hello. this is bbc news. i'm martine croxall. we'll be taking a look at tomorrow morning's papers in a moment. but first, the headlines: three british tourists, including a child, have died after their vehicle crashed while crossing a bridge in iceland. four others have been critically injured. four in ten nhs hospitals in england have put up their parking fees in the last year. the new data shows that in some places, charges have doubled. britain's most senior police officer says a ‘no—deal‘ brexit would potentially put the public at risk. a growing number of local councils have been buying shopping centres to try to revitalise their towns. crippen hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing us to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. we thus benedicte paviot, it the uk correspondence

france 2a and president of the foreign press association and anna isaac, economic correspondent at the daily telegraph. many of the papers are already in, as you would hope. the telegraph reports on comments by the former head of uk immigration enforcement, he says the uk will stop rescuing and landing migrants who cross the channel or the uk risks what they call a humanitarian crisis. the times says that britain is viewed as a soft touch because they are too busy with brexit to make sure that the border is policed. the financial times reports on the £3 billion given to a french infrastructure group, despite the havoc caused by last week's drone sightings. the daily express said

the commissionerfor the sightings. the daily express said the commissioner for the eu's sightings. the daily express said the commissionerfor the eu's budget has warned that the european union must be prepared for the uk to leave without paying all of the money agreed in the so—called divorce settlement. the daily star says it is the end of winter. the paper says the government is considering ditching daylight savings time. let's start with the times and one of the several immigration stories, andi of the several immigration stories, and i will hand over to you injust one second, while i go away and coal. cross—channel migrants target soft touch britain, too distracted by brexit to take care of the borders, benedicte. yeah, so this is the times really saying that there isa the times really saying that there is a real problem because these cross—channel migrants are targeting quote, soft touch britain, and yes, that they are being distracted by what is happening is that the authorities have only two votes apparently. one casa is operational in the channel, along with two coastal patrol vessels and that is

because they are indeed, it says the times, too distracted by not only brexit but the treatment of the windrush generation migrants. —— cutter. and that what is really, if this continues like this, mps and charities are warning that the tragedy of fatalities are inevitable. and elsewhere, we are getting a warning from the former immigration official that says if you keep picking people up in the channel and rescuing them, itjust encourages more to tie the journey. yes, so we still have in our minds very vividly the images we first saw when we first saw images of migrants and refugees coming towards mediterranean shores, terrible images of young children washed up on italian beaches. -- to try the journey. while the situation is still relatively small, we are seeing thing is that i completely unsuitable for openness is being used across one of the biggest busiest shipping routes in the

world. there is this fear that because they are very small comparatively, they have risen a lot recently, despite the fact that this isa very recently, despite the fact that this is a very difficult time of year to be making this crossing. we might by having proper policing and rescue missions, make it more lucrative for smugglers to sell this route to people who are desperately keen to get to the uk. yeah, just shows the risks that people will take. yeah, i mean some of these people are extremely desperate in the sense that some of them will be economic migrants, let's be honest about that, but other people will be genuinely fleeing situations that they are so desperate that they are prepared to put their lives in danger. now, the problem is that britain has been a huge magnet has been perceived by quite a few of those people as being a soft touch, a simple fact, in france, you must at all times carry an identity document with you, whoever you are, whether you are french foreign, it

is not the point. whereas in britain, you do not have that legal obligation before they know, they have other people who have made it to the once in the country, you can melt away and of course, we know that there are children in some of these things, and so there is real concern there and i think that with brexit coming along, that perhaps these people are being encouraged to ta ke these people are being encouraged to take this extraordinary risk is because they know that, well, they think they know, it depends what happens with the policing and border control, that the controls will be tougher. the guardian has another border related story, police struggling to stop a rise in illegal gun imports to the uk. it is new, clea n gun imports to the uk. it is new, clean guns that seem to be coming in an ever growing numbers. so what is happening here is a strange new route emerging thanks to a new addiction to parcels, so whereas you traditionally would go to the high street, another sort of amazon e—commerce effect means that the volume of parcels entering the uk,

being processed in the uk has rocketed, that means that if you wanted to say send a gun from the eastern balkans, you would strip it down into parts and it is much easier for those parts then to pass through uk customs, parcel scanning is not up to the pace we need to get a big enough sample of those parcels coming into the uk, is what you have is this new frontier of guns that can be clean, that will not have been recycled to lots of crimes, which was the traditional mode of guns changing hands on the black market. now we have fresh comes at are hard to trace entering the uk. and requires a huge amount of personnel to do the checking. and requires a huge amount of personnel to do the checkingm does, you have got to train them up when you do not train people like that overnight. so it is interesting because these are organised crime gangs were using these, you are innovating, using their intelligence and expertise to find new ways and

