:00:29. > :00:37.Marie France, editor in chief of the York shortens life magazine. Thank

:00:38. > :00:41.you both. -- Yorkshire women's life magazine. Theresa May will announce

:00:42. > :00:46.a crackdown on executive pay this week in an approach previously

:00:47. > :00:51.advocated for Ed Miliband. The Sunday Times leads with the death of

:00:52. > :00:56.Fidel Castro, describing him as the scourge of the West. The Daily Mail

:00:57. > :00:59.claims police were warned by their own expert of allegations of child

:01:00. > :01:05.abuse against the former Prime Minister Ted Heath should not be

:01:06. > :01:07.taken seriously. Let's begin with the story that's been dominating

:01:08. > :01:12.news bulletins all day. That is the death of Fidel Castro at

:01:13. > :01:16.the age of 90. Here it is on the Sunday Times, scourge of the West,

:01:17. > :01:21.it says. World divides over revolutionary icon who became a

:01:22. > :01:27.murderous tyrant. Interesting to hear different leaders from

:01:28. > :01:34.different parts of the world trying to pay tribute to him whilst

:01:35. > :01:36.acknowledging that his regime was terrible and fearful for many

:01:37. > :01:42.people. That's true. I'm intrigued by the splash on the front where

:01:43. > :01:49.there is still a lot of division. There is still a certain spread, you

:01:50. > :01:52.either liked him or hate him. I'm intrigued by this conversation, the

:01:53. > :01:57.row taking place in Washington, where they are deciding which person

:01:58. > :02:01.in America will represent them at the funeral. Several Republican

:02:02. > :02:05.senators have called for Barack Obama and the Secretary of State,

:02:06. > :02:10.John Kerry, to stay away. But I know Barack Obama wanted to go, which is

:02:11. > :02:13.what I understand, because he is trying to cement relationships with

:02:14. > :02:21.that country and he wants to pay his respects going forward with that.

:02:22. > :02:24.Also, Boris Johnson, the Foreign Secretary, he has offered a low-key

:02:25. > :02:29.remark saying the Doncaster's death marks the end of an era for Cuba and

:02:30. > :02:36.the start of a new one for Cuban people. -- saying Fidel Castro's

:02:37. > :02:40.death. They are being choosy with how they put out these

:02:41. > :02:45.announcements, which is interesting. Some British politicians today have

:02:46. > :02:48.raised eyebrows with paying tribute to the advances he made for Cuban

:02:49. > :02:55.people in terms of health and medicine are not necessarily...

:02:56. > :02:59.Talking so much about the human rights abuses people suffered. Yes,

:03:00. > :03:05.talking about Jeremy Corbyn it is strange statement in which he

:03:06. > :03:10.praised Fidel Castro. The thing about this story is it is ideal for

:03:11. > :03:14.Sunday. Today we've had people making statements. Lots on twitter

:03:15. > :03:18.some people saying he was good, he was rubbish, good health care

:03:19. > :03:22.system, yeah, but he killed people. It is set up for the Sunday

:03:23. > :03:26.newspapers. He is a conjugated character, Fidel Castro. A bit of an

:03:27. > :03:35.understatement. A dictator who replaced a dictator. Yes. --

:03:36. > :03:41.complicated character. Boris Johnson said it is a new era, but it is one

:03:42. > :03:46.Castro replacing another. Life has changed a little bit. People are

:03:47. > :03:50.allowed to run businesses. As Dawn Marie was saying, Barack Obama has

:03:51. > :03:59.tried to reach out to Cuba in a way that previous Administration 's

:04:00. > :04:17.never attempted. The line-up, we reckon, will include Vladimir Putin,

:04:18. > :04:24.the uranium Rohani -- the Iranian Rohani. Not just list baddies but

:04:25. > :04:30.they are the ones that have signed up so far. The Sunday Telegraph,

:04:31. > :04:36.with a picture of many people out on the streets. In particular in Miami.

:04:37. > :04:40.Absolutely jubilant. Flags flying. For then this is the end of an era

:04:41. > :04:43.they are glad to see the back of. I was surprised. I did not realise

:04:44. > :04:50.there were so many Cuban exiles in Miami. There was John King, they

:04:51. > :04:55.were saying Cuba is free at last, there was lots of jubilation there.

:04:56. > :05:04.-- chanting. They were exiled from that country. You wonder if Raul

:05:05. > :05:09.Castro we'll be able to move things on more than he was able to do when

:05:10. > :05:15.Fidel Castro was alive. We will see... The thing about Castro is he

:05:16. > :05:18.made Cuba matter. Cuba isn't a big place. It isn't particularly

:05:19. > :05:24.interesting in terms of its economy. Yet he made it matter. Without him

:05:25. > :05:31.around and with the normalisation that it is no longer the Communist

:05:32. > :05:38.Bastian, to what extent is it going to matter? There does not seem to be

:05:39. > :05:43.many correspondent in Cuba reporting on this. We are grateful to have

:05:44. > :05:48.will grant there. He has been there years. Great to have him. The unique

:05:49. > :05:55.way the BBC is funded. Absolutely, long may it continue. Many carries

:05:56. > :06:00.on Labour's business pay crackdown. Getting tough on corporate greed.

