Hello.

There. You're watching the Press Preview. A first look at what's on the front pages as they arrive in the next half hour. We'll see what's making the headlines with the Daily Mirrores political editor John Stevens, and the barrister and former government minister, Anna Suubi, welcome both. Let's see what is on some of those front pages. The Guardian reports on hope. The ceasefire in Gaza will hold as the third exchange of prisoners and hostages takes place. That's also the lead for the FT, which says Hamas must find dozens of hostages if the truth is to be extended. The Metro leads with the passing of the former England manager, Terry Venable, with the headline, Farewell Tell. That's also on the front page of The Star, which says the Three Lions legend dies at the age of 80. His death is also the main story for the son, which says he was one tale of a fella. The I-newspaper says millions are facing higher taxes after being dragged into a higher rate. The mail leads with the march against anti-Semitism saying no war cries, no angry chance, just solidarity with the UK's fearful Jews. And a reminder that by scanning the QR code that you'll see on screen during the program, you can check out the front pages of tomorrow's papers while you watch us.

We are joined tonight by John and Anna Subri. Again, welcome both. Let's start with The Guardian, the front page, hopes that Israel and Hamas troops can hold as third exchange takes place. Of course, the third exchange of hostages and prisoners has taken place, but the deadline for this particular troops to end would be Tuesday morning, unless it's extended. Anna, what do you make of it?

To be honest with you, I don't know what to make of all of this, but The Guardian says it looks like the truth can hold. This is obviously coming from, understandably, from what America seems to be saying. Obviously, all of us hope that the truths could hold because we want these hostages to be released. I have to tell you the thing I take away from this Guardian story is what Netanyahu says, and he says, We're continuing until the end, until victory. Nothing will stop us. I don't know what is victory. I think that is one of the things that certainly concerns me, because is victory going to be the release of all the hostages because there's a hell of a lot more still to be released? Or is victory getting rid of Hamas? Is it taking over on gas, or is it bombing the place to smithereen?

Because, of course, among the hostages are many soldiers, which if we look at past negotiations for Gilad-Shaleed, who was a soldier released years ago, I think they had to release 1,000seven Palestinian prisoners. I think that's going to be drawn out. What have you made of the article?

There are some amazing stories we've had in the last few days that today we obviously had that four-year-old girl, the US-Israeli dual national, Abigail Eden, who was released. And her story is just absolutely horrific. She was the little girl who she saw her parents shot and killed in front of her, and her other sibling were hiding in the wardrobe. And you just think it's been 50 days now since those awful attacks at the start of October. This little girl was three when she was captured. Just imagine being a little three-year-old girl separated from your siblings and your parents, and then you come out and you find out that you're never going to see your parents again. And we can talk about the geopolitics, we can talk about the joy of people being able to see their relations again. But that is just going to be something that totally scars her for the rest of her life. And you think, as Anna said, there were 240 people who we think were taken hostage. And we've had... How many we had out about now? Is it 39?

I think it's about 57. If you take in the foreign nation as well, it's about 57. I did the maths and it's about 57. There's an awful lot.

More than that. There's an awful lot still in there who have been through to absolutely torture.

When it comes to the little children, we have no idea how they were taken care of because taking care of a three-year-old is not easy. So we don't know what happened to these children. But speaking about the release of further hostages, the EFT deals with it in its front page. So let's look at the front page of the EFT. Hamas must find dozens of hostages if truth is to be extended, says Qatar. Qatar, of course, with Egypt and the US, one of the countries are trying to arrange the negotiations. What is the problem highlighted by the EFT here?

