:00:15. > :00:21.Hello and welcome to our look at the morning papers.

:00:22. > :00:28.With me are Tom Bergin, a correspondent for Reuters, and the

:00:29. > :00:30.freelance journalist Lucy Cavendish. First, let's have a look at

:00:31. > :00:40.tomorrow's front pages. The Independent's lead story focuses

:00:41. > :00:42.on new figures that suggest thousands of race hate crimes are

:00:43. > :00:44.going unreported. The Daily Telegraph reports on

:00:45. > :00:47.comments by the Health Secretary, Jeremy Hunt, who says that NHS

:00:48. > :00:49.doctors and nurses should be more open with patients and apologise

:00:50. > :00:52.when they make mistakes. The Guardian leads on claims that

:00:53. > :00:55.taxpayer-funded school academy chains have paid millions of pounds

:00:56. > :00:58.into the private businesses of directors, trustees and their

:00:59. > :01:01.relatives. The Daily Mirror's top story says

:01:02. > :01:06.British police are set to make their first arrests in the case of missing

:01:07. > :01:10.Maddie McGann. The Daily Mail splashes on a report

:01:11. > :01:19.that warns that half of all Brits will be obese by 2050.

:01:20. > :01:24.The time continues on the same team, saying that doctors should

:01:25. > :01:36.treat obesity like they do smoking. So, let's begin! Doctors and nurses

:01:37. > :01:41.must say sorry for their mistakes. It is not an admission of legal

:01:42. > :01:48.liability, it is the right into do, says Jeremy Hunt stop we know that

:01:49. > :01:52.the boss is a big businesses, they might say something is regrettable,

:01:53. > :01:57.but often they refused to say they are sorry because that implies

:01:58. > :02:08.culpability. Yes, it does. We had to the point where -- we are at the

:02:09. > :02:14.point where if someone says sorry, if deal silicon admission of guilt.

:02:15. > :02:18.That is why doctors and nurses don't want to do that. It is a culture of

:02:19. > :02:26.secrecy and not wishing to take Liam. They produced a leaflet, this

:02:27. > :02:40.makes me feel really nervous, it is for pages and is the -- it is

:02:41. > :02:44.entitled, saying sorry. The idea that if you go to the doctor they

:02:45. > :02:52.will diagnose you correct the commerce and nobody needed to say

:02:53. > :02:56.sorry, but what has been exposed is that is not actually the case and

:02:57. > :03:02.people have died in mid Staffordshire and no one had debts

:03:03. > :03:07.-- no one has said sorry. Sorry is the hardest word for. It's to say

:03:08. > :03:13.because that regard legal indications. In America they are

:03:14. > :03:17.changing the legal year, so doctors can say sorry and not open

:03:18. > :03:22.themselves up to liability. Here they are saying that it is not an

:03:23. > :03:28.admission of legal liability. Another interesting then I was

:03:29. > :03:32.reading a book this week about cases in the United States of

:03:33. > :03:36.malpractice. It Tyneside people don't necessarily sue negligent

:03:37. > :03:43.doctors, but these two doctors who have annoyed them. Is that a

:03:44. > :03:56.legitimate case, I don't like you so I will see you? While on the one

:03:57. > :04:02.level you make open up the legal liability, you might also shut down

:04:03. > :04:23.the possibility of a case against you. Empathy is very important.

:04:24. > :04:29.Isn't it possible to say we are sorry that this has happened,

:04:30. > :04:35.without saying I am sorry, I caused this. Yes, I suppose you could word

:04:36. > :04:41.in that way and my -- that might be what they have to-do. You could see

:04:42. > :04:47.through that. To me, that would make it worse. It wouldn't be heartfelt,

:04:48. > :04:53.would it? How many times have we heard politicians say, we regret

:04:54. > :04:59.this. It is not really saying sorry, is it? Let's move on to the Daily

:05:00. > :05:10.Mail. Bombshell report reveals true scale of obesity crisis. It looked

:05:11. > :05:24.like we were heading over a cliff on this. It really does, coming this

:05:25. > :05:28.week after the stories of sugar, this is the next battle ground on

:05:29. > :05:33.regulation. There is talk about that people should improve their own

:05:34. > :05:36.behaviour. Also there is the question about the behaviour of

:05:37. > :05:41.companies. The doors that lead the government is going to come under

:05:42. > :05:47.more pressure to stop so much sugar in foods, and so on. With the

:05:48. > :05:52.industry says that people should be able to make their own decisions.

:05:53. > :06:02.That is right. The whole report on sugar last week, I believe that is

:06:03. > :06:07.true. I edited the Observer food monthly and we did a lot of research

:06:08. > :06:12.into this, especially the attack if case of sugar. There has been a

:06:13. > :06:18.massive change in what people eat from when we were kids. It is an

:06:19. > :06:22.addictive substance, sugar. If the government can persuade the

:06:23. > :06:26.companies to change what is in their food, which is going to be hard

:06:27. > :06:38.anyway, people do get a craving for it. People don't check the amount of

:06:39. > :06:44.sugar that is in something. One of the articles last night was saying

:06:45. > :06:56.that the obesity is our was saying -- the foetus -- obesity is our.

