28/10/2017 The Papers

dismissed for illegal drug use,

leading to compulsory drug testing

being ordered on board

all Royal Navy submarines.

Hello and welcome to our look ahead

to what the the papers will be

bringing us tomorrow.

With me are the journalist

and broadcaster Penny Smith

and the commentator

and broadcaster Charlie Wolf.

Tomorrow's front pages,

starting with...

The Mail on Sunday, which leads

with fresh allegations of sexism

at Westminster.

The Sunday Times claims

some prisoners sentenced

to less than a year could be allowed

to go home in order to vote,

under new government plans.

The Sunday Telegraph says that

chaotic organisation of the health

service is putting patients' lives

at risk, according to

the NHS medical director.

On the front page

of The Observer, claims that senior

Tory donors have urged Theresa May

to walk away from Brexit

talks rather than accept

an "unsatisfactory

and unfavourable" deal.

And the Express leads

with the crisis in Catalonia,

as Madrid seizes power over

the regional Parliament.

Let's start with the Sunday

Telegraph. The focus very much on

the Catalan facing arrest as he

calls for civil disobedience. It is

only a matter of time before we see

what we fear.

only a matter of time before we see

what we fear.

We have not heard much

from the EU on this. There is an

expression in the states, you cannot

fight City Hall. That's what may

happen. As far as the Catalan

leader, pretender to the throne,

thinks he will show up on Monday and

find someone else who has been

appointed by the federal government

because they are now under direct

rule. He may not be able to get into

the building. He is also facing

arrest and up to 30 years in jail.

When those arrests start taking

place, some police officers decide

they will not take orders from the

nationalist Catalan Chief police

officer that has replaced the one

that has been fired.

And also, when

we saw what went on when they did

the illegal vote, and if we had a

repeater that any stage, I was

talking to somebody who lives out in

Barcelona and has been watching this

as a journalist. Not everybody is in

favour. This is not one of those

done deals. It is not one of

Catalonia saying we want to be

independent. Quite a sizeable

proportion...

42% if the

referendum...

It was not represented

because lots of people boycotted it

as well. The point is lots of people

want to stay with Spain. When you

stand back from this. You think, why

were they not speaking? Surely

diplomacy could have avoided all of

this.

There are so many stories, we

do not know what the truth is.

I

asked one of many experts on Spanish

listing that we have been

interviewing, why did they stay so

silent? They are the people who want

to go through a more democratic

process.

It is very difficult to

turn up for the status quo. Much

more exciting to go on and say, we

want change rather than saying we

want things to stay the same.

It

could reveal all.

You think back to

the civil rights period in the

states. It was in Alabama. They

tried to prevent these black kids

from going to the University. You do

not fight City Hall.

You are right

there. On the 21st of December, some

people might not feel it is worth

voting. We do not know how

transparent this is. Let's move on

to the Sunday express which brings a

bit closer to home. These are how

the mounting tensions in Spain are

keeping British tourists away. Still

the top destination but still a

place where people live as well.

22%

down on bookings as well. Even

though you say to people, how does

it feel out the? They say, it is not

feel like anything will kick-off.

But you never know. If you've got a

choice between going there or

somewhere else, you thing, it is not

that far away, I can do some other

time. I will wait until this is

passed.

I would love to go back to

Valencia. We were in Barcelona many

years, but with children, do you

want to show up where that might

kick-off?

It could be devastate

economic live. A lot of people stop

travelling to Egypt and Tunisia.

It

is a shame. I felt for them and they

had the bombing recently. I remember

on our honeymoon at midnight, people

were dancing in the square and it

was a beautiful place.

You have got

the mountains to one side. You have

got the area with the president was

drinking his glass of wine.

You too

should work for the Spanish tourist

board! The Sunday Times, some

prisoners might get the right to

vote.

This has been an ongoing issue

because the European Court of Human

Rights said prisoners should have

the right to vote. There seems to be

a suggestion that, if you are under

a year and you are due to go out,

you should be allowed to vote. This

story goes on to cover policing and

various other things, saying they

need more money to police our

streets and also they are having to

juggle things around, and the having

to deal with serious crimes locally.

In other words, drugs and terrorism,

the having to go into local areas

and try to sort out crime because

they are being starved of funds. The

whole thing is... The Justice

Secretary. I know you feel strongly

about the rights of prisoners.

To

tell

about the rights of prisoners.

To

tell you the truth, no.

about the rights of prisoners.

To

tell you the truth, no.

That changed

from an hour ago! Thanks for that,

Charlie.