routes to get past what actually quite strict controls in the united kingdom and past border defences, which is interesting because until recently, it in these new routes and innovation, britain was seen particularly post dunblane as being quite, not as continental europe is, with guns, after the breakup of the soviet union and also yugoslavia. you will remember an unsolved murder, an arm that reportedly came from the former yugoslavia. eu panic at no deal brexit that, the idea that britain will not pay the £39 billion exit fee and that would create a black hole in the budget for the remaining eu 27. well, it is the daily express and there is no eu panic, or you panic

the daily express and there is no eu panic, oryou panic if the daily express and there is no eu panic, or you panic if you want to, thatis panic, or you panic if you want to, that is a play on words. although it is not a laughing matter, so when it talks about a boost for mrs may's plan, as brussels fears budget black hole if we, the uk, do not pay it exit fee, no. the fact of the matter is that this is a sum of money that has come way down comparatively to what was initially, and that is actually to pay for things that united kingdom, as do an existing eu member, has committed itself to and programmes that it committed itself to. —— as steel. are you the eu panic in? continental, the rest of the eu 27? i do not think so. —— panicking. has the mission at said something about it? other eu making any plans to consider this possible not very nice scenario of mrs may not very nice scenario of mrs may not getting hurt many vote through,

whether it is the 15th of january or whenever and the united kingdom crashing out? yes. there is another problem from our britain looks to the rest of the world this build does not get paid. that is absolutely it, getting reputation as absolutely it, getting reputation as a country for not paying your bills is very damaging. it is the sort of thing that trashes a credit rating, when moody 's, the very famous credit rating agency, have come out and they have said previously that if the uk does not pay its bill has agreed in full, it will have a negative impact on the uk's credit rating, and what that does is it makes a national borrowing costs more expensive in the backdrop of an economic slowdown worldwide at the moment, and pretty dire predictions for the next couple of years ahead, our own costs are already going to become much more expensive. do not pay bill and to exacerbate that would be very, very bad news for the uk. -- to would be very, very bad news for the uk. —— to not. would be very, very bad news for the uk. -- to not. that is what some brexiteers are really pushing mrs may to do. corbyn challenges mrs may

to recall parliament early, jeremy corbyn thinking that they should not have such a long christmas recess. yes, it is a shame he has decided to say this now, rather than saying a few weeks ago because it seems like it would be rather difficult to move the parliamentary timetable at such short notice and i think a bit of a problem here is it smacks of a situation we have a divided party on one hand, with the tories, but also a divided opposition at the same time, and this, given that they know the mathematics of a no—confidence vote in mrs may's leadership is not stack up, this seems a bit of a week reached towards trying to gain some sort of upper hand or some momentum, some oomph from the labour side in this wider brexit debate, but i think the idea of centre calling parliament back a week earlier as though it will suddenly change the narrative is a tough sell. yeah, the vote due to take place at the beginning of the week of the 1a. vote due to take place at the beginning of the week of the 14. we think will be on the 15th. i mean,

the point is that as you say, this smacks really being reheated because he was not at all impressed, as a lot of mps were not impressed, as they were sent out till midday or late on monday to assure the media and the british public that that meaningful vote would take place on the tuesday, and of course all media organisations, british and otherwise, all geared up to do. and then we know what happens, the no—confidence vote on wednesday. of course, mrs may one despite the point is that in order to parliament, mps do have some of a private life, whether it was bringing or anna soubry or others, they made this very point, it is i think after the various votes, etc, is not impossible but i do not think it is very likely, and i do not think mps would appreciate since this was not dealt with at the time, for this to happen next week. ——

justine greening. so put all of your energy, mr corbyn, if that is what you want, when parliament is due back on the seventh of january, but it isa back on the seventh of january, but it is a way of being on the front page of the independent. daily mail, a phone in everyjail cell for inmates, so much for punishment. the daily mail clearly does not agree with this is an idea, what is the thinking? the thinking is that this could help cut reoffending at the cost of £17 million. so every prisoner would be given a telephone in their cell, is the important point, because inmates had to queue to communal phones. this leaves the friction and violence, we're told, and experts tell is that, as well as and experts tell is that, as well as a booming trade illicit mobile phones. so what, the contrast is that at the moment, about 20,000 phones and sim cards are confiscated each year. —— tell us. and i have to say without going into detail, that it would seem that prisoners have all kinds of ways of hiding them. we

