:00:00. > :00:18.Now on BBC News here's Rachel Schofield with The Papers.
:00:19. > :00:31.Welcome to our Sunday morning edition of The Papers. Let us get a
:00:32. > :01:03.flavour of the front pages. We start with the Sunday express.
:01:04. > :01:12.The times are talking about the new Israeli ambassador to Britain who
:01:13. > :01:21.has joined the debate about anti-Semitism in the Labour Party.
:01:22. > :01:33.The Ob server has an interview with Sadiq Khan.
:01:34. > :01:42.The Mail on Sunday is all about the BBC and how we may be losing some
:01:43. > :01:47.prime-time programmes. Yes, and it will do this and they
:01:48. > :01:53.will do it for all the wrong reasons because certain people in the
:01:54. > :01:58.Conservative Party, including John Whittingdale, I cannot tell you how
:01:59. > :02:04.angry this makes me, want to diminish and take away the presence
:02:05. > :02:10.of the BBC. They want to turn us into the PBS of America. We are told
:02:11. > :02:14.we are a capitalist country where competition drives excellence. The
:02:15. > :02:25.BBC has of late produced the most extraordinary dramas. This really
:02:26. > :02:32.quite vindictive set of policies doesn't understand that the people
:02:33. > :02:36.feel passionately about the BBC. I hope people like this because this
:02:37. > :02:42.is happening now. I am all in favour of competition
:02:43. > :02:53.but this isn't a level playing field. It's all very well seeing
:02:54. > :02:58.have the BBC compete with ITV. The BBC has ?3.7 billion licence fee
:02:59. > :03:03.funds so it is not a level playing field. I think John Whittingdale is
:03:04. > :03:10.try to redress this because he is aware that ITV are seeing this as
:03:11. > :03:14.unfair competition. I do have sympathy with what he is saying but,
:03:15. > :03:18.having said that, it would be unfortunate if the BBC's flagship
:03:19. > :03:22.programmes were damaged. I would not like to see that but I think there
:03:23. > :03:27.is something to be done to make it a more level playing field.
:03:28. > :03:30.You said you would like to see people rise up against it. The
:03:31. > :03:35.public would have something to say about this, surely.
:03:36. > :03:38.I hope so and I hope there is a public consultation. But when we
:03:39. > :03:44.need them government really get them to us. I hope we do have one and
:03:45. > :03:51.they disagree with you, Ruth, because ITV is doing financially
:03:52. > :03:56.very well. The media expert was seeing their profits are doing very
:03:57. > :04:00.well. Of course but it is not a level
:04:01. > :04:08.playing field. What does that even mean?
:04:09. > :04:18.I will tell you! The BBC has the licence fee money and ITV doesn't.
:04:19. > :04:25.But the output on the BBC is massive with the number of channels.
:04:26. > :04:29.I always grovel when the worst comes to the worst. Some people would
:04:30. > :04:34.challenge whether the BBC should be doing programmes like Strictly Come
:04:35. > :04:42.Dancing at all. Why? Because they are successful?
:04:43. > :04:48.I don't go that far. Become irrelevant like PBS. No, the
:04:49. > :04:51.public loves the BBC. As for your level playing field, the advertisers
:04:52. > :04:58.on the commercial channels take money from our pocket five times
:04:59. > :05:02.more. ITV has to work to get that money by
:05:03. > :05:07.getting the advertisers were at the BBC does not. I'm going to stick to
:05:08. > :05:14.my DD is that it is not a level playing field.
:05:15. > :05:34.Before we get 50 cups -- the city coffers Garth -- fisticuffs...
:05:35. > :05:47.David Cameron 's idea for academies in schools is proving unpopular.
:05:48. > :05:56.Yes, the minister was heckled and asked if she was running the
:05:57. > :06:01.Department or Nick Gibb was, and after that there were accusations of
:06:02. > :06:12.sexism. I have some sympathy with the teachers, which may surprise you
:06:13. > :06:16.as men. I do see there is a problem here. What I find interesting is not
:06:17. > :06:22.the Education Secretary being heckled by teachers. That is not a
:06:23. > :06:25.story, that is an everyday event. What is interesting is that the
:06:26. > :06:29.Prime Minister is thinking about making his concessions to
:06:30. > :06:38.Conservative rebels and I think many of them are rebelling purely because
:06:39. > :06:42.of Brexit. It is to do with the discomfort and rebellion in the
:06:43. > :06:45.Conservative Party. We are going to talk about Labour Party but let us
:06:46. > :06:47.remember there are problems internally with the Conservative
:06:48. > :06:54.Party. You think this is internal politics?
