that's for you, for some presence. that's for you, for christmas. there is no safer pair of hands to entrust the precious delivery of christmas present to than those of tottenham goalkeeper, hugo lloris. though, maybe, he wouldn't have been every london fan's number one choice. who do you support? i support arsenal. laughter commentator: first corner of the game. gudmundsson. lloris led france to the runners—up spot at euro 2016 at tottenham to third place last season, their highest league finish for more than a quarter of a century but does he look back on the year as one of success but does he look back on the year as one of success 01’ but does he look back on the year as one of success or missed opportunities? unfortunately, we didn't get the trophy this season. but we have some good runs. spurs fa ns but we have some good runs. spurs fans and the french national team found will be proud for what we did this season. looking ahead to 2017, you look at the premier league table, chelsea ten points clear of totte n ha m table, chelsea ten points clear of tottenham who are fifth, do you
10:41 pm
think realistically the title isn't possible for tottenham this season? the title is not... the main expectation from tottenham. in the premier league it's very competitive but we are nearly there. the gap is reducing every year. we've seen a lot of your team—mates recently signed new contracts and the totte n ha m signed new contracts and the tottenha m fa ns would signed new contracts and the tottenham fans would love to see you do that. do you feel close to extending your stay at tottenham? let's see. let's see what will happen. i tried to do my best. tried to help the team. to achieve some great things. that my motivation everyday. that is my ambition for this season and for the next few seasons. tottenham fans hope hugo lloris will be spreading festive cheer in north london for many years yet. that wakes you up, doesn't it? but it's time for bed. that's all from sportsday. coming up in a moment, the papers.
10:42 pm
hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are lucy fisher, senior political correspondent for the times and commentator henry bonsu. tomorrow's front pages, starting with: the telegraph leads on events in berlin. the paper says the prime suspect for the massacre was under covert surveillance for months as a possible terrorist, until police let him slip through their grasp, earlier this month. anis amri stares from the front of the metro. he's now said to be the most wanted man in europe. the times says the authorities suspected amri of "preparing a serious crime endangering national
10:43 pm
safety" but red tape prevented his deportation. the i says the german authorities are under pressure after a series of blunders in their hunt for the killer. the ft pictures some of the suspect‘s different identities. its main story is that the world's oldest bank is to be rescued by the italian state. the guardian says amri was known to multiple german intelligence agencies. and the sun has a pun on the queen's cold. headline writers at the sun have done better than that i'm afraid. most done better than that i'm afraid. m ost wa nted done better than that i'm afraid. most wanted man in europe, they now have a name and that's the face of their prime suspect in the christmas market truck attack. the terrible thing is that he's had such a long head start in escaping after the
10:44 pm
german authorities held the wrong man overnight. amir anis. tunisian failed asylum seeker. turns out he's the master of disguise, already with six aliases, posing as a migrant from three different nations. he is clearly very... practised at hiding his identity. yeah. yeah. henry, the fa ct his identity. yeah. yeah. henry, the fact is, as lucy points out, this man has had 2a hours, more than that, now, to evade capture. the german admitted that they got the wrong person. yes. to begin with. and, clearly, there are a hell of a lot of questions the german authorities had got to answer in relation to this man. because he was on their radar. and he's now on our radar. because they hell of a lot is known about him. usually, when we have the rest or the killing of a suspect when it came to the paris attacks a year or so ago, we get all
10:45 pm
this information once the person has been killed or captured but we are getting all this while this guy is still on the run. we know he was in an italian jail for four years and he managed to get into germany under angela merkel's "open door policy". they had him on their radar and let him slip through their grass, the difficulty seem to be the red tape. then it needed be sure where he was from and that tunisia would accept him. with the surveillance powers, the agent undercover in the tunisian — germany community or "islamist" pa rt of — germany community or "islamist" part of the bellerin community or if he's gone across the border into the netherlands in that community —— pa rt of netherlands in that community —— part of the berlin community. it would appear at the german security services that they may not have the capacity to get on top of this. people are making comparisons with this country and the way we do things. that is unfair. difficulties they face very difficult different to us on this island which we have
10:46 pm