will skip over that, use your imagination if you wish to. it yes, you are right, some people sayjust a moment, you go to prison you get these kinds of privileges. —— but yes. one has got to look at how you bring people back into society. is it wise to cut them off? as we are talking about earlier, is the purpose of prison rehabilitation will not? i think this has to be looked at because the buildings themselves, they are awash with jones taking in drugs, prison guards underpaid and unhappy. —— drones. jones taking in drugs, prison guards underpaid and unhappy. —— dronesm is about trying to keep people connected to their families. it is, and this is a bit of a rerun of the argument. we regularly have the stories about what is and is not appropriate in prison, but we have to remember that this is a rerun about the 2014 brough about spend at imprisons. chris grayling tried to ta ke imprisons. chris grayling tried to take a very tough stance on the books that prisoners had access to.

these ideas about education and mental—health, these ideas about education and mental— health, we had these ideas about education and mental—health, we had a story yesterday about having animals within prisons, prisoners were given a duty to care for a pair of goats and this was meant to be part of the learning responsibility, learning different forms of interaction things like this. in abstract, all of these things can sound very strange and mike privileges, but the problem is if we know this and whose behaviour, in the same way that experimenting with educational techniques in schools and whose behaviour, and makes for better working environment for the people have to look after these offenders, we the asked the question if it is what works, then we have to change what works, then we have to change what we can stomach in terms of we view punishment and rehabilitation generally. that's it for the papers tonight. don't forget you can see the front pages of the papers online on the bbc news website. it's all there for you seven days a week at bbc.co.uk/papers. and if you miss the programme any evening, you can watch it later on bbc iplayer. a big thank you to my guests this evening, benedicte paviot from france 24, and anna isaac from the telegraph. and from all of us, goodnight. and happy new year when it comes.

indeed. 2019. it's the 2018 clickmas special, the gang is all here. hello! welcome, welcome. spence, i've got your first christmas present and what a corker it is. this is the world's first flexible phone. look at that! you can have it on this way or around here and itjust flips, it knows which way you are holding it and it's built on android. this is a brand—new operating system on top of it called water and it's built by a small chinese form called royale, you might not have

heard of it. it is the first phone they're released. there you go. the idea is you have a tablet you can use or you can fold it into a phone. you can work as on a tablet or fold it back to a phone. when can we get this? it's a good question. if you're in china, in the shops from 2019 to start off. online, obviously. just order from a chinese shop and you can get one delivered to your door, but as far as europe and america and other parts of the world, probably 2020 when they get some of the regulations in place for those markets. wow, give it a bend again. look at that, beat that. very nice, but i was a bit worried that it wouldn't fit in your pocket 'cause your pockets don't look that big so i've got you the world's smallest smartphone. oh, my goodness — it's so diddy. this is made by palm,

better known back in the 19905, but have a play with it, it's cute. it will go into my pocket. my goodness, it's so cute. you think that's a small phone, spenc, merry christmas. oh, my word. what, no. it's a tiny, tiny telephone. this is the zanco tiny t1, a 2g phone, the world's smallest phone, no internet, you can do some text messaging and calls. want some stats? yes, please. 50 text messages you can store on there, 300 contacts. my goodness, it's like the ‘90s but really, really tiny. hello? it's the police for you, dan. apparently you've gotten yourself into some hot water. ted! what's going on?

dan, you are enjoying my hot tub? nice feature. i don't think that's standard, that one. i think it's been hacked. what do you mean? this hot tub is on the internet like thousands of others in the country. let me introduce you to the guys hacking it. there is andy in glasgow. hi, andy. hi! it looks cold up there. very windy. so andy, to prove you can take remote control, turn the pumps off. look, no hands. that's the blower. now the pumps. and they're off. and we didn't touch a thing.

andy, thanks very much for the fountains, i think you owe me a glass of champagne. merry christmas! so ken, can we hack somebody else's hot tub? we can hack thousands of these tubs anywhere in the world. who are they? they live here. so let's go look at kerry's hot tub in south wales, he tipped us off about this. hello, kerry. how are you? boys, hack it. oh, yes. nice work, guys, nice work. so how does it work? well, there's not enough security on the mobile application that you control the hot tub with. because these are online. that's right. and there isn't even a username or password to the tub so it doesn't check that you are you. the fact that its online and there is no authentication means we don't know who is trying to control whose hot tub. but how do they work out which one to attack? so, the only address you need is that of the wireless card

