hello, this is bbc news. we will be taking a look at tomorrow mornings papers in a moment. first the headlines: the man suspected of the berlin christmas market attack is shot dead in italy, after he was stopped by police in milan in the early hours, outside a train station. that means no trains on many lines this christmas. 90 mph winds are forecast in some parts of scotland, as storm barbara brings power cuts and difficult travelling conditions across the uk, with worse to come. two british men are convicted of using muslim aid convoys from the uk to syria to provide cash for extremists. and the star wars actress carrie fisher is taken to hospital, after a heart attack on board a flight from london to los angeles.

bringing us tomorrow. with me are political commentator james millar and author and journalist matthew green. james has red glitter in his pockets, but has not added it to his beard, sadly, despite promises. tomorrow's front pages: the headline in the i newspaper is isis killer shot dead by rookie. it adds that europe's open—border policy has been blamed for allowing the suspect to flee more than 1,000 miles across three countries. the telegraph also leads on that story. it says counter—terrorism experts are warning that europe's open borders are putting security at risk. the guardian's headline is the end of the manhunt. it says the moroccan authorities had warned germany about the wanted man anis amri. the times has a picture of the body of anis amri under a blanket in a milan street.

it also carries the story of a banking terrorist blacklist which is apparently so useless it includes a three—year—old member of the royal family. the daily mail has some advice for anyone who is feeling unwell over the festive season — postpone christmas. the paper says health chiefs prescribe self—isolation to keep the pressure off casualty units. and the daily mirror says chocolate santas could kill. it reports the co—op has withdrawn them from its shelves, after button batteries were found inside. we will begin with how the guardian is looking at story of anis amri, the man wanted in connection with the man wanted in connection with the berlin christmas market attack. end of the man—hunt, it says. the suspect was killed in a gun battle in milan. questions asked how he could flee across europe, he managed to get into france and italy

travelling by trains, and railway tickets have been found. it has become wearily familiar image, this foil blanket covering the body of a young jihadist who has committed some appalling atrocity in europe, we have seen it in france, germany, belgium, and now this particular individual has come to the end of his run in italy. 0bviously questions are being asked about how he got 3000 miles from germany to milan. but at the same time, bigger question is perhaps for german security forces, who had the suspect under surveillance for six months and let him slip through the net, repeatedly, it seems. and here, the guardian saying morocco had also warned germany and about this tunisian. for my money the guardian's coverage is the best of the bunch, because it has the vital detail that morocco had warned germany about this fellow. he was

jailed in italy for a while, and found his way to germany. it is sort ofa found his way to germany. it is sort of a litany of failure, not least because the germans picked up the wrong guy on monday. although it has to be said the italians are fairly proud of themselves, and obviously with good reason, having caught the fellow. and he shot one of the policemen, and the italian minister has said that italians will be able to have a happy holiday and all italian should be proud of him, fair enough. on the daily express, eu's borders, nigel farage saying the passport free zone helps terrorists launch attacks. there is the option of closing borders. yes, but i think you have to envisage a pretty major emergency to roll back your‘s progress in creating an environment

of open borders, after an attack carried out by one man driving a truck, awful as it was. and i think this is a big challenge, isn't it, for politicians across europe, is to retain a sense of proportionality about these kinds of incidents. it is very interesting to see how germans have handled this. angela merkel took 12 hours before she came out and made a statement after this attack took place, and she has been very measured in her response, obviously walking a tightrope in germany at the moment, trying to make sure that this whirling in support forfar make sure that this whirling in support for far right parties doesn't go any further. but obviously our very own nigel farage is going to be very keen to try to capitalise on an incident like this, and a paper like the daily express, which generally we can rely on to propagate inaccurate and damaging stereotypes about migrants and refugees, is obvious the all too happy to help them. the question is,

of course, what is he trying to achieve? he has achieved it, we have left the eu. and anyway, you have to show your passport when you come into the country. he says there is a risk to public safety from the schengen zone, we are not in the schengen zone, we are not in the schengen zone. the contrast with angela merkel, a proper politician, in power, and she has said everything will be done to look into where the germans went wrong in this case, and the nigel farage is shooting his mouth off to all intents and purposes, i suspect. there will be people who agree with him, on mainland europe, within the eu, there will be concerns. but again, it is that sort of simplistic response, it is a problem with open borders. you are never going to be able to stop every single plot, ever. 100% security just able to stop every single plot, ever. 100% securityjust doesn't exist, and it is a sad reality but if the debate is always framed as a

binary between perfect security, because we are living in a kind of fortress, and being prone to these attacks, we are not going to get very far. it is worth pointing out that this fellow was not one of the immigrants who came into germany in the big wave in the last 12 months. he has been kicking around europe for five years. the daily mail, postpone christmas is the advice. do the nhsa postpone christmas is the advice. do the nhs a favour and don't turn up to the a&e if you are feeling crook. that is always the advice if you have a vomiting bug, don't go to hospital, because even if you feel like it you are going to spread it. health chiefs giving drastic advice, which is if you are ill, stay in bed. but it is a great christmas story, because people are getting

