0:00:22 > 0:00:27Now to have a look at what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow.
0:00:27 > 0:00:29With me are the economics commentator and author,
0:00:29 > 0:00:31Dharshini David, and the Home Affairs Editor
0:00:31 > 0:00:34of the London Evening Standard, Martin Bentham.
0:00:34 > 0:00:43Good evening to both of you. Thank you for coming in and is joining us.
0:00:43 > 0:00:43-- and joining.
0:00:43 > 0:00:45Tomorrow's front pages, starting with this.
0:00:45 > 0:00:47The Financial Times leads with the Catalonia independence
0:00:47 > 0:00:50crisis, as the region's government prepares for its first day under
0:00:50 > 0:00:51direct rule by Madrid.
0:00:51 > 0:00:55The Metro says pressure is being put on the Prime Minister to reveal
0:00:55 > 0:00:57anything she knows about alleged sexual harassment in Westminster.
0:00:57 > 0:00:59The Telegraph is leading with the same story.
0:01:00 > 0:01:03It says Theresa May will sack any ministers if they are proved
0:01:03 > 0:01:04to have behaved inapprorpriately.
0:01:04 > 0:01:07The Times has more on that story, as well as a big pictures
0:01:07 > 0:01:09of newly-crowned Formula 1 champion, Lewis Hamilton.
0:01:09 > 0:01:12The top story in the Daily Mail is the prime minister's response
0:01:13 > 0:01:14to the Westminster sexual harassment allegations,
0:01:14 > 0:01:17including a shake-up of procedures to deal with such claims.
0:01:17 > 0:01:20The Guardian has the news that Gordon Brown apparently feels Labour
0:01:20 > 0:01:23didn't win the 2010 election because he wasn't a good fit
0:01:23 > 0:01:24for today's emotional politics.
0:01:24 > 0:01:26The Sun reports Great British Bakeoff star Sophie Faldo,
0:01:26 > 0:01:39is being investigated, for alleged benefit fraud.
0:01:39 > 0:01:48And now to start with the Times. Of course, the ongoing reporting on the
0:01:48 > 0:01:56allegations in Westminster. A call for tougher rules as the first MPs
0:01:56 > 0:02:00are named. One wonders where the pressure is coming from. Theresa May
0:02:00 > 0:02:07is doing it, isn't she?This is a test of her leadership once again.
0:02:07 > 0:02:12It is not just about the allegations, which are still coming
0:02:12 > 0:02:16out tonight, it is more about the case this is a system she has
0:02:16 > 0:02:20acknowledged she cannot do much with. She wrote to the Speaker
0:02:20 > 0:02:25saying can we change this? MPs are effectively self-employed, so it is
0:02:25 > 0:02:31up to them. This is very embarrassing.I think what is being
0:02:31 > 0:02:37said is at the moment it is mainly Tory MPs in the frame. There could
0:02:37 > 0:02:43be others in other parties as time goes on. What is going on is the
0:02:43 > 0:02:47Prime Minister, if she knows, we don't know what she does know, but
0:02:47 > 0:02:55if she finds out that MPs, including senior ministers, according to some
0:02:55 > 0:02:59of the allegations, have been involved in inappropriate conduct,
0:02:59 > 0:03:05she should deal with them robustly and immediately. She says one of
0:03:05 > 0:03:14those named, Stephen Crabb, send inappropriate messages. The Whip
0:03:14 > 0:03:18should be removed from him. The question is what she should do is
0:03:18 > 0:03:26that if evidence is brought to her, ask them about the truth or
0:03:26 > 0:03:33otherwise. If they deny them, there has to be an investigation. The
0:03:33 > 0:03:37suggestion is she should try to discipline those that she finds
0:03:37 > 0:03:42there has been evidence they have done something wrong.There is so
0:03:42 > 0:03:48much pressure on her. She is the Prime Minister. These allegations
0:03:48 > 0:03:52are about Westminster politicians. It is cross-party. If it is
0:03:52 > 0:03:56happening in Westminster, who knows where it is happening? It follows
0:03:56 > 0:04:03Harvey Weinstein and the sexual harassment allegations. He says
0:04:03 > 0:04:10there was no nonconsensual sex. But no day has gone by we have not been
0:04:10 > 0:04:15reporting on sexual harassment, not just in Westminster.Other papers
0:04:15 > 0:04:18are leading the allegations of things happening, even here at the
0:04:18 > 0:04:25BBC. We hold people to a high standard...Which is why she may
0:04:25 > 0:04:38have to sack any MP. She has to lead the way.That headline is stating
0:04:38 > 0:04:43the obvious. If they have been proven to engage in anything
0:04:43 > 0:04:48physical, it is a criminal activity, it goes beyond sacking. The
0:04:48 > 0:04:53difficulty is exactly what we were just getting at, substantiating the
0:04:53 > 0:04:58truth about these allegations. Some people may turn out to say I have
0:04:58 > 0:05:03done something wrong. If that happens, that is quite easy to deal
0:05:03 > 0:05:14with. If not, it will take more time.You have Garnier holding his
0:05:14 > 0:05:17hands up, and there is an investigation. On the other hand,
0:05:17 > 0:05:23some may be nonconsensual affairs that happened a long time ago.