inside the tub type and believe it or not, you can find those addresses on online war—driving databases like wiggle, which is a free source of information. that's public? yep, anyone can call in there. they can work out your hot tub, where it is and if you are in it or not, because the pumps will be on. in a statement to click, balboa water group, whose app connects to hot tubs, said... wow, hacking hot tubs. no—one wants their hot tub hacked. least of all the company. they didn't see that one coming. no, they did not. we did that as a bit of fun for christmas. but there is a serious point to it which is that this year, we are going to get stuff that connects to the internet more than ever and if you don't take security seriously, then the companies that are providing these products, it seems to ask that they might not be taking security seriously either. so what do we do when we unravel our internet of things things? just once, read the manual change the password, don't leave it to the default setting because you will be more secure and it is important because once you get through to one of these products,

you could get through to one or another or another. then it could be your computer that they get in. do it, or turn your bubbles off. this is a boeing 747 flight simulator. it has the latest computer—generated visuals and it's been painted to look like heavy metal band iron maiden'sjumbojet ed force one. why? because it's owned by iron maiden's lead singer bruce dickinson who is himself a trained commercial pilot. the question is, can i learn to fly one of these in under an hour? that might depend on the quality of teaching. and it looks like my like my instructor has turned up. yes, it is iron maiden's bruce

dickinson, an absolute aviation nut who liked being a pilot so much, he bought the company. cardiff aviation maintains aircraft and trains pilots. walkie, walkie, walkie across the magic drawbridge into...another world. he has 6,500 hours of commercialflying experience. he is taking us up... away we go. ..and i'm bringing us down. what is it about flying that you really love? ok, look out the window. look out the window. 0k. it appealed notjust to the closet engineer in me but it also appealed to the kind of romantic artist in me as well because you get some odd things when you're flying across the sunset, and the darkness is curling over the top

of the plane like a tunnel, and it'sjust this incredible metaphysical moment. it's symbolic, that you are above light in the dark. it is getting closer to the mind of god. you know i have a feeling that i've just been sung to. time for me to learn where everything is and everything does. turn that knob left, until it comes to 270. look at the window, we are banking left somewhat. you are commanding the aeroplane to bank left. no way, i had no idea this is how you fly a jumbo jet, by twiddling these knobs. select flaps five. flaps five, captain. jolly good. ditto, you're getting the hang of this. iam. do what you say immediately. you have to be a certain disposition to be a captain

because when they come over the intercom, they sound calm and professional, that's part of the training, isn't it? i have no idea? i secretly think they're (bleep) themselves. theyjust don't let on. flaps ten, please. flaps ten. thank you very much. finally, night falls, with the press of a button in the simulator, and it's time for me to try and land the beast. so you're flying it. so that's telling you to go left a little bit. left a little bit. just follow the magenta line. the clue is, don't fixate on looking out the window. you will cock it up. excellent, you are absolutely spot on on the left—right.. just down a bit, there you go, excellent. oh, my goodness. excellent. you are really close to the runway, you are really tight so these directions are going to be timely and precise. simulator: 100.

just a couple of things but that the line... 100, 40, 30, 10. there you go. getting the nose gently into the runway. oh, ladies and gentlemen! welcome to heathrow. terminal 666. landing ajumbo in, how quick was that? anyway, that's it for this year's clickmas special. thank you so much for watching. thank you, guys, you for being brilliant to work with for another year. we have one more present for you. if you weren't in the audience of our recent click live show, next week you can see it on tv. from us to you. and from all of us, merry clickmas! merry clickmas! cheers! hello. good evening. nothing too

dramatic in our forecast for the next few days. there will be some contrast. some of us will see more sunshine than others. others will get a little rain. as we start tomorrow morning there is likely to be cloud, mist, and fog around. it should turn brighter for some as the day wears on. a bit of rain moving through scotland through the first pa rt through scotland through the first part of tomorrow morning. that should clear away. further south, cloud, southern parts likely to see dense fog patches for a time. it could cause some travel problems. it will struggle to break through the day. for northern england, northern ireland, and scotland we should see sunshine. 9— 11 degrees. as we go through friday night we will see these large areas of cloud, misty,

murky, damp conditions at times. then rain sweeps in across northern ireland and scotland by the end of the night, turning quite windy. temperatures generally holding up quite nicely. into the weekend, a lot of dry and cloudy weather. some rain in the north where it will be windy. it remains mild, 12—13. that is all for now. good night. this is bbc news. i'm lucy grey. our top stories: the senate stands adjourned until 10am on monday, december 31. the partial us government shutdown goes on after congress meets and adjourns within minutes — it will now continue into next week. another rollercoaster day on the global stock markets but wall street stages a furious late rally to close up 250 points. protesters clash with police in the east of the democratic republic of congo, as the election is postponed again in parts of the country.

the outgoing president tells the bbc the delay is because of an ebola outbreak. on the day that people were supposed