the scribbles, people are getting tired as we get caught doormat near the end of the christmas run, and the end of the christmas run, and the number of people will look at that on christmas eve and think i am feeling well, what do i do about it? and that is something the daily mail specialises in doing. it is a pretty depressing prospect to be told that your prescription is self isolation over the christmas period, but it is the story that we keep returning to again and again. it is the funding of the nhs. and we will in 2017, no doubt. some people will want to postpone christmas, i suspect. may be not because they are unwell, indefinitely for some. an investigation into the chequered database of 2 million high risk individuals, but some of them can't possibly be as high risk as their inclusion would suggest. talking about headlines, this is a headline with the word banks and honest. that

is supposed to catch your attention on the subject is a three—year—old royal and the top historian on the blacklist, which given most people are not three—year—old royal is or top historians, might put them off the story. there is a database of 2 million high risk individuals including criminals and senior politicians, 49 of the world's 50 biggest banks use to carry out compliance checks. i imagine some of these people might be having a quiet word with them, saying to take them off it. but they might not know they are on it, and we are living in that age of surveillance and... we saw a few months ago the government passing the investigative arik powers act, which basically means they can keep a record of all of our internet use —— investigatory. we don't need to be told we are in a fairly draconian state of affairs.

the daily mirror is where we go next. chocolate sa ntas the daily mirror is where we go next. chocolate santas could kill. they have been recalled. according to the daily mirror, because some of them may contain this lithium battery. and james gave a gruesome description of the effect such a battery ca n description of the effect such a battery can have on a young child's oesophagus. i don't exley want you to repeat it, it was disturbing. oesophagus. i don't exley want you to repeat it, it was disturbingm september, an organisation of surgeons put out... they have fairly gruesome examples of kids who had swallowed these batteries. they can burn you, surely. they showed what it does to a piece of ham, strangely enough, and just burned straight through. just by putting it on the ham? something to do with the liquids and batteries. it is a really good news story. the content is horrible, but it has christmas,

and there is a slight mystery to it, it is if you did want to hurt children, this would be a very effective way of doing it. you just wonder if some nasty person out there has done this. how did they get inside? and they have done a bit of public service by putting it on the front page. that santa claus already looked a little bit sinister, whenjuxtaposed already looked a little bit sinister, when juxtaposed with the lithium battery... maybe i amjust paranoid. i think you might be, too much time spent as a correspondent. let's find something a little more cheerful, shall be, to finish on. miranda's mother and bake 0ff. she seems to have said on a chat show that she wouldn't mind presenting it with her mum when it moves to channel 4. given with her mum when it moves to channel4. given that with her mum when it moves to channel 4. given that bake off is

going to be one of, if not the, big tv show on christmas day, why not happen on the front page? it will get people. miranda hart is a national treasure and so is bake off, national treasure and so is bake off, so it would seem a good fit. i don't know anything about her mum, presumably she can bake a bit. a p pa re ntly presumably she can bake a bit. apparently miranda and her mum diana we re apparently miranda and her mum diana were on a charity version of goggle box, and they were very funny together. so that is where this idea has come from. not that she needs to bea has come from. not that she needs to be a fantastic cook, necessarily. you are both much deeper into the weeds of this story than i am at this point, but i do think that it will be and uplifting in the 2016, which has not in the most enjoyable year on many fronts. maybe bake 0ff is the opiate for the masses we need

at this point. isn't the bbc great? there is more to life than reuters and the financial times. we will finish on something else which i haven't seen. here is a festive surprise for you, and i don't mean a scantily clad ellie goulding. forget the scantily clad singer. a last gasp raid on high street. manic manday, as husbands and dad ‘s flood the high streets. they are likely to spend 1 billion quid. james and his partner earlier this year published a book about gender stereotyping. james, what do you think of this as a story? i don't think i can find the words. it is just rubbish, isn't it? it isjust the words. it is just rubbish, isn't it? it is just stupid stereotyping. imean, it

it? it is just stupid stereotyping. i mean, it is the worst of toxic masculinity, is right there. but there is an element of truth in it. let's face it, i did my christmas shopping on christmas eve last year. why? lack of organisation. did christmas come as a surprise to you? it wasn't because of the contents of your pants, or was it? i am not sure thatis your pants, or was it? i am not sure that is a topic for discussion. your pants, or was it? i am not sure that is a topic for discussionm is nothing to do with that. you generally speaking and organised sort of person? this year i have done a betterjob, i have to say. if any of my family are watching... of course they are, they are all watching. you are all sorted, then, are you,james? watching. you are all sorted, then, are you, james? absolutely, i did christmas shopping, i do all the cooking, just because i do, not because i am a man. frantic fellers will blitz shops. i willjust park

myself on the high street and do a little straw poll. it is early to dismiss this story out of hand, but if they do, it is not because of the contents if they do, it is not because of the co nte nts of if they do, it is not because of the contents of their trousers, it is because society has trained them to think that shopping is for women, and therefore christmas is for women. we are victims, at the end of the day! i would so like to carry on. let's take this outside, shall be? that's it for the papers. james, matthew, condiments of the season to you both. we will see you in 317. i am back on 29 december.
