0:00:00 > 0:00:11releases, in The Film Review.
0:00:16 > 0:00:19Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be
0:00:19 > 0:00:20bringing us tomorrow.
0:00:20 > 0:00:23With me are Eve Pollard, the broadcaster and former
0:00:23 > 0:00:26Fleet Street editor, and the economics commentator
0:00:26 > 0:00:30and author Dharshini David.
0:00:30 > 0:00:32Tomorrow's front pages: The Sunday Times claims
0:00:32 > 0:00:35the Prime Minister will hold a cabinet reshuffle on Monday,
0:00:35 > 0:00:37with up to six ministers being moved or sacked.
0:00:37 > 0:00:40Its main story follows an investigation by the paper
0:00:40 > 0:00:42which claims to have found Google profiting from those
0:00:42 > 0:00:46with addictive diseases.
0:00:46 > 0:00:48The Sunday Telegraph reports that Theresa May is to appoint
0:00:48 > 0:00:50a new education secretary to try to reinvigorate
0:00:51 > 0:00:53the Government's approach to schools, leaving the incumbent,
0:00:53 > 0:00:54Justine Greening, fighting for her job.
0:00:54 > 0:00:58In another area of education policy, the Mail on Sunday claims Mrs May
0:00:58 > 0:01:01has criticised her new university tsar, Toby Young, after old social
0:01:01 > 0:01:05media posts of his were found to contain sexist and obscene remarks.
0:01:05 > 0:01:07The Observer headlines President Trump's reaction
0:01:07 > 0:01:09to a new book about his administration.
0:01:09 > 0:01:11The publication by the journalist Michael Wolff questions
0:01:11 > 0:01:25President Trump's mental stability since taking office.
0:01:25 > 0:01:28The Sunday Express writes that Theresa May has ordered a review
0:01:28 > 0:01:30into parole boards after former taxi driver John Worboys,
0:01:30 > 0:01:32found guilty of sexual assault against 12 women,
0:01:32 > 0:01:43was released after nine years in prison.
0:01:43 > 0:01:48I didn't mention Brexit, but it is still in here, I promise, somewhere,
0:01:48 > 0:01:52related no doubt to the reshuffle, which is where we began. The Sunday
0:01:52 > 0:01:58Times headline, Theresa May plots to reshuffle an entire sixpack of
0:01:58 > 0:02:03Cabinet ministers.It is amazing how they make Vics Pack sound like a lot
0:02:03 > 0:02:07when there are lots and lots of Cabinet ministers, many of whom we
0:02:07 > 0:02:14cannot remember the names of. -- sixpack. Apparently they are going
0:02:14 > 0:02:18to change again on Monday or Tuesday. It was Monday, but it could
0:02:18 > 0:02:22be Tuesday.It could be the senior ones on Monday, the more junior ones
0:02:22 > 0:02:29on Tuesday.Well, Theresa May does not have a lot of time, because Mr
0:02:29 > 0:02:32Barnier is probably celebrating Christmas and is not freely
0:02:32 > 0:02:36available for Brexit talks. So you have to get your reshuffle in fast.
0:02:36 > 0:02:40Apparently they did research in the set one of the reasons the Tories
0:02:40 > 0:02:45did not do well at the election was that people were very unhappy with
0:02:45 > 0:02:51the schooling of their children, which I think there is a feeling
0:02:51 > 0:02:54that schooling, we never come out anywhere near the top of the list is
0:02:54 > 0:03:00of children who have got mathematical knowledge or reading
0:03:00 > 0:03:05and writing skills, all the rest of it -- lists. So we are going to
0:03:05 > 0:03:10change all the people round and have another go.Well, that would mean,
0:03:10 > 0:03:17then, as it says in the Sunday Telegraph, that Greening fights for
0:03:17 > 0:03:21job as Theresa May wield the axe but some teaching unions have felt she
0:03:21 > 0:03:25understood them a great deal more, which of course may be problematic
0:03:25 > 0:03:30to the Conservatives.Indeed, and this is interesting, because we all
0:03:30 > 0:03:34thought it was the NHS which was in crisis. When you read these reports,
0:03:34 > 0:03:38it seems the government thinks education is the crisis creating a
0:03:38 > 0:03:43headache for them, and therefore Justine Greening must go. She has
0:03:43 > 0:03:47been quite popular in some sectors, relatively speaking. It is also a
0:03:47 > 0:03:50time when you are seeing huge changes to the funding of schools,
0:03:50 > 0:03:54creating a lot of problems for schools and parents, all of whom
0:03:54 > 0:03:59vote, and that has been hugely popular, and this is a central plank