You give up the right to liberty,

sometimes in some jurisdictions you

give up the right to life even.

We

stopped doing that.

You guys did. To

me, that's something you give up. I

think it's a mess to figure out who

gets the vote, who doesn't get to

vote. I would be worried in that

sort of environment if people are

forced to vote a certain way, and if

there's someone, that sort of

dynamic in a prison where you have

the big guys and the small fish and

the small fish gets pushed around by

the big guys.

Do you honestly think

they're going to save you don't vote

Lib Dems I'll kill you, really?

I

don't know how it could be

accomplished but I could see that

being a possibility.

Both of you

bring up a point and you're missing

something but you are getting there,

that actually...

Thanks!

I'm trying

to help you. What springs to mind is

prison isn't just about punishment,

it's about rehabilitation. We are

looking at offenders that will be

out in less than a year. This could

be a chance to engage them in

politics, give them a sense of worth

and belonging to society.

Exactly.

Listen to me.

Yes, you are right,

it's supposed to be about

rehabilitation. It's not just...

Let's move on. There is another

story on the Sunday Times, top BBC

women exposed sex pests. The paper

says a secret group of the BBC's top

female presenters have uncovered a

string of suspected cases of sexual

harassment at the corporation

including a senior sports presenter.

Mishal Husain is on the cover,

choosing this group of these senior

reporters, editors, producers, et.

It's not that she's complaining

about having been harassed or

anything but I guess she's part of

this group that women are able to go

to, or they are able to go to an

upper manager and savour the problem

here, this needs...

The BBC has

released a statement saying we can't

comment on individuals but treat any

allegation seriously and have

processes in place for investigating

them. That's the thing, isn't it,

you've been talking about. Your own

experience.

I was talking about how

this was essentially par for the

course, a little bit of sexual

harassment. I say a little bit of

sexual harassment, because that was

how you were made to feel when you

complained and they said, they'd use

words like, don't be silly, get a

sense of humour for goodness' sake.

Then we go on to the Meyler.

You've

got procedures in place where women

can complain but you still got this

kind of thing going on, allegedly. .

This story is amazing to me. It's

so... Maybe you expect it at the

local pub or something, the office

with David Brent or whatever, this

is not something you expect out of a

parliamentarian.

This is a minister

who sent his PA to buy sex toys. He

goes on inside to say he can't deny

but it was just high jinks and he

says he fell out with the woman who

persuaded him to go and do this and

that's why she's saying this and all

the rest of it, and there are other

people who are mentioned in this as

being sorry for what they done. It

points out that like all of these

things, it's about trying to make

people think before they ask people

to do things, before they come

before this becomes an issue. Just

think twice. How would this feel if

it was in the papers? When I was

introduced to Twitter and somebody

said, do you know what, on Twitter,

just remember, it's like

shouting on a bus. Would you shout

it on a bus? I know there are lots

of people who shout really offensive

things.

It will be with you the rest

of your life.

It behoves you to be

careful.

Treat people as you would

yourself.

Treat people like your

daughter, or your wife, or whatever.

There are some people who are

perhaps that the art of flirting

will die out. I don't think it will

because genuinely I think you can

tell. You can tell when something is

real.

When a man puts your arm

around you and condiments you, you

know when it's friendly. You know

much -- you

you know when it's

friendly or sleazy, you know deep

down.

Ask your mother to go out and

buy a sex toy.

Would you do that?

Of

course not, I'm embarrassed thinking

about it.

Shall we end on the story

giving us something to celebrate.

England win the under 17s World Cup,

a picture on the front page of the

Observer of the young lions,

roaring.

Joyful, joyful picture.

They look in at the 5-2 victory,

some scoring!

-- they look in shock.

I know, is it just me or I always

feel sorry for the goalie who lets

in five goals. They can't even go to

the pub to join their sorrows

afterwards because they are 17, or

younger, so what... You sit around

having your little drink and

saying... I'm sorry. I was thinking

of the Spanish goalkeeper.

Normally

you guys feel the opposite of the

guy...

I like an underdog.

You are

not used to happy. Nelson Mandela

said something effective, it's

scarier to be at the top. A lot of

people stay down because it's

something they are used to and it's

scary to be up there. Winning must

be a new thing.

We did really well

in the 2012 Olympics, I'll have you

know, and other things.

The under

20s football team won as well and

these are our future footballers.

I'm just saying.

They all look so

chuffed.

Thank you for coming in and

joining me the night and taking us

through the newspapers tomorrow.

Thanks to you for joining us as

well. Coming up next is the film

review. Have a really good night.
