Hello, and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. With me are benedicte paviot, uk correspondent at the french broadcaster france 2a, and susie boniface, columnist at the daily mirror. Struggling in the face of the lurgie. Thank you for coming in. Oh, you see, they love us so much. Tomorrows front pages the mail focuses on the new years honours list and dubs mark lowcock, the Civil Servant honoured with a knighthood, as sir foreign aid. The paper carries a picture of ken dodd, who also received a knighthood. Andy murrays knighthood is on the front page of the daily telegraph, as well as a warning from the nhs chief that the service cannot cope with the strain of party goers. The times chooses to headline Donald Trumps praise of Vladimir Putin over the russian leaders dealing with the latest diplomatic row. It also applauds times cartoonist Peter Brookes inclusion in the honours list. The sun gives its front page over to the new years honours list, with the andy murray inspired headline, serve and jolly. And, finally, the i criticises the honours given to those it calls theresa mays cronies, who include tory donors and her former colleagues at the home office. So, we will start with the honours, on many front pages, as you will have worked out, we will come to the controversial bits in a minute, but first of all the sun, serve and jolly, the editors having a nice time without, there is andy murray. Of course it has won everything else, it is about time he has got a gong. He has done brilliantly and tennis is a sport where it is pretty much gladiatorial, down to one person, as opposed to being part of a team. He has to go out tamminen is and do the best he can. I dont want to detract from his achievements at all but i think that a knighthood is what you should get at a certain point of your career. Not because you are a certain age but because you are a certain age but because you have achieved quite a lot and you have achieved quite a lot and you dont have so far to go as you have already been, if you see what i mean. Perhaps over the halfway mark. I appreciate a tennis persons career is not as short as the rest of us, but it is unreasonable to get it at 29. What will you give him at 35 . Ken dodd at 89, he has other honours but he has been at the other end of the scale. And his is well deserved. He has given so much enjoyment to the nation. And still performing. Extraordinary. Four hours at a time. His laugh is infectious. And the Tickling Stick. Maybe they should dump him with a Tickling Stick instead of a sword. Maybe. We can only suggest it. |j Tickling Stick instead of a sword. Maybe. We can only suggest it. I am sure she is watching. And Dame Jessica Ennis hill as well. But of course on the i the controversial side of it, which crops up, people dont agree with the way it is done, oi dont agree with the way it is done, or that it is done at all, honours for theresa mays cronies. She said she would sort it out and reform the system after David Cameron left office and gave honours to so many people as he exited number ten, and yet here she is giving honours to herformer yet here she is giving honours to her former colleagues yet here she is giving honours to herformer colleagues in yet here she is giving honours to her former colleagues in the yet here she is giving honours to herformer colleagues in the home office. Well, i think a lot of people in powerful positions, before they are the person they are, you know, the head of government in this country, say they are going to do all kind of reforms and clearly the reforms i think i needed. I think there is consensus across the country. There has been no reform yet. I think there are going to be fresh calls, as indeed the i says, because it comes months after mr camerons controversial honours list. And you open yourself to criticism. One is it is clear there are far more people who have been from the home office, theresa mays previous post, and that is opening yourself up to that possibility of criticism. Let alone st helena, as the telegraph calls it, the airport fiasco, and the fact is. What is his name . Mark local. He seems to be rewarded for something lowcock. A, doing hisjob, and some say not doing it very well, and that is the opinion of the i and the daily telegraph, because that airport has been a fiasco. It is just not. It is sad because there are individuals who really merit that kind of honour but this is not going to help. Take someone but this is not going to help. Take someone like mo farah who came over here asa someone like mo farah who came over here as a refugee from a country like somalia and to have risen to the top of his profession, to have worked very hard and to be knighted seems a decent and wonderful thing to do, to take an adopted son and give them a title as part of hours in national life, that is a fantastic thing to do. He is still quite young, though, too, isnt it . It seems like a wonderfully british thing to do, to take him into our ha rd thing to do, to take him into our hard like that. As always with the honours list, names further down the list which dont get the initial burst of attention when they are an ounce, they are not victoria beckham, mo farah, people who are anonymous, and it is the days and weeks after, people go to the bottom of the list and they go, hang on, who is a lord, who will vote on legislation, and we cannot do them out again . Who has been Making Payments to someone to get this . That kind of thing. It always gets like this. People always say, as theresa may said, we must do something and then they get into power and they dont see the reason because then they benefit from handing out something to people who are theirfriends. Handing out something to people who are their friends. It is on the telegraph as well, the st helena airport fiasco. There have been people who have turned them down for various reasons. People who have turned them down for various reasons. You people who have turned them down for various reasons. You know, they dont like The Word Empire Being in the award they were to get. Or they think the whole system needs an overhaul. How do you overhaul its . Is it controversial in france when they give honours . Sometimes it can be. I dont think it has become the fiasco at all that it has become in this country because i seem to remember that every year there are controversial appointments and there is quite a lot of. How can you set about reforming its . You have to ta ke about reforming its . You have to take the Decision Making process away from a very small kabbalah people. Laughter a cold, i dont know, conspiracy. Cult. And what