:06:55. > :07:00.A party that believes in competition wants to kill the BBC. A party that
:07:01. > :07:04.believes in choice is now ticking choice away from education. Are you
:07:05. > :07:10.a party, I'm asking the Conservative Party, a party that believes in a
:07:11. > :07:14.variety of educational responses to educational demands and needs or are
:07:15. > :07:18.you a party that centralises and quite a Communist way and decides
:07:19. > :07:25.how everything is going to be an Academy.
:07:26. > :07:30.I conceded that point. I think they should go easy on the academy
:07:31. > :07:33.programme. But it is the politics here and recently the Prime Minister
:07:34. > :07:43.made concessions on the trading and build because he wanted the trade
:07:44. > :07:48.unions to support a -- support him on Brexit.
:07:49. > :07:55.Let us move our focus to the Labour Party. The anti-Semitism row
:07:56. > :08:03.deepens. The Sunday Telegraph said they have put together a dossier
:08:04. > :08:07.with what they describe of disturbing examples of anti-Semitic
:08:08. > :08:11.attitudes and Labour Party. It has taken off and I am glad we
:08:12. > :08:26.are talking about it. No forms of racism should be tolerated. But I do
:08:27. > :08:30.think, I sometimes wonder if Ken Livingstone is a double agent for
:08:31. > :08:39.the Conservative Party because what a horrible moment to have a hissy
:08:40. > :08:44.fit, which is going to affect the elections. The right-wing press are
:08:45. > :08:51.a field day and he should be banished from the party as from now.
:08:52. > :08:55.We do not need investigation. He is bringing the party into disrepute.
:08:56. > :08:58.On one side there is the Ken Livingstone issued but the whole
:08:59. > :09:04.point is that this has broadened into a wider debate about a
:09:05. > :09:06.potential problem in the Labour Party.
:09:07. > :09:09.What do you think? This will shock horror but I agree with her. I
:09:10. > :09:17.believe Ken Livingstone should just be out. He has form. It is not as if
:09:18. > :09:25.he doesn't make well statements. You can see how cross some of his
:09:26. > :09:29.colleagues are. The man is a menace and not just to the Labour Party but
:09:30. > :09:36.to the country. He has a menace to race relations. I think he should be
:09:37. > :09:39.banished to outer darkness. While we are still on this, let us
:09:40. > :09:48.bring in the Observer because their top story is on the same story. On
:09:49. > :09:59.the impact it will have on the London mayor role elections.
:10:00. > :10:09.I want as much outrage from the public on, what I have never seen so
:10:10. > :10:16.much of as the hideously racist campaign that Zac Goldsmith has been
:10:17. > :10:21.conducting. The letters some of us have had seeing things like you are
:10:22. > :10:25.a Hindu and you are one of us but those horrible Muslims are not. The
:10:26. > :10:30.electoral commission needs to look at how Siddique Khan is caught
:10:31. > :10:39.between the terrible anti-Semitism row that Ken Livingstone and others
:10:40. > :10:48.have created and this fall going for him because he is a Muslim. He is a
:10:49. > :10:51.liberal Muslim. If a Muslim of high integrity cannot stand for high
:10:52. > :10:56.office what kind of society are we running?
:10:57. > :11:01.I have sympathy with that. We are friends again and excavation
:11:02. > :11:06.Mark I think the whole racism thing is appalling. I have a great deal of
:11:07. > :11:11.sympathy with Sadiq Khan. I'm not taking sides politically, God
:11:12. > :11:17.forbid. Go on.
:11:18. > :11:26.May the best man win and I would be whole fight -- horrified if he lost
:11:27. > :11:29.the election because of this. If he loses it because of racism that is
:11:30. > :11:32.terrible. You have been on your conspiracy
:11:33. > :11:38.theories on the Brexit campaign some people have said with the Labour
:11:39. > :11:49.Party that this whole route has been stalked by embittered old Blairites.