0:05:23 > 0:05:27Ultimately, in the long-run, it will be interesting to see what the
0:05:27 > 0:05:33Speaker, John Bercow, who the Prime Minister wrote to calling for
0:05:33 > 0:05:39tougher rules, what he and parliamentary authorities do about
0:05:39 > 0:05:43it. There needs to be a channel for people who feel they have been a
0:05:43 > 0:05:47victim of something inappropriate, to contact authorities and have an
0:05:47 > 0:05:52outlet for it, a confidential one, so they can raise it. Often, there
0:05:52 > 0:06:00are people who are MPs, of course, they are only employed by the MP,
0:06:00 > 0:06:05and they are junior people, often, they don't have a lot of ability to
0:06:05 > 0:06:08go and contact people. You are taking on someone so much more
0:06:08 > 0:06:12powerful. That is what happens with these power relationships.And
0:06:12 > 0:06:19institutions.You need an outlet, and you also need to make sure
0:06:19 > 0:06:23people in positions of power, who have been enabled in their behaviour
0:06:23 > 0:06:30by people around them, whether it is a company, the power they have...
0:06:30 > 0:06:35The BBC has said this week that it has procedures in place for
0:06:35 > 0:06:40allegations. The Daily Mirror has a story, reporting that an
0:06:40 > 0:06:46investigation has been launched into Radio 5 live presenter George Riley.
0:06:46 > 0:06:51The BBC is not confirming it, saying they do not comment on individual
0:06:51 > 0:06:58cases.It shows how sensitive this is at the moment. These allegations
0:06:58 > 0:07:03are being encouraged in a way they were not in the past.We are talking
0:07:03 > 0:07:08about it. It is being reported on, but slowly.One interesting thing
0:07:08 > 0:07:12about this is that many of these claims and allegations are coming up
0:07:12 > 0:07:19through WhatsApp and other networks. If you are a 22-year-old working for
0:07:19 > 0:07:26NMP and this has happened to you and you have He may not be part of the
0:07:26 > 0:07:32network. -- an MP.The Financial Times to be a number of papers
0:07:32 > 0:07:43reporting on Catalonia. A big day and a big test.The first day of
0:07:43 > 0:07:49direct rule. The Catalan officials are being required to carry out the
0:07:49 > 0:07:56edict from Spain, how they respond is important, especially the police,
0:07:56 > 0:08:00that is important, and also how the Spanish then deal with any defiance,
0:08:00 > 0:08:08any resistance, any public protest. Clearly, what must not happen, I
0:08:08 > 0:08:13think, is heavy handedness on the part of the Spanish. That only makes
0:08:13 > 0:08:19it worse.It is a massive test. Trying to divide the tension.It is
0:08:19 > 0:08:22quick as well. Only eight weeks away, the election.That could
0:08:22 > 0:08:26backfire as well. We saw what happened with the referendum.
0:08:26 > 0:08:34Heavy-handed tactics did not work. Exactly. Ultimately, the Spanish
0:08:34 > 0:08:38have to win the Catalan people over by persuasion rather than by force.
0:08:38 > 0:08:44That is the crucial thing. They have to persuade them as a whole it is in
0:08:44 > 0:08:48their interest to remain part of Spain. Trying to Dragoon them into
0:08:48 > 0:08:55it will not work.The Daily Telegraph. There is a story on the
0:08:55 > 0:08:59NHS. It is always under scrutiny, but especially this time of year,
0:08:59 > 0:09:07when it is tested to its absolute max. Jeremy Hunt has been told by
0:09:07 > 0:09:11Philip Hammond no extra money will be provided, especially for pay
0:09:11 > 0:09:17rises for doctors and nurses. They have to find the money elsewhere?It
0:09:17 > 0:09:23is not exactly down the back of a sofa. They need a decent pay rise.