0:03:59 > 0:04:03of the government's pledged to improve productivity post-Brexit and
0:04:03 > 0:04:07we are also hearing from the Sunday Times that Mrs May thinks Justine
0:04:07 > 0:04:13Greening has a patronising tone. So it looks like, if these are right,
0:04:13 > 0:04:17she could be on her way out while Jeremy Hunt could be on his way up,
0:04:17 > 0:04:23replacing Damian Green.I have to say, newspapers do get a bit over
0:04:23 > 0:04:28excited about reshuffles.And its readers do not.Some readers do,
0:04:28 > 0:04:31probably if you have a vested interest, or if you have been
0:04:31 > 0:04:35writing to them and they have been writing back to you, you lucky
0:04:35 > 0:04:39person. But in the end, of course, the political editors, it their
0:04:39 > 0:04:43life. It changes who they can have lunch with, who they could be
0:04:43 > 0:04:47talking to, and if you have just got yourself in with Justine Greening,
0:04:47 > 0:04:52and then off she goes, maybe... I mean, it is important, but actually
0:04:52 > 0:04:57Brexit is the thing that matters now.It is the thing that is taking
0:04:57 > 0:05:02everybody's time and energy. The other thing which has set Justine
0:05:02 > 0:05:05Greening and Theresa May apart was their attitude towards grammar
0:05:05 > 0:05:09schools, which hasn't materialised, of course.Has not materialised, and
0:05:09 > 0:05:15don't forget Acura three is not just about education, she also has a
0:05:15 > 0:05:19quality under her belt as well. I know we were talking about the
0:05:19 > 0:05:27gender pay gap.I never tire of talking about that!Why is it always
0:05:27 > 0:05:34stuck in with somebody else's job?I would be only too glad to sort that
0:05:34 > 0:05:44out.It could be Monday or Tuesday you find out.It is a strange one to
0:05:44 > 0:05:50tuck in when it affects more than half the population.On the other
0:05:50 > 0:05:56thing, of course, you are quite right that the NHS is having
0:05:56 > 0:06:00problems, and it makes great headlines, but more people have
0:06:00 > 0:06:03children than ill, thank heavens, and it really does affect people's
0:06:03 > 0:06:08lives and their dreams and all the rest of it.The Mail On Sunday. The
0:06:08 > 0:06:21PM's discussed at the student tsar's sordid tweets. This is Toby Young,
0:06:21 > 0:06:25who we know and who has in the past kindly reviewed the papers for us,
0:06:25 > 0:06:30he has a new office for the student watchdog at some tweets from eight
0:06:30 > 0:06:34years ago has resurfaced.This is the thing university students are
0:06:34 > 0:06:38told all the time. Be careful on social media, because it can come
0:06:38 > 0:06:44back to haunt you.What they are only told this now.He was in his
0:06:44 > 0:06:5140s, though.A young man, didn't know any better!The other thing is,
0:06:51 > 0:06:54he probably understand students better than somebody who has never
0:06:54 > 0:06:58done anything so silly.I have read the tweets, and they are not the
0:06:58 > 0:07:02ghillie edifying. You haven't read them, but you will find them very
0:07:02 > 0:07:08easily.On the other hand, people have been saying how can you, in a
0:07:08 > 0:07:11position of responsibility, make these kinds of comments on a public
0:07:11 > 0:07:19forum and expect to keep your post? Has he apologised? Has he talked
0:07:19 > 0:07:25about it? Has he been questioned? People have been defending...
0:07:25 > 0:07:30Friends of years have been defending him, so he amounts to a great deal
0:07:30 > 0:07:35more than that, and as you said, he has done a lot of work with Free
0:07:35 > 0:07:40Schools, so he is clearly embedded in the world of education.On the
0:07:40 > 0:07:44other hand there was all this talk about the fact that a press release
0:07:44 > 0:07:48had said he taught in Harvard and Cambridge, when in fact he was a
0:07:48 > 0:07:51student and had some kind of supervisory role, which isn't the
0:07:51 > 0:07:57same.CV writing, maybe that is what needs to be looked at as well.Make
0:07:57 > 0:08:01sure you have been way you say you have been.Don't exaggerate. The
0:08:01 > 0:08:10Sunday express, PM's fury at rate fast. A Lot four Theresa May to be
0:08:10 > 0:08:15dealing with at the moment, before she gets back to the racks at table.