been doing for many years. this man has had a head start. we know a huge amount about him but he is a man of many faces. many faces. front page of the daily telegraph. the metro has a big headline and a big picture of the man but the telegraph is a lot more detail. you talked about that, henry. lucy, the telegraph goes on to say that the authorities in germany couldn't deport him back to tunisia because he didn't have a passport. they asked the tunisian authorities for a passport and the passport arrived yesterday. authorities for a passport and the passport arrived yesterdaylj authorities for a passport and the passport arrived yesterday. i know. so many sliding doors scenario. minute margins of time and circumstance. the fact he was under covert su rveilla nce circumstance. the fact he was under covert surveillance by the german authorities for so many months, it is awful to think he was on their radar‘ was involved in a robbery in a park and a bar brawl, never arrested. what would he have done to merit a four year sentence in italy? four sentence in every any european
10:47 pm
country, but to get that, you need to have done something serious. you need information share but a lack of it between european countries. europol is meant to share this information. is seems not to have been done. we saw the same thing last year with what happened in france. that's true. as you say, the problem is, sometimes you that when european authorities tried to deport them but if the home country doesn‘t want to ta ke if the home country doesn‘t want to take them back or doesn‘t accept they are of that nationality or origin, that can become difficult. today, there is this detail that the passport had just arrived for him to go back. maybe that affected his timing that he went and perform this atrocity before he knew he was about to be kicked out of germany. atrocity before he knew he was about to be kicked out of germanym atrocity before he knew he was about to be kicked out of germany. if you area to be kicked out of germany. if you are a host country and there is a possibility that you can deny that this man actually is a citizen of this man actually is a citizen of this country... masi you‘re not going to want him. why would you wa nt going to want him. why would you want this guy back in this country?
10:48 pm
we are assuming most of this is true. remember, 24 hours ago we thought it was a pakistani person. we still need to put that note of caution in. but apparently, he is a supporter of the people behind the sousse terrorist attack which killed over 30 british people 18 months ago. close links to a terror network. you‘d think that in the interconnected world that we live in that these kinds of barriers might have been sorted out. you would think so. but one of the things about germany, it prides itself, post—war, on being very... about germany, it prides itself, post-war, on being very... you know germany. i've been to germany many times, burning, munich, frankfurt. germans pride themselves on being very open, tolerant. which is why the extreme right has never gone beyond a few percentage points. like in france. they don't want the christmas market and the places where they gather in the centre of their squares to be corralled with heavy masonry, with gun toting
10:49 pm
police officers. people are saying this is the new normal, we've got to change. i've went to westminster and it was noticeable, the uptake of police present even in london. that is the new reality, as you say. changing the guard as well. roads blocked off on the entrances. changing the guard as well. roads blocked off on the entrancesm changing the guard as well. roads blocked off on the entrances. it is unthinkable. what is the most crazy, weird, unusual, outlandish thing that anyone can think of and you can be sure that some crazy person he wants to kill people will think of it. lucy mentioned earlier that this man was a master of disguise. multiple identities. front page of the financial times. four mugshots of him looking very different. in all of them. what right, he‘s got quite a fat chow hall look. very gaunt and thin on the one next to him. six different aliases. three different nationalities. tracking
10:50 pm
this man will be difficult. but what we have been talking about, how you have cross—border intelligence and security that joins up have cross—border intelligence and security thatjoins up all the dots. european court rules, indiscriminate uk mass surveillance law to be illegal, lucy. it's very interesting, the timing of this judgment given that we have just had this terror attack. the ec] has ruled against this law that would allow the home office, the government, to keep the internet records and phone records of british citizens for 12 months. if you suspect someone citizens for 12 months. if you suspect someone of being involved in crime or serious crime or terror, instead of asking the authorities onwards looking to keep records, you can look back at what they‘ve been looking at online or the website, not every web page but the general domain names. and the people they‘ve beenin domain names. and the people they‘ve been in contact with. this has been ruled illegal because it is so indiscriminate. the idea it is not targeted, you should not have these net trawls of data that affect every
10:51 pm
uk citizen when there is no suspicion. when you look at some of the departments that would have access to this, things like the food standards agency, the gambling commission, you do think, as a british citizen, what i want these people looking at it? what's going on? it's one thing, an author body institution having access to this data but what about the individuals in those organisations, are they incorruptible? in those organisations, are they incorru ptible ? we in those organisations, are they incorruptible? we have seen cases of police officers when they are upset with journalists, police officers when they are upset withjournalists, a police officers when they are upset with journalists, a journalist was investigating a police department and a police officer used his access to go after the generalist. it is the indiscriminate nature of this mass surveillance that the ec] is exercised about? that's right. one of the most fascinating details about this case is that it was originally brought by david davis, tory mp while on the backbenches, he was a champion of civil liberties. but as of civil liberties. david
