a catastrophic fire warning is issued for parts of eastern australia, including sydney, amid record—breaking temperatures following months of severe drought. these are very difficult and trying times. we are now up to day 105 of this bushfire emergency across new south wales and the community really is going to have to stay alert and understand what they are going to do if threatened by fires. the government approves the takeover of uk defence and aerospace specialist, cobham, by an american company. prince philip has spent day in hospital in london, to be treated for what's being described as a pre—existing condition. hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be

bringing us tomorrow. with me are chief sports reporterfor the sun, martin lipton, and broadcaster penny smith. bringing a little bit of festive cheer. sparkle. many of tomorrow's front pages are already in. on the front of the independent, a photo of footballer martin peters, who's died aged 76. he scored for england in their 1966 world cup victory over west germany. peters has made it onto many of the back pages too, with the telegraph's sport section saying ‘goodbye to england's gentleman'. back to brexit on the front of the sunday telegraph which reports that house of commons speaker lindsay hoyle will let big ben bong to mark the uk leaving the eu at the end of january.

the sunday express reports that the us ambassador woodyjohnson has declared brexit will pave the way for the ‘roaring twenties‘ — with wealth reportedly set to flood in from the future uk—us trade deal. the observer leads with claims that the home office has ignored more than 1,400 offers from local councils, including wiltshire, leicestershire and brighton and hove, to house child refugees. and finally, the sunday times is reporting that a six year old girl in south london found a note from chinese prisoners in a box of tesco christmas cards, claiming they've been forced to work against their will. you will take us to the back page of the sunday telegraph. a lovely picture of martin peters who has died. we could still call the trophy

lifted into the wembley sky, july 31, 1966. a couple of his teammates have died in the last few years. five now of the 11 no longer with us. five now of the 11 no longer with us. martin peters was a player who was ten years ahead of his time. a modern style ghosting midfielder, the sort of player that frank lampard came... what do you mean by ghosting? he attacked the ball lay, came into the box lay, beyond the strikers and basically was not picked up by the defence and peters was very good at that. the goal he scored in the 1966 final was a corner that was not clear but he has

scored goals for three of the clubs he played for. it is sad because he is one of the members of one of the greatest sporting days in english history. even i know that we won the world cup in 1966. there are a number of sad things, one is that it is always horrible when someone dies so is always horrible when someone dies so close to christmas because it is such... that time of year anyway. and also that he died of alzheimer's and it slowly robs you of the person you have loved for all those years so you have loved for all those years so that your heart goes out to the family. but also, it is a chance for people like me, who really do not know very much that make a note

bobby moore and we won the world cup in 1966 bobby moore and we won the world cup in1966 and it bobby moore and we won the world cup in 1966 and it is a chance to catch up in 1966 and it is a chance to catch up on history i did not really know about. and revisit the glory days. it isa about. and revisit the glory days. it is a shame he was known condition to see how close we came in 18 months ago to win it. those who were members of that team... with every passing year, the legends become bigger because we have never been able to achieve that. why not? because we have not been good enough. brutally honest. like a lot of places, water everywhere.

enough. brutally honest. like a lot of places, water everywherem enough. brutally honest. like a lot of places, water everywhere. it is a quagmire. it looks incredibly peaceful and if you did not know better, it looks like a pretty picture but it belies the horrible stuff that goes with flooding and it has been relentless. who would have thought that only two years ago we we re thought that only two years ago we were talking about drought and underground aquifers being denuded and here we are with endless floods and here we are with endless floods and rivers bursting their banks and, of course, again, coming up to christmas, a time where people... and the thing, it looks so peaceful, taken on a moment when it looks like it is blue skies... if the wind was blowing you could see the ripples in the water but there is nothing you can do when nature decides to do it

bit. there are issues about talking about floodplains but parts of the country are extremely exposed when it rains and rains and rains and it is going to be an ongoing problem. have the politicians done enough, is the money that? i was reading a fascinating article, because it is going to happen more often, we should flood proof homes if we continue building on floodplains, then going to have to make houses fit for floods. either put them on stilts or have a basement where is the floods go so that there is nothing in effect, a hole which can actually take an overflow for a bit and maybe that is the way to look at this because this is not going to get any easier in the future. this because this is not going to

get any easier in the futurem raises issues for insurance for the poor people who have had these experiences and then find the future is even more challenging. the sunday times, an extra every story. tesco charity cards packed by china prison slaves. a little girl, pictured here, found a rather extraordinary message in the card. it comes from tesco, a charity fundraising selection of cards and in this was a message which was, we are prisoners ina message which was, we are prisoners in a prison in china forced to work against our will. please, in a prison in china forced to work against ourwill. please, help in a prison in china forced to work against our will. please, help us and notify human rights organisations. use the links contact mr peter humphreys. the aforementioned is the author of the article, and he knows a thing or two

because he has spent a couple of years inside this same prison. we should not be surprised that prisoners in countries are used to do things. that is what present work is. the fact that it is coming from china, where we have big questions about human rights abuses, denied emphatically by the chinese government and i am sure we have to believe every word they say, adds to this issue. questions will be asked doubtless of where they source their material... we have tried to get a statement from tesco but, on saturday night, at this time, it is not surprising that have not been able to come back to us. on that note, we issue a slight caveat. but the whole issue of supply chain is a thorny one. you could have somebody from tesco go out to china and say,

we wa nt from tesco go out to china and say, we want these cards, three charities, and who knows all that went out there, show us where they are going to be made an event you go off again. to try and check every single time where your supply chain is coming from must be extraordinarily difficult, nevertheless you have got this man talking about his own situation and he has spent two years in this shanghai jail. he was a corporate fraud investigator. he said they we re fraud investigator. he said they were bogus charges never brought to court. he said no doubt these are prisoners who knew me before my release. a really surprising story that one. staying on the sunday times because i want that london

bridge killer was a danger, a former scotla nd bridge killer was a danger, a former scotland yard officer speaking out about usman khan. a former police sergeant and a muslim was mentoring usman khan and reportedly had a especially rehearsed persona and he became enraged because he was frustrated by the licensing conditions and he also says that, during the meeting, he went from being measured and come to being enraged. he is said to have made this report in his assessment report and heard nothing back. it also says, the home office contacted him immediately after the london bridge terrorist attack. if this is true, and no reason to think it is not,

further questions need to be asked what on earth was going on to allow this man, clearly a danger to people, to be allowed into central london. it will raise a big questions. a couple more to get through. the sunday telegraph, different time. can big men bomb for brea kfast? different time. can big men bomb for breakfast? —— big ben. different time. can big men bomb for breakfast? -- big ben. the new speaker said, if they want and ee, speaker said, if they want and agree, if they want big ben to bond for breakfast, and many people might think it is a bit but on the other day and it is an extraordinary important day. the stash for brexit.

at the very same time, who knows. the 50 p piece will finally come into fruition after a million of them had to be melted down after they got the wrong date, so the new one is being mentored with peace, prosperity and friendship with all nation. joy to the world, a perfect christmas message. you have segway beautifully. we three future kings with the queen mixing a christmas pudding in very smart clothing. with the queen mixing a christmas pudding in very smart clothinglj was pudding in very smart clothing.” was always told you had to do these things months and months in advance.

and no mass. also you need to putting those silver things so that you can break your truth or swallow occasionally. they do look full of ivy. occasionally. they do look full of joy. certainly not any mess in side. it isa joy. certainly not any mess in side. it is a smiling, happy picture and we must not leave the subject of christmas without touching on the cartoon. two men in a pub... one saying to the other, i have not bought any present my only hope is that boris prorogued christmas.”
