning point for

0:09:26 > 0:09:31green technology, -- cheaper than nuclear.Then everyone moaned about

0:09:31 > 0:09:35wind turbines because they didn't like the look of them. You can't

0:09:35 > 0:09:43please everyone.The Daily Mail, the NHS tells us don't get ill. Over

0:09:43 > 0:09:46Christmas we were told to look up any illness we might get over the

0:09:46 > 0:09:53internet. This is great advice.I can't get excited about this,

0:09:53 > 0:09:58because if the NHS was telling us to get ill I'd be more worried. Don't

0:09:58 > 0:10:04get ill seems reasonable. It is Nanny statism I can kind of agree

0:10:04 > 0:10:09with, to be honest.It will be on present conditions and that can

0:10:09 > 0:10:15cause problems this weekend. -- rather on present conditions.Yes,

0:10:15 > 0:10:20and if your operation has been cancelled... But people get sick,

0:10:20 > 0:10:23ultimately, they need somewhere to go, but if they are encouraging

0:10:23 > 0:10:30people to self remedy and stay at home, rather than soldiering on, and

0:10:30 > 0:10:35no one will turn up for work on Monday. I was told not to get ill so

0:10:35 > 0:10:41I don't want anyone else to get ill. Nip early symptoms in the bud. I

0:10:41 > 0:10:46don't think I've ever been successful at doing that.Everyone

0:10:46 > 0:10:54will be googling the old wives tales to find out the answers.Now, 16 and

0:10:54 > 0:10:5917, The Times, extracts from the book Fire and Fury, by Michael

0:10:59 > 0:11:02Wolff, after his infiltration of the West Wing to find out what life has

0:11:02 > 0:11:06been like inside the White House with Donald Trump and his first

0:11:06 > 0:11:11president. Take a shower, Steve Bannon, you have want those pants

0:11:11 > 0:11:18for six days, is one quote. This is Steve Bannon really losing a lot of

0:11:18 > 0:11:25friends.I had to go through the book today, so I have speed read it.

0:11:25 > 0:11:32You know how it ends.Yes, badly. It is the rise and fall of Steve Bannon

0:11:32 > 0:11:36who is quite a character and the obvious source for much of the stuff

0:11:36 > 0:11:41but it is funny and it makes you laugh out loud. You have warned

0:11:41 > 0:11:47those pants for six days is the general mood.Trousers?He doesn't

0:11:47 > 0:11:52care much for his appearance, that's why.Personal hygiene leaves a bit

0:11:52 > 0:11:57to be desired?Yes, I don't think Ivanka Trump will be standing next

0:11:57 > 0:12:04to him in too many bridges. But it was his warm the doe -- it was his

0:12:04 > 0:12:09war against Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner. When Steve Bannon goes

0:12:09 > 0:12:13down, he tries to take other people within, the stuff about kids

0:12:13 > 0:12:15committing treason and that Donald Trump might be done for financial

0:12:15 > 0:12:18fraud and that he should be impeached for being mentally unfit

0:12:18 > 0:12:23to hold office, you know, he will not be welcomed back, unless Donald

0:12:23 > 0:12:31Trump really needs him for election. If he is still there. This book has

0:12:31 > 0:12:35become a bestseller before it is released because the advance orders

0:12:35 > 0:12:40were so intense. Anyone who got hold of a copy, was sticking their

0:12:40 > 0:12:49pictures on Facebook today. If they had a Kindle version.How wise is it

0:12:49 > 0:12:53to turn on someone who knows so many of your secrets?There is the

0:12:53 > 0:12:58argument that potentially, some people around him, like Steve

0:12:58 > 0:13:01Bannon, consider writing on the wall, and if you think he won't last

0:13:01 > 0:13:07that long, he will think he can use his time wisely -- can see the

0:13:07 > 0:13:12writing on the wall. This headline and much of what is talked about in

0:13:12 > 0:13:16here, Donald Trump was putting him down in front of people and he was

0:13:16 > 0:13:20quite aggressive in his tone and he did not really try to treat him in a

0:13:20 > 0:13:28friendly manner. Even the journalist who has written this, Michael Wolff,

0:13:28 > 0:13:31he's going out all guns blazing because he has turned on the

0:13:31 > 0:13:36convention, that much of this that is said is not reported, but he has

0:13:36 > 0:13:39decided he's going to make a lot of money and he will probably retire on

0:13:39 > 0:13:44it.He is saying he had unfettered access to the White House. Despite

0:13:44 > 0:13:51what Donald Trump is saying.Michael Wolff blows his own trumpet. He had

0:13:51 > 0:13:56a lot of time in and out of Steve Bannon's office.It is like the

0:13:56 > 0:14:00house of cards being replayed, the author in that, given loads of