0:09:23 > 0:09:27Obviously, doctors and nurses among many public sector workers have seen
0:09:27 > 0:09:37pay freezes. They have a big retaining problem. Many of us are
0:09:37 > 0:09:41getting older and are not as healthy as we used to be to be medicine
0:09:41 > 0:09:47costs more. A lot of pressure on the NHS.Page two of the Sun. Pressure
0:09:47 > 0:09:53to stamp out stamp duty. I am sure that is coming from homeowners. But
0:09:53 > 0:09:59who else is under pressure was blue this is a think tank, the Adam Smith
0:09:59 > 0:10:09Institute, which is claiming for going this duty of £12 million would
0:10:09 > 0:10:18bring £10 billion back. It is a huge amount of money if you are a
0:10:18 > 0:10:23housebuyer.Yes, especially getting on the bottom rung of the ladder.
0:10:23 > 0:10:29The thing is, particularly for the up, if you take it away, house
0:10:29 > 0:10:37prices will go up and you will have to pay it in a different way. It is
0:10:37 > 0:10:41interesting. It is not on the Chancellor's list, it is on eight
0:10:41 > 0:10:48think tank's list. -- A. This is the time of year every think tank in
0:10:48 > 0:11:00person gives a wish list to the Chancellor.Page two. A story we
0:11:00 > 0:11:06have reported on today. Thousands of people are driving diesel cars
0:11:06 > 0:11:11illegally, driving modified diesel cars without pollution filters. I
0:11:11 > 0:11:19want to start with you. This comes at a time when drivers will have to
0:11:19 > 0:11:25pay even more money to bring dirty cars into the of the capital.London
0:11:25 > 0:11:29is not the only city with a problem with pollution causing people to
0:11:29 > 0:11:38die. This story is not a new story. It has been around 2-3 years, this
0:11:38 > 0:11:53problem of people having filters removed by garages. A, when you have
0:11:53 > 0:11:56your filter, it filters out dangerous particles and makes them
0:11:56 > 0:12:02more healthy. When you replace it, you don't have to pay for it to be
0:12:02 > 0:12:06replaced because you don't have one. It also gives better mileage. There
0:12:06 > 0:12:13are many economic advantages to you as a selfish driver if you want to
0:12:13 > 0:12:17be selfish and pollute the atmosphere for everyone else, to
0:12:17 > 0:12:24remove it. People have been doing it knowing they are allowing the cars
0:12:24 > 0:12:31to be driven illegally. Fortunately, it seems there is a solution around
0:12:31 > 0:12:35the corner in the next few years. It will be easier to detect this. At
0:12:35 > 0:12:41the moment, it is not easy to detect this happening because filters are
0:12:41 > 0:12:45concealed inside the exhaust. It is quite difficult to see. There is a
0:12:45 > 0:12:52suggestion this will be fixed soon. Anyone who has had this done should
0:12:52 > 0:13:04be disgraced, I should say.Well, we will finish with Lewis Hamilton. He
0:13:04 > 0:13:13graces the front pages and the back pages! Quite rightly so. The Metro.
0:13:13 > 0:13:17Fantastic four. Lewis Hamilton battles back from a first lap crash
0:13:17 > 0:13:22with Sebastian Vettel to get an historic title. Almost did not at
0:13:22 > 0:13:29the start. A close shave. The most successful route it Formula 1
0:13:29 > 0:13:36driver. -- British. Still a long way to go to be the world best.But he
0:13:36 > 0:13:43is quite young.He is doing well under pressure.It was a riveting
0:13:43 > 0:13:50race. Did not start how we wanted it. The crash quickly and sounded
0:13:50 > 0:14:01angry.He asked the question, did he do that on purpose?I am sure the
0:14:01 > 0:14:05champagne will be flowing in Mexico tonight. Thank you to both of you
0:14:05 > 0:14:11for coming in to talk about the papers with us. We will do it again
0:14:11 > 0:14:17tomorrow at 1030. You can keep up-to-date on line as well. You can
0:14:17 > 0:14:20get up-to-date with what is happening at the local cinema now.