:06:01. > :06:05.Not necessarily what we expect from a Conservative government, is it?

:06:06. > :06:11.No. For Ed Miliband must be throwing things at the TV tonight. Theresa

:06:12. > :06:16.May has stolen his policies. The policy nobody liked enough to elect

:06:17. > :06:21.him last year. Theresa May has now stolen it. Including empowering

:06:22. > :06:25.workers, as she put it, the Labour manifesto wanted to have employee

:06:26. > :06:29.representation on remuneration committees. She has had the same

:06:30. > :06:34.thing in a Green paper due out this week. Similarly he said companies

:06:35. > :06:38.should publish the ratio of pay between highest and average earners,

:06:39. > :06:43.she is going to do the same thing this week. It must be a kick in the

:06:44. > :06:48.teeth for Ed Miliband. This is part of making the economy work for

:06:49. > :06:54.everybody, isn't it? That's true. After the Philip Green outcry with

:06:55. > :06:58.the public, it was not appetite for executive pay. As Theresa May moves

:06:59. > :07:03.to the centre ground this is an idea that will connect with the public.

:07:04. > :07:10.It will be good to see staff on the boards. It would also be good to

:07:11. > :07:13.look at the pavement for the person at the top of the hierarchy in the

:07:14. > :07:18.company and the person at the lowest, just to see the way that

:07:19. > :07:21.works. It would actually give the power back to the employees, really.

:07:22. > :07:28.And I think that will resonate with a lot of people. That's useful --

:07:29. > :07:33.that she is following something. But you are right, Ed Miliband must be

:07:34. > :07:36.angry because he was looking at this initially. The only caution is this

:07:37. > :07:41.is a green paper. She's not doing anything. But the fact she is pretty

:07:42. > :07:49.neat idea out there is something. Yeah. -- putting the idea. This is a

:07:50. > :07:55.centrist idea, how does it sit with those ideas of those who are less

:07:56. > :08:02.than centrist? One minute saying they want companies to show all of

:08:03. > :08:08.the foreign employees, then they say we will have employee

:08:09. > :08:11.representatives on the board... This employee representative business,

:08:12. > :08:18.isn't that what trade unions are for? Yes, but they don't necessarily

:08:19. > :08:22.get to sit on a scrutiny committee, or a board. They don't have much

:08:23. > :08:25.power at all these days. Perhaps if you empower trade unions again then

:08:26. > :08:31.you would not then have to have people on board. I like the idea

:08:32. > :08:37.that she has raised issue that she might give stakeholders the power to

:08:38. > :08:43.have pay packages of business leaders in an annual bidding vote.

:08:44. > :08:47.That will resonate well with the public, I think. Because sometimes

:08:48. > :08:51.at AGMs we see shareholders trying to object when they figure the

:08:52. > :08:54.company has not been heading in the direction they would have liked, or

:08:55. > :08:59.have not done as well as they would have liked, be successful. The

:09:00. > :09:03.Conservatives are normally pro-business. Does this mean they

:09:04. > :09:06.are anti-business all of a sudden? The Tories painted it is that when

:09:07. > :09:14.Ed Miliband was trying to put it forward last year. But apparently it

:09:15. > :09:17.isn't. Nothing is new. No new ideas, really. If she is playing to the

:09:18. > :09:21.centre ground these are the kinds of policies that will win her over to

:09:22. > :09:24.the general public as we go over to another general election. She has

:09:25. > :09:29.got to have both kinds of policies to reach out to people who are not

:09:30. > :09:33.normally conservative voters. The Sunday Times, here she is again,

:09:34. > :09:37.Theresa May admits the Brexit challenge keeps her awake at night.

:09:38. > :09:45.This is about her trying to get the best deal. It would worry anyone,

:09:46. > :09:49.wouldn't it? That's true. She wants to that article 50 in place by the

:09:50. > :09:53.end of March, depending on how this goes, because obviously she has to

:09:54. > :09:58.go through the court case and see if she manages to push that forward.

:09:59. > :10:02.Because there was that challenge, wasn't there? Yes, it is coming up

:10:03. > :10:05.in the Supreme Court. We will have to see what happens. She is

:10:06. > :10:09.determined. She really wants to push it through by March. But she is

:10:10. > :10:16.going head-to-head with Mark Carney, who is calling for businesses to

:10:17. > :10:21.return access to the free market. But the general public don't want

:10:22. > :10:24.access to the single market because that means freedom of movement and

:10:25. > :10:30.that seems to be a hot potato in that respect. -- return access to

:10:31. > :10:33.the single market. People are angry about immigration and what that

:10:34. > :10:41.means. If you look at someone like Yorkshire where we have seen lots of

:10:42. > :10:45.people coming over from Eastern European countries, that has caused

:10:46. > :10:49.problems because that has seen things like wages being pushed down.