0:08:15 > 0:08:19This is the release after nine years in prison of John Worboys, the
0:08:19 > 0:08:23former black cab driver who many people felt should have served
0:08:23 > 0:08:29longer than nine years for these offences.There is this new thing,
0:08:29 > 0:08:34the indeterminate sentence, which is about ten years old, apparently. Of
0:08:34 > 0:08:38course, when they say somebody has an indeterminate sentence, you think
0:08:38 > 0:08:43they are going down for a long time. That is not how it works at all. But
0:08:43 > 0:08:47interestingly, we have been looking at possibly becoming parole board
0:08:47 > 0:08:54members ourselves.You can apply for this, can you?Well, it is public
0:08:54 > 0:08:59appointments. It is a bit in the mire and sludge. I think you need a
0:08:59 > 0:09:02double degree in classics from Cambridge or Oxford to become one,
0:09:02 > 0:09:06but we are going to look into it, aren't we?The other thing which
0:09:06 > 0:09:11struck us is there are only three people on the board who make the
0:09:11 > 0:09:15decision.There are many people who sit on the board, but at any one
0:09:15 > 0:09:20time there are only three.Shall we go into how many people its?Dozens,
0:09:20 > 0:09:28but it comes down to three people in the end.Well, it may do. You also
0:09:28 > 0:09:34have the situation where not only were the victims not told he was
0:09:34 > 0:09:41going to be released, and many, many victims were not used in the court
0:09:41 > 0:09:46trial.Indeed, and the fact of the matter, as well, is we don't know
0:09:46 > 0:09:50why the decision was made by the parole board, and we won't know.The
0:09:50 > 0:09:55Daily Telegraph reports that the children, chairman of the parole
0:09:55 > 0:10:00board is considering publishing the rationale behind the decision to
0:10:00 > 0:10:04release John Worboys, but tonight, a spokesperson for the parole board
0:10:04 > 0:10:08said this is misleading and that it has no plans to release this
0:10:08 > 0:10:11information, because rules don't permit it to. And that raises the
0:10:11 > 0:10:16question about should the rules be changed? No-one the rules should be
0:10:16 > 0:10:20changed. I think that if you were one of those victims or a relation
0:10:20 > 0:10:24of one of those victims, you would want to know why the world, why this
0:10:24 > 0:10:29group of these three people on the parole board, thought this man had
0:10:29 > 0:10:33changed so much in nine years, having been convicted of raping, I
0:10:33 > 0:10:42think, 14 women, is that right?It is a hell of a lot.And then there
0:10:42 > 0:10:47are all the other alleged victims out there.It is 12 convictions, but
0:10:47 > 0:10:54there are thought to be possibly 100 women.Don't you often think in
0:10:54 > 0:10:58Britain that our laws are very old-fashioned and they are all about
0:10:58 > 0:11:02property? So you steal, you really go down for a long time. But
0:11:02 > 0:11:06actually raping a woman on a premeditated basis...When you look
0:11:06 > 0:11:11at the kind of things he had in his cab, it is utterly shocking.Well,
0:11:11 > 0:11:16there are calls for the reasoning behind the parole board's decision
0:11:16 > 0:11:27to be made available. The Observer is where we will finish, bigly.I
0:11:27 > 0:11:32think we should put this on our CV is when we apply for the parole
0:11:32 > 0:11:36board, we are a very stable genius. I will give you both good
0:11:36 > 0:11:41references. We have heard Trump say I am a very stable genius, we have
0:11:41 > 0:11:45also said we have a situation where I was a very excellent student,
0:11:45 > 0:11:50which is extraordinary English, isn't it?Even if you were a very
0:11:50 > 0:11:56excellent student, would you go around boasting about it?It is
0:11:56 > 0:12:01better to wear these things lightly. I think so, that people find out for
0:12:01 > 0:12:08themselves.He is keeping this story going.You have to wonder,
0:12:08 > 0:12:11apparently he has his lawyers going over this one, but you have to
0:12:11 > 0:12:18wonder if he has read the book as avidly as others?Well, Michael
0:12:18 > 0:12:23Wolff says he doesn't read.Is the audio book available? They are
0:12:23 > 0:12:27casting doubt on his mental stability, whether he is fit for
0:12:27 > 0:12:31office. He wants instant gratification, but of course Donald
0:12:31 > 0:12:35Trump is rubbishing Michael Wolff, saying he is a fraud and this is a
0:12:35 > 0:12:41work of fiction.If he says he has tapes, that will be interesting. He
0:12:41 > 0:12:45says he was sitting around in the White House for ages. I mean, Donald
0:12:45 > 0:12:51Trump is on the Apprentice every day. He just happens to be president
0:12:51 > 0:12:55of America. He just happens to be broadcasting from the White House.
0:12:55 > 0:13:00And having started reading the book, I have to say what you read here
0:13:00 > 0:13:03ties in entirely with the character Michael Wolff is talking about. I
0:13:03 > 0:13:07don't think he is doing himself any favours with these types of
0:13:07 > 0:13:11comments.And the books will sell well. It is a shame it wasn't time
0:13:11 > 0:13:15for Christmas, it would have gone wild. Thank you very much for coming
0:13:15 > 0:13:17in, lovely to see you both again.