Yeah, so as you say, Qatar has been very important in negotiating these troops and negotiating to get some of these hostages released. As we say, about 49 of the 240 have so far been released. They've been releasing women and children. But the concern that is raised by the Prime Minister of Qatar in this FT piece is they think there's about 90 women and children who are taken in total. This is about another 40 to be still come out. And the concern is that those 40 aren't being held by Hamas. They've actually been held by other groups. We know that when the fence was breached on October the seventh that it wasn't just Hamas who were going across, it was other militant groups. And so as much as Hamas is a terrorist organization, they have been able to be brought to the table. There have been intermediaries that we have seen people who are being held by them released. But the concern from this article is that those other 40 are not being held by Hamas. They don't know exactly where they are. And so in order for this truth to continue, the scenario that's been put forward is that for every 10 Israelis that are released, the truths to be extended by a day.

But the concern being raised by Kestah here is there might be the desire to extend this truths, but they just might not be able to find 10 more people a day to be able.

To let out. Yeah, and you see, I'm cynical. I mean, is Hamas saying this? Because the truth is that a large number of those hostages are actually dead. Which in fact they.

Have said that. But they've also said that some of them have died because of Israeli bombardments. That's something that they've claimed. There's no way of verifying this, obviously.

I'm deeply cynical about anything Hamas says. Is this a convenient excuse because the truth is that they murdered these other people as well? Or is it? Is it actually true? And this shows that they don't have the control over Gaza. It's not that people would want them to have, but it shows that actually there are other groups of people who we have even less knowledge of and certainly won't come to any negotiate. They won't go to Qatar and talk sensibly to Qatar about how do we release these people. So just this whole thing is... Every way you look at it, I just think it's nightmare-ish. I mean, it's joyful that people are finally going home. But the overall picture, I think, is a nightmare. And I think, as we have talked before, none of us know what the end game is. Most of all, Net and Yahoo and his dreadful government, they don't know what the end game is either.

Let's focus back here in the UK, front page of The Daily Mail. It's about the anti-Semitism march in London. Today, no war cries, no angry chants, just solidarity with the UK's fearful Jews. Here it says 100,000 march against anti-Semitism. Other figures were around 60,000, 70,000, but certainly an enormous number of people and some very high-profile faces as well.

Yeah, one of the things that we have seen in this country has been the concerning rise of both anti-Semitism and Islamophobia, and that there have been people who have just wanted to bring poison into our country and into our debate. We saw that idiot, Tommy Robertson, today being arrested on the March again, trying to inflame tensions. They just want to take advantage of this. And clearly those people today were there standing firmly and saying that we don't want to see anti-Semitism in our country. And I think you look at the figures in October this year, there were 554 reports of anti-Semitic offenses, and that compares to just 44 in the same period last year. There's been a massive rise in this, and I think it is good that people are willing to stand up and say, We don't want that in this country.

Quite right. And before all of this happened, there was this rise in anti-Semitism. And I always remember going out canvassing, campaigning in part of London, where it's large Jewish population. This is about two or three years ago, and talking to ordinary Jewish people on their doorsteps who were telling me that they had never felt as frightened, as intimidated, that they couldn't go to shul in the way that they had done. And this was a genuine fear that had not existed at that level, on that scale, even before all of what's happened in Gaza. And it's real. And Britain's Jews feel very much under threat in a way they haven't for many, many decades.

There's a lot of stories of many Jewish people not wearing anything that would identify them as Jewish, whether it's a leperhendon with the Star of David or.

A skullcap or lots of stories like that. But that had... This is not new, but it is now even worse.

Yeah, they're talking about a tenfold increase of anticipated crimes, incredibly worrying, but a massive turnout in the March, which was overwhelmingly, obviously peaceful after Tommy Robinson was sent away. Now let's go to the Metro, page seven, A hug of pure joy. This is again, the story of a little girl. Anna, tell us.

About this. This is a remarkable story for many reasons. Thomas Hand, who is Emily's father, you might remember, believed that Emily was dead. Then he found out that she was being held as a hostage. That terrible dilemma to almost, because he thought she was dead, she was mauled, and then he found that she was a hostage. Anyway, she's no longer a hostage. She is Israeli, Irish citizen, and she's home, and it's glorious, isn't it? But 50 days in a tunnel.