appear to be subjective ideas as to who is right or wrong and who deserves this kind of thing. You have to introduce a public element into all of this cabal. You have to include the criteria and rules for handing things out, you know, Civil Servants reached it when they get to this point, or if you win wimbledon twice a. , world number one. Well, yes, of course. Only because Novak Djokovic has had some personal issues. So, for instance, world number one. Well, she has got it in for you. Or a public element of being able to nominate or contribute somehow to the discussion on whether or not we allow this person to have these kind of honours. I would like to stay with the telegraph for a different story, drinkers push nhs to the brink, with a warning that people going out celebrating, getting worse for work are becoming a drain on the nhs. The head of the nhs says this, simon stephens. Misery guts. You say that, first he says the nhs is the National Hangover service, and he says the nhs basically is another warning, a dire warning, instead of concentrating on Winter Emergencies he is saying these people, who drink too much and abuse alcohol not only abused staff but they are using up a lot of precious resources and this is absolutely intolerable and these people are being selfish and sell centres. Self centred. If he wants to get through to those people, i dont think that is going to be very effective. I dont think they read the daily telegraph. To be very effective. I dont think they read the daily telegraphlj wouldnt they read the daily telegraph. wouldnt say that. Their parents would. Daddy would. Luna if you want to ta ke would. Daddy would. Luna if you want to take drugs, you wont let a newspaper stop you, will you . Probably not. Acute intoxication increase on new years day. 2. 6 times as many cases as usual. The uk has the highest cocaine use in the oecd between 15 34 and the highest rates of gonorrhoea and in the worst six for chlamydia and settlers around the world. And british girls under 15 getting drunk. Syphilis. This doesnt show britain is ahead in mystic selfish mess and our young girls are bringing the nhs to its knees for going out and having a drink, it shows people are not being taught how to do it properly. You dont go out on new years eve because it is amateur night. You go out on new years day when you can go to the bar. You dont want 15 year olds going out to get drunk. They shouldnt be going out to get drunk at all. People go to get drunk because they think they must get drunk. They dont think about drinking and having an enjoyable time, as they do in france. It is a british disease. It is about quantity and not about quality. It is also because instead of drinking and eating, you get less drunk. If you take your time when you are drinking. Yes, jack potato and cheese, kids, before you go out, it works. Jacket cheese, kids, before you go out, it works. Jacket potato. cheese, kids, before you go out, it works. Jacket potato. Idont think the kids are watching. Works. Jacket potato. Idont think the kids are watchingm works. Jacket potato. Idont think the kids are watching. If they are. | think the kids are watching. If they are. I meant over 25. Think the kids are watching. If they are. I meant over25. I didnt drink untili are. I meant over25. I didnt drink until i was 23. You made up for it. I had access to alcohol from a very young age, which might shock certain people. How young or you . Gosh, i think, certain people. How young or you . Gosh, ithink, you know, i had champagne in very small quantities, and red wine, but eight or nine or ten. Watered down . Not if it was very good wine. Never. But it meant that actually around your parents it doesnt become something to hide, and my brother had the same treatment and both of us, it is a small percentage, but it is true, i think it has to do with the fact that it think it has to do with the fact thatitis think it has to do with the fact that it is a forbidden thing, so i think the relationship of many people with alcohol seems to be a little bit distorted. The attitude is you shouldnt do this, it is bad, and you shouldnt enjoy it, the same with sex and stis and drugs, you should teach people to do it in a way that is responsible and intelligent and sane and you use protection when you have sex and when you drink you make sure you a and if you have to do drugs dont go and if you have to do drugs dont go and buy it from someone down the corner. Just be sensible about the way you do these things and then you wont rely on the nhs to pick you up out of the gutter. Not that we condone anything here that is illegal, of course. Do we, ladies . No, we do not. The telegraph are doing well out of us tonight, new year security, ring of concrete police, just come and officers will be here at new year . A lot, as always. More than 2000. Notjust london, in paris, throughout france. 90,000 Police Officers and soldiers, heightened security in germany after the terrorist attack ten days ago. Also in vienna. There are warning. I heard one that there are warnings from the israelis about possible Terrorist Attacks in india, so there is no doubt there is a heightened sense of alert. Across certainly western capitals. I have moved ahead quickly and i have caused confusion in the gallery by leaping ahead to the telegraph. Did you show us the headline . Show us quickly. They have set as well this increased presence will be maintained into next year, isnt it . Yes, the issue isnt so much it is new year it self which make something a terror target, it is the fact that it is a big concentration of revellers and people who are out in the open and they are what is known as a soft target and they are easy to attack with all people coming and going, it is hard to put a Security Ring around, so it is a porous group of people and to cause mass carnage and there is a large body of people you can, you know. Armed police, duke is new and something we will all have to get used to armed police on the tube. It is something we are not used to. Yes, of course, because in france and elsewhere police are routinely armed. That is not the same in the uk. Policing with consent. We will go to the times, which i should have done before, glad you are paying attention in the back, trump side flip luiten, praising russian leaders response to diplomatic row over hacking, which was, we will not expel 35 american diplomats sides with putin. They cant, they could if they wanted to have tit for tat, but they wanted to have tit for tat, but they dont have a good excuse for it, and if russia did expel some diplomats they would find the american Start Publishing the