0:14:00 > 0:14:06access. Essentially it looks like in this case, they took advantage of

0:14:06 > 0:14:09the naivete of the administration not really recognising that this was

0:14:09 > 0:14:14probably a bad idea. You work in politics and someone says they want

0:14:14 > 0:14:19to do a fly on the wall. But no, you are on my watchful stop the

0:14:19 > 0:14:26Financial Times,hopes for a productivity rebound?Productivity

0:14:26 > 0:14:31was as flat as a pancake and they have had a little bump so the

0:14:31 > 0:14:35Chancellor has tweeted this and hopes to rise, I suppose, but they

0:14:35 > 0:14:41probably fall, as well, I suspect, is the expert says, there needs to

0:14:41 > 0:14:47be a sustained improvement to ease concerns. It's the worst period

0:14:47 > 0:14:53since the 1820s in terms of productivity in Britain.In one

0:14:53 > 0:14:55quarter output per hour rose less than 1% and that has made the front

0:14:55 > 0:14:59page of the FT because they are looking for any reasons to be

0:14:59 > 0:15:08cheerful.The Guardian. Phones fuel shock rise in exam cheating. Who

0:15:08 > 0:15:13would have thought it, crafty little devils.Staff also involved.

0:15:13 > 0:15:18Official figures showing the number teachers and school staff involved

0:15:18 > 0:15:23in exam malpractice, more than doubled between 2016 and 2017.What

0:15:23 > 0:15:30are they doing, then?Handing the phones over.LAUGHTER

0:15:30 > 0:15:37The fascinating statistic, there were 2715 penalties issued to just

0:15:37 > 0:15:40over two and a half thousand students which implies some of those

0:15:40 > 0:15:45must have done it more than once. Surely if you have been caught once,

0:15:45 > 0:15:52you might not do it again.Does it say what... A reduction of marks or

0:15:52 > 0:16:00a warning given. It is not much of a punishment, to get a warning.I

0:16:00 > 0:16:03suppose it is redemption, giving them a second chance.You have to do

0:16:03 > 0:16:08that?I think so.They are only in their teens but they still know what

0:16:08 > 0:16:17cheating is.LAUGHTER Sometimes. It is no surprise, you

0:16:17 > 0:16:21can easily put a phone in your blazer pocket, I imagine.It is the

0:16:21 > 0:16:26using it on a desk... I think over the years there have been tactics

0:16:26 > 0:16:33tried.Robert who is producing said we wrote on the back of our hands,

0:16:33 > 0:16:43didn't we? Did we, Robert?Top marks.He is only surmising.

0:16:43 > 0:16:52Finally, the Scottish Daily Mail. Last or in the war on plastic, this

0:16:52 > 0:16:56is getting a lot of coverage at the moment. How we dispose of plastic

0:16:56 > 0:17:03and how much plastic reuse and plastic bags. Talking about these

0:17:03 > 0:17:06particular bags with lining in a coffee cup which makes it more

0:17:06 > 0:17:11difficult to recycle the stop coffee cupsone of the hardest areas to

0:17:11 > 0:17:15deal with because it doesn't matter what special bin you put somewhere,

0:17:15 > 0:17:18someone will walk down the road with their cup and chuck it somewhere and

0:17:18 > 0:17:21then it gets into a system that can't recycle it. It is a massive

0:17:21 > 0:17:26challenge. The Scottish Daily Mail is focusing on a campaign that has

0:17:26 > 0:17:34been launched by an MSP who is essentially saying that stores, we

0:17:34 > 0:17:38need to look at pubs and restaurants, stopping the use of

0:17:38 > 0:17:43stores because they are used far too widespread and they are a real

0:17:43 > 0:17:50problem in terms of recycling, as well -- the use of straws.They

0:17:50 > 0:17:54cause a lot of problems when they get into oceans in particular.China

0:17:54 > 0:18:01has said they are not taking any more of our plastic so we have got

0:18:01 > 0:18:05to do something.Not the first time, I'm going to show my when I was

0:18:05 > 0:18:11growing up, we had paper straws. -- I'm going to show my age, when I was

0:18:11 > 0:18:16growing up, we had paper straws. They are still around for the Fai

0:18:16 > 0:18:25are not very good-- but they are not very good, because they get wet.

0:18:25 > 0:18:30The thing with the coffee cup, everyone thinks it is paper so they

0:18:30 > 0:18:33throw that in the cycling, but you have got to line it with something

0:18:33 > 0:18:41-- throw that in the recital in. -- in the recycling.Thanks for coming

0:18:41 > 0:18:50in. Don't forget you can see all of the papers online, if you have

0:18:50 > 0:18:57missed the programme any evening. Thanks again. Coming up next, the

0:18:57 > 0:19:04weather.