:11:50. > :12:00.It could be but I think he has form of being mischievous.
:12:01. > :12:08.We need a proper opposition to the government.
:12:09. > :12:15.Tucked away under the picture from the two-day Yorkshire, the UK in a
:12:16. > :12:22.housing crisis. And entered to see it doesn't sound like a crisis to me
:12:23. > :12:30.but what is the angle. David Cameron wanted a homeowning
:12:31. > :12:37.democracy but new findings say four in ten people will not own their own
:12:38. > :12:43.homes ever. It is unaffordable housing. In London in particular and
:12:44. > :12:47.big cities like Birmingham. You are getting wonderful flats being built
:12:48. > :12:55.at people on ordinary wages working in the public service or even... We
:12:56. > :13:04.are a low-wage economy. They just cannot afford it. It is
:13:05. > :13:17.simple economics. Supply and demand. Population is rising and demand is
:13:18. > :13:21.not following -- supply. Successive governments haven't
:13:22. > :13:29.managed to get a grip on it. They have not and it is because they
:13:30. > :13:38.will get a grip on the subject of supply which might mean building on
:13:39. > :13:43.the green belt. Philip Green's wife has had an
:13:44. > :13:47.unusual summons to the House of Commons.
:13:48. > :13:51.I think both of them should be there. This is one of the saddest
:13:52. > :13:57.stories. I don't think any business should survive cos it doesn't
:13:58. > :14:07.deserve to survive but what is actually being done to BHS by a
:14:08. > :14:12.profligate owner and his wife, allegedly, needs to be examined by
:14:13. > :14:20.Parliament. They are in a tax haven. I am making no allegations but it
:14:21. > :14:30.happens to be the truth that she lives in a tax haven. They need to
:14:31. > :14:38.be questioned. It is time that this kind of capitalism was tamed.
:14:39. > :14:44.Monaco is a sunny place for shady people.
:14:45. > :14:49.Allegedly. We have to be careful. But they have been called before the
:14:50. > :14:52.select committee and able look at whether the funds were taken out
:14:53. > :14:58.while the deficit was being dulled up. And also to look at how the
:14:59. > :15:01.business collapsed so rapidly. I am looking forward to seeing the
:15:02. > :15:07.evidence. We are going to skip ahead to the
:15:08. > :15:15.Sunday Express because a lovely picture of Kate Middleton. She is
:15:16. > :15:29.going to be on the cover of Vogue. Much kinder than the Daily Mail
:15:30. > :15:34.because they were quite waspish. I wanted to get a flavour of what the
:15:35. > :15:42.opposition was doing on the other news channels and they went really
:15:43. > :15:49.hard on this story. I think she is absolutely a superb person and looks
:15:50. > :15:52.terrific and natural and is a person of the age.
:15:53. > :15:56.It is a controlled image. Not overly stylised and glamorous. Not
:15:57. > :16:05.necessarily their bogey would imagine.
:16:06. > :16:08.It is absolutely image making. -- not the Vogue magazine you would
:16:09. > :16:25.imagine. I think that is a bit hard because
:16:26. > :16:34.the royal family does a terrific job, if I may say so, and I think
:16:35. > :16:41.she is hanging on that tradition. We won't go there.
:16:42. > :16:48.On all the back pages, the underdog Leicester City may come out on top.
:16:49. > :16:51.What is so fascinating is the fact that although the city themselves
:16:52. > :16:56.are hugely invested in this, other fans from rival teams who know they
:16:57. > :17:00.cannot win by getting behind Leicester.
:17:01. > :17:04.Exactly Anders is one of those wonderful fairy stories. It came
:17:05. > :17:13.from nowhere and they are at the top. The managers from the expense
:17:14. > :17:20.of football teams are asking what is the magic. In the Telegraph, a
:17:21. > :17:33.gambler debt to pounds on the team and is now likely to net ?45,000.
:17:34. > :17:37.All I can say is 5000 to one, I wish I'd put a tenner on.
:17:38. > :17:48.Somebody put a bet on and cashed it in after one week when they lost.
:17:49. > :17:56.I could have bought VHS. -- BHS. Yet fully tied together.
:17:57. > :18:02.We do look at the front pages every evening at 10:45pm.