10:52 pm
davis spartacus. but he quietly withdrew from the action and kept a low profile. exactly. this is not going to matter when we leave the european union. it might do. final paragraph says that this decision will pose a problem for london as eu rules, bear in mind we have been talking about terrorism, do not allow exchange of personal data with countries that do not comply with its privacy regime. if we continue with this, after 2020, we have left european union but it might not have, we might not be able to get the europol type thing. have, we might not be able to get the europoltype thing. do have, we might not be able to get the europol type thing. do you have, we might not be able to get the europoltype thing. do you know something we don‘t? have you got a hotline to theresa may? no. there we are. all right, let's go on to the daily. this made all of us, all of our ears prick up when we heard this, the health scare for the queen and prince philip. it's amazing, really. for me, this idea that she had a heavy cold which stopped her
10:53 pm
going to sandringham, they do this every year. it just shows that given the queen is 90 and prince philip is 95, it shows how ready they get ill. public servers, all the travelling they do, all the people they have to meet and come across the germs that might be transmitted quite resilient. all those little kids with posies! lucy! that‘s a horrible thing to say! a bit of diversity might help the jean paul. thing to say! a bit of diversity might help the jean paul. what's wrong with thejean paul? might help the jean paul. what's wrong with the jean paul? i'm not saying that. -- what's wrong with the gene pool? they are both unwell. this train from king 's lynn, they get driven to king's lynn from buckingham palace. the armed protection. and then all the way up to sandringham. yeah. they will make another decision tomorrow, maybe. if they've got over it a bit they will go. it could be as late as christmas eve. but it‘s a big thing. that‘s
10:54 pm
when i head off to the west country or the midlands. i go to manchester. you go to manchester. they go to norfolk, the family get together and it is important. absolutely. to miss that would be a shame. a day or two ago, the queen quietly disengaged. not quietly, because it was reported by nicholas witchel quietly. that's hisjob. by nicholas witchel quietly. that's his job. thanks, nick. by nicholas witchel quietly. that's hisjob. thanks, nick. she's dropped 25 charities that she was patron of. she will no longer be a patron. those patronises will go to some of the other members of the family. —— those patronises the advisers to theresa may are almost as much as she does. fiona milland nick almost as much as she does. fiona mill and nick timothy, they are both on £140,000 per year, we have learned today, only 6% less than the prime minister herself on round about 149. i have been digging
10:55 pm
around today in all the records. i was interested to find that there are 400 civil servants who earn more than 150 k per year. i always thought the civil service was a bit less well than that. as you reach the top earner. is that a case of oui' the top earner. is that a case of our civil servants and special advisers earning too much or the prime minister earning too little? that‘s a good question. prime minister earning too little? that's a good question. the prime ministerand that's a good question. the prime minister and too little. david cameron in an act of mea culpa cut down the salary from 160 or so to 145. but the president of the united states and about $400,000, post brexit is about... 300 p! that was a joke, not a statement! it was a joke! it's over, it's over! what are you trying to say? maybe the prime minister, considering the responsibility... have come a bunch of mps haven‘t complained about
10:56 pm
this? because they want a pay rise. they are about to award themselves a pay rise. 10%, isn't they are about to award themselves a pay rise. 1096, isn't it? they are coming ontojust pay rise. 1096, isn't it? they are coming onto just under £75,000. pay rise. 1096, isn't it? they are coming ontojust under £75,000. some mps called me about this case today. mps called me about this case today. mps are unhappy there are 17 advisers in number ten who are earning more than them on their basic pay. they think that‘s a bit unfair. not necessarily the top people like the chief of staff but when you go down the grade and you‘ve got right when you go down the grade and you've got right people advising london and what haircut to have. you've got right people advising london and what haircut to havem isa london and what haircut to havem is a privilege of doing yourjob, being a public servant in the most direct way. that's what i should have told them. that's exactly what you should have said. thank you both for looking at the papers. you will be back in about 50 minutes. do it all again. looking at the headlines again and some of the other ones will have come in. many, many thanks to you and thanks to you for