:06:57. > :07:03.Clearly people should take care of themselves and exercise some

:07:04. > :07:10.restraint. If they don't. But it is so yummy! It is dealing with

:07:11. > :07:16.children, that is when they are hooking them in. We will have

:07:17. > :07:21.hospitals full of people with obesity related disease. It could be

:07:22. > :07:24.as bad as smoking. And now the government have put all sorts of

:07:25. > :07:32.warning signs and ad campaigns and the information inside there. It is

:07:33. > :07:36.not difficult to access. The numbers affected will be so much higher than

:07:37. > :07:43.those who smoke. It is heading in so many different things. It is a

:07:44. > :07:47.problem with the food industry. Remember when they tried to bring in

:07:48. > :07:57.the traffic light system and back caused an outcry. -- that caused an

:07:58. > :08:00.outcry. Tax is a much more meaningful thing. If these things

:08:01. > :08:08.become more expensive, people will consume less of them. It seems that

:08:09. > :08:15.the time of putting this off might not be for much longer. Let's move

:08:16. > :08:19.on to the independent stop race hate, a crime the police cannot

:08:20. > :08:23.solve. An exclusive from the Whitehall editor saying that tens of

:08:24. > :08:28.thousands of race hate crimes are going unreported. Two military

:08:29. > :08:39.leaders are warning that they don't have the fear in the police to

:08:40. > :08:44.investigate these offences. This is exactly the same thing that was

:08:45. > :08:49.shown last year, when the crime survey was compared to the police

:08:50. > :08:56.figures. It is a difficult crimes sometimes to prove, race hate, or

:08:57. > :09:00.any sort of hate crime. The police might see someone coming maybe with

:09:01. > :09:06.a violent assault, they say it will be hard to stick it on the racially

:09:07. > :09:17.motivated, so let's just go with plain assault. Maybe they are not

:09:18. > :09:23.being pursued as he graces -- hate cases. It is important for people to

:09:24. > :09:28.have the right crime investigated, isn't it? Yes, this reminds me of

:09:29. > :09:36.what was going on that rape cases will be. Reporting them because the

:09:37. > :09:42.rates of conviction were so low. But they had to go through in terms of

:09:43. > :09:51.getting it to court. It was such a trauma. Sobbing. Reporting it. I'm

:09:52. > :09:56.sure there is part of that in here. I can prove it, it will cause a

:09:57. > :09:59.tremendous amount of problems, maybe there will be a lot of comeback in

:10:00. > :10:07.the community were a live, so didn't get reported. But how do you know,

:10:08. > :10:16.when they don't get reported? The crime survey is a sample of about

:10:17. > :10:21.50,000 people. The police could surely argued that if you don't come

:10:22. > :10:25.in reported, we cant investigated. I have been to the police station 12

:10:26. > :10:45.times two reports a few small crimes. Sometimes it can seem very

:10:46. > :10:56.bureaucratic. Maybe people don't bother. That is the message that I

:10:57. > :11:02.got, on two occasions. Cash bonanza for Academy firms. These other firms

:11:03. > :11:06.that run academy schools. They are given a lot of lassitude. The

:11:07. > :11:10.suggestion is that there needs to be greater scrutiny on how they are

:11:11. > :11:15.using this money. Wasn't this the point, that they were supposed to

:11:16. > :11:23.have freedom? It is a very difficult story to explain in a nugget.

:11:24. > :11:32.Essentially, a person with lots of money set and Academy, then somehow

:11:33. > :11:38.manages to employ them rather as someone else, then that Academy

:11:39. > :11:47.reinvest in all the company that this person owns in the first

:11:48. > :11:54.place. Ie it is not a good ring. That is all completely wrong. It is

:11:55. > :11:57.a good story to expose. What the Guardian is saying, quite rightly,

:11:58. > :12:09.is that there needs to be far more transparency over what is happening.

:12:10. > :12:13.It will be supplied into people that there is a more scrutiny. If you

:12:14. > :12:17.read through the story, they defend these payments and say there are

:12:18. > :12:25.different reasons why these are appropriate. Well, they are going to

:12:26. > :12:31.defend them, hands up! There will say that the school spends a lot of

:12:32. > :12:38.money, so the local community has the chance to get some of that. It

:12:39. > :12:42.appears that the oversight of the schools was not as close as people

:12:43. > :12:45.would have liked. In the daily Telegraph, happier marriages with

:12:46. > :12:51.the couples without children. This is a huge study conducted into

:12:52. > :12:57.Britain's relationships and apparently childless couples have

:12:58. > :13:07.happier marriages! Of course they do! Number one, they are better

:13:08. > :13:13.off. Number two, they have time for each other all stop number three,

:13:14. > :13:33.they can go on holidays, did crosswords together. We disagreed on

:13:34. > :13:38.this. I could look that and before I had children, externally it looks

:13:39. > :13:48.like a more idyllic kind of relationship. Because it is! I

:13:49. > :13:52.wonder would I have gotten bored of that that they didn't have children.

:13:53. > :13:59.The thing is, you do have to make time. I say without -- people

:14:00. > :14:15.without children and they envy them! It is a different type of

:14:16. > :14:24.relationship. I find it more fun. Who wants to play Scrabble in the

:14:25. > :14:28.evening? I'm sure that I would have been happy without them. If you're

:14:29. > :14:34.trying to play Scrabble, they come in and say that that is not the

:14:35. > :14:37.right word. People probably do have happier marriages without the

:14:38. > :14:43.stresses and strains of children on an emotional and financial level.

:14:44. > :14:50.When the kitchen never closes. That was very animated, that last story.

:14:51. > :14:53.That's it for The Paper this hour. We'll be back at half-eleven for

:14:54. > :14:58.another look at the stories making the morning's papers. Stay with us

:14:59. > :15:02.here on BBC News. Coming up next, it's time for Click.