:10:50. > :10:52.That type of thing needs to be addressed. If you still stay in the

:10:53. > :10:56.single market that can cause problems. She has a headache there

:10:57. > :11:01.because she is trying to appease her party and the country. But then she

:11:02. > :11:06.has Mark Carney saying we must stay in the single market. Tough

:11:07. > :11:10.balancing act. He is talking about a transitional period of a couple of

:11:11. > :11:14.years of having that access. It will keep her awake at night. Bad luck.

:11:15. > :11:20.Your party had the referendum, this is the result, deal with it. One of

:11:21. > :11:24.the interesting things is the difference in tone. Donald Trump

:11:25. > :11:29.tweeted that he had been working even on Thanksgiving. Lots of people

:11:30. > :11:31.said you need to get used to it, you are president. As Theresa May

:11:32. > :11:39.admitted she had been working long into the night. Oh no! No, there are

:11:40. > :11:45.some prime ministers and presidents who make a point, I think it was

:11:46. > :11:48.George W Bush, he used to deliberately stop work at a

:11:49. > :11:55.reasonable time of day. George W Bush? Don't look at me like that.

:11:56. > :11:59.Noted for being one of the worst president in history. I have not

:12:00. > :12:02.said that at all. I'm just saying work life balance. I'm just being

:12:03. > :12:05.realistic at this point. If you want to be Prime Minister you have to

:12:06. > :12:11.work long into the night. No sympathy. Let's move along to The

:12:12. > :12:16.Mail on Sunday on the sport pages. Abuse was not just football. Police

:12:17. > :12:21.operation moves wider than the national game into several other

:12:22. > :12:25.sports. Not just Crewe Alexandra, which has been the focus, but there

:12:26. > :12:31.are other places also involved in this enquiry. Inevitable,

:12:32. > :12:34.unfortunately, I think because it isn't a football problem, this.

:12:35. > :12:42.Football has a problem with it now. But it is a coaching problem, if you

:12:43. > :12:45.like. Just I Jimmy Savile -- just like Jimmy Savile, it wasn't the

:12:46. > :12:50.problem that he was a DJ, it was the culture. Sports have access to

:12:51. > :12:54.children, and the need to have guarding around that and perhaps

:12:55. > :12:59.that support has not been there. And it just takes a couple of people

:13:00. > :13:03.that will help others be encouraged to come forward. I watched an

:13:04. > :13:07.interview on the Victoria Derbyshire programme who had been abused by

:13:08. > :13:14.this particular character who has gone to jail. It is important for

:13:15. > :13:17.people to own that space and come forward. Because then it will

:13:18. > :13:21.encourage other people to do so. I felt it was brave to go on the

:13:22. > :13:26.Victoria Derbyshire. I was proud of that person. To own that space. To

:13:27. > :13:30.say this has happened to me, I am owning my life, I'm not going to be

:13:31. > :13:33.a victim any more. I would say that person was a survivor. It has

:13:34. > :13:41.encouraged other people to come forward. I'm glad to see. Let's

:13:42. > :13:45.finish with another story on the Sunday Times. Bosses told to bring

:13:46. > :13:49.back Christmas. This is David Isaac, the relatively new chairman of the

:13:50. > :13:52.quality and human rights commission, saying do not be embarrassed to

:13:53. > :13:59.mention Christianity, religion, at Christmas. Yeah, he is fairly new in

:14:00. > :14:04.the role, one suspects he might be trying to get some headlines with

:14:05. > :14:07.this because he says some people refer to Christmas as the winter

:14:08. > :14:17.holidays. Do they? Does anybody do that? I think they do, James.

:14:18. > :14:19.Because you have Hanukkah in December. People don't mark

:14:20. > :14:33.Christmas but they do recognise it as a break from the norm. Midwinter

:14:34. > :14:38.Festival. Festivus is the Seinfeld celebration. I don't think people

:14:39. > :14:42.don't talk about Christmas at work. People still exchange Christmas

:14:43. > :14:46.cards, put up Christmas trees. Because he is new to the job I think

:14:47. > :14:50.he just wants to make headlines. I've never heard anybody call it

:14:51. > :14:57.winter holidays. I think he's just reading intercultural issues. I

:14:58. > :15:04.think he is peddling a myth. If it is going to offend people calling at

:15:05. > :15:09.Christmas, then don't. But it is Christmas. But it isn't happening,

:15:10. > :15:19.is it? I agree with you. I don't think it is. It has got us talking.

:15:20. > :15:24.That is The Papers. James and Dawn-Marie will be back in an hour.

:15:25. > :15:28.Coming up next, Reporters.