Welcome back. You're watching the Press preview with me in the studio are The Daily Mirro's political editor, John Stevens, and the barrister and former government minister, Anna Suubrey. Welcome again. Now let's take a look at the front page of The Mirro. No surprises, I guess, the great showman. Let's look at some of the other front pages because then we'll discuss it. It's obviously all the same story. If we look at the front page of The Sun, coming up, one tale of a fella, and The Daily Star, farewell to El Tale. So not surprising there, Anna, that Terry Venables and his death at the age of 80, making the front pages of many of the newspapers. Yeah, you see.

There will be quite a few people who'll say, Oh, yeah, I remember Terry Venable. Yeah, and El Tale, because he went to Barcelona, you see. And then he took Gary Linica to Barcelona. But he is of a certain type at a certain time in English football. So the first thing to say about Venable is that he played at the highest level. In fact, he holds a record because he's the only person to have played for England at every level that was then available, including as an amateur as well as a schoolboy. That's just a throwaway. But he then became something which is quite unusual. He was a first-class player who then became a first-class manager. Hugely respected. And he was, as the mirror says, he was the great showman because he was a bit of a geyser. He was a bit of a geyser, but he was very, very good at what he did. He was one of the first British managers actually to go into Europe. At that time, the other thing to say about him, of course, was that he revived the miserable fortunes of English football, international football. At a time when things had not gone well for us, and he just became a symbol of hope because he was so good.

Yeah, and Euro 96 obviously was in England. That's the tournament when he was managing the England team. We got to the semifinals, obviously went down to penalties.

-you know who. -penalty. -penalty. Yeah.

Well, also he managed some quite big personalities in Euro 96. When we think of the players and we think of the culture around football at the time, quite different to what we have now.

Yes and no. I mean, you still have these fantastic characters. I mean, Klopways. I just adore Jürgen Clop, who's the manager of Liverpool. And then you've got Pep... I'll just call him Pep because I don't pronounce his surname. But you do have these fabulous characters. But the thing about Venables was that he was a Brit, he was English, and he was just trying to tell you that generation because, as I say, he was a bit of a geyser. He was a bit of a man of the people and all of that as well. That's my terrible impersonation.

The other point made in one of the other papers is that back when he was a player, people weren't earning the vests as they were now. And so he became well-known for his money-making schemes. One of them was talking about how he came up with this hat with artificial hair coming down called a thingamu wig. Just because he was on a low salary, he was playing football, and needed to come up with these get-rich-quick schemes on.

The side. Remember, football, you're absolutely right. As I say, he played for England as an amateur, and they didn't earn anything like the money that they do nowadays, but they were expected to perform at the very highest of levels. And so a lot of those great names like Jackie Charlton did go into other things to try to supplement their income, frankly. A great man, and as I say, very much of his time. Very loved. Yeah, and a great loss, actually. And a lot of people from a lot of clubs that he was associated with will be genuinely sad at his passing. We have.

One minute to look at taxes. So yes, front page of the eye, we'll need more than a minute, but that's what we have. Millions face higher taxes until election. It says, Jeremy Hunt cannot cut that stealth tax, basically the higher rate of taxes. Some people are being dragged into. Tell us more about the story and.

What you made of it, Jon. Yes, I think this is going to be a big problem for the government. Obviously, they hope that they can go into the election, promise tax cuts, and everyone will say, Hooray, they're cutting our taxes. But people aren't stupid. They know that over the last few years, their taxes went up, and they know who was in the Treasury. It was Richie Sunak putting up those taxes.

Yeah, and here it says, The Chancellor just doesn't have any headroom in the economy despite the drop in inflation. That's what the eye is.

Going for. Absolutely. And I mean, all of this stuff, as Jon knows, better than anybody, is all going to hot up as we move into the last 12 months of this government and going towards that general election.
